Fifth Generation

=====================

 

46. Randol HALL. Son of Anthony HALL & Mary HEPPLE. Born in Kirkhill, Northumberland, England. Christen 9 Jun 1748 in Hartburn, Northumberland, England.

 

He married Ann PATTERSON   (Possible Only, 25 Oct 1777.

 

47. Thomas HALL. Son of Anthony HALL & Mary HEPPLE. Born 5 May 1750 in Kirkhill, Northumberland, England.

 

48. Anthony HALL. Son of Anthony HALL & Mary HEPPLE. Born 1752. Christen 11 Mar 1752 in Hartburn, Northumberland, England. Died 14 Dec 1846 in Deane, (Rockhouse)  Letcher Co., Kentucky, USA.

 

Notes for Anthony Hall:

Anthony Hall was born on March 7, 1752, in Hartburn, Northumberland, England, a son of Anthony Hall, and Mary Heppell. He died of a fever on December 14, 1846, at Deane, Letcher County, Kentucky. A military grave marker was recently erected at his grave, which is located adjacent to the Riley Bentley Cemetery, on Kentucky Route 7, about 2 miles south of the Deane post office. 

 

Edward Polley, who testified on behalf of Hall's application for pension in 1825, stated that he had known Hall before the war. Polley stated that he, himself was born in Pittsylvania County. Hall's statements in support of his application do not establish his birthplace or residence before 1777. Tax lists of Virginia for 1783 do not include his name. John Hall a pensioner who lived in Floyd and Perry Counties in Kentucky at the same time that Anthony Hall lived there, lists his origin as Pittsylvania County Virginia. John Hall was five years Anthony's junior.

The first definitive statement of Anthony's whereabouts lists his enlistment in the 7th Virginia Continental Line unit commanded by Colonel William Campbell and a Captain Bowyers. Hall enlisted at Halifax County Virginia on June 10, 1777 for the term of one year. He stayed with that outfit and was reportedly discharged while in Caswell County North Carolina on June 9, 1778. He enlisted immediately for a term of three years in a unit commanded by Lt. Colonel Archibald Lytle and Captain John Donoho. Hall remembers this as the 2nd Regiment N.C. Continental Line. The records of muster rolls and a major source on the troops of North Carolina list Lytle as a Militia Colonel in 1778 assigned to the Hillsborough District. At about that time Colonel Lytle indeed raised a regiment in Caswell county and later the militia were called to continental line duty. I could not find Anthony Hall's name of any list of North Carolina units or in the list of Lytle's Caswell County levies. Hall stated that he stayed in this regiment until it was surrendered along with the remainder of the southern troops at Charleston, South Carolina on May 10, 1780. He further states that he was neither exchanged or paroled until the end of the war. Other sources indicate that the remaining prisoners, those who did not die, were exchanged for other prisoners or those paroled (militia were sent home on a gentleman's agreement not to fight again in the war), were released upon repeated negotiations by General Nathaniel Greene. These remaining prisoners were reportedly freed at Jamestown, Virginia on June 10, 1781.

In the application for pension of Edward Polly in Perry County Kentucky Circuit Court Anthony Hall stated that he "knows of Edward Polly performing a tour of eighteen months in the regular army on the line of the continental establishment under the command of General Nathaniel Greene, that he himself was a regular solder in said army and knew said Polly previous to his enlistment and during his own term of service. It is the same Edward Polly who has this day filed his declaration in writing for a pension in this court."...November 19, 1825. A friend, Edward Polly died on May 19, 1845 while a resident of Letcher County, Kentucky. He left a widow, Mary (Polly) Mullins Polly and eleven children; viz., Sally, Andrew, Polly, Agnes, Raney, Joseph, Edward, Vina, Nancy, Susannah and David.

A second witness for Anthony Hall was "Silas Wooten", who said that he was "well acquainted with Anthony Hall as a revolutionary war soldier. I do swear that the said Anthony Hall and myself both enlisted in the same company which was commanded by Captain Bowyer in the 7th Virginia Regiment commanded by Colonel Campbell in Virginia line on Continental Establishment, that we both enlisted for the term of one year, that I do know that the said Anthony Hall did serve out his full term of enlistment and was honorably discharged at Caswell County in the state of North Carolina after serving out his full term of enlistment which was one year under the same enlistment , that I do know that the said Anthony Hall did then immediately enlist again into the service of the United States in Colonel Lytle's 2nd North Carolina Regiment in a company commanded by a Captain Donoho for the term of three years and I do know that the said Hall did serve in said regiment until the seige at Charlestown in South Carolina and I know that the said Anthony Hall was then taken a prisoner of war by the British and was afterwards (not) parolled by them and was not exchanged until peace was made."...November 16, 1825 Perry County Kentucky

Silas Wooten was supported in his application for pension by Anthony Hall and Thomas Lovelady. Lovelady stated that "Wooten enlisted in Halifax County Virginia under Captain Bowyers and Colonel Campbell ,that ...Wooten served out his full term of enlistment and that he served about two or three months longer and that the said Wooten was in the Battle at Guilford in March,1781. Wooten stated that he enlisted in January, 1780. That he served honorably through the Battle of Guilford Courthouse and was discharged by Colonel Campbell on April 1, 1781 in Caswell County North Carolina. Silas listed his occupation as schoolteacher.

The 1790 North Carolina Census reports only one person named Anthony Hall living in the State. He resided in Montgomery County and had no other people in the house. A marriage bond, entered in Caswell County, North Carolina, for a marriage between an Anthony Hall and Winney Harrell is listed in the Latter Day Saints IGI as having occurred in 1793. This person was likely to have been the same Anthony Hall who lived in Montgomery County in 1790, although I have no proof. I have not yet contacted Caswell County to see if a return was sent from a minister, which would indicate that a marriage took place. I have found no record of children of this marriage. The pension record of my ancestor doesn't include any information about this marriage.

My next record of Anthony Hall shows that he and Richard Hall entered into a marriage bond on December 23, 1794 in Caswell County, North Carolina. Surety was given to the then Governor Richard D. Sleight for 500 pounds condition on to marriage with Ruthy Butler. They were married by the Reverend Nathan Holliday at the home of George Butler, the father of Ruth. Nathan was a Baptist minister. Ruth and Anthony had "as many as three children born prior to the year 1800." According to census records these three children, William, James and David Hall were born in Virginia. The three other children listed in the pension files were born in Kentucky; viz., Alexander b. 1808, John, b. 1810 and Samuel b. 1812.

Sometime between 1800 and 1808 Anthony and Ruth Hall moved through Southwestern Virginia, through Pound Gap and into Knox County, Kentucky. Anthony was listed as one of the early settlers of Knox County. By 1816 whether by county line changes of slight movement north and eastward, Anthony was living in Floyd County, Kentucky. He applied for pension as a revolutionary war veteran on May 18, 1818 in Floyd County. He was unsuccessful "for want of proof of service." He reported that his assets consisted of "one old mare, worth $30 and one cow and calf, worth $10." He reported his occupation as that of a farmer, but "from age and infirmity" he was unable to pursue it.

According the Floyd County Court books, his son William Hall posted bond along with Patrick Johnson on June 24, 1816 for a marriage to occur shortly between William Hall and Margaret Johnson. The marriage occurred on July 4, 1816. Court book three, page 186, indicated the "Anthony Hall is appointed Surveyor of the road from Rockhouse ( Fork of the Kentucky River) into the road above Patrick Johnson's." This places Anthony Hall as a neightbor to Patrick Johnson at the junction of what are now Knott, Perry and Letcher Counties.

Anthony applied for pension while a resident of Perry County, Kentucky on November 16, 1825. As was stated he was supported in his application by "silas Wooton" and Edward Polly . His application was approved as of December 14, 1825 and payment of $8 per month was ordered in arrears to November 17, 1825. Anthony Hall was listed on the 1830 Perry County, Kentucky census as being 70-80 years old. Ruth was 50-60 years old. One male child, listed as 10-15 years old was still living at home. This child may have been Samuel or Everett Hall, who was next door to Anthony in the 1840 census of Floyd County, Kentucky and was 20-30 years old.

Interestingly, three houses away from Anthony lived Elias Mitchel (age 24-36), his wife (age 24-36) and 3 male children, one of the few "free colored persons" in Floyd County in the 1840 census. Letcher County was formed in 1842 and this apparently divided some of the family and put them in different counties. Anthony died at his home in Letcher County on December 14, 1846.

Ruth continued to live in Letcher County and was listed in the 1850 census at the home (#73) of John W. Hall (b. 1808), her son. Ruth stated her age at that time as 86 years. At the next house (#74) lived Alexander Hall (b. 1811) and his wife Susanna Morgan Hall. This was also Ruth's son. James Hall and his wife Sarah Johnson (daughter of Patrick Johnson) lived three residences (#70) away. My great great grandfather lived two houses (#71) from Ruth Hall in this census.

Ruth applied for bounty land in 1855 under a new congressional act which further loosened requirements. She received bounty land warrant #26425, which was issued on May 23, 1856. This warrant was for 160 acres. I do not know whether this warrant was sold or was used by the family to patent land. Ruth died some time before 1860

 

Anthony Hall served in the Revolutionary War,enlisted in the 7th Virginia Continental Line, Commanded by Colonel William Campbell and Captain Bowyers. Anthony enlisted on 10 June, 1777 in Halifax Co., Virginia for a term of one year.He was discharged on 9 June, 1778, in Caswell Co., North Carolina. He again enlisted for a term of three years under Lieutenant Colonel Archibald Lytle and Capt. John Donoho. He was in the 2nd Regular North Carolina Continental Line. He was taken prisoner in the seige of Charleston, South Carolina on the 10 May, 1780. He remained a prisoner of the British until the end of the war.

114. Jane HEPPLE. Daughter of John HEPPLE & Jane KEMP. Born 1836 in Pelton Fell Nr. Chester-le-Street, Durham. U.K. Christen 28 Aug 1836 in Chester Le Street, Co. Durham. U.K. Died 18 Nov 1880 in Wallsend, N.S.W. (Inutero Pyremia). Buried 19 Nov 1880 in Wallsend, N.S.W. Occupation Home Duties. Residence Wallsend, N.S.W. Comments Arr. Sydney, 8/4/1862, Aboard "Annie Wilson".

 

Pelton Fell is listed as a populous Colliery Village located 2 miles NW of Chester-le-Street.

 

When Jane emigrated to Australia on the "Annie Wilson" she was also accompanied by William Hepple, his wife Mary Ann and child Susan aged 1 year. William's age was listed on the passenger list as 22 years, this is the same age as Jane's brother. I feel that it would be reasonable to assume that the William listed was Jane's brother.

 

She married Thomas HENDERSON, son of Jane HENDERSON, 27 Feb 1857 in St. Giles Church, Giles Gate Moor, Durham. U.K. Born 1829 in Lazonby, Cumberland, U.K. Christen 28 Jul 1829 in Lazonby, Cumberland, U.K. Died 10 Nov 1900 in Wallsend N.S.W. Buried 11 Nov 1900 in Primitive Methodist Cem. Wallsend. Occupation Labourer, Platelayer, Pointsman, Florist. Residence Wallsend N.S.W. Comments  Arr. 1858/61?.

 

There is no proof that this Thomas HENDERSON is the Thomas listed as son of Jane. It just happens that Thomas was born in the right place at approximately the right time. Lazonby does not appear to have many Hendersons.

 

It appears that Thomas came to Australia earlier than his wife Jane as he is not listed on the passenger list of the "Annie Wilson" In fact I can find no mention of Thomas Henderson in the N.S.W. Immigrant Lists, I therefore assume that he may have travelled in steerage class, as these passengers were sometimes not on the passenger list.

Dept. of KY. and East Tenn.

 

I would respectfully ask permission to visit my home in North Eastern KY. for the following reasons. The enemy who made a recent raid on this part of the country on returning paid my family a visit and literally distroyed anything the had accumalated to live upon for the winter, I am a poor man and no one left at my home except my wife + some little children who are not large enough to aid or assist her. She is destitute of means by which she might procure something to live upon. The enemy not only distroyed grain, but took nearly all my household. I can by returning afford them clothing and when I get home can procure supplies-- I will rejoin my command within (30) thirty days. I live at Floyd County KY. a distance of about (30) thirty miles.

 

Hoping that the leave I ask may be granted.

 

I am your most Obedient Servant

Dad told me that Elick always wore a stove pipe hat and he always used a cane when grandpa Jim knew him. Dad's favorite story about Elick was about a wagon ride on which Jim took Elick. Jim drove under a tree with some low hanging branches which knocked off Elick's hat. In a quite gruff and irritated manner, Elick said to Jim, "have Floyd bring his axe and cut that damned tree down!"

 

Dad said that Grandpa told him that Elick had "gotten a woman in trouble in Letcher County in the 1850s and she had a son who looked so much like Floyd Dee Hall that people could hardly tell them apart. It was said that Elick had to pay some money to the woman by court order. The 1870 census of Letcher County listed a boy age 16, named William Holland living at the house of James Hall, Elick's father. I wonder if this is the child of Elick Hall.

 

According to Shirley Thompson Westerlund, there is a Hall family cemetery on Rockhouse Creek near Black Mountain, Kentucky where many of the old Halls are buried, including James Hall. There are apparently still grave markers present.

 

On July 7, 1998 I received an e-mail response to my web site from a lady in search of her ancestor's biological father. Her story was the her ancestor, William Riley Bentley was born and raised in Letcher County Kentucky. William Riley was born in 1854 and died in 1953. He was raised by James Quiller Bentley, who had married his mother Lucinda Farrell in ?1868. It was known by later generations that James Bentley was not WRB's biological father. People in the family thought that his father was an Anthony Hall. The parentage was a well kept family secret. I sent my information along with a copy of a photo of GGpa Floyd to show her relatives. I think confirmation of this man's relation may be made by searching the Letcher County court records for a judgment against Elick. The fact that James Bentley was Elick's next door neighbor in 1870 Letcher County Census makes me think that Elick gave some land as a part of the judgment.

 

He married Clarinda MARTIN, About 1845 in Letcher Co.,Kentucky, USA. Born 1829.
