HALL - The remotest ancestor of this family, of whom anything definite is known, is Thomas Hall, who was descended from Scotch-Irish ancestors. There is a tradition in the family that this branch was started from a marriage between a Hall and a Spencer, one of whom was Scotch, the other Irish. Thomas Hall was born September 24, 1724, and he had two brothers, Moses, whose son Jesse was a soldier in the revolution, and David, an old sea captain. Early representatives of the Hall family settled at Snow Hill, Maryland, and in Delaware. Thomas Hall died at or near Duck Creek Cross Roads, Delaware, May 29, 1772. He married Rebecca Story, a woman of English birth, who long survived her honored husband, her death having occurred December 15, 1812.
After the death of Thomas Hall, in 1772, his widow remained with her children in Delaware until the close of the revolutionary war. In 1781, Isaac Mason, who had married the eldest child, and Jordan Hall, the third child, emigrated westward, and in the following year, 1782, the family followed to the forks of Cheat river, a few miles below Morgantown, West Virginia. Those who left Delaware, were Rebecca Hall, Asa Hall, with his wife and the latter's mother, Mrs. Margaret White, Nathan, Jordan, Rynear, Allen, and Rebecca. Children of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hall : Parthena : Asa, mentioned below : Jordan, Rynear, Nathan, Allen, Rebecca.
