Names of the Hall Descendents

Many alternate spellings of the name showed in the manuscripts researched. The name,"Hall", occurred in many references, and from time to time, the records included variablessuch as Hall, Halle, Haule, Haul, Hal, De Aula, Hale, Haw, and many others. Scribesrecorded and spelled the name as it sounded. It wasn't unlikely that a person would beborn with one spelling, married with another, and buried with yet another.
