1568. Family of Halls in Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica, for instance: 'Will of John Hall, 1522; Thomas, 1562; George, 1598; John, 1617'; Daniel, 1623; Thomas, 1634; Humfrey, 1641; Thomas, 1643; John, 1644; John, 1644, and very many items, terribly long documents most of them, with pedigrees of the seventeenth century and earlier. I couldn't be hired to copy them; it would take weeks. It only shows that the name of Hall was then influential and numerous; an endless subject.

I refer you to the work of Mr. Watters in the New England Genealogical Register. He may in time help your case, though he has not yet.

DUANESBURGH, N. Y., Sept. 8, 1884.

I am sorry that I am not able to trace the connection between the family of Thomas Hall, of Delaware, or Maryland, and those contained in my book, although such a connection may exist. Have you any intimation that Thomas Hall, born in 1724, was an emigrant, or do you think that he might have been born in America? I should be pleased to receive any additional information concerning him or his posterity.

Extract from letter of Thomas C. Hall.

OMAHA, NEB., Sept. 8, 1885.

I am a born Irishman. County Armagh has been my family county for at least four generations. Tradition says Scotland was our original home.
