Susanna Hall, wife of John Hall Jr.

Linda Cushing - Nov 2, 2006

Folks, I wanted to tell you that there were 2 John Halls in Dickson Co., TN and their wives were named Susanna. The 2nd John married Susanna Yarnell. So, there would be one Susanna Hall left in TN, while the other one went to Greene Co. AL. I do believe the lady and boy that is living with Joseph in 1830 is Wesley and his mother. Joseph White Hall was in Alabama as early as 1816.( he was 19+ years old) I found the Clarke Co. AL tax List Index Database 1810-1819 MS Territorial Census (Jackson, Ron V., Accelerated Indexing Systems, compiler, AL Census 1810-1819(Data-online) Provo, UT: 1999) Original data: Schedules of U.S. Decennial Census Territorial Census. I am sure that Clarke County is where he met Alvira Pugh ( her father a big landholder in Clarke Co. in Mississippi Territory, which later became AL) Joseph White Hall married Alvira 27 April 1819 at her father's home. About the other question, The Lusk data went back to a Bible that was found by a minister in the state of Washington that discovered the source in Columbia, Missouri. He said that the dates of the Joseph White Family(children too) was in the Bible. Idid not see the Bible myself but took his word for it. It would really be something to find a grave for Susanna Hall.

Linda,
I went back and checked the White and Lusk files and it appears they all have exact birth dates for all of Joseph and Martha Lusk White's children. Now, they couldn't have that except from a family bible.
This is something we need to find and get copies of the names and dates pages.
Do you have an address for this minister in Washington?

Don, When I first got the info, I shot a letter off to Paul E. Welsh. It came back unopened saying the man had passed away. (I wish I kept the address) He had found it in Columbia, Missouri in the home of an elderly woman. I received the info from a researcher of Hall's- Mary Fudge Hall in Memphis, TN. She mentioned Mr. Welsh said that the Bible was dated 1751 in Belfast, Ireland. In a letter addressed to me years ago she said" The info concerning the Joseph White Bible came to me from Mrs. Richard G. Francis, 432 Vonda Drive, Sulphur Springs, TX, dated Oct 1982. That is the extent of my knowledge. I'm sorry I can't be of anymore help on the White Bible. Linda

I guess it depends on how well up to date their records are. I think I will use some of my cell phone minutes trying to contact her - unless you want to.
