In 1751 In Gloucester Co., Va., a John and Mary Hall sold 125 acres to Charles Thruston. Later, in a list of tax payers in 1770, a John Hall was shown to own 125 acres! There is another John Hall there in 1770 owning 385 acres. Neither of these 2 John Halls are shown in 1780. Do you know anything about either of these two John Halls? A third John Hall in 1770 was shown as being overseer of Capt. Whiting. And I believe the John Hall who died in 1763 in his will remarked on his "good friend" Thomas Whiting. Are you familiar with this John Hall? I believe if memory isn't clouded, these men lived in Ware Parish.
I desperately need to determine which John Hall is the father of Benjamin. Any and all help greatly appreciated. Grace Hall Upshaw
