History of Lawrence, ORANGE, and Washington Counties, Indiana
Goodspeed Bros. & Co., Publishers - Chicago, 1884

           [586-587]

           JOSEPH HALL was born in Paoli Township, Orange Co, Ind., June 4,
        1828, one of twelve children of RICHARD and POLLY (EVERETTE) HALL.
        RICHARD was born of Welsh descent in Wayne County, N. C. In company
        with his brother JOHN and brother-in-law named NEWSOM, he settled
        in Stampers Creek Township in 1811. He married in this county in
        1813, and together he and wife shared the hardships of pioneer
        life. His death occurred in 1871, having been known throughout life
        as an honest and industrious citizen.  JOSEPH HALL has known no
        other home than Orange County.  After receiving a common school
        education in the country schools he chose farming as his occupation
        for life and has pursued it steadily.  In 1873 he was united in
        wedlock with ELIZABETH J., daughter of STEPHEN and LILLY (DAWSON)
        THOMAS.  Mr. and Mrs. THOMAS settled in Indiana from North Carolina
        in 1813, and like the HALLS were among the time-tried pioneers of
        the county, their Quaker religion stamping them with the marks of
        integrity and industry.  MR. HALL is a Republican in politics and
        owns seventy acres where he resides.  He and his wife are also
        members of the Society of Friends.
