George Hale of Northumberland Co., Virginia

[Haplotype I - Y39243]

Note: This family is genetically related to: 

one branch of the line of  Keziah Burgess of Bedford Co., Virginia
and Joseph Haas of Cook Co., IL.

George Hale I (or George Haile) was born about 1602 in England. He arrived in Jamestown, Virginia from Bristol, England on the ship Supply on 18 September 1620. He is listed in the 1624 Muster of Inhabitants at Jamestown as an indentured servant in the household of Sir Francis Wyatt, the Royal Governor of Virginia. His wife’s name is unknown. He settled in Northumberland Co., Virginia, on the Northern Neck, and was still living there in the 1660s. However, there is no specific proof tying George Hale to Nicholas Hale, and his inclusion here should be considered speculative. He is regarded by some researchers as having at least three sons (all unverified):

*1. Nicholas Haile Sr. (1628?-1668/71) of Lancaster Co., VA

2. John Haile

3. Thomas Haile

First Branch: Nicholas Hale Sr.

Nicholas Hale Sr. (or Nicholas Haile Sr.) was born about 1628 in Virginia. He married Mary (Travers?) by 1654 in York Co., Virginia. He settled in the Northern Neck, and owned land in both Lancaster and York Cos. He died between February 1668 and November 1671 in Lancaster Co., Virginia, having had at least two sons:

1. George Haile II
*2. Nicholas Haile Jr. (1656?-1730) of Baltimore Co., MD

Second Son of Nicholas Sr.

Nicholas Hale Jr. or Nicholas Haile Jr. was born about 1656 in Lancaster Co., Virginia. He married Frances Garrett about 1700. He later moved to Baltimore Co., Maryland; his plantation is now the site of Johns Hopkins University. He died there in 1730, having had four sons:

1. Nicholas Haile III
2. George Haile III
3. Neale Haile
4. Subbiner Haile

George Hale III is the ancestor of R. R. Hale and __ Hale.

Test results received from one representative of this line match the numbers of descendants of Armstead Burgess of Barren Co., Kentucky (son of Keziah Burgess of Bedford Co., Virginia), Joseph Haas of Cook Co., Illinois, and the descendants of a Chilcote family. This number set is very scarce. Given this fact, these families appear to have a common male ancestor, name unknown, but most likely George Hale.
