William Hall was probably born in the early 1700s in Virginia.

William died in 1799 in Laurens County, South Carolina.  His will was written on 27 May 1799 and recorded in the County records but the recording and proving date was not recorded. In his will he says he is "very sick and weak in body".  [Will transcript] [Will] [Appraisal]

William Hall's Y-DNA Haplogroup is R-CTS241 [subclade of R-M269].
Census Records:

1785 VA, Mecklenburg Co., tax roll

Wife  &
children:

William's first wife was evidently Frances ______ (per 1785 deed) and his second wife was Mary ______ (per 1799 will).
17 ● Abraham "Abram" Hall was born before 1770 (est.) in Virginia.  His estimated age is calculated by the fact he was the head of a household in 1790 with two females probably his wife and a daughter. 
  • Hall
 
1775 ● Henry Hall was born about 1771-1775 in Virginia.  He married Zekiah _____.  They moved to St. Clair County, Alabama.  Henry died after 1840 and before 1850.
  • Edmond Greenberry Hall was born about 1800-1810 probably in Laurens County, South Carolina.
  • Berilla Hall was born 1813 probably in Laurens County, South Carolina.
  • possible more children
 
1774 ● William Hall (Jr) was born about 1774 in Virginia.  William married Nancy South but it's possible he was previously married.  Nancy died after 1844 in SC or GA. Recent research finds a William Hall (born 1774) living in Cass [Bartow] County, Georgia in 1850 living with Reuben and Frances Hall Carter. The association of these three reflects that William and Frances are probably two children of the William Hall (sr) that died in 1799 in Laurens County, South Carolina. It's possible William Hall and Nancy South had more children than the two listed given the large age gap. The two listed are only known from the will of their grandfather William South. The death record of William James Hall lists his mother as "Miss South". 
  • Martha "Patsy" Hall was born about 1816 in Laurens County, South Carolina.  She married David Roberson in the 1830s.  Martha died after 1850 probably in Cass (Bartow) County, Georgia.
  • William James Hall was born 1 Feb 1834 in Laurens County, South Carolina.  He married Julia Ann Virginia Lumpkin on 1 April 1866.  William died 16 June 1919 in Rome, Floyd County, Georgia.

Jonathan McDow's daughter Florence McDow Reece (1858-1933) is buried in Myrtle Hill cemetery, Rome, Floyd County, Georgia.

1860 Census
William James Hall was probably in the section of Cass [Bartow] County that is missing or was never recorded.  See next.

1860-07-25 "The Cassville Standard" newspaper:

"Notice. Lost or stolen from my note book, two promissory notes, one of said notes given by E. K. Winnett for one hundred dollars, dated about the 1st or 3d of November, 1859, and made payable to David Roberson or bearer, and due 23th December, 1860, with interest from date; the other note on Charrity Sorrels for sixty dollars, dated the same time of the other note, made payable to David Roberson, and due 23th December, 1860, bearing interest from date. As I hare not traded said notes to any person, I forewarn all persons from trading for them, and also forewarn the maker of said notes from paying them to any person except myself. JONATHAN McDOW.  June 27." 

[This notice ties Jonathan McDow with David Roberson and verifies that the William Hall living with Jonathna McDow in 1850 is indeed our William James Hall.]
