HALL
The 1850 Cocke Co, TN Census shows the following HALL families which I am trying to connect: William (86), Martin (73), Ambrose (37), Austin (34), J.H. (22), John W.

HALL could be brothers and the sons of William Hall (86), but have been unable to make a definite connection. Also believe Martin HALL (73) may be William's (86) brother. Are there any HALL researchers out there that may be able to assist me in establishing a relationship among all these HALL's. Thanks so much for all help!

Looking for any desendents of Lt. Col. Abraham MCKAY. Maybe from Shanandoah, Va. The area fort in Cocke co Tenn 1788-79 suggests he was there at that time.
