Micajah Merriman Hall, Son of Joshua Jr.

Apr 14, 2004
Linda,

Been trying to reach you but am having e-mail problems. I located that "dreaded", Merriman Hall and his "disappearing" family. You will find them in Arkansas in 1860. Benton County. They must have decided to take the scenic route to Missouri!

I've also concluded that the alias, "Giett/Hiett Hall", was a son of Merriman Hall and Caroline Hyde. Jesse "Hyatt" Hall died in Macon County, MO sometime after 1870.

Error in William M. Hall family.

Donald Godfrey - Jul 28, 2003
Thanks to Glady Smith's sharp eye an error was found in the deaths of W. M. Hall's (2?)wives.
I had him with 2 wives and it look like he only had one and the other one in the cemetery book as w/o W. M. Hall was most likely his mother. Probably an error in the book.
I will check further when I get to NC for the Godfrey reunion next June.
Thanks Gladys.
Don

Sellers

- Sep 4, 2003
Can anyone provide the orgins of the Sellers family? Or at least the projected theory. I seem to have ran into all kinds of Sellers in Baltimore County, MD. Many of them were presiding justices. Example: Thomas Sellers, Sabrit Sellers. These justices served with John Hall and are listed in the Prerogative Court Records of Baltimore County.

Thanks,
Danna
