  Notes	From RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project: g1694b Revolutionary War Action James Hall bought a farm of 215 acres, Sep. 1771, on Buffalo Creek, in what is now Rockbridge County, VA., the grantors being John Long and his wife Jane. He became a member of Capt. John Murray's company in 1774 and saw service at Point Pleasant where his captian was slain in battle. In 1777, he was made a Captian of Botetourt Militia and led his company to Fort Randolph, which had been erected on the ruins of Fort Blair, at Point Pleasant. (Capt. John Stuart, in his narrative, cited in Thwaites-Kellogg: frontier Defense on the Upper Ohio, 1777-1778, page 159, the name was not John but James, confirmed by court Record. This same James Hall was "charged with suspicion of felony in being concerned in the murder of Chief Cornstalk Indian, his son and two other chiefs of the Indians on the tenth day of November last", by the Rockbridge County Court, April 18, 1778. The case was called 5 times and finally dismissed. Upon his farm, bought in 1771, he erected a stone house which is still standing (as of 1962) in view of the Old Oxford Presbyterian Church. It is said that Capt. Hall lies buried in one of the many unmarked graves in the grave-yard of the church where many members of his family and their families are buried.
