Son of Alexander Hall and Anna Jane Rice, he was living in Henderson County when the 1850 census was taken with George P. Rice and family; this may have been his mother's brother.
Given the record above that he died on 12 Apr 1858 at the age of 25 years, 6 months, his birth date is probably closer to October, 1832 than sometime in 1834.
He married Mollie Coghill on 18 Oct 1857; thus, they had been married less than six months when he died, and Mollie died three months later.
