Henry Hall
|
Henry Hall, ca. 1861 |
|
Henry Hall was my great-grandfather's brother-in-law. Henry was born in Georgia, and later moved to Alabama. He married Amanda Andrews ( William J. Andrews' sister) on May 18, 1855, in Rome, Georgia, by a justice of the peace named John Payne. Henry and Amanda Hall had two children: Elizabeth (born on July 4, 1856 in Floyd County, Georgia), and Martha Frances (born on June 24, 1858 in Shelby, Alabama).Henry Hall was killed at Frayser's Farm (Glendale), June 30, 1862. Henry is probably buried in the unmarked mass Confederate grave at Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond. Read about the 10th Alabama Infantry and Henry Hall's regiment. Henry's widow, Amanda (Andrews) Hall, moved to Rome to be with the Andrews following his death, and she received $113.50 "backpay" from the CSA's Treasury Department in 1864. Family records also indicate that Amanda was a hospital nurse for the Confederacy. Amanda Hall moved to Provo, Utah with the Andrews family in 1869 and later remarried. Read the article "Andrews Family History in Rome, Floyd County, Georgia, 1852-1869," by David A. Larson, from the NW Georgia Historical and Genealogical Society Quarterly, vol. 26 no. 4, Fall 1994, pages 22-24. |
