The Family Trees of Paul Jason Hale

Origin of the Surname HALE

The name of Hale is probably of Welsh origin, being derived from "hal" which means moor. No doubt it was the name given to the place of residence of the first member of the family to bear it as a surname. It is met with frequently in the ancient records of England, Ireland and Wales. Although the most generally accepted form of spelling today is Hale our colonial records carried it also as Haile, Hayle, Hail, Hales and Heale. The family was prominent in England during the reigns of Edward III and Richard II. Nicholas Hales of Hales Place, Halden, was the father of Sir Robert Hales, Lord High Treasurer of England, who was beheaded by a mob which captured the Tower of London during the Peasants Revolt in 1381. Sir Robert was succeeded in his estates by his brother, Sir Nicholas de Hales, the progenitor of the Hale family in Kent. Nicholas Hale, the immigrant, came to America in 1645.
