I am the ggg grand daughter of John W. Hall b. 1827 in Hickman County, Tenn. I have posted pictures of him on this site that were given to me by my father. I am having trouble finding his son, William Hall, b. 1848 in Seguin, Tx. We know he married Virgina Lou Littlefield, but cannot find him any where. Does anyone have any information? William's brother was the Edgar W. Hall line. Laurie Hall Leister

I also have an obit for Galveston Van Buren Hall, if you are interested.
Rev Joshua Hall was an older brother of Wesley White Hall, Sr., and performed the marriage between him and his first wife, Matilda E. Ezell

Thank you for responding and I will look in the file cabinet. I am looking for the son of John W. Hall b. 1827 - we just don't have any idea where he ended up. Do you have anything?

Toxey - the letter is so wonderful
Laurie Leister - Feb 6, 2013
Toxey - the letter is so wonderful and matches the photo I have of John W. Hall taken in Carson City. Family history says he went to California and wrote for Robert Howe Bancroft. Actually family history says he went to write for someone named Burroughs, but researching I believe it must have been Bancroft. Bancroft used notes and personal histories of people who actually experienced certain events. Bancroft wrote a history of Texas and its wars and I assume John W. Hall had a lot to tell. This letter and the way it is written would lead one to believe this family story is true.
