Milly, living with Francis Callaway Holder & Col. John Holder, before her marriage to
Edward Hall. Francis Callaway Holder was the daughter of Col. Richard Callaway who was
killed by Indians at Fort Boonesbourgh which is located in present-day Madison County,
Kentucky.
Edward Hall married Milly (unknown), June 9, 1786.
Parson Andrew Trimble married Edward and Milly Hall. Andrew Tribble headed a Separate
Baptist Church at Tate's Creek (Madison Co., Ky.) from 1786 until his death in 1822.
"Milly was living at the home of Col. John Holder at John Holder's Station in
Clark County, Kentucky". After their marriage, Edward and Milly lived at Fort
Boonesborough in Madison County, Kentucky. Later the Hall's lived north of the
Kentucky River in Clark and Estill counties. It is not known what the relationship of
Milly was to John Holder or to his wife Frances Callaway Holder, daughter of Col. Richard
Callaway. Col. Richard Callaway was said to have a daughter named Milly.
The early stations in Kentucky were small compared to the forts. The only exception is
Bryan Station which was the size of a fort. " The stations were one or more cabins
and those that lived there were usually families related by marriage, blood, or
friendship". Milly (unknown) Hall was from Virginia. John Holder was from Virginia
and married to Francis "Fanny" Callaway who was the daughter of Col. Richard
Callaway. Edward Hall served under Col. John Holder.
From Milly Hall's pension statement in 1843, she was born in
Virginia and age 75. Milly Hall died in 1858 at age 97 which would be born in 1761. The
age of Milly Callaway, daughter of Col. Richard Callaway is given as born in 1759. Col.
Richard Callaway was killed by Indians, so it seems very possible that Milly was living
with her sister Fanny.
Fayette Circuit Court Records, Book D, page 225
The deposition of Aquilla White - came to Kentucky and settled at Boonesborough April
1779. About 130 people, old and young lived at McGee's Station in 1780. About 30
families lived at Boonesborough, nearly as many at Strode's and about 20 families at
Boone's Station, eight families at Holder's. (Holder's = John Holder's
Station.
Clark Co., Ky. June 28, 1843, personally appeared Milly Hall, widow of said Edward Hall,
age 75 years on the 16th Oct. 1843. She states he was from Va. She does not know the
county. She states she was married to Edward Hall June 9, 1786 in Fayette, County Ky.;
that her husband, the aforsaid Edward Hall died on the 13th July 1838 in Estill County,
Ky.; that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the services, but that she has
had 9 children. The oldest living is 52; that her oldest child is dead and that she was
married 17 months when her first child was born. Garret Hall, her oldest, is living in
Indiana. She was married by Parson Andrew Tribble and that the office burned where the
license were issued when they married (Fayette Co.)
The date of Milly (unknown) Hall at her death (Estill County, Kentucky) was 1858 at age 97
which would be born in 1761. This seems close to the date of the birth of Milly who was
the daughter of Col. Richard Callaway.
