This is a reprint. The original was scanned and the text corrected for spellings, something that was very difficult in the original mimeograph process. There is also some minor editing. The Hales Manuscript pages being developed during the publication of the Old Series of The Hales Newsletter have been deleted because the content is now found in The Hales Chronicles, now in its second edition with the third edition planned for 2005.

The Hales Chronicles can be found on the Hales web-page at www.hales.org and 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 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).

Reprints of the Old Series of The Hales Newsletters are available at a cost of $3.00 each.

With this issue many of the Hales family of Canada have been included in our Hales Directory. Also other Hales families are included as I learn their addresses. Welcome to our project – which is to gather information to publish a book showing all of the Hales families worldwide including variant spellings. This Newsletter is now sent to over 900 Hales families.

The next issue of our Hales Newsletter will include an updated copy of our Hales Directory. In order to make this edition as accurate as possible I am requesting your help. Please check the address on your Newsletter and let me know if it is correct or in error. Also, please look over the returned mail list in the Hales Newsletters published to this date and let me know if you can correct any of the addresses.

Please feel free to criticize the content and makeup of this Newsletter and our Family Organization. I welcome your comments.

Remember that our Hales family motto is: United Force is Stronger. Lets all pitch in and get our organization moving. Thanks to all of you for your support.

Mrs. Eva S. Hales of Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan writes that the father (now deceased) of Alfred Hales, a member of Parliament in Ottawa, visited England and told about a graveyard where the Hales were known as the "giant" Hales because they were so tall. No doubt he was referring to the Hales of Winterton – a family of giants of this name, who resided at Winterton, Robert Hales standing 7' 6" and weighing 34 stones 6 pounds (482 pounds). All of his brothers averaged 6' 5" and his sisters 6' 3" were the offspring of a father standing 6' 6" and a mother 6' 3". Reference: Walter Rye, Norfolk Families, pg. 291.

Nicholas de Hales, son of Nicholas, became the heir and was the father of Thomas Hales of Hales Place near High Halden, Kent, England. I do not have a sketch of Hales Place, High Halden, but it is described as follows: "Hales Place is an ancient residence embosomed in foliage about one mile east from the church of High Halden and is eminent as having been the original seat of the Hales, who in the reign of Henry VIII removed to Tenterden."

It appears that John Hales is the common ancestor of the Hales families of Kent, Oxford, and Hertsford, England. His brother Thomas appears to be the common ancestor of the Hales family of Lincoln and Warwick, England. His other brother Henry appears to be the common ancestor of the Hales family of Essex, England. So from the original home near High Halden the Hales family spread over all of England.

(Note: The Norfolk Hales family appears to be distant cousins).

Sir Edward Hales, "through prudent marriages," became the second wealthiest man in Kent, England, with a yearly income of £6,055 and owning property scattered throughout Kent according to C. W. Chalkin, Seventeenth Century Kent, page 197. He is referred to as Sir Edward Hales of Woodchurch and owned the arms seen on the cover of this Newsletter. He will be the subject of a more complete sketch in a future Newsletter.

Of this mansion, Cousins, in his Tour, says that "If ever it be finished, it will be

more fit for the residence of a monarch than for a simple country gentleman.

Sir John Hales of Tunstall, great-great-grandson of Sir Edward Hales of Woodchurch, purchased the mansion from Colonel Thomas Colepeper who owned it in 1675.

Hales Place, Hackington, later was extended by the Jesuits, and was used as a college. The Jesuits left in 1928 and the house and estate fell into speculative hands, and now Hales Place and Saint Mary’s College, as the Jesuits called their extension, hve been swept awain into oblivion (see Archaeologia Cantiana, Vol. 45, page 201).
