Henry joined Captain James D. Truss' (or Trufs?) Company F of the 10th Alabama Infantry from St. Clair County, as a private. Records indicate he was 25 years old, stood 5 ft 11 inches tall, had gray eyes, dark hair, and dark complexion, and was a farmer at the time of his enlistment. The 10th Alabama Infantry was formally organized at Montgomery on June 4, 1861, with John H. Forney as its Colonel. Captain Truss (Trufs?) was later promoted to Major. The 10th Alabama Regiment served as part of Gen. Cadmus Wilcox's Brigade. Throughout its whole career this regiment was singularly distinguished for its dash and courage, and the great losses that it sustained in every battle.
Henry was present with the regiment at the following engagements: Dranesville, Siege of Yorktown, Williamsburg, Seven Pines, and the Seven Days Battles before Richmond, Virginia. Henry Hall was killed at Frayser's Farm (Glendale), June 30, 1862. Henry is probably buried in the unmarked mass Confederate grave at Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond.
The report of Colonel James Kirk (Union) of the battle of Frayser's Farm: "...Tenth Alabama was almost totally annihilated." The Confederate medical director reports 38 killed, 198 wounded, in the fights before Richmond, June 26th to July 1, 1862. Wilcox's Brigade sustained a 57% loss at the Seven Days battles.
Henry's widow, Amanda (Andrews) Hall, moved to Rome, Georgia to be with the Andrews following his death, and she received $113.50 "backpay" from the CSA's Treasury Department in 1864. Family records also indicate that Amanda was a hospital nurse for the Confederacy.
Amanda Hall moved to Provo, Utah with the Andrews family in 1869 and later remarried.
