The
Hall Records, Genealogical and Biographical",by
Richard Miller, 1886. Scanned, and generously submitted by
David Fowler, this book covers the Thomas Hall family from Delaware.
Family
guide to "Hall Records, Biographical and Genealogical":
Dave Stevens has generated his own outline
descent tree for the
descendants of Thomas Hall, as found in Miller's book, "The Hall Records".
Because he found
the original version
to be a bit confusing. Dave also reformatted the book for his own
research use. This
reformatted version,
along with a much more detailed index, is available as a word document.
If you would like a
copy, or have any additional
information or corrections to make to this guide, please let me know, and
I will pass
it along to Dave.
