Henry W Hall family - Hillcrest Cemetery, Marshall Co, MS.

I strongly believe that Henry W Hall is the brother of my Thomas J/G Hall. They were the sons of Robert Hillard Hall and are seen in 1860 in northern Tippah County, MS.In 1870, it appears that Robert has died and two brothers - my Thomas & Henry W - are living side by side in LaGrange, Fayette County, TN. The rest of the family (including their mother, Sarah, are living in the two households.LaGrange is just barely north of the TN state line and above present day Tippah/Benton/Marshall Counties.In 1880, Henry & Martha have moved to Marshall County, MS.
Oral history said that Thomas moved to Boone County, AR where he died.His only child, William Edgar Hall, is back in Alcorn County, MS by 1900 and I am now researching for Will's descendants.
I have found a good deal of information by now and just today went to the Hillcrest/HillCrest Cemetery in Holly Springs, MS.It was an honor to look upon he and Martha's stones. I had seen them on Find A Grave and we owe a great debt to Michelle Woodham.
All the siblings in Henry & Thomas household back in 1870 scattered to the wind and I have been unable to track them - especially the males.There may be one line on one of the girls, which I have not followed up on yet.
If anyone has any interest in any of this family, I would be happy to share and hope someone can help expand the information on the family.
