Pat, I think that you are responding to Ed Marsh's e-mail instead of
mine. He sent an e-mail this afternoon that was very interesting and
named many of the names that you talk about below. I suggest you repost
your information below to the mail list as there may be others
interested in your same names. If you do not want to post to the whole
list, here is Ed Marsh's e-mail:



And by chance I do a little research on the Hall family and have some
photos of Asa Hall's grave.

And in addition, I heard from another researcher who is interested in
the McDonald family. He believes that he descends from the McDonald who
was the original miller at the site that is now McDonald's mill. He is
also on the VAMONTGO mail list so if you post you may hear from him as
well.

I have to quit for this afternoon, but I'll try to reread your below
iinformation tomorrow to see if I have any additional comments.

Great to talk with you and look forward to talking some more in the
future. Marsha in WV
