I'm writing to remind you of our free materials that would be fun and useful for your family reunions that might be scheduled this summer, the program called "Ask Granny." My friend and I have developed this series of free emailed pdf files which can be used to collect and record irreplaceable family memories of any senior citizens you might know. The enhanced ancestral chart is what you would use to help seniors record their basic family info back to their great grandparents and the 1930 census. The files are designed to be used, mix and match, for many situations. They can be made into posters, slides, and handouts. There are teaching aids as well as a file to help teach children how to interview their Grannies and Grandpas. We've sent the files all over the world and have lots of good feedback from individuals and Genealogical Societies as far away as Australia. More info is at: https://sites.google.com/site/askgranny2010/ Please let me know if you have questions or if you'd like me to send you the files for your reunion or other family history/senior citizen activities. We don't anyone to ever have to say when it's too late: "Why didn't we Ask Granny about that??"

I have some natural skepticism about the accuracy of the local histories when they report traditions dating from a century or two in the past--e.g., John A. Chapman's multiple conflicting accounts about Revolutionary actions in Newberry or Edgefield Co. The Portrait and Genealogical Records entry appears to refer to Amos Hall as the one who was born in Charleston, and who supplied provisions to the militia at the Battle of Cowpens (7 Oct 1780). A 14-year-old boy was not in a position to do that. If one interprets that passage as a reference to Amos's father James, it is possible to find a single Stub Indent entry for a Mr. James Hall who provided a small amount of corn to the Continental Line (different from the militia) in 1781 (not 1780). There is no identifying information re which of the multiple James Halls of SC supplied the provisions. Of the 4 James Halls with distinct service records in SC, one of them enlisted in the Newberry region, serving under Capt. James Lindsey and Capt. Jeremiah Williams. This was the Kings Creek/Gilders Creek northern end of later-Newberry, and distant from Bush River. A John Hall served under the same two Captains, which suggests (but does not prove) a relationship. That John Hall stated in his pension application that he was born Sep 1758 in Ireland. A great deal of research has been published about the family of William and Hannah Richardson Hall, some of it documented and some of it creative writing. Most online genealogies state that all of their children were born in Halltown, Jefferson Co WV--none of which existed at the time. The marriage was in Chester Co PA on 23 Apr 1731, at the St. Paul's (Episcopal) Church. William Hall's first Frederick Co VA grant in the Harper's Ferry location near later Halltown WV was dated 1751. His children were named in his 1764 will. The best-documented of the family histories states that son James sold his inherited land in 1765 to his brother Richard (not to Joseph, as I had mis-remembered earlier), then went to Newberry Co SC. He reportedly had a wife named Sarah when he left. This does not imply that this was any specific couple named James and Sarah Hall. The family history at http://sherlene4.wordpress.com says that "this James" died before 1 Apr 1791, as shown by (uncited) local court cases. The locality involved must be Frederick Co VA, since the Newberry Co SC court minutes include no reference to the death of a James Hall at/by that time. The main connecting-link is that two of the (other) children of William and Hannah Richardson Hall were very-documentably residents of Newberry Co SC in the latter 18th century. Elizabeth Hall married Isaiah Pemberton in Frederick Co. Isaiah petitioned for 200 acres of land in SC on 1 Dec 1772. He and his family were received by request at Bush River MM on 12.28.1774. Isaiah Pemberton died 7.13.1794, and Elizabeth [Hall] Pemberton died on 12.28.1795. The eldest Hall son-and-heir, William (b. ~1732), married Elizabeth Lucas in Frederick Co VA; she died before the 1777 will of her father Edward Lucas. William Hall II had another wife named Elizabeth as of 1797, when he was a resident of Newberry Co SC and gave his POA to son William Hall III to handle Frederick Co VA inheritances of his parents William and Hannah Hall, and of his brother Joseph Hall. William Hall II had no Newberry documents in common with your James Hall, or--for that matter--with the children of his deceased sister Elizabeth Hall Pemberton. Although your James Hall remained close to the Pemberton family in SC and OH. There is so much confusion in the reported ancestries and geographies of the various William-and-James Halls that it probably can't be sorted out without a lot of help from yDNA testing, in addition to precisely-referenced paper trails.

I have come across records and references to William Hall over the years and questioned whether James Hall (who married Sarah Duncan) was the son of William Hall and Hannah Richardson. A biography (with no evident sources) written in 1898 about Amos Hall states that the father of James Hall immigrated from England. "...James Hall, the great-great-grandfather of the gentleman of whom we write [Amos A. Hall] , was born only four miles from London. His son, whose Christian name was also James, had a son Amos, from whom our subject is descended. He was born in Charleston, S.C., and during the War of the Revolution, particularly in the battle of Cowpens, supplied the soldiers with provisions.

Thanks, Martha, for posting the "The Old Coffee Road." Faith -----Original Message----- From: sc-bushriverquakers-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:sc-bushriverquakers-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Martha Sent: Monday, January 23, 2012 12:55 PM To: sc-bushriverquakers@rootsweb.com Subject: [SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS] SION & ENOCH HALL If anyone needs info. on SION HALL, who had a son ENOCH HALL, I have a little bit about them. Sion Hall migrated into south GA from SC abt.1820. The SION & ENOCH HALL families lived near the Thomas Co.,GA town of Morven. Coming from SC they had 'won' GA lottery land. The Halls owned a country store & inn just across the road from their farming property. It became locally 'famous' as the 'last stop' before reaching Thomasville, where judges & lawyers gathered for the circuit court routinely held there every few months. Several years ago I went with a friend to find SION HALL's grave. The HALL family graves & stones are in a small, fairly well kept cemetery close by the Miller's Bridge area, abt.15-20 miles east of Thomasville,GA. Below is an interesting excerpt from a famous south GA author concerning the Thomasville area. It includes the HALLS & other families who were early white settlers in the area. Enjoy, Martha ;) --------------------------------------------------------- "THE OLD COFFEE ROAD" (South GA abt.1820) -- by Ed Cone The (Old) Coffee Road route, over which early settlers traveled, has a certain appeal to their descendants, other researchers & historians. These settlers traveled in wagons, two wheeled carts, or walked very long distances; sleeping beneath their vehicles, living off a land that produced wild berries, poke salad, swamp cabbage, wild persimmon, etc. They also depended on the forests & streams for their meat. Squirrels, rabbits, opossum, turkey, dove, quail, fish & turtles, were often available. They traveled with everything they owned in one wagon or cart. Their animals: horses, mules, Oxen, cows, hogs, goats, sheep and chickens were brought along as well. Traveling was very slow - maybe they would make 10-15 miles/day over good ground, in good weather. Other times they were completely halted for days at a time due to swollen, flooded streams, or muddy roads. Severe heat & cold were their enemies; and severe illnesses & death would take their toll. There were no bridges; streams were forded or the grownups swam. Children & older folks rode in the wagons, which often floated away in a fast river current. They buried their dead in graves beside the road never to be seen again. Death, an accepted danger, was at every turn. They had no mail from home, only the comfort of relatives & friends who accompanied them. Everyone learned to work & play together; and they strove to remain true to their religious beliefs. At the end of their journey came the problems of constructing living quarters with crude tools, digging wells, clearing land, planting crops, fighting Indians, bearing children, worshipping God and burying their dead. In the warm weather months bodies were most always buried the day of, or the day after, death. Embalming was unheard of and in hot weather a person who had died late at night or very early in the morning would be buried the same day. Friends & relatives who lived over 10 miles away would probably miss the funeral. By the time they received word of the death, then traveled to the home of the dead, the funeral would be over. There were few opportunities for social events. Funerals & wakes had a certain social value. People would also gather for "Log Rollings", "House Raisings","Peanut Shellings", "Corn Shuckings", "Candy Pullings", "Camp Meetings", "Gander Pullings", "Hoe Downs" and circuit court seessions. Court was one of the main social events of the time. People would travel long distances to attend hearings. A death sentence and a "hanging" would bring visitors from considerable distances ! -----Original Message----- From: sc-bushriverquakers-bounces@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, January 23, 2012 2:01 AM To: sc-bushriverquakers@rootsweb.com Subject: SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS Digest, Vol 6, Issue 19 Today's Topics: Re: Duncan, Hall and Dickson ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
