They had a daughter Sousanna Bragden Hall m. Thomas Gardener LEWIS (my line) and two other sons, James H. and Harvey. Ii feel certain there is a connection with your HALL family, but you are the first from this line I have heard from. Elisha was listed as a "boatbuilder" in the 1810 Mason Co. census. Evans and Stivers has a writup on Elisha that states he was born near Philadelphia, but I have long speculated that MD was a more likely place. Would love to explore this further. You can find my HALL line listed on my website http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~swanger Mary .com/~swanger Mary
