Person:Margaret Hall (64)

Notes

• not 100% sure she is a d/o Thomas Hall, but there is enough circumstantial evidence to suggest that she is
• it appears that her mother Rebecca died when Margaret was young so Margaret was either working for or being raised by the Vandosens when she was 12 years old
• she married Henry Campbell in Sep 1858 in LaPorte, IN which is unusual, since they were both from Decatur, but Henry had a son James born in LaPorte in May 1858, so either he had a first wife who died before Sep or Margaret may have given birth before they were married
