Genealogy Report of Silas Hall and his descendants

Descendants of Silas Hall
Please note that we have added to this report a father for Silas so we could begin to create a possible link to fellow Hall males in Jefferson County, Tennessee between 1807 & 1815. Thomas Hall is a genuine person in the county at that time but we are not certain as to his relationship to the others but wanted to begin gathering information on Silas, his probably brother, Moses, and two possible brothers, Squire & Micajah.
Descendants of Thomas Hall
Generation No. 1
1. THOMAS1 HALL
Notes for THOMAS HALL:
There is no strong evidence that Thomas Hall is the father of Silas, Squire, Moses & Micajah. He is the bondsman for Squire and Leah Lane. While he is present in Jefferson Co., TN during the early 1800s, using him as a 'father' to these other men is simply a method of putting this report together and encouraging further research.
Children of THOMAS HALL are:
2. i. SILAS2 HALL, b. Abt. 1775, North Carolina; d. Abt. 1846, Jefferson Co., TN.
3. ii. SQUIRE HALL, b. 06 Mar 1791, Wilkes Co., NC; d. 11 Jun 1871, Richmond, Cass Co., IL.
4. iii. MOSES HALL, b. Abt. 1782, North Carolina; d. Bef. 1850, Jefferson Co., TN.
iv. MICAJAH HALL, b. Abt. 1778, North Carolina; m. JANE THOMAS, 24 Oct 1808, Jefferson Co., Tennessee.
Notes for MICAJAH HALL:
As with Squire, there has been no concerted effort to assure that Micajah is the brother of Silas, Moses & Squire. They are all in the same place and the same time in Jefferson Co., TN in the early 1800s. The bond for Micajah Hall & Jane Thomas listed Wm. Thomas as bondsman and D. Barton, witness.

An Ancestry.com family tree lists this Squire Hall as a son of Martin D. Hall. Obviously much more research is needed.
The book, "Tennesseans in the War of 1812" lists Pvt. Squire Hall in Capt. John Childs' company of E. Tn. Vol. Inf. commanded by Col Samuel Wear.

Ottis was born in Loogootee, Indiana and as a young man moved to Okmulgee, Oklahoma riding on the top of a freight train. He worked at a glass factory and played semi-pro baseball. An outstanding player, he was nicknamed 'Hoggie' because he played 2nd base and 'hogged' every ball he could get to. Even at his funeral at age 82, former teammates came to honor their old buddy, Hoggie.
Grandpa Ottis was a terrific grandfather......taught me to drive in his 1948 Jeepster when I was 14.......in exchange for not telling Grandma that he smoked a cigarette. We had a lot of fun in their visit each summer. He died in 1972 after several weeks of traction from breaking his neck in a car wreck.
