I am doing research on my husbands ancestors and I know that we are related to Bad Talt Hall through the generations. He was a gg uncle(?) to my father in law or it may have even been a little farther than that.
I was wondering if any of you have ever heard of a Rodden Hall who married Elizabeth Mullins. They had a son named Robert Hall who married Judy Gabbard. Robert and Judy had a son named Talt Hall. I can not get any information on these people. I am stuck on my family tree and do not know where to go from here. If any of you know anything I would appreciate your help. Thanks!

i am the son of tilton hall also know as little bad talt hall.bad talt hall was my greatgrandfather.bad talt had one son that was john hall also known as pistol joe;who married my grandmother linda mullins so if there is any thing i can do feel free to email me back we might be able to help each other there is a lot more i would like to learn about the hall faimly since my parents and all known siblings have passed away. i do know of one grand son of bad talt that is still living; his name is sam hall living in springfield hall im sure he could answer a lot of questions and have some pictures

Good to hear from you. My father in law is named Talt Hall Jr. and I am researching his family. I have been having a hard time tracking the family down since he is the baby and most of his family is gone too. He says that Bad Talt was an uncle (ggg??) somehow but I can't link it up. I am stuck on a man named Rhodes Hall (married to Elizabeth Sandlin) who would have been born around 1860. I know that Bad Talt was born around 1849, so I am thinking that Rhodes has to be a nephew to Bad Talt. I could be wrong though. If you have ever heard of this man please let me know. If there is any way I can help you please let me know.
Thanks,
Tamera Hall

I can't remember the web site I got this, but researching the Hall line I came across it. Thomas Talton Hall b. 1846 Little Carr Fork of Rockhouse Creek, Letcher Co. Ky. son of David and Anna (Johnson) Hall; grandson of Anthony (1752-1846) and Rutha Butler (1770-1855) Hall. Married Marinda "Rinda" Triplett 12 Oct 1868 Letcher Co. Ky. Marinda was b. 1846, twin to Merilda Triplett, dau.s of Wilson and Eleanor (Isaac) Triplett. "Bad Talt" Hall was hanged for murder in Wise Co. VA 2 Sep 1892 Buried Wright Cemetery, Dunham , KY. The site related the crimes he was accused of, but I don't have them written. He isn't im my direct Hall line.

A new book was published in 2007 that contains a great deal of information on Talton Hall, more than has ever been seen before. The book is titled, "The 1885 Jones-Wright Feud." The book contains a great deal of information obtained from documents as to Talt Hall's military service during the Civil War in both the Confederate Army and later in the Union Army. Various letters, documents and notes regarding trouble just before during and after the Jones Wright Feud are in the book. The book points out that records do not support the false claim that Talt Hall killed his wife, but show that she died in Memphis of a natural illness after having been there a year. The book tells what happened to Talt's girlfriend in the years after he was hanged. The Memphis newspapers chronicaling Talt Hall's arrest there in 1891 and 92 had never been printed since that time. This book is the first to have done that. The book also has documentsthat indicate Talt Hall was betrayed when he returned to Virginia at the time he was captured. In fact, it looks as if he had been set up. The book has many other things and can be obtained from the company Xlibris as well as from Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble

Thanks so much! Hopefully I will get to read this book soon.
