©ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

It is with great pleasure and deep appreciation that we acknowledge all who have given assistance in the publication of this work. There is much more data available though we have been unable to obtain it to date, but hope many more will send information to complete what has been started.

There are far too many to add all the names here, but we do especially want to thank Charles John Hall, author of “The Hess Family in America” for all of his research and correspondence and the major contributor to the Charles Robert Hall ancestry; to Jean Hall for the her art work; to Whrelda Jane Pittman, Fulton County, Pennsylvania, Historian; to Glenn Cordell for opening and making available the library of the Fulton County Historical Society; to John and Pat Anderson for their research; to the late Vivian Holloway of California, Missouri for the location of the Allee Cemetery and other hard to find grave sites; to Betty Dick George for locating Gooch’s Mill, Missouri and other locations that no longer exist; and to the late John W. Bull for the valuable information on the Bull ancestry. Last but not least my husband Lemuel for his patience and support.
