Surname: Hall, Mitchell, Baker
-------------------------
Laura,
I`m also researching these lines. I have some info on John Gregory Hall.
He was my 3rd great grandfather. His father was Michael Raleigh Hall that
was born in MD. in 1769. I don`t know what county. His mother was Susannah
____. John went by his middle name Gregory as did his son and grandson
who were also named John. He was a Baptist preacher. Rumor has it that
he 1st went to a seminary to become a priest. His father was Catholic.
There are 3 generations of Halls buried at the Indian Creek Baptist Church
Cemetery in Lawrence Co. IN. The Halls lived around the Silverville area.
They crossed the Martin and Lawrence Co. lines. Gregory`s 1st wife was
Mary Elizabeth Hedrick. His 2nd wife was Mary Mitchell. Gregory maried
Mary Apr. 16, 1829 in Lawrence Co. IN. He was born Feb. 28, 1807 in Woodford
Co. KY. Around the Lexington area. He died Mar. 14, 1881 in Lawrence Co.
IN. He was also a farmer. He had 9 children that I know of. Richard Waldo
b. 4-19-1829; James B. b. 8-5-1830 d. 10-28-1884, Thomas Quilla b 6-2-1832,
Sarah Jane (Sallie) b 3-14-1834, Mary Ann (Polly) b. 2-9-1836, Francis
Marion b. 2-25-1838, Susannah b. 12-19-1839, John David b7-11-1844, d.
7-29-1917, Jocie b. 4-8-1847. There were a lot of marriages between the
Hall and Baker line. There is a book on Mitchells at the Lawrence Co. IN
Courthouse. It is not my Mitchells. But it could be your line. There is
also a Baker book there which is your line. There are alot of those Bakers
buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery at the Crane Ammunitions Depot. It is open
to the public on Memorial Day and the Sunday before. Other times it is
open by special request. This cemetery is in a restricted area. You will
be escorted there and escorted out. This cemetery is by a bunker. They
have a book on every cemetery in the there. Rumor has it that the Halls
migrated with the Catholic migration to KY; then on into IN. Nicholaus
Baker was the father to Armstead and is buried at Silverville, Lawrence
Co. IN. If I can be of further help to you let me know.
