  • Notes 
    • According to the author of Virginia Roots: "Nicholas' wife was claimed to be Mary Travers, daughter of Rawleigh and Hannah Travers who he married 5 May 1654 in Essex, Virginia, British Colonial America. According to "Hale/Haile/Heal genealogy, the biographical information of Nicholas Hale indicated that he and his wife only had 3 children. However, "Nicholas Hale, no doubt had several sons in addition to Nicholas, Jr. However, the births of of the older children are listed in the local parish records and marriage dates are, of course unavailable on those who had already moved west." Yet in addition to George, his sons appear to have been: John, who with George when he was laying out the town of Lancaster in 1682; Francis; Joseph; Richard and Nicholas or others who spread among the Tidewater counties of the Chesapeake."
      __________________________________________________

      The father of George Hale, Sr. of Lancaster was Nicholas Hale, the immigrant, who came to Elizabeth City County, Virginia, in 1645. He had a plantation in York County in 1648 and acquired large holdings in Lancaster County following its formation 1651.
      Nicholas Hale was living on his plantation in York County, but he moved to Lancaster County in 1655 and was living there as late as 1663. His sons, in addition to George, appear to have been: John, who with George was paid for laying out the town of Lancaster in 1682; Francis; Joseph; Richard; Nicholas; and possibly others, who spread among the Tidewater counties of the Chesapeak Bay, their descendants being legion."
      Due to the custom of primogeniture (passing property down from father to oldest son) George Heale/Haile succeeded to Nicholas' property was the eldest son.
      He married Ellen Rogers well before his 30 Dec 1697 death date. George was probably a son of Nicholas Heale/Haile of Elizabeth City, York, and Lancaster counties. The bride was a daughter of Capt. John and Ellen Rogers of North Carolina. (See Virginia, Marriages of the Northern Neck of Virginia.)
      The pedigree chart in Memories shows George Haile c1647-1697 married Ellen Rogers 1655-1710, and they were the parents of Nicholas Hale c1679-1730 who married Frances "Broad" Garrett. (Pedigree in "The Family of Cleveland Eldred Shook" by Henry Earl Close, Jr.) These relationships are also supported in "Roots in Virginia" pages 6-8.
      The source "Roots in Virginia" pages 7-8, states Nicholas Hale, Sr. of Baltimore County, Maryland married Frances "Broad" Garrett, and lists their children.
      The next paragraph states "George Hale, father of Nicholas, Sr. of Baltimore County, was a Justice in Lancaster County, Virginia, in 1684, a Burgess 1695-1697, and his will, leaving a large estate in lands, was probated January 12, 1698... George Hale and his wife, Ellen, who died in 1710, left in addition to their son had the following children:
      [1.] Nicholas, Sr., who settled in Maryland, [and married Frances "Broad" Garrett]
      [2.] Hannah, who married Col. William Ball, the third generation of a distinguished name in Virginia;
      [3.] Capt. George Hale, Justice and Sheriff of Lancaster, who married Catherine Chinn, daughter of John Chinn, and among whose children were Ellen who married David Ball and Catheirne who married John Cannaday of Maryland;
      [4.] John, a Justice of Lancaster County;
      [5.] Joseph, a Justice, whose daughter Anne married Moore Fauntleroy, son of William of Richmond County;
      [6.] Ellen;
      [7.] Elizabeth;
      [8.] Sarah, who married Newman Brockenborough of Richmond County;
      [9.] William, who married Priscilla Downman, daughter of William and Million (Travers) Downman, and granddaughter of Col. Rawleigh Travers...
      This was George. He expanded his father's holdings along the Corotoman and served as Justice in Lancaster County during the 1680s and '90s. He married the daughter of a Captain John Rogers. They had three children: George, Nicholas a.
      In 1654, when he gave a power of Attorney to Dr. Thomas Roots of Lancaster County, Nicholas Hale was living on his plantation in York County, but he moved to Lancaster County in 1655 and was living there as late as 1663. His sons, in addition to George, appear to have been: John, who with George was paid for laying out the town of Lancaster in 1682; Francis; Joseph; Richard; Nicholas; and possibly others, who spread among the Tidewater counties of the Chesapeake Bay, their descendants being legion."
