Audrey, Thank you so much for all that info! Some of that looks promising. We have tried for years to tie this to the O'Neals of Newberry because that makes so much sense, but haven't been able to, nor to the Fenton Hall family. I know "Grandpa Hall & Grandma O'Neal" were married about 1795. There were two women receiving Texas land grants at the right time, Elizabeth Hall and Rebecca Hall. They were also large slave holders, and definitely not pacifistic! There is a William Hall who served in the War of 1812 with a Fuller, both in Laurens Co., and because of the connection with the Fuller name, we have wondered if they at that time actually lived in Laurens (though it was the Old 96th District still). Ah, well...Thank you so much again! If you find anything else interesting, please let me know!
