     Dennis W. Iddings Listed as Dennis W. Hall in the death register. Apparently lived with Thomas Iddings (his grandfather) according to the 1870 Census, after the death of his parents - perhaps that is why his last name is listed as Iddings instead of Hall, or perhaps Henry Hall was not really his father. He was born on May 28, 1854 at Floyd Co., Virginia.2,1 He married Sarah Jane "Sally" Stump, daughter of Cebret Stump, on April 7, 1874 at Floyd Co., Virginia.2 Dennis W.
