[edit]The Biographical Directory of the United States Congress has some points in its biography of Hall which contradict the official Tennessee Blue Book. The material in the Congressional version is more in keeping with the biography published by the Memphis State University Press, and also makes more sense in one instance: the Blue Book verison has has Hall achiving the rank of Brigadier General in the Creek War prior to his election to the state House for the first time when he was only 23. While possible, the idea that he was made such in the War of 1812 after his service in the state House (and before his service in the state Senate) makes much more sense.

Political party
[edit]William Hall would best be characterized as a "Jacksonian Democrat". Hall likely would have identified his political affiliation as a "Republican" until the 1920s, as a "Democratic-Republican" during the 1920s, and later simply as a "Democrat" once the split-off party had become firmly established.
