Curious naming of Mary Ann Williams Hall's son - Elisha Prescott Hall. There is only a single Elisha Prescott in the country before then, a veteran of Revolutonary War from NH who moved to Maine. Perhaps Mary's father met him during the war - http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tnlincol/geneal/yeager.txt
"John Williams, the maternal great-grandfather of Hugh B. Yeager and the father of Lucy Yeager, was an Englishman who came to America and settled in Virginia before the Revolutionary War. He was in that war for eight years and also was at the surrender of Cornwallis." [kdd - this is John Williams of SC. Public member tree here - http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/13987841/person/36204249. He had daughters Sarah and Mary, but mother's name differs ]
