This is on-line version of The HALES Newsletter. The HALES Newsletter is the Journal of the HALES Family. It is a quarterly publication of the HALES Family History Society and variant spellings, including HALES, HAILS, HAILES, HAYLS, and HAYLES. The information includes current events, historical sketches and genealogical information pertaining to the Hales family. The pictures can be viewed by clicking on words that are highlighted. It is published by Kenneth Glyn Hales, secretary of The Hales Genealogical Society from 1970 through 1981 and The Hales Family History Society since 1995.

The intent of the HALES Family History Society is to document all HALES, HAILS, HAILES, HAYLS, and HAYLES families wherever they are found in all parts of the world. This documentation is found in the multi-volume The Hales Chronicles. This information is provided as a service to the Hales Family.

The Hales Chronicles contains the genealogical information published by the Hales Family History Society. This database can be found on the Hales web-page at www.hales.org and can be found in book form at The Family History Library of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City, Utah; The Library of Congress at Washington, D.C.; The Library of The Society of Genealogists at London, England; and the Centre for Kentish Studies at Maidstone, Kent, England. The Hales Chronicles is also found on-line. Look here to verify your family information and to search for your ancestors.

The Hales Newsletter is provided to the above cited repositories and the Allen County Public Library at Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Allen County Public Library indexes our publication and provides articles through their Periodical Source Index (PERSI).

Printed copies of The Hales Newsletter are provided to members of The Hales Family History Society. If you desire to be come a member, refer to the membership section on our home-page. If you would like a printed copy of individual Hales Newsletters, reprints are available at a cost of $3.75 each.

The Hales Family History Society

The moving of the internet files and email address to hales.org has now been completed. If you want to search for your ancestry you need to access <www.hales.org>. If you want to send me a message the address is <ken@hales.org>. This is the official internet address of The Hales Family History Society.

The Hales Chronicles on the internet

The internet version of the Hales Chronicles is the basis for the Third Edition. This on-line version is the master copy of the Hales Chronicles and it contains all information that I have and all corrections that have been made since the Second Edition. It is updated on a weekly basis. Many additions and changes have been made. A copy of these internet files can be purchased on a CD (in Word for Windows HTML format) for a cost of $10 postpaid. A copy of these internet files can be purchased on diskettes (in Word for Windows HTML format) for a cost of $20. Both the CD version and the diskette version contains the latest information that is available. If you find a mistake in these files, the index to these files, or if your family information is not there, please send me a copy of your records. The method you use to send me the information is not important. I can receive any type of GEDCOM file, any text file from your word processor, or you can mail the information to me. However, please send the dates and the locations that the birth event, marriage event, or burial event took place.

Current Activities

- I am in the process of changing the on line files so that they can be searched. This requires that they be made into a database format. This also makes it possible to make GEDCOM files. The format selected is Microsoft Access. Until the files are converted, changes will not be made to the current files. All changes will be collected and saved for a future update.
- Some unpublished Hales manuscripts (MSS) information have been discovered in the Kent County Public Records Office (PRO). It is possible that they can provide valuable unknown information about our family in the 1600 - 1700 time period. It is also possible that they might prove to be useless. The only method of getting copies of these records is to have the PRO make these collections into microfilm - they will not make xerox copies of these fragile documents. The first of these Hales MSS has been paid for and requested to be copied. This is an expensive project with this first Hales MSS costing $122.68. Four additional Hales MSS have been identified. When the first Hales MSS is received the information will be extracted and published in the newsletter and a determination will be made to see if the other MSS should be ordered.
- Kent County Parish Registers are still in the process of being extracted. While most of these records have been extracted, a small amount of parishes remain - either to be extracted or to have the dates that are extracted in that parish expanded. As these parishes are extracted the information will be in future newsletters.

- A colored version of the Hales arms is available suitable for framing in an 8" by 10" frame at a cost of $2.50 postpaid.

News and Views

From Eddy P. Hale at <edhale@jvlnet.com> I'm very impressed. I was doing some random searching and ran across your page. Have some information about the Hales family of Melbourn/Meldreth England. You have listed a John Preston Hales who married a Mary Ellis ... I believe she was Mary Ellis Woodcock. John Preston Hales died 30 Nov 1925 and she in 1927. They were my great-great grandparents. His father was John Hales of Meldreth and he was married to Ann Preston of Cambridgeshire in the church of Meldreth. His father was also John Hales of Meldreth. Thanks again for the great site.

In Memoriam

Amos HALES (1844-1918)

Amos Hales, 72, died August 5,1918 in Minneapolis. Amos, the sixth child of William and Ester Keeler Hales was born September 4, 1844 at Coburg, Ontario, Canada. He wasn't quite 18 years old when he enlisted in Rochester, New York for service in the Civil War. A corporal and sergeant in Companies B. and C. of the 21st N.Y. Calvary, he served from 1863 to 1866. He received an honorable discharge on June 28, 1866. He received a bronze medal given by the United States to soldiers of Port Hope, Canada that crossed the border to fight for the freeing of the slaves. He was proud of this medal. It had Abraham Lincoln on one side and an engraving of the civil war on the other side. This medal was lost in July of 1863 during the battle of Gettysburg and laid in the battlefield for 20 years before it was found. After 42 years it was later returned by a man named Willard C. Gompf of Hartford, Connecticut. He advertised in a New York paper of the different things he had found. This article prompted Amos' brother Hiram to contact Joseph Hooper who then returned the medal. Amos Hales married Mary Jane Hodge in 1868 and they were the parents of two children. She died following childbirth in early 1871. He then married Christiana Harris later in 1871 and they were the parents of eight additional children. He naturalized and became a citizen of the United States on October 29, 1880. At first a farmer, as was his father, he later owned a brick yard in Minneapolis and worked and managed this business the rest of his life. He had a military funeral.


Ormonde K. Hales (1915-1979)

With the sudden death, on May 14th, 1979, of Ormonde Hales, the Orpington & District Archaeological Society mourns the passing of a dear and valued friend. Ormonde was a founder member of both O.D.A.S., and the Orpington Museum Helpers Club. He was both a practical and a theoretical archaeologist, having attended the London University Certificate in Field Archaeology courses and participated in a number of excavations; notably at Boxley Abbey and Leeds Priory, the Roman Villa at Eccles, the mesolithic site at Culver Wells on Portland and at Rochester. Born in 1915, the only son of H. K. Hales, M.P. for Hanley 1931-1935 (Donor of the Blue Riband Trophy), Ormonde spent an eventful early life traveling the world. He lived in India during the 1930s managing his father's shipping office. At the outbreak of war he joined the Signal Corps and served in various campaigns. After the war he returned to his family business. Mr. Hales had always been very interested in archaeology, but business commitments prevented his active participation. Taking an early retirement, he was able to indulge his appreciation of archaeology. As a founder member of O.D.A.S., he was deeply committed to its objectives and always played an active role both in committee and in practical excavation. Chairman for 1976-1977, Mr. Hales will always be remembered for his kindness and generousity, coupled with his wonderful capacity for friendship. The Committee and members of O.D.A.S. would like to offer their deepest sympathy to Mr. Hales' widow.

Rae Louise HALES (1916-2001)

Rae Louise Hales Bateman, age 84, passed away July 16, 2001 in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was born December 9, 1916 in Ogden, Utah to Harry and Olive Hales. She married George Willis Bateman on June 10, 1938 in Ogden, Utah. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Rae was a member of the Fore Lakes Ladies Golf Association; member, Life Master and former President of the American Contract Bridge League; and a member of the "Thursday Afternoon Bridge Club." She had a loving interest in her family and friends. Rae was an avid fan of the Utah Jazz and enjoyed the companionship of her cat, Angel. Rae is survived by her grandchildren: Launa (Wesley) Waller of Clovis, New Mexico; Lori (Mark) Collins of Las Vegas, Nevada; Lance Bateman of Albuquerque, New Mexico; great-grandchildren: Kassie Waller, Brenton Collins and Logan Collins; daughter-in-law: Dixie (Travis) Johnson of Roswell, New Mexico; sister: Shirley (Lee) Hill of Roy, Utah. She was preceded in death by her husband, son: Brent H. Bateman, parents, and sister: Lucille Summerhays. Burial was in Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park.

R. Thane Hales named Temple Coordinator

From time to time I get requests to make the Hales data available for temple ordinances of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This requires GEDCOM file structure, hence one of the current activities listed above. To accommodate this request, R. Thane Hales has agreed to be the coordinator of this activity. Questions regarding temple activity should be directed to him. His address is:

NEWSLETTER ARTICLES INDEX

This is an alphabetical index to articles that have appeared in all of the Hales Newsletter Old Series (OS) published by the Hales Genealogical Society (HGS). All articles, items in News and Views, and obituaries are included in this index. It cites which issue and which number the article appeared in. The OS Hales Newsletter was published using the mimeograph process and was never in a computer format. Hence it has many typographical errors and the printing is fuzzy. However, I will make a xerox copy of these newsletters for anyone desiring a copy for the price of $3.75 postpaid for any issue (this is the same price as for back-issues of the current New Series Newsletters). Refer to the last Newsletter, Summer 2001, Vol. 6. No. 2. for an index to the New Series (NS).

Baseball's Spirit - Thomas Curtis Hales

This article was taken from the summer 1992 issue of The Hales Family News and was submitted by Thomas Curtis Hales of Columbus, Georgia.

 

Thomas Curtis "Tommy" HALES

Born 19 MAR 1898 at Halesburg, Henry, Alabama and of Halesburg, Henry, Alabama in 1900 and of Columbus, Georgia in 1992 the son of George Sims HALES and Ida Elizabeth KIRKLAND. Married about 1923 Winnie Ree FORRESTER.

Children: M- Thomas HALES; born about 1924 of Alabama.


I've finally discovered why T. C. Hales is so spry at 94. He's been lying to us about his age.

He's really not an Octogenarian at all. I haven't uncovered his exact age, mind you, but I have deduced that he isn't much older than 43.

You see, he only exists during the months that baseball is played, seven a year at the most.

In all the years I've lived here - more than I care to mention - I've never seen Hales at any time other than baseball season. I don't know of anyone who has. Come spring, I see him everywhere.

He comes along around the same time as the Easter Bunny, but like an in-law stays longer.

And we're glad.

He told me the other day that he loves football, used to play it in the harsh winters he said, but I'm not sure I believe him. Hales is baseball and vice-versa. There is no room for anything else.

Hales - the T. C. stands for Thomas Curtis - but ask anyone in town and they'll tell you it stands for Top Cat - loves nothing better than the national pastime.

"What could be better," he asked me, "than to be outside in the fresh air and sunlight? Out at a baseball game, you're close to God."

For some folks, I'm sure it's the only time they're close to God.

Hales is no stranger to baseball fans and players in this area whether they be six or sixty.

Every day he's at a game. And you can't miss him. He's 6-foot-1 but looks taller. He has a flock of white hair with a flesh colored crown and both are usually covered by his baseball cap of the day.

His favorite shirt is a red and white checkered model that looks like it was just yanked off the table at an Italian restaurant. It's usually buttoned to the top. He always wears his black high-top shoes that clearly show the effect of the miles of walking he does in them. He's never owned a car. The trousers to his black pin-stripe suit barely cover the top of the shoes.

In his top pocket of his jacket, which he wears on the hottest of days, are a couple of cigars. He says he's trying to quit smoking. He also carries a variety of pens. Captain Kangaroo would be envious of all the things he can pull from his side-pockets - books, baseballs, seashells. What there isn't room for in the pockets, he carries in a blue flight bag.

He always carries a red, white and blue baseball bat and taps it along the ground as he walks. He claims to be the world's best at the game of pepper and anyone who's seen him bat the ball with one hand while playing one of his dozen or so harmonicas in the other wouldn't argue.

Ah yes, the harmonica. (A sketch of Hales with playing his harmonica). It's as much a part of Hales as the American Express Card is to Karl Malden. He wouldn't leave home without it.

With it, he perks up the dullest of games, blowing out a rendition of "Oh! Susanna" while the crowd claps in semi-unison. Talent-wise, Bob Dylan has noting to worry about from Hales, but then again, Hales probably doesn't know who Dylan is. Bobby's blowing in the wind certainly isn't any more spirited.

If you need to know when the local teams are playing, ask him. He's got a plethora of schedules among his paraphernalia.

He loves to amuse the crowd. "You know how much I know about rock and roll?" He chuckles as he asks the fans. Before they can answer, he tosses a rock across the ground. "That's how much."

Wednesday at a Chattahoochee Valley game, he asked if anyone's interested in a copy of his magazine of the day, a publication called the "Trumpet of Truth."

"This is the only trumpet I've got," laughing and pointing to a nose only a mother could love.

He often has painted peanuts hanging from his ears. "They're my aids," he said, laughing.

He loves to cheer for the players on both sides and really gets on the lefties like himself. He always has an observation about the game. "I love the bunt," he said the other day as he watched a player try to execute one. "I don't see it enough and most of the kids today don't do it right. They try to run and bunt at the same time."

He rarely sits. "I'm like Satchel Paige," he said. "I keep moving."

Hales was born in Halesburg, Alabama, a town named for his grandparents, and came here on a steamboat in 1916. He recalls making baseballs out of socks as a youth but really got involved in the game in the army during World War I. "I was a toothpick of a kid and couldn't pass the overseas exam so they put me to swimming and playing ball," he said.

He played semi-pro ball all across the country and coached the Chicago Amateur League during the 17 years he lived there.

He returned to Columbus in 1945 working for the Railway Mail Service.

Hales once saw Babe Ruth hit three homers in a game. "Called every one, too," Hales recalled.

His house is filled with baseball mementos and he spends much of his time painting USA flags on baseballs and rocks which he then gives to kids and other friends.

"People come by and leave rocks and balls on my porch," he said. "One morning I got up and found 40 pounds of rocks on the porch."

His biggest love, besides his wife Winnie Ree and his country, is the Little League.

"Little League makes good ladies and gentlemen out of the kids who play," he said. "Heck, I'm just a big kid myself."

The body may be aged but the soul inside is that of Peter Pan.

And I wouldn't be surprised if when the kids of today's Little Leagues are playing Little League ball that Hales is still around. Look how long Santa's been going.

Burton F. Hales (1853 - 1930)

For nearly fifty years a distinguished business man of Chicago, Burton F. Hales was born on a farm near Henrietta, Lorain County, Ohio, June 26, 1853, the youngest son of William and Laura (Blackman) Hales. His family had been farmers all their lives and he was the only one of his generation who left the land for the city.

 

Burton F. HALES

Originally named Burton Orville HALES, but changed his name to Burton F. HALES. Born 26 JUN 1853 in Henrietta Township, Lorain, Ohio the son of William HALES and Laura BLACKMAN. Married (1) Hattie VAN NOSTRAND.

Children:

M- DeWitt Van Nostrand "Dewey" HALES; born in 1880; married about 1905 Bessie LEWELLYN; died 23 JAN 1936.


Burton F. HALES married 2) 28 JUN 1893 Frances Howard SIDDELL in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She was born 15 MAY 1862 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin the daughter of James SIDDELL and Ann HOWARD. Burton F. HALES died 16 MAY 1930 and is buried at Forest Home Cemetery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Frances Howard SIDDELL died in 1950 at Evanston, Cook, Illinois and is buried in forest Home, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Children:

F - Laura HALES; born 13 MAY 1896 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; died 3 NOV 1988.

M- James Howard HALES; born 16 APR 1898 in Chicago, Cook, Illinois; married (1) 15 SEP 1926 Edythe KNISELY, (2) Dorothy HALES; died 1967.

 After attending the district school of his neighborhood he entered the academy at Oberlin, where he was a classmate of Harry King, who subsequently for many years was president of Oberlin College. As a young man Mr. Hales taught district school in his home county. In 1875, at the age of twenty-two years, he came to Chicago, where his first venture was in the restaurant business, and then designed and patented a reclining chair, manufactured by the George F. Child Chair Company, which received a medal at the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. In 1885 he became associated with the Bemis & Curtis Malting Company, of which he became president in 1888, and throughout the ensuing years devoted his time to the grain and grain products business. For more than forty years he was a member of the Board of Trade. In 1899 he incorporated the Northwestern Malt Grain Company, with elevator at Cragin. In 1910 he organized the Minneapolis Malt & Grain Company and in 1912 the Interstate Malt & Grain Company of Minneapolis, Minnesota, having plants also at Waterloo and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the same year purchased the Kasota Elevator Company at Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 1916 he helped to organize the Hales & Edwards Company, the name of which was later changed to Hales & Hunter Company, with a plant at Riverdale, Illinois, for putting up feeds, and became one of the largest manufacturers of animal food.

In national affairs Mr. Hales was a republican, an ardent admirer of Theodore Roosevelt, and a stanch supporter of the progressive party. One of Mr. Hales' diversions was the breeding of cattle and he contributed largely to the development of the shorthorn type. He was one of the leading members of the Chicago Shorthorn Cattle Club and on the rich fertile acres of his estate, known to the shorthorn breeding world as Oakwoods Farm, near the town of Prairie View, Lake County, Illinois, he had one of the richest bred and strongest collections of shorthorns in America. A few years ago he decided that his lands, as well as any Illinois lands of the same character, could not be farmed profitably in the ordinary way, generally prevalent in the production and sale of grain. He knew, too, that the fertility of the soils could not be maintained in this way. Therefore he looked about and studied various systems and finally reached the conclusion that the greatest profit was to be drawn from the farm on which was maintained a herd of pure-bred cattle of a breed held in strongest favor by the general farmer, and that the shorthorn cow came nearer to filling the requirements because of her beef and milk producing qualities than any other, and accordingly he purchased the material for a herd of this breed and his Oakwoods Farm became noted among breeders of shorthorn cattle. In 1905 he built the beautiful residence at Oak Park and Chicago Avenues in Oak Park, Illinois. He was a member of the Chicago Association of Commerce, the Oak Park Country Club and the Congregational Church.

On the 26th of June, 1923, in celebration of Mr. Hales' seventieth anniversary, the following poem was contributed by Charles A. Heath:

Three score and ten is not old age,

When vigor is its heritage;

And joy of heart and youthful cheer

Have always marked each passing year,

Since you began a life which ran

Like some pure stream on through the vales,

But better known as B. F. Hales.

 

A life is great which comes to be

Whole-heartedness epitome;

Which gives and takes and does the way

That men call square, who loves to pay

Aught that is due and always too,

When every other debtor fails,

No one gets left by B. F. Hales.

 

The hope today for younger men

Lies in the example which you have been.

And so to walk they'll brook nothing

Of wrong, but yearly bring

As you have done and realize that naught avails

Save "do your best" like B. F. Hales.

 

Husband, brother, uncle, friend,

Devoted father, how you commend

The blessings of a useful life

Made richer by a loving wife,

And this we pray, that every day

Still thoroughbreds will find the pais,

And ribbons win for B. F. Hales.


On the 16th of May, 1930, while seated at his desk in the office of his company at 327 South La Salle Street, talking with a nephew, G. W. Hales, the subject of this memoir suddenly passed away. The surviving members of his family are Mrs. Hales; a daughter, Laura; two sons, DeWitt and James Howard Hales; and four grandchildren: Burton F. Hales, Vivian Hales, Helen Hales and James Howard Hales, Jr. Mr. Hales acquired a large herd of Holstein cattle in his later years, and the family is still operating this stock-farm.

  Sir Edward Hales, Titular Earl of Tenterden This article is based on an article in the "Dictionary of National Biography", Volume VIII, dated 1908. Additions and corrections have been made by Kenneth Glyn Hales.

Sir Edward Hales was the son of Sir Edward Hales, Baronet, of Tunstall, Kent, England, a zealous royalist, by his wife Anne, the youngest of the four daughters and coheirs of Lord Thomas Wotton. He was a descendant of John Hales, baron of the exchequer.

Sir Edward HALES

Christened 12 FEB 1626 at Tunstall, Kent, England the son of John HALES and Christiana (or Sarah) CROMER. Married about 1644 Anne WOTTON. She was born about 1628 of Boughton, Kent, England the daughter of Lord Thomas WOTTON of Marley and Mary THROCKMORTON. Edward HALES died in 1660 in France.

Children:

M - Edward HALES; born 28 SEP 1645 of Tenterden and Hackington, Kent, England; married by licence 12 JUL 1669 Frances WINDIBANK; died 1695. M- John HALES; born 2 MAR 1647 of Tunstall, Kent, England.

M- Charles HALES; born 30 DEC 1649 of Tunstall, Kent, England.

M- Thomas HALES; born 1653 of Tunstall, Kent, England.

 On the death of his father in France, soon after the Restoration, he succeeded to the baronetcy, and in the reign of Charles II he purchased the mansion and estate of Saint Stephen's, near Canterbury, where his descendants afterwards resided. He was educated at Oxford and Obadiah Walker, of University College, his tutor, inclined him to Roman Catholicism; but he did not declare himself a catholic until the succession of James II. He was formally reconciled to the catholic church on November 11, 1685.

On November 28, 1673 Hales had been admitted to the rank of colonel of a foot regiment at Hackington, Kent, but, contrary to the statute 25 Charles II, he had not received the sacrament within three months, according to the rites of the Anglican church, nor had he taken the oaths of allegiance and supremacy. James now gave him a dispensation from these obligations by letters patent under the great seal; and in order to determine the legality of the exercise of his dispensing power in such cases, a test action was arranged. Arthur Godden, Sir Edward's coachman, was instructed to bring a qui tam action against his master for the penalty of 500l., due to the informer under the act of Charles II. Hales was indicted and convicted at the assizes held at Rochester March 28, 1686. The defendant pleaded the king's dispensation. On appeal the question was argued at great length in the court of king's breach before Sir Edward Herbert, lord chief justice of England. On June 21st Herbert, after consulting his colleagues on the bench, delivered judgement in favor of Hales, and asserted the dispensing power to be part of the king's prerogative.

Hales was sworn of the privy council, and appointed one of the lords of the admiralty, deputy-warden of the Cinque ports, and lieutenant of Dover Castle, and in June 1687 lieutenant of the Tower and master of the ordnance. Luttrell mentions, in June 1688, a rumor that he was about to have a chapel in the tower for the popish service. When the seven bishops were discharged from his custody he demanded fees of them; but the refused, on the ground that their detention and Hales commission were both illegal. The lieutenant hinted that if they came into his hands again they should feel his power. Hales was dismissed from his post at the Tower in November 1688. James II, with Hales as one of his three companions, and disguised as Hales'es servant, left Whitehall on December 11, in the hope of escaping to France. The vessel which conveyed them was discovered the next day as it lay in the river off Faversham, and the king and his three attendants were conducted on shore. Hales was recognized and kept prisoner at the courthouse at Faversham. Immediately after the kings departure for London he was conveyed to Maidstone geol, and afterwards to the Tower, where he remained for a year and a half. On October 26, 1689 he was brought up to the bar of the House of Commons, and ordered to be charged with high treason in being reconciled to the church of Rome. On January 31, 1689-1690 he and Obadiah Walker were brought by habeas corpus from the Tower to the bar of the king's bench and were bailed on good security; but both were excepted out of the act of pardon dated May 23rd following. Eventually Hales obtained his discharge on June 2, 1690.

Hales proceeded in October to Saint Germains, where he was much respected but little employed by James II; "For," says Dodd, "by what I can gather from a kind of journal of his life (which I have perused in his own handwriting), he rather attended his old master as a friend than as a statesman." James rewarded his past services by creating him Earl of Tenterden in Kent, Viscount Tunstall, and Baron Hales of Emley, by patent May 3, 1692. Hasted says that he had been informed on good authority that Hales'es son and successor in the baronetcy, Sir John Hales, was offered a peerage by George I, but the matter dropped, because Sir John insisted on his right to his father's titles, and to precedence according to that creation. Sir Edward, in 1694, applied to the Earl of Shrewsbury for a licence to return to England, but he died, without obtaining it, in 1695, and was buried in the church of Saint Sulpice at Paris. He was scrupulously just in his dealings, regular in his habits, and remarkably charitable to those in distress. By the schedule to his will, dated July 1695, he bequeathed 5,000l., to be disposed of according to his instructions by Bishop Bonaventure Giffard and Doctor Thomas Witham.

By his wife Frances, daughter of Sir Francis Windebank, knight of Oxfordshire, he had five sons and seven daughters. Edward, his eldest son, was slain in the service of James II at the battle of the Boyne, and John, the second son, accordingly succeded to the the baronetcy, which became extinct on the death of the sixth baronet, Sir Edward Hales, without issue, on March 15, 1829.

 

Sir Edward HALES

Born 28 SEP 1645 of Hackington, Kent, England the son of Edward HALES and Anne WOTTON. Married 12 JUL 1669 Frances WINDIBANK by licence at Saint Sulpice, Paris, France. She was born about 1648 of Oxfordshire, England the daughter of Sir Francis WINDIBANK and Elizabeth GAGE. Edward HALES was buried in 1695 at Saint Supice, Paris, France. His wife died in 1693.
