Hall, Robert (deceased) was born in Dows, Lincolnshire, England, April 1,
1801. His wife, Charlotte, was born Spencer in 1804, in Ednum Parish, same
county. They were married October 2, 1826. In 1851 they left England and
settled on a farm in Onondaga county, New York. Came to Zumbro in May,
1856, and took claim on section 12, where his widow and son now reside.
Mr. Hall died August 2, 1856. He and wife were Episcopalians. Mrs. Hall is
very active at this writing, and appears good for twenty years of life
yet. Of their twelve children only two are living now. The first death in
the town occurred in this family, taking Sophia, a twenty-year-old
daughter. Emma J. married J. L. Bent (now deceased) and resides at Zumbro
Falls. George, the eldest living child, was born in Dows, October 22,
1833. He was nearly eighteen when he came to America, and attended one
term of school in New York. He came to Minnesota with his parents. He was
married February 1, 1862, to Cordelia Drinkwalter, whose parentage
elsewhere appears. They have seven children living, born as follows: Maria
C., April 15, 1864; Henrietta, October 22, 1866; Effie S., May 12, 1868;
Frederick P., September 16, 1870; Wallace R., November 11, 1874; Prosper
