Looking for our brick wall, the parents of William Hall (1800 - 1854) of Abbeville. William's father was "an Irishman, I think born in South Carolina" and "Grandma Hall's maiden name was O'Neal," (from a letter from William's son, Virgil). Grandpa Hall died before 1837, when Virgil was born. They removed to TX with many of their slaves and following most of William's brothers in 1841. This is not the William Henry that was kin to the Fenton Halls, but his middle name was Henry. The Halls (Grandpa) had 9 sons and 4 daughters. William and Nancy Cannon Hall (Newberry Co.) had 5 or 6 in SC, and guardianship of his nephew, Jesse Fuller (son of Wm.'s sister, Hannah). Sibling names if that helps: Joseph N., James, John, Samuel N., Isaac, Amos, and George Lucien, and Hannah, Jane, and possibly Mary Ann who married Robert Spence in Laurens Co. Looking for any info or direction anyone can provide. I would love to know where they lived, parental names, any clues. Mother may be the Elizabeth Hall in the census with William; census taker J. Johnson--any clues to what area this would be? This is the Abbeville census 2nd part, 1840. If anyone is descended from these Halls, I do have much of the later info to share. Thanks!
