Richard John Hall and Mary Caroline _______ had the following children:
- Eliza Jane Hall b: 1841
- Sarah A. Hall b: about 1846 in NY
- James A. Hall b: 1852
My ancestor Josephine Rebecca Hall "Rebecca" was b: July 13, 1850 probably in in Ellington, Chautauqua, NY. In the 1880 U.S. Census for Wisconsin, she lists her father as being b: in New York and her mother in Maine. She was living in Augusta, Wisconsin at the time of her marriage on July 11, 1869 in Otter Creek, Eau Claire Cty, WI to Charles E. Bailey b: September 20, 1844 in Lewis, Essex Cty, New York d: November 12, 1905 in Eau Claire, Eau Claire Cty, WI. Rebecca lived with her children until her death. Rebecca d: March 22, 1924 in Milwaukee, WI. (pics)
Charles and Rebecca were Protestants and lived at E. Bluff St. Both are buried at Forest Hill Cemetery. Because the three eldest children were b: in Sparta, Charles and Rebecca must have lived there for several years before moving to Eau Claire. Her headstone reads "Josephine" so that caused a good deal of confusion for me, especially since my grandmother referred to an 'Aunt Josephine'.
Melissa Arnold Hall is shown in the 1880 U.S. Federal Census as 60 years old and living with Charles E. and Rebecca Bailey. She shows herself and her parents as all being b: in Maine.
* It is odd that there was no death certificate for Melissa Arnold in Eau Claire county, although they may have lived across the river in Chippewa county. Since they were living in Wells, Monroe, WI in 1880, it's possible she d: there. However, she is buried in Augusta, Eau Claire County, Wisconsin. There is a probate record for a Melissa Hall who d: May 29, 1882. The probate records are from 1883-1889 in Koshkonong, Jefferson, WI. It states that she lived in Fort Atkinson, Jefferson, WI. Chauncey Converse was the executor and he was also an inheritor as well as her sister, Mrs. Jane Peirce and a Charles D. Handy.
