Jamie, I checked out the 1910 census in Muskingham County HALL, Wm J, 51, married 3 yrs, b. OH, unknown, unknown, Laborer, brick works Anna M, 22, 0 children, b. OH, OH, OH MOFFETT, Chrisi~~al, niece, 9, b. OH, OH, OH EDGAR, Joseph, Boarder, b. OH, OH, OH Then looked in Coshocton County in 1900 and found this HALL, William, Head, April 1858, 42, married 24 yrs, b. OH, ENG, (blank), coal mine boss, own farm free Margaret, wife, March 1858, 42, 3 children / 2 living, b. OH, OH, OH EDGAR, Joseph, servant, Feb 1867, 33, S, b. OH, OH, OH So, it would be safe to assume that this is the same William since Joseph EDGAR is living with him in 1900 and 1910. Which also answers your question of whether he was married before. Will keep looking for info. Karen
