Hale Family Connections

These Hale members are not directly related to us. I include this partial descent list due to the frequent intermarriage with both sides of our family. I have left out most of the children, including only those who married into our lines.

We do have a direct Hale line through Rita’s mother (56 Ozias Hale), but we have only pushed this back as far as 1800 New York. It is one of my many continuing obsessions to tie them in with one of these early colonial Hale families.

We have two main Hale families, apparently unrelated, who connect with ours. One settled in Massachusetts, and one in Connecticut.
