Biography

William Hall was born on 24 Mar 1786 in Wilkes, Georgia to parents Edward H Hall (1758-1838) and Rachel (Barnes) Hall (abt.1759-abt.1838).[1]

Four siblings were: Ranson Hall, Sarah (Hall) Miller (abt.1793-1847), John Hall (1793-1861), and Reason Bowie Hall.[1]

Their seven children appear to be: Temperence Hall Kindle Cartright Potter Darnell, John Wesley Hall, Greenberry W Hall, Edward H Hall, Sylvia (Hall) Horn (abt.1813-abt.1890), Rachel Hall Munson, Elizabeth Hall.[1]

On 21 May 1832, William and his wife, Mary Jane Rebecca Williams, lost their lives in a savage manner during the Indian Creek Massacre in LaSalle County, Illinois. Their daughters Sylvia (Hall) Horn (abt.1813-abt.1890) and Rachel were kidnapped and later returned to Illinois after Indian "negotiations".[1]

William and his wife, Mary Jane were buried with others who lost their lives during the massacre, all memorialized at the Shabbona County Park Burials in Earlville, LaSalle, Illinois.[1]

Research Notes

In the process of adding "family" structure and then primary sources. Work in progress. Other sources need to be added to substantiate this FindaGrave secondary source.

I've added red brackets to referenced people who may need profiles of their own and/or Wiki ID linking. Please feel free to add to the bio with sources if you get to this before me.
