From Kegley’s VIRGINIA FRONTIER p 611
“Asa and Jesse Hall, his brother, came from New York to the Roanoke Valley in Virginia about 1790. They acquired land on the North Fork of the Roanoke (River) by purchase and by Grant. Asa was twice married first to Sarah Adams (9 children) and second to Mary Vanover (4 children). Asa is buried at Hall’s Church in Ironto, Virginia.”

The Fincastle Resolutions Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, Roanoke, Virginia, has placed a Patriot’s Plaque on the tombstone of Asa Hall.

Currently, six members of the Alleghany Chapter NSDAR are descendants of Asa Hall. A past Regent of Alleghany Chapter NSDAR has also met two DAR sisters from West Virginia who are descended from Asa Hall.
