Moses Hall was born in Shelby County, Ky., July 13, 1826, where he 
lived upon his father's farm and received a common-school education. 
When twenty-six years old his father gave him a plantation, and in 
1853 he married Mary E. Robison, daughter of William and Rebecca 
(Cunningham) Robison, natives of Kentucky. Mrs. Hall was born in 
Jefferson County, of that State, May 18, 1833. Mr. Hall came to Monroe 
County, Mo., in 1857, but returning to Kentucky in 1865, lived there 
until 1881. Coming to Arkansas he first located in Woodruff County, 
and in 1836 came to Crawford County, where he now farms upon 120 acres 
of land, ninety of which he has cultivated. Mr. and Mrs. Hall are 
members of the Presbyterian Church, and the parents of eight children, 
seven of whom are living: Benjamin L., William R., Elizabeth R. 
(deceased), Mary B., Virginia L., James T., George W. and Ella R. Mr. 
Hall is a Democrat in politics. He is a successful man, his property 
being the result of his own labor, and the property given him by his 
father was all lost during the war. Moses Hall, Sr., the father of our 
subject, was also a native of Shelby County, Ky., and his mother, 
Elizabeth P. (Crawford), was born in Greenbrier County, Va., but went 
to Shelby County with her parents when sixteen years old. The family 
on both sides have been Old School Presbyterians, and were of Irish 
descent. Mr. Hall was an extensive planter, a soldier in the War of 
1812, and a Democrat.
