     The assumption is that the Ephraim listed as the brother of Daniel Hall in Daniel's will was the father of Ephraim who was a seaman in the Virginia State Navy in the Revolutionary War. This is based on the fact that the elder Ephraim would have been about 50 years of age during the Revolution, normally too old to be a seaman, and that he must have had a son Ephraim, who was in the Revolutionay War. He evidently died before 1800 as he was not listed as a head of household in that year's census. Ephraim was born circa 1760 at Accomack Co, VA. He was the son of Ephraim Hall (the elder). Ephraim served in the Revolutionary War in in 1775 at Accomack Co, VA. "It is ordered to be certified that it appears to the Court satisfactory proof that John C. Hall, Mary Ann, Eliza and John Hall, Gilbert Hall and Sophia Copes the wife of Peter Parker Copes are the only heirs at law of Ephraim Hall who was a Seaman in the Virginia State Navy in the Revolutionary War, and that the said Ephraim Hall died intestate." "Ordered that the guardian of the infant heirs of Ephraim Hall dec'd, do sell, assign and transfer all the Military Land Script to which they are entitled for the services of said Ephraim Hall in the Revolutionary War." (Acc Orders 1832-36, p17, dated 25 Sep 1832, and p564) It should also be noted that in most of the Acc Orders stating heirs of Revolutionary War vetrans, it specifically mentions when the named heirs are sons or daughters. It is assumed that since no specific relationship was mention, that the heirs were his necies or nephews..² He married Susanah (-----) circa 1785.^3,4 Ephraim died before 1800.

     George was born circa 1760 at Accomack Co, VA.¹ He was the son of Ephraim Hall (the elder). George served in the Revolutionary War in in 1775 at Accomack Co, VA. It is ordered to be certified that George Hall who was a Seaman in the Virginia State Navy in the Revolutionary War died intestate and that no orginal will of said George Hall or any copy of any such will has ever been proven or offered for probation in this Court. It is also ordered to be certified that John C. Hall and Mary Ann, Eliza and John Hall infant children of George Hall the younger dec'd, are the only heirs at law of said George Hall the elder, the said John C. and George Hall the younger being children of George Hall the elder (Acc Orders 1832-36, p. 17, dated 25 Sep 1832). Also on that same page, it was ordered that John C. Hall guardian of Mary Ann, Eliza and John Hall infant children of George Hall the younger, do sell, assign and transfer all the script to which they are entitled as heirs at law of George Hall the elder a Seaman in the Virginia State Navy in the Revolutionay War. George Hall, who served in the Virginia State Navy, said that the Henry Galley was stationed in the same area from 1777 through 1780 and part of the time was under the command of Captain Richard Barron (Militiamen, Vol. 1, p. 9)..² He married Polly Clark circa 1785.³ George died circa 1796.⁴

     John was born circa 1760 at Accomack Co, VA. He was the son of Ephraim Hall (the elder). John served in the Revolutionary War in in 1775 at Accomack Co, VA. He was shown as John Hall, a drummer in the Army by Turman. It is ordered to be certified that it appears to the court that John Hall, who was a Seaman in the Virginia State Navy in the Revolutionary War died intestate and that no orginial will of said John Hall has ever been proved or offered for probation in this Court, that John C. Hall, Mary Ann, Eliza and John Hall the younger, Gilbert Hall and Sophia Copes the wife of Peter P. Copes are the only heirs at law of the said John Hall the elder (Acc Orders 1832-36, p. 17, dated 25 Sep 1832). Ordered that the guardian of the infant heirs of John Hall dec'd, do sell, assign and transfer all the military land script to which they may be entitled for the services of said John Hall in the Revolutionary War (Acc Orders 1832-36, p. 564, dated _________).

     Colonel Thomas Hall purchased 475 acres of Tangier Island from Charles Scarburgh (wife Mary Ann). This was was confirmed in Charles Scarburgh's will of 1762. In 1763 Colonel Thomas Hall and his wife Elizabeth (Scarburgh) sold the 475 acres to William Andrews who had married Colonel Hall's daughter Anna Maria Hall. In 1778 Andrews sold it as 450 acres to Joseph Crockett. It has been said that the Island was first settled in 1686 by a John Crockett and his eight sons, who had come over from the Western Shore, but that does not seem to be substantiated by the records. The Crockett family is known to have been on the lower Eastern Shore of Maryland at an early date. If they had possibly come to the island at the date indicated, they would have come as cattle-tenders or other tenants of the Scarburgh-West owners. There is no record of a Crockett owning land in Acc Co before this 1778 purchase, and not a Crockett will is recorded there, down to 1800. His common name was Thomas. Thomas was born in 1714 at Accomack Co, VA.² He was the son of Thomas Hall and Jane Rickards. He married Elizabeth Scarburgh on 31 October 1735 at Accomack Co, VA.³ Thomas was named in a deed in in 1762 at Accomack Co, VA.⁴ Thomas served in the Revolutionary War in in 1775 at Accomack Co, VA.

At the time of Hall's appointment, Colonel Covington Corbin was listed as Commanding Officer of the Acc Co Militia, and Lt. Colonel Thomas Bayly as second in command. This was in 1775. Lt. Col. Bayly received his commission on 25 Apr 1775 and Col. Corbin received his on 27 Jun 1775. After Thomas Hall's death in 1775, George Corbin replaced him as County Lieutenant. In the first days after the Declaration of Independence the county militias were technically under the command of a County Lieutenant, with a Colonel, Lt. Col., and Major working with him. For a number of years the County Lieutenant was effectively the Commander of the Militia, with the rank of Colonel, even though each Militia unit had its own Colonel, Lt. Col., and Major as field officers..^5,6 Thomas died in 1775 at Accomack Co, VA.⁷ Thomas's will was probated on 31 October 1775 at Accomack Co, VA.⁷
