2. John C Hall
Most of the information on the children of Mary Polly Gray and John C Hall has come to me from Kay Humphreys Dias. She states that the Nathan O Gray who married Mildred and then Mary Hall was the son of Nathan O and Elizabeth Fowler Gray. She then states that Caroline Hall was the daughter of Nathan O and Lydia Green (Gray) Gray. I think there is some confusion about the Nathans, but I haven't done the research to sort it out yet.
