Person:Milly Unknown (15)

Parents

• Note of Caution: The parents of Milly Hall are UNKNOWN at this time.
• Many published and online trees claim that Milly's maiden name is GARRETT and appear to claim that this is proven, because Milly named her first known son Garrett Hall. However, that is not enough proof. Milly and Edward Hall also had a brother in law named Garrett Townsend who married Edward's sister, Elizabeth Hall, a few years before their son Garrett was born (1792). It is possible that son Garrett Hall was actually named after his uncle Garrett Townsend. More research is needed before the maiden name GARRETT can be assigned to Mrs. Milly Hall.

Spouses

• Spouse 1 = Edward Hall
  • Source: 1843 Deposition of Milly Hall³ in which Milly testifies that she was married to Edward Hall on 9 Jun 1786 in Fayette County which was in Virginia at the time.
