Biography

Born at Swansea, August 19, 1726; died in Swansea, January 9, 1810. 'John, being an eldest son received a double proportion of his father's estate, which was 20 acres. The Swansea History says that 'by industry and thrift he gradually bought out the other heirs and before his death owned 120 acres of the original farm.

On October 24, 1747, the marriage intention was placed, and on November 26, 1747, John Haile of Swanzey (sic) and Bethiah Bozworth of Rehoboth, married at Swanzey by Elder Job Mason. (https://ma-vitalrecords.org/MA/Bristol/Rehoboth/Images/Rehoboth_M168.shtml)

He was ordained deacon of the First Christian Church of Swansea, Dec. 11, 1777, and was afterwards known as 'Deacon Hale.' His family were the first to drop the 'i' from their name and spell it Hale.

In the 1790 U.S. Census there was a family of John Hale in Swansea with '1 male over 16' and 2 females,' as the son of Lieut. John Hale died in February of that year, it is probable that this was the father, the wife Bethia, and the other 'female' may have been Lieut. John's widow as their own daughter were all married. John and Bethis Hale were buried in the family burying ground on the Hale farm.^[1]
