Ex-d Dd to Jno Adams 6 day of January 1838
1837 - son Charles is born in Kentucky.
1837 - 1840 - Peter and Mahala must have migrated to Lewis County, Missouri sometime during this period (which has been calculated using the birth location of son Charles who was born in Kentucky in 1837 and Lucy who was born in Missouri in 1840).
1840 - daughter Lucy is born in Missouri.
1840 - Peter is 29 / 30 - He can be found listed in the Lewis Co., Missouri census under Peter A. Hall. But there is an error, which now makes sense. This is the findings under his entry
1 male under five
1 male five and under ten
1 male fifteen to twenty
1 female under five
1 female thirty to fourty
Total living in the house - 6
The total of people living in the house and the total of the individual figues does not match. Also, the age of the male fifteen to twenty was apparently not Peter -it was most probably his brother Milton Saunders Hall, who had migrated with his brother Peter's family to Marion County, Missouri. Peter's age should have been ticked for the category of 30 to 40. If you add up all of the people in the house plus Peter who should have been identified, that equals six.
1841, November 10 - In 1841 Peter A. HALL purchased land from the Bureau of Land Management in Lewis Co., MO. The land was 40 acres in the NESW parcel of Block 12 of Section 60-N and 7-W from the 5th Prime Meridian. Charles Adams purchased over 240 acres in the same section, but different blocks in Lewis County, starting in 1835 until 1839.
1842, March 8 - Peter A. Hall married Malinda Chandler on the 8th of Mar 1842 in Lewis County, Missouri. This is the same area where his brother Milton S. Hall was living, who married Vienna Tolle in 1843 in the next county over.
1842 - there was a note at the bottom of the 1850 census that refered to Peter's son Charles. It identified him as idiotic - due to an accidental blow to the head 8 years previous. So he would have had his accident in 1842.
1843 - son Milton T. is born in Missouri. From the marriage information found in Marion / Lewis counties of Missouri, it looks like his mother was Malinda Chandler, Peter's second wife.
1846 - Peter marries Maria T. (Stovall) Cockrell on Oct 4, 1846 in Johnson County, MO, his second wife. She is also found as Mariah T. Doke who married a James Cockrell on March 2, 1837 in Johnson Co., MO. Her marriage to Peter is her third. She was married to a man named Doak in TN and had a son named Jessee who migrated with her and lives with Peter and Mariah. But Jessee is not listed on the later censuses. Don’t know what happened to him.
