General Notes: Husband - [Father] Hallam


The Hallums descended from the middle classes of England, the family there embracing the historian and the poet. From here are descended Governor Helm, of Kentucky, Secretary Bristow, of President Grant's cabinet, President Polk and a long roster on both sides of the waters, who have never broken through the veil of honest obscurity. "Hallam is the proper way to spell the name. The substitution of the 'u' instead of 'a' in the last syllable is a corruption growing out of the freedom incident to backwoods life, and Republican simplicity, where heraldry is lost in the common level."
