This is the on-line version. 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).
If you would like a printed version, reprints of the Old Series of The Hales Newsletters are available at a cost of $3.00 each.
This issue of the Hales Newsletter Is late. The problem was a very demanding work schedule due to my involvement as a Project Engineer and Manager of the Field Service Department connected with a new IBM Product from the Boulder, Colorado IBM Plant. My workload will lighten dramatically with the first customer shipment of the IBM 3850 Mass Storage System in July of this year. So from this time forward I expect to again have enough time to devote to this work to help make it a success. Your subscriptions to the newsletter have been adjusted to agree with the completion date of Volume 5. Number 4, which will be the next one published. After that time we will begin with Volume 6. Number 1. Thank you for your patience in waiting for this issue.
Our new home for the Hales Genealogical Society is at 2405 Collyer Street in Longmont, Colorado. It has taken some time to make some space available in the basement so that I can once again put forth the effort to make our Newsletter happen again, but things should start to go smoothly once again.
The secretary of the Hales Genealogical Society is Kenneth Glyn Hales, 2405 Collyer Street, Longmont, Colorado 80501. Please use this address for all correspondence.
This section of our Hales Newsletter contains the "happenings" that I am made aware of between issues. Contributions of articles for this section are requested and welcomed. If you see an item of information concerning someone named Hales, please send me a copy so that it can be included in our Newsletter.
Former patient transforms medicine cups into bells. All it takes is a little ingenuity. When Mrs. Alice Hales of Livingston, Texas was a patient in Livingston Memorial Hospital in the spring of 1974, she asked the hospital staff to save her thermometer cases and plastic medicine cups. The staff did as Mrs. Hales requested and she took the collection home with her. Later she returned the items to the hospital, but in a different form. The medicine cups had been transformed into red and green Christmas bells. Mrs. Hales painted the cups, trimmed them in gold glitter and attached a jingle bell with a pipe cleaner to the inside of each cup. With the thermometer cases, she simply inserted red pipe cleaners to serve as tree hooks. She also made some Styrofoam mice adorned with strips of fabric. The hospital Christmas tree was located in the lobby. The only decorations on the tree which were not made by Mrs. Hales are the candy canes and the Santa Claus on the top.

Mr. Stokes main occupation is in public administration, but over the past two decades has spent as much time as possible in the far more congenial field of genealogy and ancestry research, specializing in his home county of Kent and London. He sees his approaching retirement as an opportunity to devote his full time to research. He likes to regard clients more as friends in need of his expert help than as mere customers. He takes a vicarious interest in their enquiries and shares their pleasure at finding elusive ancestors. Although working in London he lives in a small village in Kent and likes to think of himself as a countryman with an interest in country life and pursuits, but with a patina of town culture.

From the booklets entitled "Some Virginia Marriages 1700-1799" published by Cecil D. McDonald, Jr., I found the following:
Hales, John married Walker, Elizabeth on February 19, 1760 – Goochland County Marriage Bond.
Hales, John married East, Edee on March 4, 1783 in Henry County.
Those are the only Hales entries in volumes one through four of the above publications.
In Mr. McDonald’s booklet, "Henry County, Virginia Marriage Bonds" there are no Hales entries.
