The Hall Cabin was built by Jesse Craton Hall sometime around 1870 and still stands. The cabin is near Hazel Creek, now part of the Great Smokey Mountain National Park.
This Hall family were the first white settlers in the Bone Valley, Sugar Fork area of North Carolina. By the the late 1930's and early 1940's over two thousand people called the Hazel Creek areas home but were moved out due to construction of the Fontana
In 1944, the Hazel Creek area also became a part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Jesse Craton Hall aka, "Creed, Crate, Craten" descended from Squire John Hall through his son Joshua. His five generation pedigree is posted to this site.
There is a Hall Cemetery on the property behind the Cabin. Jesse Craton Hall has surviving descendants. A picture of some of them is included at http://aam.wcu.edu/hogue/HazelNow.html, which is also the source of this picture of the cabin.
