She was the daughter of Colonel Harmon Runnels who fought in the Revolutionary War and the "Indian Wars". He moved to Miss. from Georgia. He was a member of the Statehood Convention of 1817 and his son Hiram, Bethany's brother, was Governor of Mississippi in the 1830's. Their cousin, Hardin Runnels, was a governor of Texas. This would explain the names of three of her sons being Hiram and Hardin and Harmon. Bethany and Alexander's daughter, Eliza Ann, married Judge Marmaduke Kimbrough of Carrollton, and they reportedly died on the same day in 1848. I believe there are some court records in Carroll County--Bethany Hall vs. O.L. Kimbrough, that had to do with the minor children of Judge Kimbrough and Eliza. I also have seen Bethany's name in the Baptist Church records in Carrollton for the 1840's where the Kimbroughs were also listed as members. I would like any additional informa! tion you may have about the Halls (or the Runnels family) if you have found anything--the only thing I have about Alexander is his name.
