Biography

I accepted this merge because I do believe it is the same man. My family records say his birth year was 1743 or 1753. The DAR records say CIRCA 1756, but I can accept 1756 because I cannot connect this line back through the generations. I have added below what I know. - Jayne Peace Pyle

Research Notes

-- Reconsider birth year based upon data for father. Hale-843 to be merged with Haile-73, resulting in Nicholas Jr., John, this John. edited date of birth to circa 1756, iaw DAR Ancestor #A049259 records. jg August 3, 2020

-- While this could be a duplicate of, maybe not the same as Haile-73, with only the birth date a copy. Changed to just year. Review after all the John Haile(s) on WikiTree are verified.

My 2-g-grandfather was Stephen Marion Hale b. 1813 VA; his father was John Hale 3rd b. 1770, his grandfather was John Hale Jr b. 1753, and his great-grandfather was John H. Hale Sr b. 1706, according to my Peace- Hale Family Book. I'm not sure if the suffix Jr and 3rd were given to them at birth, or if the suffixes were added later so all understood which John Hale was being referred to- Jayne Peace Pyle

John Hale 3rd (1770-1818) married his cousin, Mary Hale (1778-1845), daughter of Lewis Hale (1743-1802) and Mary Burwell (1744-1809).

John Hale Jr (1753-1838) married Mary Willis (1758-1821), daughter of Joseph S. Willis and Hannah I. Robbins. Marriage year and place was 1773 Botetourt, VA.

John Hale Sr. (1706-1798) married Elizabeth Prescott. He was a Colonel during the American Revolutionary War. Elizabeth was the daughter of Benjamin Prescott and Abigail Oliver.

All of these Hales were of Virginia, and according to my family records were among the very first settlers of Virginia. And, according to family records, I have three Hale grandfathers in a generational row named John Hale and two of them married women named Mary. -Jayne Peace Pyle

Children of John Hale Jr (1756-1838) and Mary Willis (1758-1821):

1) John Hale 3rd 1772-1818 (which makes John Jr a 16-yr-old father is why I thought born 1753 was correct- Jayne Peace Pyle)

2) Levi Hale 1774-1825

3) Rhoda Hale Scott 1775-1830

4) Hannah Hale Dunn 1776-1830

5) Jobe Hale 1777-1871

6) Joseph Hale 1782-1850

7) Thomas Hale 1787-1870

8) Rebecca Elizabeth Hale 1788-1852

9) Cassandra Hale Divine 1792-1858

10) Abigail Hale Huff 1795-1857

11) John Willis Hale 1798-1875

They named 2 sons John, but they are 26 years apart. John born 1772 was probably long gone by the time the second John was born.
