Click for photo of Jackson Lafayette Hall and 2 other children of John and Susanna Hall Jackson Lafayette Hall Sr. and Sarah Jane Ramsay HallHe moved with his parents to Nacogdoches County, Texas when he was about ten years old. He was left an orphan by the time he was fourteen years old In the 1850 Nacogdoches Texas census page 124, he was 24 years-old, a farmer with $400 of property value, living with his sister Ebelina Hall McDaniel and her husband John Thomas McDaniel. Jackson moved to Oregon sometime before 1857. This was shortly after his father's probate was finally completed. He became a muler. Jackson Lafayette Hall married Sarah Jane Ramsay Oct 8, 1857 in Lane County, Oregon where they lived for almost twenty years. They had 10 children. Two of them (Martha Elizabeth Hall and Samuel Marion Hall) died in Oregon before they were 2 years old. Their eighteen-year-old son, James Alexander Hall, died about 1875 in Alaska. The family is also found in the 1870 Oregon Census in Jackson County. Their son, Amory [or Emory] Jackson Hall stayed in Oregon for a few more years. Some of his descendants still live in that area. They moved to Arizona sometime during the latter part of 1874 or sometime in 1875. Their last child, Charles Hall was born in Skull Valley, Yavapai County, Arizona. Apparently there were complications because Sarah died on 1 Jan 1876, the day after Charles was born. In the 1880 Coryell Texas Census, Five of Jackson and Sarah Hall's children are living with Henry M. Smith family. Jackson may have gone back to Nacogdoches, Texas to take care of some business and left his children with his sister and her husband. Apparently there are some documents for him about that time in Nacogdoches County, Texas, because he is listed in Carolyn Ericson's book, Citizens of Nacogdoches in 1880. In 1900, Jackson and some of his children are in the Yavapai Arizona census Cassa Verde Precinct. Jackson died sometime in 1911 at Colorado River, Mohave, Arizona and was originally buried in Searchlight, Arizona. Jackson Hall's body was moved to Mt. View Cemetery in Kingman, Arizona. on November 28, 1949. The Government paid the cost of the re-burial ($175) because water from the Davis Dam would cover his grave. He is buried in Section 5 Lot 6 Grave 8. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
