??Possibly son of Henry Hall. Assume born cc1620.

Children
Elizabeth, baptised on the 24th of November 1649 at St James
Margaret, baptised on the 6th of April 1651 at St James

Buried
1 18th Sept 1610: Bond of debt of £9 to Matthew Common of Westgate in Weardale by William & Henry Hall of Monkfield
26th Apr 1612: Bond of debt for £3-6s-8d to Matthew Brown of Stanhope by William Hall of Monkfield
These would have to refer to an earlier generation.
2 The Hamsterley registers commence in 1580 but the first mention of Hall is in 1621 despite the evidence in #1 above that the Halls were established in Monkfield since at least 1610.
3 If Abigail was of Monkfield it is difficult to explain why she should have been baptised at Witton. Monkfield is in the parish of St. James, Hamsterley which lies on the route/road to Witton. Alternatively Wolsingham would have been accessible by fording the Wear, or by following the bank to the bridge, much more easily than Witton.
4 This William is supposed to be the brother of
Mrs. Abigail Angus ...
