Father

 

 William James Hall was born 1 Feb 1834 in Laurens County, South Carolina.  William James Hall was the son of William Hall (s/o William Hall) and Nancy South.  In the 1840s William James Hall moved to Cass (Bartow) County, Georgia with relatives.  In 1855 after his 21st birthday he received $250 from the estate of his grandfather William South (died 1844).  

William served in the Civil War in Company G ("Fireside Defenders") of the 22nd Georgia Regiment. William was eventually elected to lieutenant. In the battle of Gettysburg in early July 1863 William was wounded and captured.  He waited out the rest of the Civil War in the Johnson's Island prison camp near Sandusky, Ohio. He was paroled in 1865.

William and Julia were married on 1 April 1866 in Floyd County, Georgia.  William worked as a merchant, fruit grower, and later a teacher. 

William died 16 June 1919 in Rome, Floyd County, Georgia  and was buried in Oakland cemetery, Rome, Floyd County, Georgia.

1860 Federal 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 Charity 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 Jonathan McDow in 1850 is indeed our William James Hall.]
