Date
Event
Mar. 1775
Richard Henderson and eight others, organized as the Transylvania Company, purchased 20-million acres of what is now the Commonwealth of Kentucky from the Cherokee Nation. Immediately, Daniel Boone was sent forth by the Company to carve out a path to the purchased lands. Boone, with 30 road cutters, spent two months cutting through the Gap and into “Kanta-Ke”. By April, they arrived at the Kentucky River and began labor on the capital of the new Transylvania Colony, called Boonesboro. Both Virginia and North Carolina declared the purchase null and void, but later granted lands to Henderson.
1775- 1810
App. 2-300,000 hopeful settlers used the Wilderness Road. (¾ of the Kentucky immigrants came by land, while ¼ came by boat on the Ohio River).
1775- 1777
Boonesboro was the primary target of Indian hostilities in Kentucky. The fort was attacked in December 1775 and in April and July 1777 by large war parties. The Calloway girls and Boones' daughter were captured in July 1776.
1776
Transylvania becomes Kentucky County, Virginia.
May 1778
George Rogers Clark along with about 150 militia and 20 families, rafted down the Ohio River and landed near the Falls on Corn Island. Clark and his men soon left on their quest to conquer the Northwest Territory. The settlers who remained behind moved to the southern shore of the Ohio and established Louisville. The Road was then pushed out from Harrodsburg to meet them.
Sept. 1778
The "Great Siege of Boonesboro" began as 400 Indians and 12 French companions appeared at the fort. The French and Indians attempted to set fire to the fort by shooting fireballs onto the roofs of the cabins. The plan failed because the women and children of the fort put out the fires and were aided by heavy rainfall. Next the attackers tried to burrow under the foundation of the stockade. The pioneers thwarted this scheme and the French and Indians retreated after a 13-day siege.
Spring 1779
Brashear's Station was the first settlement established on the Wilderness Road between Harrodsburg and the Falls of the Ohio. Brashear's Station was a haven for pioneer hunters and travelers. It was built at the mouth of Floyd's Fork near the bank of the Salt River. Founded by William Brashear, a famed woodsman from Maryland, who was killed by Indians, 1781.
1779
Bullitt's Lick established as the site of the first commercial saltworks west of the Alleghenies, with the encouragement of Clark, who needed salt for his campaigns. Salt was critical as it was the only preservative available to use on beef and wild meat. Without salt, an army cannot travel and settlers face starvation when game is scarce. Bullitt's Lick supplied salt for all of Kentucky during this period. The Wilderness Road was deflected miles out of its way in order to reach Bullitt's Lick.
1780
Dowdall's Station on the Salt River, founded by John and James Dowdall and others, as the first ferry across the river.
Aug.
1784
Walker Daniel, first attorney general of Kentucky, and others left Sullivan's Old Station for the Saltworks at Bullitt's Lick, when they were attacked and killed by Indians. Nearby settlers recovered the bodies which were taken to the Saltworks and buried the following day.
May 1789
Hall brothers sell land in Louisa County, VA.
Fall 1789
Hall brothers’ migration to Kentucky?
Feb 1790
Hall brothers on tax list of Fayette County, KY.
1790
Kentucky’s population rises over 73,000.
June 1792
Kentucky, never a territory, becomes the 15th state.
1794-1795
Wayne's victory at the Battle of the Fallen Timber in 1794 and the signing of the Treaty of Greenville in 1795 ended the earlier Indian wars of the Old Northwest and opened for settlement the country beyond the Ohio River, resulting in a great migration into Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky.
1797
Bullitt County, KY formed from Jefferson and Nelson Counties. The county seat, Shepherdsville, was founded by Adam Shepherd on the Salt River. It was chartered in 1793.
1800
Kentucky’s population reaches 220,000, being then nearly as great as that of Connecticut; only one third less than that of Maryland; more than half that of Massachusetts; more than one third that of Pennsylvania; one fourth that of Virginia, and nearly one-fourth that of the two Carolinas.
Aug. 1811
The Wilderness Trail had fallen into disuse. Title to thousands of acres of disputed land depended on rediscovering its location. Summons from the Bullitt Circuit Court were issued for the few remaining settlers who had been familiar with the trace in the early days, including Squire Boone and to Jacob Vanmeter and John Tuel and James Patton, who had come to Corn Island with Clark in 1778. Altogether, more than 20 of these veteran pioneers responded. They walked the old road from the Blue Lick Gap in Bullitt County to the Fern Creek Crossing in Jefferson, pointed out its route to the County surveyor, and related the incidents that had occurred along it. Their depositions were taken by the justices of the peace.

"The Hall family history is intertwined
with the history of Bullitt County, Kentucky. Records
indicate that David Hall purchased 1400 acres of land from the Johnson
family in 1788. This land was located on the waters of Salt River in
Bullitt County, then Nelson County. This land was to be divided
between David Hall and his two brothers, William and Clifton (note name),
and three other relatives, David, Paris, Edmund Stringer and Thomas
Harris.
The Hall brothers are thought to have come from Virginia to
Lexington, KY, then Nelson County, before settling in Bullitt County.
The original acreage covered most of the land from Lloyd's Fork to what is
now Mt. Washington. While most all the land has been sold and
divided among descendants, about 150 acres of the original property is
still in the Hall family today. This property is located on Hall's
Lane on the banks of Floyd's Fork just before the bridge to
Shepherdsville. Still living on the Hall land is Glendon, Shirley and
Emery Hall." From: History of Families of Bullitt Co., KY,
(Turner Publishing Co., Paducah, KY (date unknown) p. 86)
Note: The picture of David Hall's cabin, below; was generously donated from a descendant who still lives on the property.
Will of David Hall
In the name of God, amen, I David Hall of
the County of Bullitt and Commonwealth of Kentucky being in a debilitated
state of health but in my right senses have a desire and do dispossess of
all my property which I am possessed of in the following manner To Wit:
Imprimis: I do give to my
beloved wife Rachel one gray mare and saddle and the bed on which I
am now lying also the house and orchard and the small piece of ground that
I have heretofore cultivated about the house and to be left with her two
tables (?) what of the household furniture that she may deem new if any
for her own use. Wherewith the field which I call my field during
her life and at her death to fall into the estate to be equally divided
among my four after named daughters, the land excepted.
Second: I give and bequeath
unto my two sons William and Asa Hall all the land which I
hold as mine to be divided in the following manner: Begin at Mr.
Stringer's line and run a straight line to the dividing line which now
separates the fields of my son William and the field of my son Asa then
with said fence (?) in a direct line to my spring run then down said run
to McCullock's Run, my said son William to have the Maychen (mansion?)
whereon he now lives. My son Asa to have the Maychen whereon he now
lives.
Third: I give and bequeath
to my daughter Mary King two hundred dollars in the ___ what I have
heretofore given her a memorandum of which may be seen in a small book
where mention is made of what I ever have given her.
Fourth: I do give and
bequeath unto my daughter Nancy Porter two hundred dollars
including what she has which may be seen aforesaid.
Fifth: I do give and
bequeath unto my daughter Barbary Gentry the sum of two hundred
dollars with what I have heretofore given her which may be found as above
mentioned.
Sixth: I give and bequeath
unto Fay Lovelace two hundred dollars including what I have heretofore
given her which may be seen aforesaid.
Seventh: I give and bequeath
to my grandson Asa Porter on cow and calf which I now milk.
Eighth: Now if after the
foregoing bequeaths are made then should still remain property to any
amount whatever I wish it to be equally divided between my four above
mentioned daughters.
Ninth: I do hereby appoint and
approve Alexander King, Nicholas Gentry and Richard Lovelace executors of
this my last will and testament and it is my wish that they shall execute
Deeds to Clifton and Simeon Hall, Simeon Harris and Simeon Hall, Jr. and
witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seals this 9th
day of April in the year of our Lord 1814.

Recorded 3 Jul 1815 Bullitt County Court
Bullitt Co. Deed Book B p. 14 shows the start of a series of deeds that David HALL is doling out to various people.. pieces of a large survey of land - he dispenses of some of it here and I believe that the land mentioned in his will that he asks his executors to divide with what looks to be his brothers
etc. is also part of this survey. A description of what he is doing is included in the deed:
9 Sep 1805 David HALL and Rachel his wife of Bullitt Co., Commonwealth of KY to Richard STRINGER of same... Whereas Richard JOHNSON of the County of Louisa, and Commonwealth of Virginia did on 17 Nov 1788 Convey to the above David HALL a certain tract of land in Bullitt Co. situate on the waters of
Salt River called McCULLOCK's preemption of 1400 acres which had been previously purchased jointly by David HALL, Clifton HALL, William HALL, David PARIS, Edmond STRINGER and Thomas HARRIS and for the convenience of those concerned the land JOHNSON conveyed was purchased by David HALL by deed of
Warantee now the said David HALL wishing to convey to STRINGER his moiety of said land agreeable to their stipulations.. conveys a tract bounded by the lines of David HALL, Clifton HALL and Asa HALL - containing one hundred and two acres more or less.
Signed David HALL
Rachel(X) HALL
Recorded 9 Sep 1805 Bullitt Co.
following this deed David and Rachel convey 50 acres to John PARIS with the same explanation "bordering lands of Blaxton GENTRY, Thomas STRINGER and Edmond STRINGER" Recorded same day next to Thomas STRINGER - same explanation - 95 acres bordering Reuben STRINGER, Blaxton GENTRY and "PARIS".
next to John STRINGER - same explanation - 55 acre more or less bounded by Reuben, Edmon and Thomas STRINGER
next to Blaxton GENTRY - same explanation - 99 acres more or less didn't mention who it was bounded by. All recorded 9 Sep 1805 then on 9 Dec 1805 one with the same explanation to William HALL containing 304 acres - interesting to note though that Rachel does not appear in the signature nor does she release her dower right. Now I knew some of the connections in Bullitt Co. with these families but this appeared to me like a clustering of families from pre-Kentucky who bought this land together and settled here? I watched for other deeds very
close to this one and added one more to the pot even though it did not include the HALLS - it showed the PARIS men with some connections:
9 May 1805 Bullitt Co. Deed Book B p. 61 George BISHOP of Jefferson Co. to Bartlett FOSTER of Bullitt Co. both of the State of Kentucky... bargained & sold a certain tract of land lying in Bullitt Co. on Salt River - no further description except boundaries like dogwood and black oaks - 50 acres for fifty five pounds.

Elizabeth (X) BISHOP
Witnessed by David PARIS, Pleasant PARIS and David PARIS
since the original warrant was Richard JOHNSON I thought him a primary suspect as kinfolk but ugh.. .Richard JOHNSON? Since he so kindly noted his point of origin before he came to Jefferson/Bullitt Co. as Louisa Co. VA I decided to look there - I have access to Louisa Co. marriages - I didn't have time to look at as much as I would have liked but did find the following that does seem to me to point to a long time clustering of families? HARRIS of course is common - but still seen with the context below it looks awfully suspicious?

According to a group sheet I found on GENDEX the Nancy GENTRY who marries Thomas BAILEY above was b. 1762 in Louisa Co. and died after 1848 in Hardin Co. KY and was the sister of Blackston GENTRY. Their mother was Elizabeth STRINGER b. 1730 in Louisa Co. There was also indications in that information that some of these people had some Bedford Co. VA connections? GENTRY researchers may know more about that? moved to KY with his brothers and Edmond Stringer, David Paris and Thomas Harris

Generation Three
William Hall was born about 1785
(according to his tombstone below)
in Virginia, probably in Louisa County? In a biography
on the family that I found in Indiana in a Washington County history book it was stated "The Halls were natives
of Virginia, from which State they moved to Kentucky in a very early day,
and from thence to Indiana in 1818, settling in Washington County." Here
they became prominently connected with the settlement of the county, and
worthy and honored citizens.”
Williamis buried in the
Hall Cemetery, Howard Township, Washington County, Indiana. This
author has been to this cemetery, and the photos on this page are of my
visit. William Hall married Mary "Polly" Thixton, daughter of
"My husband's Thixton ancestor is Mary
"Polly" Thixton born about 1784 in Virginia and died 1847 in Washington
County,
Indiana. She married William Hall February 23, 1805 in Bullitt County,
Kentucky. Mary's father was John Thixton born 1740 in Virginia and died April 1807 in
Bullitt County,
Kentucky. John was married to a woman named Mary (surname unknown to me)
and they had the following children: Mary, Elizabeth Sarah, Rebecca, Joseph,
Abraham, William (named after John's brother who came to Kentucky with
him) and John, III. I believe John, II's parent's were John Thickstun of
New Jersey and Mary Martin.wicwind@adelphia.net

I recently went to Indiana (May 2003) and visited the
Hall Cemetery,
Howard Township, Washington County, Indiana (a very large page
with lots of photos, be patient if working with a "slower" connection). I took pictures of almost all of the stones in the
cemetery, not just the Hall ones. The cemetery is well kept and
there have been a recent burials. The Gilstrap's
intermarried with the Halls and they lived about a mile up the road.
I stopped and photographed the Gilstrap Cemetery too. There are
several Gilstrap children in the Hall Cemetery as well.
William Hall married Mary
“Polly” Thixtonin 2/23/1805 Bullitt County, KY -
they had eight
children:
i.
Rebecca Hall
ii.
John W. Hall
iii
William Hall - from a cousin who descends from a William Hall, b. 1818, and suspects William Hall and Mary Thixton Hall are his parents, I do too. Pictures of his tombstone and his wife's are on the Hall Cemetery page. This William is buried very near William Hall, b. 1785.
William, b. 1818, shows up in the 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 Howard Township, Washington County, IN censuses. The 1850, 1860 and 1870 censuses show his wife to be Phebe or Pheba. She is not shown in the 1880 census. Some information I have shows her to be a Durnil or Dunrell. They were married on 28 Sep 1837, Washington County, Indiana. In fact, you have a shot of her tombstone in your 18th row, the first column.
Some sources show William, b. 1818, to have had a second wife, Lucy C. MCKINNEY, b. ABT 1856, Kentucky, m. 4 Mar 1887, Washington County, Indiana, d. unknown.
William, b. 1818, and Phebe had 10 children. One of these, William A., b. 1849, is in my direct line. He shows up in the 1880 Howard Township and the 1900 Madison Township censuses. He and his wife, Laura E. Mitchell, are buried in Crown Hill Cemetery, Salem, Washington County, Indiana. William A. and Laura had 7 children, one of which was John W. Hall, in my direct line. John W. and his wife, Cora Standish, had 2 children, including my grandfather, Miles A. Hall, Sr.
There may be more information that I have, but I can't put my finger on it right now. Look forward to sharing information with you in the future.

iii.
Bluford Hall, Born 1811 - married
Rachel Gilstrap.
BLUFORD HALL A citizen of Howard
Township, was born in Kentucky on the 22day of April, 1811, being
the third of a family of eight children born to William and Polly (Thixton)
Hall. His parents were natives of Virginia, from which State they
moved to Kentucky in a very early day, and from thence to Indiana in
about 1818, settling in Washington County. Here they became
prominently connected with the settlement of the county, and worthy
and honored citizens. The subject of this sketch had very limited
means of securing an education, but by his energy succeeded in
obtaining enough for the business of life. He remained with his
parents until he attained his twenty-second year, and November 28,
1833, his marriage with Rachel Gilstrap was celebrated, and to this
union were born nine children, four of whom are now living:
Maria
(deceased), Sarah J., John W., David J., Lewis L. (who died in Andersonville Prison), Samantha E. (deceased), Nelson F. (deceased)
and Mary E. He is a member of the Christian Church, and in politics
is a Republican, but is not radical in his views. He is one of the
successful farmers of the county, an upright citizen, and his people
are among the best in the county.
Bluford
and Rachel's tombstones are in the Hall Cemetery in Howard Township,
Washington County, Indiana.

Jackson Hall,
born 1800 ? there is a Jackson Hall buried in the Hall cemetery.
Jackson could have possibly married Sarah Kester and had at least
one son named John Hall who served in the Civil War as noted below.

Generation Four
Nancy Hall was born circa 1805 in
Washington County, Indiana and
married Elisha Wood on
November 11, 1824 in Washington County, Indiana. Elisha was the son of Abraham Wood
and his first wife, ______ Wood (possible first cousin), both of which were originally from Pennsylvania.
Nancy Hall and Elisha Wood had the following children: (birth dates are
from the 1850 Washington County, Jackson Township Census). Nancy
died between the 1840-1850 Census, and I have a feeling it could have
been related to the birth of her last child, Elizabeth, but I am not
certain about this. Nancy Hall and Elisha Wood are more than likely buried at the Mill Creek Cemetery in Washington County, Indiana, picture on left.
Nancy Wood was born June 1, 1824 and died on 3 March 1905 when she was
81 yrs old. In the 1880
Sullivan County, Indiana census, Nancy put down that her mother (Mary
"Polly" Thixton) was born
in Kentucky. Nancy Wood married Elias Bell in
Washington Country, Indiana. On the 1880 Sullivan county census,
Nancy put down that her father, Abraham Wood, was born in Pennsylvania.
Myself in 2002 next to Elias Bell and
Nancy Wood's tombstone in Little Flock Cemetery in Sullivan County, IN.
