Sources (n.b., Carroll Co. was formed from Baltimore and Frederick Cos. in 1837):

1. 1790 Census Images (online at Ancestry.com):

1790 PA Huntingdon Co. p. 123 William Hall 02-01-04-00-00

There is only one William HALL in the county, and his data do not fit our subject.

2. Census Index: U.S. Selected Counties, 1800 (Broderbund CD-312). Please see my WARNING regarding use of this database (the numerical data have the genders switched).

1800 Hall, William PA Huntingdon Co. p. 146 10010-3001000

These data should read:

which indicate:

3 males 9 or under 1790-1800 = Obadiah (b. 1797)

1 male 26-44 1755-1774 = William (b. 1767)

1 female 9 or under 1790-1800 = Anna (b. 1799)

1 female 26-44 1755-1774 = Jane (b. 1767)

There was another William HALL in the county, but only this one's data fit our subject.

3. Census Index: U.S. Selected Counties, 1810 (Broderbund CD-313). Please see my WARNING regarding use of this database (the numerical data have the genders switched).

1810 Hall, William PA Washington Co. Hanover p. 45

1810 Hall, William VA [now WV] Ohio Co. p. 6 21010-2000100

There is only one William HALL in Huntingdon Co., and he is still there in 1820, so he is not our subject. Our subject may be one of the William HALLs in southwestern PA or WV, as related families lived in the region before moving to OH. The 1810 Ohio census was lost, so that is where our subject may be.

Where is Samuel? Ruth? Obadiah? The other William HALL is still back in West Twp., Huntingdon Co., PA.

1 female 50-59 1770-1780 = Jane (b. 1765/6?)

Jane appears to be fibbing about her age; either that or her age in the 1850 Census is wrong, which it almost has to be if the youngest boy is really her child. See table for neighbors.

1 female 60-69 1770-1780 = Jane (b. 1765/6?)

Jane appears to be fibbing about her age; either that or her age in the 1850 Census is wrong.

William Hall 88 M Farmer Md

Jane " 84 F do

Obadiah Hall 53 M do 6000 Penn

Mahala " 40 F do

[Obadiah & Mahala's children]

The location could be read as either "Ma" or "Md," but as we know Jane was born in MD, then it has to be MD.
