| James Blaine "Blainey" Hall was born 17 January 1886 or 1889 (records differ on the year), Baltimore, Maryland; died March 1975, Baltimore, Maryland (I don't have the exact date). I've found his World War I & World War II draft cards (online), plus his record in the Social Security Death Index. Reply to this message

| Hi - Blaine Hall was born in Oella, MD. His mother, Sarah was my mother's great aunt. I am researching my TREE and plugged in his name. My mother refers to him as "Cousin Blaine". Are you related to anyone with the surname Cole, Lincoln. Reply to this message

| Hi!
Do you have the dates that he was born and died? I was born and raised in Oella. My Grandfather was a Cole we lived on the land that he owned in Oella. I knew a man named Blaine. He (if hes the one your looking for) was my cousin Blaine. Thats what I called him when I was a little girl. His mothers name was Sarah and she was my mothers Great Aunt.
I have a date and some information that i found on line. Im not sure if hes the James Blaine Hall that your looking for.
Born 1886or 1889 and died 3/1975. I will inquire to find more information for you if you think hes the same James Blaine!
I dont know whether you saw this posting or not from Gary Ashwill who is also looking for James Blaine but maybe his info. will be helpful to you. Ok email me and if i find any more information ill let you know.

| HISTORY OF OELLA
Oella is world known as the community where the first Black man of Science, Benjamin Banneker was born and reared, however, this book clearly notes that Banneker was not the only free African American in the mill town of Oella; as a matter of fact, there were free African Americans in Oella many years before Banneker came into the picture.
There was Shadrick Hall who was freed from slavery in Oella by Walter Hall in 1690, and given 13 1/2 acres of land, on which descendants of his family still resides on; and there was another slave by the name of Brown who was freed from slavery in Oella by Mrs. Mary Williams in 1786, and given 10 acres of land on which descendants of his family still resides on.
In addition, there is an African American church in Oella named Mt. Gilboa AME Church that was built around 1799, and is still active in the community. Reverend Edmunds from Oella. He was the pastor of an African American church in Ellicott City. He lived to be over 100 years of age.
Three of the five homes on Oella Avenue in Oella that was built by an African American, William H. Washington from Catonsville. His great grandson, Louis (Bunky) Diggs resides in one of the homes that he built in 1910.
Ms. Zola Cryenian (Susan) Saunders, a Hall descendant, who has done extensive genealogical research on the Halls. She still resides in Oella, home of her ancestors from 1690.
Sarah,this might be helpful also. My email is baalark1@yahoo.com
