Notes |
- Note that there are several different Edward Halls. These three were born in the 18th century:
1) son of Rev. Henry Hall and wife Mary Duvall, b. 1714. (I4295).
2) son of Maj. Henry Hall and wife Elizabeth Lansdale, b. 1735 (this one, I3960)
3) son of Edward Hall and Sophia Welsh (I7986)
A. Warfield (pub 1905) just gives this: "The issue of Major Henry Hall by his second wife Elizabeth Lansdale, were: First. Edward—Martha Duckett. Issue, Eleanor W.[,] Priscilla, Henrietta, Richard, Captain John, and Thomas" (99).
[Second, Isaac; Third, Margaret; Fourth, William]
This is Edward who was b. 1735
B. Hall gives this (pub 1941, p159): "Issue of Edward Hall, born May, 1714, married Martha Duckett, 1738. Died 1744:
—Edward Hall, married Mary Sprigg;
—John Hall, married Achsah Marriott, daughter Augustine Marriott.
—Jane Hall
—Sarah Hall, married Edward Yeahall"
The will of Edward Hall, composed 1743, is printed in Hall on p100, naming him the 4th son of Rev. Henry Hall; these four chiildren are named in the will. No wife's name is not mentioned in the will. Jane and Sarah are as yet unmarried.
C. In Whitley (pub 1947, p12): Martha Duckett, twin of Rachel: b. 8-14-1716; m. 1 Rignal Odell; m. 2 Edward Hall.
D. Generic "Marriage records" on Ancestry say that Martha Duckett b. 1716 married Reginal Odell in 1754, but where this is from is not clear. That would be awfully late for a first marriage, if this is to match Whitley.
E. In Newman MDoMP says that Edward Hall never married Martha Duckett. Edward Hall b. 1714 married Mary Belt, not Martha Duckett: "Thomas John Hall in his book p. 159 erroneously states that Edward Hall married Martha Duckett and gives a list of Halls who are in no manner descended from the Rev. Mr. Hall. The above document proves definitely that anne became the sole heiress" (402 n.).
"This document" is a convenyance by Ann Hall daughter of Edward of property "originally called Parrott's Thickett but was afterwards resurveeyed and called Parrott's Manor lying and being in Prince George's County on the West side of the Patuxent River containing 300 acres Devised in Tail by the last will and testament of Henry Hall late of St. James' Parish, Clerk, in Anne Arundel County unto his sone Edward Hall Reference being had unto said Will which said land has by descent become the right and property of the said Anne Griffith the daughter and only child of the said Edward Hall" (402). In his will the Rev. Henry Hall had left "Parrott's Manor" to his son Edward (Hall, p98; transcribed as "Panot's Manor").
F. Doliante (pub 1991, p143) says that Martha Duckett b. Mar. 17, 173_[8 or 9?]; living 1785, married as her second husband June 14, 1764, Q.A.'s Parish, Edward Hall, said to have been son of Henry and Elizabeth (Lansdale) Hall. Doliante doesn't give evidence for this, though.
I go here with option E., Newman, who provides the fullest account of the family, and directly addresses the difference between his account and Hall's. [5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
