John M. HALL
Note: See notes under George B Hall, son of William M Hall to see how his trail lead to the below conclusions. Data leading to believe that Barnabas, George and William are sons of John and Elinor -1860 or Eleanor-1850 or Elenor-IGI. In the 1860 census George B (Sr) was living next to Barnabas. Decided they may be brothers. Listed on the 1870 census, William named four of his sons John A, Barnabas, George B and William. Barnabas named his sons John A and William M. In the 1880 census Barnabas, son of William, was living with Amanda and family and listed as a nephew - age 22. In the 1880 census George, son of William, was living with Dorcas and family and listed as a nephew - age 19. Also living there was a sister-in-law and mother-in-law both named Ann. [???Check to see where they fit?] John M had twins named Amanda and Dorcas listed on the 1850 and 1860 census. See the 1850 census. John M Hall had listed George as his son. Barnabas and William were married before 1850. These facts fit into place to make this a family. There is a problem. George B (Sr.) died and his brother, William married his widow. It is not known yet how many children she brought [if any] into the marriage with William. It is possible thatGeorge (Sr) may be the father of William, George B, and Judge. They have been listed under William at this time. Birth and marriage records need to be found and also death records of both wives. (by S.

William's first wife apparently died between the 1860 and 1870 census as did his brother, George B Hall. He then married his brother's widow. At this time it is not known how many children each wife had. In the 1860 census there were only four children listed born to William and Margaret. George and Sarah only had listed the two children that Sarah had by a previous marriage. I am listing all the children except Charles with Margaret as on the 1880 census it stated that the children's mother was from North Caroline where Margaret was born. Sarah was born in Georgia. However, it is confussing on Charles. He was not listed on the 1870 census with the family but on the 1880 census he was listed as age 11 and his mother from NC. There is a question on his age. Is he the son of Sarah or Margaret's?. I have listed him as Sarah's due to the age factor. Birth records are needed before any sealings can be done. 1850 census, 26 Dec, Dist. 26, Cherokee, Alabama.

1860 census. George was living next to a brother, Barnabas. The children listed on this census under George's name must have been his wife's children from a previous marriage. Her father-in-law was also living with them by the name of William Nickson. George must have died between 1860 and 1870 as he was not listed on another census. His widow, Sarah F was married to his brother, William, on the 1870 census. William's wife, Margaret, apparently had died also. It is not known if some of the children listed on the 1870 census are George or Williams. I have kept those in doubt listed with William at this time. [1-21-07 sS J] 1850 census listed with father.

There is a James J Hall listed in the IGI with parents as John Hall and Martha. HIs birthplace is Elba, Coffee, Alabama. It also has a death date of 27 Mar 1911. All ordinances are completed. I do not think this is the same person as he is listed with a different mother on the census.
