... During his residence in Augusta, he [Archibald Stuart] acquired large landed estates, which, either in his lifetime or by his will, he divided among his four children. His will was admitted to record on Nov. 17th, 1761. ...
... To his daughter ELEANOR, who intermarried with Edward Hall, the son of an Irish immigrant, who will be more fully noticed hereafter, he gave a tract of land on South River, adjacent to the land which E. Hall then owned, and also aided Mr. Hall in building an addition to his house. This addition was of neatly hewn logs, and although largely over a hundred years old, (about 130) is still standing and occupied by Mr. Clinton Hall, one of the descendants of Edward Hall and Eleanor Stuart. The Hall land is situated on both sides of South River, about five miles above Waynesborough, and is the same on which Dr. Isaac Hall lived and recently died.
... Eleanor Stuart, daughter of Archibald Stuart, married Ed. Hall, who migrated, at an early day, from Armagh county, Ireland, and came to Virginia in 1736. The name of Edward Hall's father was Isaac. His mother's maiden name was Sarah Allison.
Edward Hall and Eleanor Stuart, his wife, had six sons, viz: Isaac, Archibald, Thomas, Alexander, Benjamin, John, and four daughters, Sally, Elizabeth, Eleanor and Janet. ...
