Location of Cemetery:  Springfield in Greene County, Alabama near Eutaw.

Directions:  The State of Alabama owns 15.49 acres of land located in Section 4, 
Township 22 North, Range 2 East. This tract of land is about 6 miles North of 
Eutaw, Alabama in Springfield (no longer a town) off US 11 on county road and 
located on it is the Springfield Fire Tower. The John Hall Cemetery is about 25 
yards East of said 15.49 acres and is on private property. The Hall cemetery is 
difficult to find as it is completely overgrown with bushes, vines, etc.

History:  Springfield was one of the first towns settled (around 1818) in Greene 
County, Alabama and for many years was the most prominent place in the county 
west of the Warrior River. The removal of the county seat in 1838 from Erie to 
Eutaw wrecked the prosperity of Springfield. 

John Hall's (of Greene County) parents John Hall and Susannah White came from 
Burke County, North Carolina when John was a small boy and settled in Tennessee. 
After his father died in 1822, John Hall and his family moved to Springfield 
where he became a well-known planter . He continued to live there until his 
death in 1870. He was buried near the old home place. Several of his family 
members including both of his wives are  buried there and is now known as The 
John Hall Family Cemetery.

Hall Family Genealogy:  I have considerable genealogy information including 
copies of wills, photos, etc. on the John Hall line that I would share with any 
of John Hall's relatives.
