     William Hall was born c 1735 possibly in ?Hounam, ROX, SCT.1 He and Jane Stevenson were estimated to have married bef. 1760 ?Hounam, ROX.1
     William Hall died on 17 Mar 1817 at Morebattle, ROX, SCT; aged 82.1 He and Jane Stevenson are buried at Hounam, ROX, SCT, #50 reads: IMO William Hall, who died at Morebattle 17.3.1817 aged 82 yrs, also Jane Stevenson his spouse who died 4.1.1825 aged 82 yrs. also Isabella Hall their daughter spouse to James Wight joiner Morebattle who died ?. 7.1816 aged ? yrs. James Hall their son who died 8.11.1821 aged 16 yrs (assumed to be son of James Wight and Isabella Hall given his age, with Hall being a forename. Possibly the transcription is a tad wrong and James is Isabella's brother, eg his age might be 46? I have concluded, for now that his name is James Hall Wight but this gives me another problem in that I already have them with a son James born c 1805, but dying in 1878. More work needed.).1,2,3
