-----From PORTRAIT and BIOGRAPHICAL ALBUM of NEWAYGO COUNTY, MICHIGAN
Chicago: Chapman Brothers 1884 (state library)
Pg 287 Jotham J Hall, farmer and lumberman, section 25, Goodwell Township, was born July 25, 1842, in Grand Rapids. His father, Jotham Hall, was born in Vermont in 1803 and died in Big Prairie, in 1861. Diantha (Garrett) Hall was born in 1807 in the State of
New York and survives her husband.
Mr. Hall came with his father's family from Kent to Newaygo County in 1853. He was 20 years of age when his father died and remained on the home farm until he attained his majority...became legally free to pursue his own interests...engaged in lumbering... united his business interests with those of his brother-in-law, Joseph Graham... five years... Mr Hall eventually sold his landed interest to Mr. Graham and bought 40 acres in Newaygo and 80 acres in Mecosta Counties. The two bodies of land are adjoining and about 30 acres are under improvements. In political relations Mr. Hall is a Republican, has been Justice of the Peace and held other minor offices.
He was married Oct 3, 1872, to Emma, daughter of William and Permelia (Hancock) Jay.... Mr and Mrs Hall have five children, viz." Florence I, Antoinette, Ambrose L, Bessie May and Rebina.
pg 324 William Jay, farmer, section 24, Goodwell Township, was born March 24, 1817, at Binghamton, NY. His father, Peter Jay, was born in the State of New York some time about the year 1782. He was of English parentage and died in 1840. The mother, Ruth (Hall) Jay, was born near the year 1784, in Masschusetts, and died in 1838.
Mr Jay went away from home as his "own man" when 17 years old. He went to Missouri and passed four years in that State and in Fort Leavenworth, in (then) Kansas Territory. He was in the employment of the United States Government, and worked as an assistant in getting out and preparing the timber to build the fort. In 1838 he came to Michigan and joined his brother in Oakland County, where he remained until the fall of 1839. In that year he went to Ohio, where he was married, in February, 1841, to Permelia Hancock. She was the daughter of Abner and Miranda (White) Hancock, both of whom were born in Vermont, respectively in 1798 and 1796. They were of English
parentage and died in 1856 and 1880. Mrs. Jay died April 6, 1879, leaving five children, all of whom yet survive, namely: Delia Ann, Amelia A, Ruth A, Frank and Emma.
Mr. Jay remained a resident of the Buckeye State until February, 1852, when he sought the land of golden promis on the Pacific slope, leaving his family in Ohio. He followed mining in California until the life of the Nation was put in peril through the imbecility and
headlong reclessness of the South. He enlisted in 1861, in Co A, Second Cal. Vol. Cav., for three years. He was in the service under that enrollment the three years, and was discharged at Camp Douglas, near Salt Lake City, Utah. He returned to Ohio and re-enlisted in Co. F, United States Cavalry, regular service, for three years.
He was discharged at Fort Laramie in 1868, came back to Ohio, and in company with his family proceeded to Mecosta County. Two years later he came to Newaygo County and secured a claim of 80 acres of land under the Homestead Act, where he has since expended his labor and time to the best possible advantage, having placed 40 acres of land under improvement and advanced culture, with fair farm buildings. Mr. Jay is a Republican in political affinity.
He was a second time married Feb 8, 1882, to Sarah P Ehle. She was born in Oswego, NY, Aug 5, 1825. Her father, Adam Ehle, was born near the Mohawk River, and was quite a young lad while the war of the Revolution was in progress. He was German in national descent, and died near the year 1863. The mother, Mary (Sternberg) Ehle, was born in nearly the same period as her husband, and died about 12 years since.
