The Genealogy of the Hall Family from Bristol.

John Hall Born about 1686. Married to Elizabeth Shewring (born about 1680), daughter of Daniel Shewring and Elizabeth Freind.  Her identity has been derived by Hazlehurst Beezer from the will, dated 1741, of her son George Hall, and confirmed from her father's own will.

A.

George Webb Hall. Baptised 15th April 1765. Died about 22nd April 1824. Will (short and genealogically uninformative) dated 14th February 1824 and proved 1st April 1824. Farmer, solicitor and leading anti Corn Laws protester. Ian Anderson writes "In 1802 George Webb Hall of Sneed Park, Bristol, invested GBP 5,000 in a flock of 400 pure merino sheep and crossed them with Rylands with excellent results. The idea was not to supersede the use of Spanish [i.e. Merino type] wool but to counteract the spirit of monopoly which prevailed in the trade and in case relations with Spain were broken off".   A prominent and energetic Bristol citizen, he also "turned the first sod to begin the construction of the project of making Bristol a non tidal port, on the 1 May 1803. The day the project was completed, in 1809, a huge feast was thrown with two roast oxen, a mountain of potatoes, six hundred weight of plum pudding and a gallon of slingo (strong beer) each. The press gang had to be called to quell the resulting fighting."
Later he became Chairman Agricultural Associations in Great Britain. GWH died, according to a newspaper report dated 11 March 1824,  of a head injury received when he fell off a horse. It seems he survived after that accident for about three weeks, though the fact that he had drawn up his will a few weeks earlier suggests that he may already have been unwell. Married St Nicholas, Bristol 14th April 1792 Maria Gresley (born 1767: died 28th September 1825), eldest daughter of John and Maria Gresley.

3. George Webb Hall. Born Abbot's Leigh, Bristol 28th August 1796. Died (unm) Sneed Park 3rd December 1843. Will signed 13th November 1836 and proved by the oath of his executor and brother John Robert Hall 13th January 1844. He took over the management of his father's farm in 1824 and fiercely advocated the merits of the Merino sheep type. However, possibly on account of a distant volcanic eruption, the English climate was harsh in the 1820s, and he was finally forced to switch to a hardier sheep breed. His will stipulates he be buried at Lewin's Mead congregation's burial ground.

Married Harriet Thompson (born 1798, died 1st August 1885) The excellent Walkabout Travel website includes the following: "George Hall Peppin and his two sons were experienced English sheep breeders who settled at ... Wanganella station [near Deniliquin, NSW] in 1858. Dissatisfied with the yield and quality of wool from the merino, they channelled their efforts into developing a new breed that was better adapted to Australian conditions, larger of frame and able to yield a greatly improved quality and quantity of wool. Their successes constitute the foundation of Australia's reputation as a quality wool exporter. Peppin sheep now predominate among the flocks of South Africa, New Zealand and South America and 60-85 % of Australian merinos have Wanganella blood." It has been alleged that he emigrated in order to get away from his creditors in England.
