Elijah Hall

Update on Brick Wall ancestor: 
Elijah Hall born 1809 in New York.
He married 1839, Nancy Cummings at the Presbyterian Church in Amenia, Dutchess County, New York.
Amenia Historical Society record mentions,
Josiah S. Hall's birth parents as James Hall and Elizabeth Collins. She was married twice, Benjamin Church is her second husband. 
Need DNA help to further the Hall line.


Have not found birth records for Elijah or Nancy Cummings or
Josiah Hall.
Any leads appreciated, New York and Connecticut and Massachusetts locations have been thoroughly searched.

I've contacted a Bates cousin and he  produced the Photograph of Mary Hall Bates from his Grandma Una Bates
Smith, descendant of Frank Bates and wife Frances of the Wallingford Bates line. 

Still seeking birth record for Mary Hall wife of our Reuben Bates, she was the only wife and daughter of Elijah Hall. We didn't find their marriage record.
Seeking records for our for James Hall.
