***************************
Virginia, or Jennie as she was commonly called, was the daughter of Thomas and Lydia Taylor of Jackson County, Missouri. Though most of her siblings were born in Jackson County, Jennie's mom reported in 1850 that Jennie had been born in Ohio. Since Lydia was born in Ohio, and she reported in the deposition she gave the Union Army after she was arrested at Westport that she still had family in Ohio, I believe she may have been home visiting temporarily or something when she had Jennie.
Virginia and her mom and siblings were among the women and children who had their homes burned and were imprisoned by Union Soldiers at the Gratiot St. Prison in Saint Louis, Missouri during the Civil War, being used as pawns in an attempt to control their men, who were loyal to the Confederate side. Most of the men in the family that were old enough were already "in the bush", or had gone to other states to fight with the Confederate army.
After the war, Jennie married William Lee Hall, a Jackson County native, on August 6, 1868. They migrated, along with many other relatives and friends, to Tarrant County, Texas. (Her brother-in-law John Bateman is also buried here, and possibly others.) Her little brother John Thomas, who was about 13 when they were imprisoned, was my great-great grandfather. He and some of the other siblings migrated to Kansas. Some went to Indian Territory that became Oklahoma.
