Marian, The Hancock county marriage records indicate that John Hall married Nancy Byal April 9, 1846. John, age 25, and Nancy, age 25, Hall are on the 1850 US Census in Liberty Township, family number 10. They have children William, age 3, and Emily, age 11/12. I don't have a reference for later years but you should check all the censuses where they might have lived. Your grandfather should show up on the 1860, etc. Incidentally, I have checked my records for earlier generations and find that this John Hall is probably not related to my Obediah. Obediah's parents were Joshua Hall and Nancy Brown. They only had two sons. The other one, Caleb, died as a young adult before he married. No Children from Caleb's line.
