Almond H. Hall , Pleasant Valley

One tree said he was the son of Casandar Hall 1849-1876, dying in Brush Creek, Franklin County, Missouri,  and Elizabeth Bishop, and that Casandar's father was David Babcock Hall, 1808, dying 1879 in Leadville, Colorado....

In 1870 "Carander" Hall is 21, with parents David B. 62 and Sophia 51 in Jackson County Ohio.  Siblings are Susanna 18, Francina 14 and David Hall 8.  Henson Brunton , 22

 Casandar and Elizabeth married in 1871 in Franklin County, Missouri, "Cassander Hall, son of David Babcock Hall and Sophia VanDusen married Elizabeth Bishop in Moselle, Franklin, Missouri in 1871. The surname Hall is on the original image but was left off of the transcription." that Elizabeth died Jan 31, 1884 in Franklin County.

Elizabeth's parents are, per a tree, James Jones Bishop and Bitthany Celia Robinson

The tree said Elizabeth married Franklin Barnes Sept 26, 1879 in Franklin County.   Two sisters and a brother were in Franklin County, too.  Nancy married James Richie/ Richey and Amanda married Thomas Gibson.

In 1880 Franklin County, Missouri, Frank 30 Barnes  born in Kentucky, and Elizabeth 28 Illinois, have a "son" "Almon 7, born in Missouri, father in Ohio., mother born in Illinois.

Sarah Elizabeth (Bishop) (Hall) Barnes

 "Daughter of James Jones Bishop and Bethany Celia Robinson. Wife of (1) Cassander Hall and (2) Frank Barnes.

She came to Franklin Co., MO in 1862.
She married Frank Barnes September 26, 1878 and was listed with her family on the 1880 census:

She died aged 32 years, 10 months, 12 days, of pneumonia. Her death was recorded by Franklin County. She was buried at Brush Creek. # 71957359

Her husband Frank died of the same cause a month and a half later and was buried next to Sarah.

Almon(d) is actually her son by her first husband, Cassander Hall."

Almond cash-claimed a quarter in 25, 4N 47W in 1891 - the same year as Joseph Rutzer next to him, and Roudy Cole a mile north.

 

A.H. Hall married Nellie McClellan Sept 12, 1893, recorded in Pitkin County.

Almond Jasper Hall's death record says he was born Oct 26, 1897 in Colorado, mother's name McClellen, and died May 24, 1952 in Los Angeles.

In 1900 Eagle County, Almond Hall is a farm laborer born Nov 1871 in Missouri, married to Millie seven years, April 1875 Iowa.  Elizabeth  Nov 1894 and Almond J. Dec 1897 both born in Iowa.

The "Allen" Hall in 1880 Hickory County, Missouri, born in 1871 - had parents born in Arkansas, so it's not likely.

Next household in the 1900 census is William Hall Dec 1837 Ohio and Mary   Aug 1846  Ohio, a possible uncle.

From a post by Maureen Brook

Maurice HOFFMAN, Occupation - prospector married Francina HALL. Their children were Julius, Theresa, Robert "Burtie", and Ida

Francina HALL's brothers were Almond, Casandar and David

Nelson Downey proved up 121 acres in 8, 8S 85W in 1894.

The Downey family is in Eagle County in 1900.  Probably that's why her father David was in Leadville.
