From *English Origin of Samuel, Thomas and Martha Hale*, by Donald Lines Jacobus, prepared for Edgar Francis Waterman, Hartford (Finlay Bros) 1967 (pamphlet of 7 pages; a kind of addendum to *Hale, House and Related Families* by Waterman & Jacobus, 1952): "Thanks to an acute study made by S. Allyn Peck, Esq., of New York City, the parentage of these three Hales [Samuel, Sr., brother Thomas, sister Martha] was discovered, and he most kindly published the results in 1962 in The American Genealogist* (vol. 38, pp. 237-239). ..... (P) The ancestry of another Hale immigrant, Thomas Hale of Newbury, Mass., has been known since 1881, when the Hon. Robert S. Hale, LL. D., published it in the *New England Historical and Genealogical Register* (vol. 35, pp. 367-376). This was based on the research of Col. Joseph L. Chester, one of the most competent and trustworthy genealogists of that era. The clue to the origin of that Thomas Hale was found in a letter written from London in 1637 to (Gov.) John Winthrop the elder by Francis Kirby, to be delivered by Kirby's "near kinsman," Thomas Hale. Following that clue, Thomas Hale was identified by Colonel Chester as baptized in Watton at Stone, Hertfordshire, on 15 June 1606, son of Thomas and Joan (Kirby) Hale, and nephew of the Francis Hale who wrote the letter. (P) Nearly thirty years later, in 1910, the marriage of Thomas Hale, the Newbury settler, in London, as well as the marriage of his parents, Thomas Hale, and the marriage of Joan Kirby's parents, also at Watton, were discovered by another eminent genealogist in the Anglo-American field, Henry . Waters, and published in the *Register* (vol. 64, p. 186). (P) The origin of Thomas Hale, the glover, of Newbury, Mass., is detailed above because it has an important bearing on the origin of the Hale group with which we are concerned. Dr. Hale, at the conclusion of his article in 1881 on the origin of Thomas of Newbury, referred to the fact that others of the name settled in Massachusetts and Connecticut, but concluded: "There is no evidence that any of these were of kin to Thomas of Newbury; *certainly none were nearly related to him [the italics are ours {i.e., Jacobus's}]. Mr. Peck, however, was not deterred by the alleged certainty. He searched the registers of Watton at Stone and found in them the baptisms of some other Hale children, including two brothers and a sister named Thomas, Samuel and Martha, whose ages agree reasonably well with those of our Connecticut group. ..... [Records are quoted, and follopwing conclusions made] It will be seen that John and Martha Hale had five recorded children, of whom Abraham died at the age of eight. Of the eldest son John, we have at present no further record. The mother of this group is believed to be the "Goodwife" Hale who died in 1628, because the wife of the elder Thomas Hale (the mother of Thomas of Newbury) survived that date and remarried. The other three children are Thomas 1610, Samuel 1615, and Martha 1618. (P) These baptismal dates fit well the known history of the Connecticut Hale brothers and sisters. In the case of Samuel, indeed, we have record of a deposition he made at Wethersfield on 8 Mar. 1679/80, in which he stated his age as 65 years, which is virtually in agreement with the baptismal date at Watton. Winthrops's entry when he treated Martha for illness on 23 Mar. 1666/7 states her age as 45 years. If born in December 1618, the month of her baptism, she would have been over 48 years. Sometimes patients probably told the doctor their precise ages, but at other times he may have estimated their ages, and 45 is a "round figure" and need not taken as precise. As Mr. Peck so well expressed it, the discrepancy "is within the range of our acceptance and indulgence." [Discreetly, Jacobus doesn't mention the possibility that Martha was lying about her age.] For Thomas Hale, eldest of the three, we lack a statement of age from American records. He arrived at Roxbury, Mass., by 1634, as an adult, and by the baptismal date would then have been 24 years old, which fits the circumstances of his career very well. ..... (P) [Evidence based on the fact that these three Hales were born in the same parish as Thomas Hale of Newbury, and on use of family first names; also evidence, though not conclusive, that John Hale, father of our three (Thomas, Samuel, Martha) was brother of a senior Thomas Hale who was father of the Thomas Hale of Newbury, so our three and the latter Thomas Hale were first cousins] (P) It seems clear that the Hale family of Watton at Stone, Hertfordshire, was of the yeoman class and in comfortable circumstances. All of the emigrant Hales from Watton made commendable records in their New England homes. The brothers Thomas and Samuel, while at Hartford, served in the Pequot War of 1637. The two were among the founders of Norwalk, Conn., though neither remained there; Samuel served that town as Deputy at five sessions of the Connecticut General Court. Samuel returned to Wethersfield, which his father-in-law had served as its first pastor, and he represented that town also as Deputy at one session, ending his life in that part of the town across the Connecticut River which had become Glastonbury. The first wife of Thomas Hale, who later settled in Charlestown, had been an apprentice girl, but the Rev. John Eliot assures us that they both "lived well approved by the saints." Martha Hale's husband, Paul Peck, was a deacon of the First Church in Hartford. (P) We, their descendants, honor their memory."


"Samuel Hale came to this Colony at a very early period. He was at Hartford, in 1637, and a soldier in the Pequot war, for which he received a "lot in the soldier's field." In 1639, he owned land in Hartford, on the east side of the river, but in 1643, he was a resident in Wethersfield. In 1655, he resided in Norwalk, but returned to Wethersfield, in 1660, though he did not sell all his property there before 1669. While residing in Norwalk, Mr. H. represented that Town in the General Court in 1656, 7 and 60. After his return to Wethersfield, he hired the Gov. Welles estate of the "Overseers;" and which, from the testimony in a case of damage for want of repairs, tried in 1671, appears to have been on the East side of the river. It may serve to throw light upon the conveniencies of those days, to mention that this house had no stairs leading into the chamber, the second story being reached by means of a ladder. His wife's name was Mary."

"SAMUEL HALE was our first American ancestor, born in England A. D. 1610 (Middletown Upper Houses, Grafton Press, N. Y. City, p. 166). [P] The exact date of his coming to America is not known, but he is known to have been a settler at Hartford, Conn., in 1637 and that he bought land on the east side of the river Connecticut in 1639. He served in the Pequot war, with his brother Thomas, for which he received a lot in the Soldiers' Field (Glastonbury for 200 Years, p. 166, Hartford, 1885) and a grant of fifty acres was made to his heirs "for his services in the Pequot Warre" (Colonial Records, Conn. p. 423). In 1643 he resided in Weathersfield [sic], Conn., moving to Norwalk, where he lived in 1655. While living in Norwalk he represented that town in the General Court in 1656, 1657 and in 1660 (Colonial Records, Conn., 1656-65, pp. 282, 288, 298). He returned to Weathersfield in 1660, living in that part now Glastonbury (set off in 1692), where he is reputed as having been a leading man. Died Glastonbury, Conn, Nov. 9, 1693. His wife's given name was Mary, thought by some to have been Mary Wells, but her maiden name is not certainly known. [P] His ancestry is not definitely known, but at the time when the settlement of New England was begun there were in England at least three large families of Hales in different parts of the Kingdom, viz.: the Hales of Kent, the Hales of Hertford and the Hales of Gloucestershire, and it is believed that Samuel of Hartford was descended from one of these (Appendix, Letter G). [P] Contemporary with Samuel Hale in this country, was Thomas Hale of Newbury, Mass., and Dea. Robert Hale of Charleston, Mass., 1630, and from these three all the Hales of New England stock are descended. They are not known to have been related, the Thomas Hale of Newbury not being the Thomas spoken of as having served in the Pequot war with his brother Samuel (Appendix, Letter G).

"THE SAMUEL HALE FAMILY OF GLASTONBURY. The family of Samuel Hale of Wethersfield, Connecticut, has never been completely set forth, and the account of early generations compiled by the late Seymour Morris, Esq., contains some manifest errors. (P) We are concerned with Connecticut Hales, a large majority of whom belong to the Glastonbury family. Our plan is to follow the descendants of Samuel Hale so far as they lived in Connecticut, and to drop those branches which removed from the state if they prove difficult to trace. (P) Two brothers and a sister were the first Hales to settle in Connecticut. These were Samuel of Wethersfield, Thomas, and Martha (wife of Deacon Paul Peck). The proof of their relationship is found in Winthrop's mention of Mrs. Peck, and an account of her and her children and grandchildren will follow the genealogy of Samuel Hale and his descendants and of Thomas Hale and his descendants. An appendix will be devoted to the smaller family units of the Hale surname which came into Connecticut: the Suffield-Longmeadow family of Timothy Hale; the Coventry family of Deacon Richard Hale (father of the patriot Nathan); the Guilford famkily of Zebulon Hale; and the Heald-Hale group of Springfield, Massachusetts, in which we have included the New Haven-Derby family of Samuel Hale. (P) Our account is based largely on public records, with some items drawn from printed sources. Acknowledgement is made for some helpful items to the Hale data collected by the late Horace Dickerman, of Miami, Florida, which he gave to the New Haven Colony Historical Society, and to the Hale collection of the late Charles R. Hale of Hartford, Connecticut, at the Connecticut State Library."
---Donald Lines Jacobus and Edgar Francis Waterman, *Hale, House and Related Families, Mainly of the Connecticut River Valley*, Hartford, CT (Connecticut Historical Society) 1952, p. 3.

From the same, p. 3-5: "SAMUEL HALE, born in England, about 1615, died at Wethersfield, Conn., 9 Nov. 1693; married first, by or before 1643, MARY SMITH, daughter of Rev. Henry and Dorothy (-----) Smith; married second, PHEBE (BRACY) (DICKINSON) ROSE, born (1631-36), died at Wethersfield, 19 Jan. 1711/12, daughter of Thomas and Phebe (Bisby) Bracy, and widow of Joseph Dickinson of Northfield, Mass., and of John Rose, Sr., of Branford and East Haven, Conn. (P) Samuel Hale came early to New England, probably by 1634, and it is likely that he and his sister Martha were with their brother Thomas when he came to Hartford, Conn., in 1635, though there is no record of their being at Roxbury, Mass., with Thomas. If they did not accompany Thomas, it is certain that they soon joined him, for Samuel was in Hartford when the Pequot War broke out in 1637, and volunteered as a soldier. For this service he received a lot in Soldier's Fields, Hartford, and on 11 May 1671 the General Court "grants Samll Hale, of Wethersfield, sixty acres of land, upon the same tearmes with the Pequitt soldiers." In his will he referred to his service and gave the sixty acres to his son Benezer." He owned a lot of land, some of it listed by Jacobus and Waterman (omitted here). "He was entitled as an original proprietor of Hartford to draw land, 12 June 1666, on the east side of the River next to Windsor bounds." (P) Samuel Hale's marriage to the daughter of the minister of Wethersfield, in 1642 or by the beginning of 1643, presumably occasioned his removal to that town. (P) He served on juries while residing in Wethersfield 4 Sept. and 9 Nov. 1643. On 4 Dec. 1645, he was fined twenty nobles "for his mysdemeanor by excesse in drinkeing," but was again called for jury duty, 1 Oct. 1646. In 1647 he was a selectman of Wethersfield. (P) With his brother Thomas, he joined the first settlers of Norwalk, Conn., in 1651, and in 1655 his estate was rated at #250 [pounds], more than twice that of his brother Thomas, which places him among the wealthier residents of the young community. His prominence and popularity are evidenced by his election to several terms of the Connecticut General Court. He served as Deputy at the sessions of Oct. 1656, Feb. and Oct. 1657, May and Oct. 1660. (P) He sold his homelot and dwelling house to Robert Stewart, 8 Mar. 1660/1, and returned to Wethersfield. He was Deputy for that town at the session of May 1665. The names of Sam: Haill sent., Sam: Haill junr. and John Haill appear in the Wethersfield list of freemen in 1669. (P) In the list of families in Wethersfield dated March 7 1669/70, "Samuell hale Seneor" is credited with nine persons, which seems to include all his surviving children except John Hale, who was separately listed with two children. Considerable light is thrown on his family by the will of Dr. Ebenezer Hills . . . " (See Appemdix 8. Hale-Hills Connection).

"SAMUEL [HALE], Hartford 1640, one of the first proprs. at Norwalk 1654, had first been at Wethersfield 1642, and with his br. Thomas serv. in the Pequot war 1637, was rep. for N[orwalk] 1657, 8, and 60, went back to Wethersfield, and liv. in that part wh. is now Glastonbury; where sev. descend. cont. In his will ch. nam. are Samuel, b. a. 1644; John Thomas, Ebenezer; Mary; Rebecca; and Dorothy."
--- James Savage, *A Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, vol. 2, 1860, p. 330

"SAMUEL HALE (HALES) was an original proprietor at Hartford, and his home-lot in 1639 was on the east side of the road to the Cow Pasture; he had been a soldier in the Pequot War, 1637, receiving a lot for this service in the "soldier's field." He was juror twice in 1643; removed to Wethersfield, but in 1655 his name appears on the Records of Norwalk, in a table of "Estates of land," etc. He sold his land there to John Platt, in 1669. He was deputy for Norwalk, 1656, 1657, 1658, 1660. He lived on the east side of the river in Glastonbury, having bought land of the Rev. Henry Smith before 1668. He d. Nov. 9, 1693, leaving a wife, Mary. Chapin says he returned to Wethersfield, in 1660, when he sold four acres near "the Commoning," in Norwalk, to Robert Stewart."
--- Miss Mary K. Talcott, "The Original Proprietors", in *The Memorial History of Hartford County, Connecticut, 1633-1884*, 1886, p 242

"JOHN HOWARD HALE (P) From the very earliest years in the annals of old Wethersfield the name of Hale has been prominent. Apparently the first of the name to own land in what is now Glastonbury was Samuel, a soldier in the Pequot War in 1637. From his time until this, the Hales have been among the leaders in the affairs of Glastonbury. For more than one-fifth of the years which have passed since the town was incorporated, a Hale has represented it in the General Assembly. One of these was John Howard Hale, who was born in Glastonbury November 25, 1853, on the farm which has been in the possession of the Hale family for more than two and one quarter centuries. The story of Mr. Hale's school experience is very brief. It was all acquired in the little school house of District 4 which stands on a lot taken from the original Hale farm. His school life terminated before he was twelve years old. On November 25, 1853 he married Addie R. Stancliff of Middletown. To this union were born two sons and three daughters. Mr. Hale held many positions of honor and responsibility. He was Master of the Connecticut State Grange 1896-99 and was a prominent member of the National Grange. In 1890 he was appointed by the U. S. Census Bureau to take the sensus of citrus fruits in Texas and California, being at the time an officer in the National Pomological Society. He was a member of the State Board of Agriculture, a trustee of Connecticut Agricultural College, and President of the Connecticut Pomological Society. He was a member of the Connecticut Public Utilities Commission from 1911 until his death in October 1917. To a very large degree Mr. Hale was a self educated man, how successful he was in this is attested by the fact that he was constantly in demand as a lecturer on horticultural subjects. He spoke before many national organizations, being once called to California to speak before the State University. In his chosen field Mr. Hale was certainly a national figure."

See note by Oscar Fitzalan Hale under Samuel Hale, Sr., in which Mary WELLS is conjectured, though author also states that his wife's maiden name isn't known with certainty. In fact, Mary WELLES was wife of Samuel Hale, Jr.

"The first of the Hales to cross the sea to New England was Captain Samuel. He was born in Hertfordshire northwest of London about 1615 and was living in the Connecticut River settlement of Hartford by 1635. Two years later he volunteered in the bloody war against the Pequot Indians, going back to Hartford with the rank of Captain. He probably moved to Wethersfield, just down the river, in 1642, for in that year he married Mary Smith, daughter of the town's minister, the Reverend Henry Smith. The young couple's second child and first son was Samuel, Junior, born in Wethersfield in 1645. [P] When the boy was six years old, the family moved to the new town of Norwalk where Samuel, Senior, was active in town politics. But life there was hard and he brought the family back to Wethersfield in 1660, building a house on the meadow land of the eastern shore of the river. This part of Wethersfield is now Glastonbury Town and Hales have lived there ever since. [P] As they settled down in Wethersfield the two Samuel Hales, father and son, bought land which was part of the first acreage in the Colony to be surveyed into farms. It was known as the Naubuc Farms and the survey was made as early as 1640. ...... Captain Samuel apparently bought three lots---or drew them. Samuel, Junior, bought one, and it was part of this which came down to the Jonathan Hale who moved his family west to the Cuyahoga in 1810 [this Jonathan Hale was son of Theodore son of Samuel, Jr.] ..... In Chapin's report of the first town records, dated 1693, there were 34 families in the new community and six were Hales. Through marriage the Hales formed close ties with other prominent Glastonbury [i.e., Glastenbury, CT] families we shall hear more of later on---the Welles, who gave the Colony a Governor and Abraham Lincoln a Secretary of the Navy, the Wrights and the Talcotts."

Excerpt from David Lines Jacobus and Edgar Francis Waterman, Hale, House and Related Families, Mainly of the Connecticut River Valley, Hartford, CT, Connecticut Historical Society, 1952, p. 20-21

JOHN HALE (Samuel), born at Wethersfield, Conn., 21 Feb. 1646/7, died at Glastonbury, Conn., 19 July 1709, aged about 60; married at Wethersfield, 8 May 1668, HANNAH NOTT, born at Wethersfield, 10 June 1649, died -----, daughter of (Sergt.) John and Ann (-----) Nott.

The will of John Nott of Wethersfield, 'aged and inform,' made 10 Feb. 1679/80, named his wife Ann, daughter Elizabeth Reeves, son John Nott, and daughter 'Hannah Hale,' and gave ten shillings to the last-named.

John Hale was less prominent than his fathers or brothers, and the reason may be found in a certain sophomeric trait in his character indicated in the following records. On 4 Dec. 1679, 'John Hale being complained of for abusive language & Norious Ill carriage is by this Court committed to his father Hales as his keeper till the Court in March next.' The matter came up before then, at a special session held 22 Jan. 1679/80, 'Lnt Tho: Holister [sic] John Hale Wm Wickham for their unseasonable meeting at Tho: Wickhams house Excessive drincking & playing of Cardes . . . fined Thirty shillings a piece.' It must have been a wild party, even for Puritan Connecticut. At the same cour, a fine was assessed against 'Lnt Tho: Holister for breach of the peace in smiteing downe John Curtice & Joseph Curtice.' Nor did his victims escape, for Joseph Curtice was fined for paying cards and John Curtice for being drunk. 'Mr. John Hollister [sic] for his unseasonable keeping Company where such gret disorders were,' also sustained a fine, merely for countenancing such behavior by his presence, but his superior social position is conceded by the use of the term /Mr/' even in this unsavory connection. He was, of course, brother of the doughty lieutenant, who felled the two Curices. . . . Thomas Wickham was also fined, for permitting his house to be used by the roisterers.

But even worse was to come. 'It being alledged by Thomas Wickham that John Hale upon Fryday last at night spake evill words against our Lord the King sd Hale was committed to the Gaole there to be kept in durance till further order.' Apparently he was kept in jail, only over night, for the next day the Court sat again, to hear the heinous details and to render judgment. 'Thomas Wickham personally appeared & produced Jonathan Strickland & Susanna Kircom who informed him that John Hale had sayd God Damne King Charles. The sayd persons being Examined both affirmed they heard him say: God bless King Charles, & in a fitt when he fell off his Chaire & foamed at his mouth & shakt every Joynt of him they thought he sd God damn King Charles but they durst not take oath of it he spake so lowe.' This evidence was not strong enought for a conviction of lese majesty, and John Hale was released. If we may interpret the records, we take it that Hale at a drinking party was toasting the King, but fell off his chair and was so enraged that he turned to cursing the King. Those who were present, not wishing to get him into further trouble, developed a convenient uncertainty as to what they had actually heard him say. It may be supposed that he was badly frightened by this experience, and reformed his ways, for his escapages brighten the pages of the musty court records no more after this episode.
