I Hannah Smith do make, ordain, and publish this my last will and testament.
I give to my daughter Nancy Nevitt and to my son Samuel Smith, or the survivor, the Acker Tract of land containing 201 acres, more or less, bounding lands formerly owned by John Carpenter and others. Being the tract conveyed by Wm Acker to my late husband, Robert Smith and by his heirs to my son James M. Smith and by my said son to me. To have and to hold to them and to their heirs, upon the following trusts-
To wit- In trust for the joint use and benefit of my son James M. Smith and his wife, Palmyra Smith, and the children of my said son, which includes not only those now in existence but such as may hereafter be born unto him. To allow my said son, and his wife and children, to occupy, use, possess, and enjoy the rents and profits thereof, which shall not be liable for the debts of my said son and wife and children but shall be held as a home for their family, if desired as a home, but if not, then the produce thereof to be used in their maintenance and support for and during the life of my said son, and his wife, and for the life of the survivor, when one of them dies, and after the death of both my said son and his wife, then the said trustees or the survivor if (can) be dead, shall be authorized to sell the said land when all the children shall be of age of 21 years and divide the proceeds equally among them, and should any of said children be dead, leaving issue, then the issue to take their parents share as under our statute of distributions, to the remotest descendant.
And should any of said children leave home during the life of my said son and his wife, or the survivor, the said land shall be held by said trustees for the benefit of only such, as remains at home with the parents or parent, so as to be a benefit only for the family during said time.
I will give and direct that the residue of my estate of all kinds be equally divided among all of my living children and the children of any that may be dead, or grandchildren, or other issue to the remotest descendant, as the law would give it to them under the statute of distribution now in force in this state. And I appoint my son-in-law R.Q.Anderson guardian for his children, who take one share among them, and I appoint Jeremiah Browne and J L Clinksclaes Guardian of the minor children of my daughter Elvira Browne who take one share among them. Should my daughter Lucinda Anderson be dead I appoint David Anderson the Guardian of her minor children who take one share among them if their mother is dead. And by one share I mean a child's part or as much as a living child takes.
And I charge up to my said children, or to their issue, the advancements which I make to them in my life time, which I may at some future time write out against them so as to fix the amount.
Lastly,
I nominate, constitute, and appoint my nephew Joseph N Brown & my son-in-law David Anderson executors of this my last will and testament, with power to sell all properties for division, execute the deeds, and in all respects carry out the provisions of this my will without proceedings of law.

26. Fenton6 Hall Sr. ((--?--), #29)71 was born in 1746 at Halifax County, VA.72 He married Hannah Brown (see #27) in 1773.72 He died circa 1817 at Pendleton District, SC, Death information from Anderson County Will Book A 1800-1835, pp21-213 1817. Will dated 20 Nov 1809, proven 25 Mar 1817.72,73
He From Roland Hall (Jan, 2000):
Roland shared a very large GEDCOM file on family research on the Hall ancestry. Research indicated that Fenton Hall, Sr was son of William Hall, Jr. and Eliizabeth Choice. Further data links this line back to a Dr. Richard Hall. Subsequent to receiving Roland's data, I received additional corresponsence from Wynell Simpson who indicates that there are still questions with this family line and he has been trying to confirm relationships and correct errors for years. I am leaving my line at Fenton Hall, Sr. until issue is resolved.72 He From Wynell Simpson (Mar, 2000):
"This William Hall and Ann Matthews are probably NOT the ancestors of Fenton, Nathaniel, John, and Sarah Hall.
This was published in the WFT Vol. 5 which was based on SPECULATION. Even the WFT Vol. 5 author says it is SPECULATION. However, no one seems to read that word. The SPECULATION was from Lillie Hall Antonakas who herself said that it was SPECULATION.
After many years of investigating this I and others cannot make it fit. There was a William Hall who married Ann Matthews, but nothing about it says it is the same William Hall who may be the ancestor of the siblings Fenton, Nathaniel, John, and Sarah.
May I add that a William Hall has NOT been proven to be the father of Fenton, Nathaniel, John, and Sarah Hall. "74 He From Family Anecdotes:
"See notes on Lyman Hall, who was a signer of the Declaration of Indepenence from Georgia. Family history indicates he may have been present at the Hall house the night one of Fenton's children was born? Lyman was supposedly on the way to Philadelphia at the time. Lyman Hall had no children, so not directly related."75 He From Wynell Simpson (Mar, 2000):
"There has never been any hint or suggestion that the Fenton Hall line is anyway connected to Lyman Hall.
No one ever mentioned it in the early documents on this Hall family. They should have known. I am afraid this is just another bit of misinformation that this Hall family is plagued with.
If someone knows of any, please post it."74 He From Wynell Simpson (Mar, 2000):
"It is highly unlikely that Fenton Hall's mother was Elizabeth Choice. Elizabeth Choice was born about 1750. Fenton Hall was born about 1750 also. Elizabeth Choice would be the same age as her children. Some people have noticed this and tried to give her an earlier birthdate, but that just does not fit with the other children of Tully Choice who was her father.
The birthdates of Tully Choice SR's children are from the DAR records for Tully Choice SR. His children were all born after 1749.
It is true that Elizabeth Choice did marry a William Hall, but not the William Hall who may be the father of Fenton, Nathaniel, John, and Sarah. There were several William Halls in the area and some much closer to Tully Choice than the William who may be the father of Fenton Hall.
The father of the siblings has not been proven. He may we a William Hall or he may not be.
This misinformation has been turned in to the LDS which makes it very hard to overcome. "74 He lived in 1802 at First Creek of Rocky River, SC, based on fact that he bought 150 acres of land from Israel Pickens for $150, on First Creek of Rocky River in deed signed 10 Feb 1802.76 He left a will on 20 Nov 1809 at Anderson County, SC; and the will was proven 25 Mar 1817 and witnessed by Harbert Tucker, William Pickens, and James Hodge. Executors were his sons, Johnston and Fenton. In the will he left furniture, 3 negroes, and farm tools to his wife, Hannah.76,77
