Lots of information found on Ancestry.com. Confusing but maybe this page will help clarify some issues I had.

Below is information entered for James Hale Sr. There is a lot of information here. James Hale(s), Sr. has descendants who spell their name as Hale and others as Hales. It is common to see variations in the spelling to include Haile, Hailes, Hail, Hale, and Hales.

He was the son of Edward Hale Jr (abt.1701-1757) and Elizabeth (maiden name unknown). It's believed he was born in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. This is based on a deed dated 19 January 1738, whereas James' father, Edward Haile, is documented as owning land on Seward's Swamp, Newport Parish, Isle of Wight County, Virginia.[1]

It's estimated that James married Martha in about 1762. It's documented they were married before 1779 when they signed a deed together.[2] Later, he's documented with his presumed wife, Elizabeth. It's believed these women may be one in the same person based on records and deeds for James Haile in Clouds Creek, Oglethorpe County, Georgia, in about 1808.[3][4] Church records imply Martha was James' wife, and at least one deed implies Elizabeth was his wife. Either way, the maiden name(s) remain unproven or disproven.

James died sometime in the 1820-1830 timeframe in Georgia. See Research Notes.

Military The details of James' Revolutionary War service remain elusive. Of the pension files available for the name James Hale (Haile or Hales), the details within do not align with James found in Georgia.

A longtime researcher of this family, who has provided much of the foundation for the family tree that is widely used today, suggests that James likely did not serve in a full Regiment. He suggests that James may have served as a Minuteman in North Carolina. James' son Isaiah Hales reportedly served as a Minuteman in Smithfield, Johnston County, NC.[33]

Documentation for James Hale of Clarke County, GA.

In the 1827 Georgia Land Lottery, James Hale, Senior, noted as a Revolutionary War Solider, was awarded 255 acres in District 21, Section 1, also known as Lee County, Georgia. James was living in Clarke County, Georgia at the time of the drawing.[34][35] James is listed in the book Georgia's Roster of the Revolution by Lucian Lamar Knight. However it simply refers back to the 1827 Georgia Land Lottery record as its source.[36] In the Revolutionary soldier's receipts for Georgia bounty grants, we find the following, broken down as listed under each column:[37] "Account of Bounty Land Certificate issue to persons"; James Hail, two hundred & fifty acres, #918. "Vouchers persons are entitled"; by Elijah Clarke (Col). "by whom taken up"; (blank for James Hail). 1784. Please use caution with the following information. More research is needed to determine if this record is for this James Hale. Keep in mind that from 1773-1779, James is documented in Hertford County, NC. And by 1785, he is documented in Cumberland County, NC.

Military Service: For a private named James Hales who served in Maryland’s 5th Company, 3rd Regiment. They were later assimilated into the Continental Army. A closer review of the source material reveals more information about the service of Private James Hales of the 3rd Maryland Regiment:

Muster Rolls and Other Records of Service of Maryland Troops in the American Revolution, "The following members of the 3rd, 4th and 5th Maryland Regiments received from Robert Denny, in Bills of Credit and in Specie, pay due them for the present Campaign. 3rd Regt., Augt. 28th, 1781." [38] For consideration:

Research Notes Please use caution when sourcing from genealogy books. Several theories found within have been disproven after a comprehensive review of records.

Common Mistakes to Avoid The previous biography contained several errors.

"When James Hale was born on 28 November 1740, in Isle of Wight, Virginia, his father, Edward Hale Jr, was 39 and his mother, Elizabeth Morris, was 39. He married Elizabeth Martha Hasty about 1762, in Johnston, Province of North Carolina. According to relatives recollections he joined the Maryland guard to be with a cousin, Hugh Hales. James and Martha were the parents of at least 10 sons and 6 daughters. He lived in District 261, Clarke, Georgia, United States in 1820. He died on 1 June 1830, in Clarke, Georgia, United States, at the age of 89, and was buried in Clarks Run, Mason, Kentucky, United States." Date of birth and death unknown. There are no records to support a date of birth nor a date of death for this James Hale. It's speculated he was born about 1738-1740. It's possible he died sometime in the 1820s or 1830 timeframe. From 1828-1834, Silas Hale paid taxes on land for James Hale. Also, in 1830 a male age 90-99 was living in the home of Silas Hale. However, there exists Yearly Returns for James Hale dec'd, by Elizabeth Hale executrix of said dec'd, filed in Oglethorpe County, Georgia. [citation needed]

2 Nov 1826 paid, Elizabeth Hale exe of James Hale dec'd for 1825. Paid taxes 1824. Rec of Elizabeth Hales by state tax for year 1824. Paid taxes 1826. Rec of Elizabeth Hales by state tax for year 1826. Paid taxes 1827. Rec of Elizabeth Hales by state tax for year 1827. Examined, sworn 12 Sep 1828, by Isaac Hardeman. Recorded in Book B on 20 Jan 1829. This James was in Clarke County, Georgia — not Kentucky. It is illogical that a man who died in Clarke County, Georgia, was buried in Mason County, Kentucky — especially when he never lived in Kentucky.

Morris has not been confirmed as Elizabeth’s surname. The maiden name Morris is frequently used in trees for the wife of Edward Haile, dec’d 1757 in Isle of Wight County, VA. However, documentation to support Elizabeth’s maiden name is elusive. Two different women named Elizabeth Morris are often conflated with one another. Neither were the wife of Edward Haile, nor the mother of James Haile. See research notes and documenation for Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) at FamilySearch Person: GXH1-6W2. More information about two women named Elizabeth Morris:

Elizabeth Morris, daughter of John Morris of VA - Disproven - Elizabeth Morris-Haile born 1738 (baptism record), was the daughter of John and Mary Morris (LWT 1772). She was also the sister of Hannah Morris-Haile born in 1730 (baptism record). Hannah married Edward Haile's brother John. However, documentation implies this Elizabeth did not married Edward Haile. Most importantly, this Elizabeth Morris was the same age, or younger, than Edward Haile's children. She could not be the mother of James Haile, as they were both the same age. Furthermore, it appears this Elizabeth may have been a widow in 1772, when her father's estate was settled. She may have been the mother of Edy Haile and Lawrence Haile, who were named in John Morris' estate in 1772. See research notes and documentation for this Morris family. Links are found in the sources section of this profile. Elizabeth Morris, daughter of John Morris of Pasquotank, NC - Disproven - The theory that Edward Haile's wife was Elizabeth Morris of Pasquotank, NC, is flawed. She was the alleged daughter of John Morris dec’d 1739. Issues as follows: Logistical issue. Edward Haile (1701-1757) was in Isle of Wight County, VA. He was not in Pasquotank, NC. There is a marriage record for an Elizabeth Morris of Pasquotank, NC. She announced her intention to marry William Symons in 1725. Quaker Meeting advised against the union since they were cousins. It is unclear if they received approval to marry.[39][40] Unproven daughter issue. Alleged father of Elizabeth Morris, in this theory, is John Morris dec'd 1739. However, he did not name a daughter Elizabeth in his LWT. See North Carolina, U.S., Wills and Probate Records, 1665-1998; John Morris; Will Date: 18 Nov 1739; Pasquotank County, North Carolina. Names; Joseph Morris son, John Morris son, Sarah Morris daughter, Zachariah Morris son, Hannah Morris daughter, Isaac Morris, Mary Morris wife, "residue of my estate to be equally divided between my five children that remain unmarried viz John, Sara, Zachariah, Hannah and Isaac”. Separately names son Aaron Morris.[41][42] Maiden name of James Haile's wife unproven or disproven. There is much debate about the maiden name of Martha Elizabeth, who was married to James Hale Sr. (abt.1740-abt.1830). An effort to track down the sources of said theories has revealed that neither Morgan nor Hasty are the maiden name of James' wife.

Hasty Theory Not Proven - The originator of the theory regarding James Hale marrying Martha Hasty has stated he no longer believes James married a Hasty.[43] The speculation resulted from a set of deeds for James Haile and wife Martha Haile. On 26 Oct 1773, James Haile of Hertford County, North Carolina, purchased land from Mathew Hasty and Lydia Hasty of Bertie County, North Carolina. Martha is not mentioned in the 1773 deed. However, the deed was witnessed Reuben Haile, among others. On 5 Dec 1779, James Hale of Hertford County, North Carolina, sold the same land to Demsey Cook. This second deed was signed by James Haile and Martha Haile. It was witnessed John Cook, Joel Cook, and Naomy Hale. Both deeds were recorded in Bertie County, North Carolina. James was noted as living in Hertford County on both deeds. These deeds do not prove a relationship. James Haile engaged in numerous land transactions during his lifetime. While Mathew Hasty (presumably this Mathew) was named in the LWT of James Hasty of Southampton, Virginia, it should be noted that James Hasty did not list a daughter named Martha. An exhaustive effort to find marriage records has yielded no results between James Haile/Hale and anyone with the surname Hasty. Furthermore, trees often speculate that James Haile married Martha Hasty in the 1760s in Johnson County, North Carolina. Deeds indicate James Haile and Martha Haile were living in Hertford County, North Carolina, in the 1770s. They had not moved southward yet. Raffety-49 05:47, 27 January 2023 (UTC); See FamilySearch Person: LBDW-FWS Morgan Theory Disproven - The theory that James Hale was married to Elizabeth (Morgan) Hale (abt.1770-1846) is mistaken. Elizabeth "Betsey" Morgan married Christopher Hailes on 7 Apr 1794 in Oglethorpe County, Georgia. She was the daughter of William Morgan of Morgan County, Georgia. He owned land that bordered Clarke County, Georgia. See deed dated 16 Jan 1818; heirs & representatives of William Morgan of MORGAN CO GA and Elizabeth Hale of OGLETHORPE CO GA. Regarding 200 acres adjoining Clark Co line; Jesse Peters. North Fork of Beaverdam of Broad River. Signed: Samuel Hay, Robert Morgan, Hardy Morgan, Duncan Cornial, John Cornial, Jesse Morgan, Rutter Morgan, Thomas Duke. Witnessed James Hales, Nancy Hales, Harwood Goodwyn. Recorded 2 July 1818. Note the James Hales (born about 1794) in this record was the son of Christopher and Betsey Hale per probate records. This James Hales is not to be confused with James Hale who was born about 1740.

email to admin from Lewis Hales There is more than one a third of the total information here about James Hales that is incorrect. No one knows his exact birth or death dates, it is uncertain that his mother's maiden name was Hasty, he was not a Sgt. In Maryland during the Rev. War and it is proven that he descended from the Isle of Wight Va. Hales branch. James has been confused with several folks named James Hales, and through the years, his identity has been mixed with many people. His wife's surname was certainly not Morgan; this is associated with another James and Elizabeth Hales. However, his wife's real name was Martha Elizabeth.
