Jonathan Elijah Hall8 was born February 18, 1846 in Roanoke, Lewis County, Virginia (now West Virginia). He was in the Civil War fighting on the Confederate Side. At the end of the war, he was given a blanket and told to walk home which he did [15].
On October 21, 1884, Jonathan married Florence Ann Rowland8 Wilson (b. June 11, 1853) of Poplar Flat, Lewis County, Kentucky. The wedding took place at the Bride's house at Cabin Creek, Lewis County, Kentucky (near the present Ebenezer Church). Florence had previously married Amos Wilson (b. Mar. 6, 1851, d. Oct. 12, 1882) of Cabin Creek on March 9, 1874 and there were three children from this union: Hattie Wilson (b. Dec. 27, 1875 , d. Oct. 13, 1886 of diphtheria), Myrtie Lee Wilson (b. June 5, 1878, d. April 15, 1882) and Armina Dorcas (Minnie) Wilson9 (b. May 26, 1880, Winfield, Kansas, d. Dec. 18, 1915), mother of Natalie May10 Erickson. Since another Jonathan E. Hall lived in Poplar Flat, Lewis County, Kentucky, Jonathan Elijah seems to have gone by John Elijah Hall. This new variation of his first name stuck even when he moved to Virginia.
After their wedding, John and Florence lived in Cabin Creek and John became a member of Ebenezer Presbyterian Church, Cabin Creek (several miles west of the old county seat of Poplar Flat) on December 8, 1884. John became an Elder of the church on March 14, 1886.

*1. Charles Rowland Hall9 (b. Sept. 18, 1885 KY, d. Nov. 28, 1962 Tioga, PA) m. Margaret Thornton Morrison9 June 29, 1916, and they had five children.
2. Ann Florence ("Annie") Hall9 (b. June 11, 1887, d. April 10, 1965) m. April 11, 1916, James Campbell ("Camel") Wingfield (b. Dec. 10, 1886, d. Sept. 25, 1970), no issue.
