Baltimore County Families and Deeds

Toxey Hall - Mar 12, 2010

I have just added some Hall-related information from two books by Robert Barnes- "Baltimore County Families, 1659-1759" and Baltimore County, Maryland Deed Extracts, 1659-1759. The "Families" book indicates that Squire John's father Joshua married Diana Spicer's sister Ann after the death of Diana. On the same page (p.295) it states that Joshua's will left 1/3 of his property to "his friend Mrs. Ann Spicer".

I have a copy of a deed, Baltimore County Land Records, Liber TB#C, f. 63. 9 Nov. 1742. Juliatha Spicer to Mary Spicer.

"In consideration of the natural love, good will and affection while I have and do bear unto MARY SPICER, the daughter of DIANA SPICER the now wife of JOSHUA HALL divers other goods..........

Sounds like Diana's daughter Mary may have been illigetimate....what do you think?

All,
I know you probably already know this but just in case I thought I would share. If you google Maryland State Archives, they have just about everything online. Type in John Hall of Joshua, or John Hall, or Joshua Hall and you will be surprised what you can get.

Thanksgiving with the Merritt Island Halls

Toxey Hall - Nov 29, 2009

I have just posted our annual Thanksgiving family photo. There were 13 at table, five less than all of us. My son Don, the father of the NC branch, and his family were unfortunately unable to come. His family consisting of Don and his wife, Laura, Grandchildren Lauren, Chelsea and Jordon, and our first great-granddaughter, Chandler were sorely missed. Nevertheless, those of us there has a great time - especially Sara and I.

We hope, all of our friends and cousins of the Squire John Hall site enjoyed Thanksgiving as much as we did.
