William Hall (governor)
William Hall (February 11, 1775 – October 7, 1856) was an American politician who served as the seventh Governor of the state of Tennessee from April to October 1829. Hall ascended to the office when Governor Sam Houston resigned amidst a scandal, and, as Speaker of the Tennessee Senate, he was the first in the line of succession. After finishing Houston's term, he did not seek reelection. Hall had previously served in the Tennessee state legislature, both in the House and Senate. Following his brief term as governor, he served one term in the United States House of Representatives.〔
==Early life==
Hall was born in Surry County, North Carolina, the son of Major William Hall and Elizabeth Thankful Doak. In 1779, the family moved to the New River Valley of Virginia. In 1785, they moved again, this time to a tract of land that would eventually be known as "Locustland," near modern Castalian Springs, Tennessee.〔Jay Guy Cisco, ''(Historic Sumner County, Tennessee )'' (1909, reprinted 2009), pp. 255-262.〕 Locustland would remain Hall's residence for much of the remainder of his life.〔
The Cherokee–American wars were raging at this time, and the Sumner County area north of Nashville was particularly vulnerable. On June 3, 1787, William's brother, James, was killed as the two were ambushed as they walked through a field, though William managed to escape. Two months later, as the family was moving its possessions into nearby Bledsoe's Station in anticipation of a Chickamauga Cherokee attack, they were again ambushed. William's brother, Richard, brother-in-law, Charles Morgan, and father were killed. William, along with his mother and two younger siblings, John and Prudence, managed to make it into the fort.〔Albert Goodpasture, (Indian ''Wars and Warriors of the Old Southwest'' ); "Tennessee Historical Magazine;" Vol. 4, No. 2; June, 1918; pp. 122-124; accessed at Archive.org, September 21, 2012.〕
