(Rockhouse) Letcher Co., Kentucky,
USA.
Notes for Anthony Hall:
Anthony Hall was born on March 7, 1752, in
Hartburn, Northumberland, England, a son of Anthony Hall, and Mary Heppell.
He died of a fever on December 14, 1846, at Deane, Letcher County, Kentucky.
A military grave marker was recently erected at his grave, which is located
adjacent to the Riley Bentley Cemetery, on Kentucky Route 7, about 2 miles
south of the Deane post office.
Edward Polley, who testified on behalf of
Hall's application for pension in 1825, stated that he had known Hall before
the war. Polley stated that he, himself was born in Pittsylvania County.
Hall's statements in support of his application do not establish his birthplace
or residence before 1777. Tax lists of Virginia for 1783 do not include his
name. John Hall a pensioner who lived in Floyd and Perry Counties in Kentucky
at the same time that Anthony Hall lived there, lists his origin as Pittsylvania
County Virginia. John Hall was five years Anthony's
junior.
The first definitive statement of Anthony's
whereabouts lists his enlistment in the 7th Virginia Continental Line unit
commanded by Colonel William Campbell and a Captain Bowyers. Hall enlisted
at Halifax County Virginia on June 10, 1777 for the term of one year. He
stayed with that outfit and was reportedly discharged while in Caswell County
North Carolina on June 9, 1778. He enlisted immediately for a term of three
years in a unit commanded by Lt. Colonel Archibald Lytle and Captain John
Donoho. Hall remembers this as the 2nd Regiment N.C. Continental Line. The
records of muster rolls and a major source on the troops of North Carolina
list Lytle as a Militia Colonel in 1778 assigned to the Hillsborough District.
At about that time Colonel Lytle indeed raised a regiment in Caswell county
and later the militia were called to continental line duty. I could not find
Anthony Hall's name of any list of North Carolina units or in the list of
Lytle's Caswell County levies. Hall stated that he stayed in this regiment
until it was surrendered along with the remainder of the southern troops
at Charleston, South Carolina on May 10, 1780. He further states that he
was neither exchanged or paroled until the end of the war. Other sources
indicate that the remaining prisoners, those who did not die, were exchanged
for other prisoners or those paroled (militia were sent home on a gentleman's
agreement not to fight again in the war), were released upon repeated
negotiations by General Nathaniel Greene. These remaining prisoners were
reportedly freed at Jamestown, Virginia on June 10, 1781.
In the application for pension of Edward Polly
in Perry County Kentucky Circuit Court Anthony Hall stated that he "knows
of Edward Polly performing a tour of eighteen months in the regular army
on the line of the continental establishment under the command of General
Nathaniel Greene, that he himself was a regular solder in said army and knew
said Polly previous to his enlistment and during his own term of service.
It is the same Edward Polly who has this day filed his declaration in writing
for a pension in this court."...November 19, 1825. A friend, Edward Polly
died on May 19, 1845 while a resident of Letcher County, Kentucky. He left
a widow, Mary (Polly) Mullins Polly and eleven children; viz., Sally, Andrew,
Polly, Agnes, Raney, Joseph, Edward, Vina, Nancy, Susannah and
David.
A second witness for Anthony Hall was "Silas
Wooten", who said that he was "well acquainted with Anthony Hall as a
revolutionary war soldier. I do swear that the said Anthony Hall and myself
both enlisted in the same company which was commanded by Captain Bowyer in
the 7th Virginia Regiment commanded by Colonel Campbell in Virginia line
on Continental Establishment, that we both enlisted for the term of one year,
that I do know that the said Anthony Hall did serve out his full term of
enlistment and was honorably discharged at Caswell County in the state of
North Carolina after serving out his full term of enlistment which was one
year under the same enlistment , that I do know that the said Anthony Hall
did then immediately enlist again into the service of the United States in
Colonel Lytle's 2nd North Carolina Regiment in a company commanded by a Captain
Donoho for the term of three years and I do know that the said Hall did serve
in said regiment until the seige at Charlestown in South Carolina and I know
that the said Anthony Hall was then taken a prisoner of war by the British
and was afterwards (not) parolled by them and was not exchanged until peace
was made."...November 16, 1825 Perry County Kentucky
Silas Wooten was supported in his application
for pension by Anthony Hall and Thomas Lovelady. Lovelady stated that "Wooten
enlisted in Halifax County Virginia under Captain Bowyers and Colonel Campbell
,that ...Wooten served out his full term of enlistment and that he served
about two or three months longer and that the said Wooten was in the Battle
at Guilford in March,1781. Wooten stated that he enlisted in January, 1780.
That he served honorably through the Battle of Guilford Courthouse and was
discharged by Colonel Campbell on April 1, 1781 in Caswell County North Carolina.
Silas listed his occupation as schoolteacher.
The 1790 North Carolina Census reports only
one person named Anthony Hall living in the State. He resided in Montgomery
County and had no other people in the house. A marriage bond, entered in
Caswell County, North Carolina, for a marriage between an Anthony Hall and
Winney Harrell is listed in the Latter Day Saints IGI as having occurred
in 1793. This person was likely to have been the same Anthony Hall who lived
in Montgomery County in 1790, although I have no proof. I have not yet contacted
Caswell County to see if a return was sent from a minister, which would indicate
that a marriage took place. I have found no record of children of this marriage.
The pension record of my ancestor doesn't include any information about this
marriage.
My next record of Anthony Hall shows that
he and Richard Hall entered into a marriage bond on December 23, 1794 in
Caswell County, North Carolina. Surety was given to the then Governor Richard
D. Sleight for 500 pounds condition on to marriage with Ruthy Butler. They
were married by the Reverend Nathan Holliday at the home of George Butler,
the father of Ruth. Nathan was a Baptist minister. Ruth and Anthony had "as
many as three children born prior to the year 1800." According to census
records these three children, William, James and David Hall were born in
Virginia. The three other children listed in the pension files were born
in Kentucky; viz., Alexander b. 1808, John, b. 1810 and Samuel b.
1812.
Sometime between 1800 and 1808 Anthony and
Ruth Hall moved through Southwestern Virginia, through Pound Gap and into
Knox County, Kentucky. Anthony was listed as one of the early settlers of
Knox County. By 1816 whether by county line changes of slight movement north
and eastward, Anthony was living in Floyd County, Kentucky. He applied for
pension as a revolutionary war veteran on May 18, 1818 in Floyd County. He
was unsuccessful "for want of proof of service." He reported that his assets
consisted of "one old mare, worth $30 and one cow and calf, worth $10." He
reported his occupation as that of a farmer, but "from age and infirmity"
he was unable to pursue it.
