The Hall Family Lines - England to New York to New Jersey and to Indiana

George Hall, the second fellow on this list was part of the British Army contingent that arrived in New Amsterdam aboard five ships and took over the town from the Dutch renaming it New York.

Thomas Hall married Geertje Janse Eltinge daughter of Jan and Jacomyntje Eltinge of the Dutch community in New Amsterdam. Much of the Eltinge family left New Amsterdam, now the British city of New York, for New Paltz to the north where they joined other Dutch families in a new location. Geertje dropped out of the extensive Eltinge family tree and was lost to that family until some Eltinge researches and I crossed paths 15 or so years ago and we reconnected this line into the Eltinge family.

The graves of the two Isaac Hall's and Eliza Jane are all in Jennings County, Indiana, worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood.
