Next, though I don't know the Halls, we would like to post the family as Jefferson County Pioneers (see the website under people) Also, may I remind everyone that the JCNYGS will print your query, free, in their Newsletter, "The Informer" which reaches a readership which is largely not on the internet. See the query page on the site. And lastly, we welcome all Jefferson County Pioneers home. Though we only use an abbreviated form on the page, we save everything (I like your constant notation) for the JCNYGS. Nan -- http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyjeffer/
