I have 3 marriages documented for Valentine D. Hall - 1) On 1/4/1870 Darthuly (that's what it looks like on the register - might be a muddling of Dorothy) A. Harris (daughter of Stephen O. Harris & Dianah Smith) b. 8/11/1850, d. 4/21/1879 - They had 5 children between 12/25/1870 and 1878. 2) On 12/12/1880 Mary E. Edwards, dau. of William Edwards 3) On 5/7/1882 Emma G. Lockhart of Louisa Co. Mary Elizabeth Ellen Edwards (dau. of William Taft Edwards & Lucinda M. Hall) was born about 1857 and died 8/11/1931. She and Silas Askew (m. 12/22/1881) had 5 children.
