Below are notes about John Sr from Hale Roots webpage. So she knows a lot more than we do about John Hale Sr.
See our notes comparison with the Hale Roots website

1. JOHN1 HALE, SR.1 was born Bet. 1706 - 17251, and died Aft. June 1793 in Franklin County, VA1. He married ELIZABETH1.

Revolutionary War: John Hale "gave supplies". References: Kentucky Ancestors, vol.12-No.2, October 1976, Arlene Brachman and Kegley's Virginia Frontier, pg. 582.

The Henry Co., VA land records show John Hale Sr. sold land (which he received in 1783 as a grant) in Botetourt Co., June 1792. In that transaction he is listed as "of Franklin County". Witnesses were Thomas and Joseph Hale and William Campbell, son-in-law of Thomas Hale who married Jane Armstrong.

There is speculation as to whether John Hale Sr. had a brother and a son, William, and whether Thomas, Edward and Jesse were children of a brother William whom John Hale Sr. may have been caring for. There was a William Hale living in the area, possibly the same William Hale who was killed by Indians in 1774. (source: Hite Report; the Draper Papers doesn't say what happened to him) Daughter, Hannah is speculative.

Note: Edward, Thomas and Jesse each named a son William and no son named John. There is a William Hale in the area in the 1780's, who got land in Fincastle Co., VA in 1776. (Source: Arlene Brachman).

Notes for ELIZABETH: Coslow Birchell notes indicate a possible death for Elizabeth c. 1786, VA.
