My husband's mother's family are Halls and descend from "Mad Jack" in Otterburn.   Have been up to Elsdon and Otterburn and have found out a fair amount about the family.  Also went to Kew and found not only Mad Jack's speech written in pencil and night before he was executed, but also an envelope of bids from people wanting to buy his land some time after it was confiscated.  Have loads of writing on the family back to  John Hall 1735 and a family tree...not done by me showing the connection right back to Mad Jack.  Would love to be in contact with other Hall "chasers"!!!
