Nancy, Thank you for the help. It is a miracle that you recognized those names in the Lewis Hall household. If I had looked at that page 5 times, I would have never recognized it, with that handwriting. You are very good. In 1860, now we have Abigail Huff (age 47-52) and her youngest daughter living with Lewis Hall (age 53) in Blooming Grove, Orange Co., NY , and her middle daughter, Amelia, living with James Hall (age 33) in Monroe, Orange Co., NY. somehow, I don't think that that is a coincidence. Thanks!!! v/r, Beverly Alexander Culpeper, VA I hear ethereal voices, persuasive, soft and still Daughter, if you don't remember us, who will?
