Possible additional relations

• Robert Hall, b. abt 1836 in Indiana. Robert appears in the 1850 census, living with son Thomas Hall and his family. He does not appear in any of the above brother's households after 1850 and he was not mentioned as a brother in the biographical sketch of Geo W. Hall which named the other brothers. His relationship is unknown. There are several Decatur county marriage records which may be a match to him. See his person page for more info.
  • Note: If James Hall died in 1832, this Robert (b 1836) could not have been his child. So - who is he and what is his connection? Is he a cousin? More research needed.
