Hall-Story Ancestors

My Hall-Story Ancestors

Sadly, I have no pictures of my
Hall-Story Ancestors

This is an outstanding resource for Hall-Story ancestors:

Hall Ancestors

"Father used to say that two families, one of Halls and one of Spencers,

came from Ireland and settled at Snow Hill, Maryland,

from whom the Halls descended. According to that we are Irish

and not Dutch as you have it.

I give you the marriages and deaths on another page of father's family."

JAMES HALL

Browntown, Harrison Co., W. VA., Aug., 20, 1884

One line of the beginnings of my family was

Thomas Hall, son of John or Robert Hall,

born September 24, 1724 in Kent County?, Delaware,

who died at or near Duck Creek Crossroads, Delaware.

In 1756 in Delaware, Thomas married Rebecca Story who

was born June 10, 1730 in an area near Carlisle, England,

near the Scottish/English border.

Thomas and Rebecca had seven children:

Asa, Jordan, Rebecca, Rynear and Nathan, 2 others died??

When Thomas died May 29, in 1772 he left behind at that time,

his wife and five children.

Some years later after the Revolutionary war, Rebecca rode

by horseback (it was said that she rode side-saddle the entire way)

along the Braddock Trail, from Kent County, Delaware,

first to near the Cheat River, then later settling on a farm

further west, closer to or along the beautiful Monongahela River,

near what is now Morgantown, West Virginia,

to start a new life with her children.

Morgantown was an area with many Scottish Presbyterians???

My ancestors are from their son Jordan Hall,

who was born June 15, 1760

and died June 2, 1835.

Jordan Hall married Nancy Neal

and their daughter Rebecca Hall born June 23, 1786,

married Joseph W. ?? Brummage born ??October 9 1781,

??on November 27, 1804.

Mary Elizabeth Brummage who married John Nugent,

was said to have Native blood, possibly Choctaw.

John Nugent was born in 1815 Kentucky and had 11 siblings.

John married Mary Elizabeth Brummage whose family

came to Indiana from Morgantown, West Virginia.

Elizabeth was born in 1824 in Fayette, which

later became Union County, Indiana.

(This is in East-Central Indiana, near I-70 and the Ohio state line)

They were married July 21, 1842, in Union County, Indiana.

I am continuing to work on this line...
