Researcher's Notes

Two William Halls, each with a son William

William Hall, II, of Halltown versus William Hall, Rev. War Veteran

NOTE: The evidence connecting William Hall (1743-1836) to the Halls of Halltown is weak. We (on Geni) postulate he was a "different" Willam Hall, of unknown origins. Further information is welcome.

• This William Hall was born about 1731 - eldest son of his parents.
• That William Hall was born 1743 - based on his Rev War pension application. No parents, siblings, wife mentioned (http://revwarapps.org/s16142.pdf)
• That William Hall served in revolutionary war under Captains Crookshank and Brown and Cornels Morgan and Bird (http://revwarapps.org/s16142.pdf). His children were: Henry, Catherine married Nimrod Snider, William III, Jesse and Sarah married Abner Powell.
• (This quote conflates the two.) "His RW pension statement said he was born in 1743. He apparently was married before 1764 because his father's will indicates William II had children." [sic: Rev. War William] "He first married Elizabeth Lucas, dau. of Edward Lucas Jr. and first wife Mary Darke, with whom he had at least four known children. According to a will of Elizabeth Lucas' father, she died before 1777. William Hall was executor of his father's estate." [William Hall II.]
• That Willam Hall lived in Frederick / Shenandoah County before the War, and in Preston County, VA / WV after about 1781. He died in Monroe County, Ohio in 1739, living with his son William (a different William from this William's son William.)
• This William Hall was the son in law of the Quaker, Edward Lucas who died 1777 in current day Jefferson County, WV, and was executor of his estate.
• No mention of this William Hall serving in the Rev War or living anyplace other than Halltown.

Origins

https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:William_Hall_%28241%29

William Hall, the elder, died on the 10th day of November, 1764, leaving seven sons; viz. William, (his eldest [sic] son, and heir at law,) James, Richard, John, Anthony, Thomas and Joseph; and four daughters; viz. Elizabeth, Ruth, Hannah, and Sarah, that Joseph Hall, aforesaid, died on the first day of January, 1797, leaving no child, and never having had any; having first made his last will and testament, (which was also found in haec verba.) devising to his wife, Mary Hall, the tract of land on which he resided, containing 396 acres, during her life, with remainder in fee to Elizabeth North, wife of George North, and John Hall, son of his brother, John Hall, deceased, to be equally divided between them.

William Hall wrote a will on October 21, 1764, probated 4 December 1764. He divided his land among his children. To son William Hall he gave the land where said William lived and below his plantation to son James Hall; the northern section he gave to son Richard Hall. His old plantation was to be divided between sons John Hall and Anthony Hall [our ancestor]. To son Thomas Hall and Joseph Hall he gave his new ‘dwelling and the mill thereon.’ But all of the above tract of land were only to his sons for their life time and then to their eldest son or daughter. He gave to his son William Hall the right to cut hay around his mill and 3 acres of the meadow next to the mill to his son James Hall. His children were to have the right to have their grain ground ‘tool free’ at the mill for their life time. To his daughters Elizabeth Pemberton, Ruth Heavin, Hannah Harris and Sarah Keyes he left his new survey which was to be sold by his executors and the money divided between them. To his beloved wife, sister of Richard Richardson, he gave his stock and everything on his plantation for her life. (Frederick Co., Va. Will Book 3, page 233)
