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.
