[* This seems to be the same John A Hall as in the 1880 census.  He was listed as Farmer instead of a Physician and drug store owner.  He could have farmed, too.  Everything else matches with him and his wife.]

     [In the 1880 census, John A was listed with a disability.  He was listed again in the 1900 census, but his wife, Minnie,
was listed as a widow in the 1910.]

     Note:  See this site.    It lists two John A Hall's that was in the Civil War  that were from Alabama.  Since he was listed with a disability, I assume he was injuried in the war and was one that
was listed.

    Note to check:  Wednesday, August 01, 2006: FH Library in Salt Lake City. A copy of the marriage certificate of John A. Hall  and Minnie Marcus was found. Married 30 Sep 1879 in Marion Co., Texas. It states that he was a doctor.  It doesn't give us any additional info than was already known.  John and Minnie's names were first found in Family Search showing her maiden name as Marcus and listing their marriage date and place.

    Note check:  On the death notice of their son Barney Hall, John's wife's, Minnie, maiden name was listed as Yarbrough. See son's death notice notes.   I am wondering now if there were two John A Halls with the same birth date and place???  We may have assumed that her name was Marcus since Barney's middle name is Marcus.  Check this out.  Minnie's name will list as Yarbrough until proof is found. ??????  Also found the following:"Handbook of Commerce, Texas - 1872-1985. (976.4272/C1 H2h) (p. 89)
Hall, J. A. (Doc.). Early druggist. The Corner Drug Store, located at 1224 Main Street, was operated by J. A. Hall. In
addition to prescription drugs, Mr. Hall sold patent medicines and artists' supplies. (Helen Douglas)
    (p.114 under Mayors of Commerce)J. A. Hall, 1907 (died in office).[Note: This gives us the year of his death.]  In the same book in the back section under the title of: Handbook of Commerce, Texas - 1906 (Listed under leading businesses - page 21)
J. A. Hall & Co., drugs and stationery, old phone 138, new phone 44.

    Note:  John's mother's brother died the same year as John did.  See notes under his name for his obit.
William McKendree George Randle was born in DeKalb County, Georgia, May 5, 1830, and died in Hunt County, Texas, October 10, 1907.
                  

                       CENSUS
     In the 1880 US Census William (age 17 and in school) was listed as a brother to John A. Hall along with his mother,
     Mary, and John's wife, Minnie.

    In the Commerce Journal (1906) in his mother's obit he was not listed as a survivor, but it says hosts of relatives.

Note:  It appears that William M. Hall may have been named after his mother's brother:
William McKendree George Randle was born in DeKalb County, Georgia, May 5, 1830, and died in Hunt County, Texas, October 10, 1907.  He could have also been named after his father's brother, William M. Hall listed in the 1860 census. There was another possible brother, George B. Hall. listed also living next door to Barnabas and Mary with his family.
