Ginny, in my database I have a Jane Elizabeth (aka LB or Libby) Jolly who married Richard H. Hall on 8-1-1864 in Lincoln Co., TN. This couple moved to Fannin Co., TX where they spent the rest of their lives. Jane died 9-18-1885 and is buried in the Deal Cemetery, Fannin Co., TX. Richard (he'd remarried) died 8-28-1904 and is buried beside Jane. Richard and Jane had 8 kids, two of whom are my gg-aunts and uncles - their kids are double kin because two of their Hall sons married two Blanton sisters. I have an extensive file on the descendants of the descendants of the two Hall-Blanton families, which includes more than 50 or 60 obituaries. I also have a copy of the research records on the Richard Hall family that was researched and prepared by Dorothy Latimer, whose husband descends from this family line. That book includes information (including some oral interview data) on most of the children of Jane Jolly and Richard H. Hall. If you go to the Fannin Co., TX website you will find several obituaries (containing typos) that over the years I've submitted to that website. Ruth -----Original Message----- From: Virginia L.
