To all the Hall descendants who have followed my search for the first Hall immigrant to the colony of Virginia; the search has ended. It is now known that John Hall who died circa 1777 somewhere in Virginia, leaving 3 heirs: Benjamin, Elizabeth and minor child Mildred, was descended from Thomas Hall and Margery Claxton Hall of Gloucester Co., Virginia. Thomas came to Virginia circa 1640. He and Margery had 3 children: Thomas (Jr.), John and Catharine. Thomas (jr.) died young but left a son, John. John Hall married and left many children, among them a John in each geberation. The connection to this Hall family was made through a DNA match. I am still trying to find the direct line from Benjamin's father, John, to the immigrant. However, the lack of records due to fires, and the abundance of so many John Halls all living at the same time in the same place makes this a daunting task. Just wanted everyone who is descended from Rev. James H. Hall of Weakley Co and his grandfather, Benjamin Hall of Halifax Co. Va. to know who their ancestor was. Grace Hall Upshaw
