Person:Henry Hall (78)

Research Notes

• cos1776 Note: 3 marriage records for Henry Hall are cited², because something is fishy with Warfield's claim ¹ that it was the Rev. Henry Hall who m Mary Duvall. The marriage records indicate that the Henry Hall who married her was a "clerk", which seems an odd way to describe a pastor who has traveled from England to oversee the parish. Warfield may be mistaken. More research is needed.
