Three Branches in One Picture

Abbott Hall gave me a copy of this picture. It was a surprise to find out people knew each other when I was a teenager and I didn't know much about it. This picture dates to July 1968 and was taken at Abbott and Robert Hall's house in Claremont, CA. On the left is Richard Brian Hall, Abbott Hall's son. Next to him is Alma Ford Ellis, almost 88 years old at the time. In the back is Abbott Hart Kinney Hall, granddaughter of Mabel Ford. In the front is Abbott's daughter, Joanne Turquand Hall. In between them is my grandmother, Aline Ford, aged 74. The young lady in the back right is Aline's granddaughter, Christine Louise Denton. At the right is Colleen Kinney, Mabel Ford's granddaughter and first cousin to Abbott Hall. So everybody in this picture is a descendent of Benjamin Ford and Octavia Lutes. There are two people from the second generation, three from the fourth, and two from the fifth. Joanne was born almost 80 years after Alma.
