I'm looking for information on the Hall's who moved from the Baltimore, MD area in the 1700s. The area they lived in was Kanawha county, that changed to Mason and then Jackson. I'm not sure where their records would be. I have found some mention of their name in all 3 counties plus Roane county. Peter Hall 1775-? and Polly Hall 1765-? were in Jackson county in 1850. Peters son was Solomon who moved here to Indiana about 1858. I believe Peters father was Joseph, don't have anything on his mother. Both Peter and Joseph came from Maryland, probaly the Baltimore area. Does anyone have anything further on this family ? Steve Hall

Probably me or one of the other Clendenin chasers. By the way I know that in that marriage record her name is spelled Alleva but her name is Alena Elizabeth as was so listed on her son's Soc. Sec. application. I have notified the WVKanawha site so they can make the correction. Thanks for remembering and notifying the list. Betty in Idaho

Posted on: Jackson County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Jackson/1833 Surname: Dunbar, Robinson, Rockhold ------------------------- I am trying to find information on a Nancy Dunbar,who married a Robinson. They had two sons,Benjamin b. Aug. 2, 1859 and James Carson b.July 11, 1857.In the 1860 census Nancy is listed as Nancy Robinson,Benjamin Robinson,James Carson Robinson living in George W. Rockhold home. I`ve also seen Benjamin and James listed as Rockholds. Nancy and George was suppose to be married in 1853.I can find no birth record for Nancy ,nor a death certificate and no record of there marriage. George W. Rockhold and Nancy and children lived in Jackson county,till Nancy died. Then George moved back to Wirt county in Elizabeth.No one seems to know where Nancy is buried.She died July 18,1866. I heard she was b.Oct. 13, 1837. If you have any information on Nancy as a Dunbar, Robinson, or Rockhold email me nippyh1@excite.com

Sorry....in spite of my best efforts, it still came through, messed up. Oh, well.....if there are any individuals that you cannot decipher, email me privately, and I'll clarify it. Julie
