According to the 1850 census, he was born about 1800 in North Carolina. Neighbors included the Hiatt family. James married Rachel Moorman in 1833. Their children were Deletha, Enos, Jesse, David, Betsy and William born between 1834 and 1846, presumably in Grant County. I've been searching for many years for the names of his parents.
Every lead turns out to be a dead end.
He does not appear to be closely related to any other Hall in Grant County, Indiana. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. All rights reserved.
