James Hall, a farmer, the son of David and Sarah Hall was born in Giles Co., Va. about 1785.

They had twelve children: Elizabeth, David, Mary, Henry L., John, Sarah, James M., Alexander, Nancy, Martha L., Benjamin, and Daniel.
It is believed the family moved to Pulaski Co., Va. around 1854. (The census of that county is not complete). However, the 1850 Census places Acles White in the 48 th District of Pulaski Co., Va. James M. Hall married Nancy the daughter of Acles White and Elizabeth in Pulaski Co., Va 19 Sep 1855. The 1840 Census for Giles Co., Va. shows Acles White living in the area near the James Hall Farm.
The 1810, 1815 Special Tax List, 1820, 1830,1840,and 1850 Census places David Hall and his sons James and Benjamin in Giles Co., Va. No Other Census is available. Information taken from a " History of the Middle New River Settlements", by David E. Johnson on page 58, states, " In the year 1776 John MC Comas and Thomas H. Napier with thier familes came from Western Maryland and settled on the New River below the mouth of Walker's Creek, but later moved to the neighborhood where Pearisburg, Va. is now situated. They together with the Hall's built Fort Branch on land which had been owned by Charles D. French Esq.".
