Posted on: HALIFAX CO, VA QUERY FORUM Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Va/Halifax/2296 Surname: Halls and Barnes ------------------------- Dear Virginia: My great grandfather, James Madison Hall, was born in Halifax County VA on June 17, 1839. He had several brothers and sisters. His parents were William Johnson Hall bonr 3-7-1809 in Halifax Co. and he died abt 1863. He married Ann Elizabeth Barnes 4-4-1831 in Charlotte County, VA. She was born 6-22-1812 in Charlotte County Va. She died 08-25-1896 in McCracken County KY. William and Ann with all of their children migrated to McCracken County about 1845. I have been trying to find out who the parents of William Johnson Hall. He was on the 1840 Halifax County, VA Census, the 1850 and 1860 McCracken County, KY Censuses. His widow, Ann Elizabeth was on the 1870 and 1880 McCracken County, KY Censuses. The siblings of James Madison are George, John, Thomas, Harriet, and Molly. Harriet and Molly were born in McCracken County, KY. George died during the Civil War. I am not sure but I think our lines might connect if we could go back one more generation. Diana
