Do you live in a place that bears the name "HALES" such as Hales Corners, Wisconsin? If you do, do you know how the place got its name? If you know of such a place and know how it got its name I would appreciate hearing from you with the information about it.

Does anyone have any information about the town or village in Gloucestershire, England called HALES? This town is mentioned as the birthplace of Alexander of Hales ca 1245. Thomas Hales ca 1250 poet and religious writer presumably was a native of Hales also, and Thomas Hales ca 1740, French dramatist, belonged to a good English family which was settled, according to Grimm, who knew him well, in Gloucestershire. If you have any information on this place please send me a copy of what you have.

The problem being researched in publishing these old English wills is of finding the ancestry of our American HALES families. One of the immediate problems researched is attempting to find the parentage of John Hales of Boxley, Kent, England who married Mary Foster. There does not appear to be any HALES entries in the Boxley Parish Registers for this family prior to 1725 and yet reference is made to a Hales name in the Marriage Register of Loose, Kent, England as follows : Marriage 5 Jun 1679, Samuel Haile of Boxley and Ann Lane of Loose. This and other inconsistencies has led me to ask our researcher, Mr .Raymond E. Stokes of Cobham, Kent, England, to look more closely at the Boxley area. He has sent me many wills recently which included the ones that follow.

Testament and Will, translated from Latin. Ref. PRC 17/1 f.67.

IN THE NAME OF GOD AMEN. 16 April, 1461. I, William Hale, being sound of mind, make my testament in this manner:

As you can see by the above, it takes over $600.00 to send out our HALES Newsletter for one year. Our circulation is approximately 950 issues. If each person receiving the Newlsletter would just send the minimum amount requested for "Active Membership" in our Family Society (just $2.00) we would have more than ample monies to run and even improve our Society. I would like to increase our expendatures for research in England and also Hire a Researcher for us on the east coast (the Carolina's, Virginia, etc.) so that we can make faster progress on our ancestry search. Please give me your support and join our Family Organization by sending me at least the minimum ($2.00) so that we can accomplish this goal. Many thanks to those that have already helped during the past two years in making this effort possible.
