                               GENEALOGICAL NOTES.

   HALL. - Benjamin Waller (born October 1, 1716, died May 1, 1786) married January 2, 1746,
Martha Hall, born July 2, 1728.  Among their children was a son named Robert Hall Waller,
born January 7, 1764.  He married Nancy Camm, daughter of Rev. John Camm, Presdient of William
and Mary College.  At Mattoax, near Petersburg, is the tomestone of one Martha Hall, who
died in 1784, aged 36.  There is a tradition that the father of Martha Waller was Robert Hall,
of Barbadoes.  Robert Hall, probably the father of Martha Waller, was living in Prince George
county in 1726, when Edward Wyatt made him  his executor in his will.  In Thomas Addis Emmett's
Tucker of Bermuda, Bardstreet Press, New York, Mary Tucker, sister of Elizabeth, who married
Daniel Tucker, married a Hall, first name not given.  The dates would allow her to be the
mother of Martha Waller.

   SOUTHALL. - The first of the Southall family in Virginia appears to be Dasey Southall, of
James City county.  He probably married the daughter of James Barrett, of Barrett's Ferry, and
in the will of Stephen Southall, who died in Amelia county in 1748, there is mention of three
of his sons and one daughter:  (1) Stephen, who died in Amelia county, without issue, in
1748; (2) Philip, (3) James Barrett, under age in 1748; (4) Ann, married Robert Grant.  James
Barrett Southall resided in Williamsburg.  He is said to have married Frances Jones of Warwick
county.  See pedigree in the Richmond Standard October 9, 1880.  In July 2, 1761, James 
Southall qualified in Warwick county on the estate of Mary Jones, deced.  (Warwick County
Order Book.)

                        QUERIES BY MRS. MARY SELDEN KENNEDY.

   Have you any record of the early Lanes who settled in Virginia?  1.  I want the ancestry
of Joseph Lane, of Westmoreland.  His wife was Mary Newton.  Was she the daughter of Willoughby
and Sarah Eskridge Newton?  William Lane, father of this Joseph, married Martha Carr.  Can you
give her descent?  family traditions say that she was a sister of Jefferson's wife.  2.  In
WILLIAM AND MARY QUARTERLY, Hannah Ashton is given as second wife of George Eskridge.  Family
record gives her first name as Elizabeth; last name not known.  She left a will and mentioned
Elizabeth, who seemed to be her only child.  Can you throw any light upon this also?  Can you
give name of father and mother of Hannah (Ashton) Eskridge?  My account of the Ashtons has no
Hannah.  Katharine Eskridge, daughter of George Eskridge and one of his wives, married, first,
William Jett; secondly, John Lane.  This John had brothers, William Lane and James Hardidge
Lane.  Who was their father?  Who did Willoughby Newton Lane, grandson of James Hardidge Lane,
marry?  I think William, one of these brothers, married Miss Carr. - Mrs. Mary Selden
Kennedy, "Cassilis", near Warrenton, Va.
