1 A

Eleanor Stuart, daughter of Archibald, Sr and her Descendants (1)

Eleanor was married on April 24 1744 to Edward Hall; his father was Isaac Hall and his mother Sarah Atkinson Hall. The Halls came from Armagh County, Ireland, in 1736. The Hall land adjoined the Stuart land in Augusta. Eleanor Stuart inherited from her father land about five miles from the present city of Waynesboro, and adjoining the land Mr. Hall inherited from his father. South River flowed thru the property. Mr. And Mrs. Hall built a substantial log house on their farm about 1743. It was still standing and in good condition in 1873 but has since been torn down. Records are not entirely clear as to the number of children Mr. And Mrs. Hall had. Seven are mentioned in their wills. Mr. Hall's will was admitted to record Sept. 20, 1795; his wife's will was admitted to record Oct. 25, 1802. Some records indicate Mr. and Mrs. Hall had eight children. We record such information as we have.

She, her husband, her father (Emphraim McDowell, then very aged), and her brother, John McDowell, were on their way to Beverley Manor; camped on Linvel's Creek (the spring before her brother James had raised a crop on South River in Beverley Manor, above Turk's,
near Wood Gap); there Benj. Borden came to their camp and they conducted him to his grant which he had never seen, for which Borden proposed giving 1,000 acres. They went on to the house of John Lewis, near Staunton, who was a relative of Ephraim McDowell. Relates the Milhollin story. They were the first party of white settlers in Borden's Grant. In two years there were more than 100 settlers. Borden resided with a Mrs.
Hunter, whose daughter afterwards married one Guin, to whom he gave the land whereon they lived. Her brother John was killed about Christmas before her son Samuel (first of the name) was born (he was born April, 1743). Benj. Borden, Jr., came into the grant in bad plight and seemed to be not much respected by John McDowell's wife, whom Benj. afterwards married. Jno. Hart had removed to Beverley Manor some time before deponent moved to Borden's. Joseph Borden had lived with his brother Benj.; went to school, had the smallpox about time of Benj's. death. When he was about 18 or 19 he left the grant, very much disliked, and dissatisfied with the treatment of his brother's wife. Beaty was the first surveyor she knew in Borden's grant. Borden had been in Williamsburg, and there in a frolic Gov. Gooch's son-in-law, Needier, has given him his interest in the grant. Borden's executor, Hardin, offered to her brother James all the unsold land for a bottle of wine to anyone who would pay the quit rents, but James refused it because he feared it would run him into jail. This was shortly after Margaret Borden married Jno. Bowyer. John Moore settled in the grant at an early day, where Charles Campbell now lives.

Taylor was killed by the falling of a tree shortly after the marriage. Miller removed and his land has been in possession of Telford. Deponent's daughter Mary was born May, 1745. McMullen was also an early settler; he was a school teacher and had a daughter married. John Hays's was the first mill in the grant. Quit rents were not exacted for 2 years at the instance of
