- According to family tradition, [David Hall] the father of Isaac, Jacob, and Sena Hall drowned in the Licking River at Day's Mill near Sherburne, in Fleming Co., shortly after the family moved to Kentucky from Virginia, and his wife died soon after. The orphaned children are said to have been raised in different families. However, since there is no tradition as to whom they were raised by, yet they maintained family ties as siblings, I suspect that they were not really very young when they were orphaned, or they would have had stronger ties to their foster families than to each other. This suggests ca 1815-1820 for the death of their parents.
- Bath Co., Kentucky, Deed Book C, p. 407 contains an indenture agreement dated October 11, 1820 stating that Isaac Hall, age 17, infant orphan of David Hall was indentured to a John Smith until age 21. He was to learn the trade of a blacksmith and to be paid 3 pound, ten shilling and a decent suit of clothes. (The indenture did not necessarily occur soon after his father’s death. He might have lived with his mother for some time after his father died before being apprenticed out.) (It may be that the widow Susan Hall who married Reuben Staton in 1813 in Bath Co. is their mother, in which case she may not have died as early as the family tradition holds.)
- ELY - HALL - MARTIN. David HALL is my great, great, great, great grandfather. According to information, I have, he married in Virginia about 1795. He had one daughter, Sena, sometime between 1795-1800 probably about 1796. He also had a son, Isaac, about 1803. I think he had another son in about 1806 in Kentucky. According to data, I have he drowned in the Licking River sometime after 1806, probably before 1810. According to information, I have his wife died before he drowned. This meant that three children, Sena, Isaac and Jacob were raised by someone around the area where he drowned. (Bath or Fleming County, Kentucky).
- Isaac HALL married an Anne MARTIN, who was the daughter of George MARTIN and Jane ELY. George MARTIN married in Virginia on March 18, 1788, His first son was named Benjamin, born January 26, 1789. There was a Benjamin ELY who died in Bath County, Kentucky about 1796, this Benjamin was born in Hampshire County, Virginia in about 1757. There was a Benjamin ELY who lived in Clark County, Kentucky who purchased a large tract of land in Montgomery County and Fleming in 1805. Benjamin purchased this tract from a Richard RIKEY or RICEY. I belive that Jane ELY who married George MARTIN is related to this Benjamin and that they came to this land to live. George MARTIN received a deed from Benjamin ELY in 1818 for part of this land.
- I have searched for David HALL far and wide, I have written letters, made calls, and gone to several courthouses. I have only found two records with a David HALL in this area of Kentucky. Two tax bills in Fleming County, Kentucky. One is for 1800, and the other for 1801 (both are delinquent) and bills list reason for non payment as whereabouts unknown. I am not even sure this is the same David HALL, but I think it probably is.
- I am hoping that I can tie this whole thing together with land purchased by Benjamin ELY. I know ELY was from Hampshire County, since George MARTIN married and ELY, I think there is a connection. Since Isacc HALL married Anne MARTIN, George and Jane's daughter, I know Isacc was raised in same area as MARTIN's lived. I also think ELYs or MARTINs may have had a hand in raising HALL children. The only thing I have to go on with David HALL is the children and I am hoping ELY and MARTIN tie in. George MARTIN and Jane ELY are my grandparents and so is David. I am hoping that David HALL married in Hampshire County and this is where George MARTIN and Jane ELY married. If this is the case, I have them located and I have something to go with.
