Notes for ALEXANDER HALL:
Notes By: Sarahjane Doyle Nelson Swatstad
Alexander Hall, a blacksmith, the oldest son of James M. and Nancy B. White Hall was born in Giles Co., Va. in July of 1857.When he was about one and one half years old, his mother died during childbirth to twins James and John.When the twins were about two their father married Louisa Mowles in Mercer Co., Va.They then moved to Maden Springs in Tazewell Co., Va. in 1859 0r 1860.
Alexander married Margaret M. Cruey 3 May 1882.Her father Andrew J. Cruey was a wagon maker in Maiden Springs.They had nine Children: Nanny Lou, Mary J., Bettie, Gracie, Earl Preston, Andrew J., John H., Cornelius, and Robert who died of Rheumatic Fever at the age of 10 0r 11.
He grew up during the Civil War, possibly following his father after the war into Grayson Co., Va. and Ashe Co., N.C. and then returning to Maiden Springs.His wife, Margaret,died shortly before 1910 with five children still at home.Cornie, the youngest, was only four or five.World War I came in 1917 and the three boys, Andrew, John, and Earl all served in France at the same time.They all came home, however Earl who had been gassed was mentally affected.I'm not sure of the events leading to the death of Alexander.But I was told by my grandmother, Nannie Lou, that one evening in 1919 he went down by the creek and committed suicide with a knife to his throat.
Alexander and Margaret, her parents, and some of their children; Betty, Mary, Andrew, Robert and Earl; are all buried in Jones Chapel Cemetery, Ceder Bluff, Va. There are no markers for Alexander, Margaret, or Robert.
He is remembered as being a pleasant happy man over six foot tall with red hair and riding a white stallion.
