Biography

1776 Project
Soldier Joseph Hale served with Henry County Militia, Virginia Militia during the American Revolution.
Daughters of the American Revolution
Joseph Hale is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A206522.

Joseph Hale was born before 1745 (1746) and died before September, 1803, in Patrick county, Virginia.

There is some confusion to the location of birth. Find A Grave has "York County, Pennsylvania" and FamilySearch shows "Virginia, British Colonial America". Ongoing research may help clear up this issue, -Family Search is correct. He was born in VA- Jayne Peace Pyle

NOTE: My Family Records show he was born in 1746 in Virginia to John Hale Sr. and Elizabeth Prescott. He died 1 Sept 1803 in Virginia. He was married to Rachel Donnelson. -Jayne Peace Pyle

During the American Revolutionary War, Joseph was living in Pittsylvania county, Virginia, where he served in Captain Thomas Haile's company of the Virginia Militia.[1]

Joseph Hale is honored for his military service by the Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution as DAR Ancestor #A206522. DAR records give his wife's name as Rachel. Application for membership in the Society of the DAR have been made by the descendants of their son, Peter Hale, who married Sarah Morris; and of their daughter Sarah "Sally" Hale, who married David Tittle.[2]

Researchers Notes

Joseph was born in what was probably Lunenburg county, Virginia, established in 1745. Halifax County was established in 1752 by English colonists from Lunenburg County. Pittsylvania county was formed in 1767 from Halifax County. It was named for William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham. county was established in 1777 when it was carved from Pittsylvania County. Patrick Henry County was established in 1777 when it was carved from Pittsylvania County and named in honor of Patrick Henry, who was then serving as the first Governor of Virginia. In 1785 the northern part of Patrick Henry County was combined with part of Bedford County to form Franklin County. In 1790, Patrick Henry County was split again: the western part became Patrick County and the rest remained Henry County.

A Joseph Hale, born 1724 and died 1803 in Five Forks, Patrick County, Virginia, husband of Rachel and son of Thomas Hale (He was the son of John H Hale b. 1706), is speculated to be buried in the churchyard of the Willow Hill Moravian Church also known as Old Willow Hill Moravian Cemetery.[3] There is a photograph of the church, here: https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/1996295/willow-hill-moravian-church-cemetery

Hale-9980 and Hale-874 appear to represent the same person because: It is clear to me from reading the biographies that these two profiles represent the same man. His Revolutionary War record is fairly well documented (both profiles have the same DAR number) but there is some uncertainty about his other life details. We do not retain two profiles for the same person simply because of uncertainty about life details. Please merge the profiles and document the uncertainties (with the relevant evidence) in the text of the merged profile.

Hale-9980 and Hale-874 do not represent the same person because: The birthplace of York, PA makes me reject until there is documentation. I am still verifying his paternal line, but there is no evidence that his father or grandfather were born that far north of Virginia.

Since this is the same person, the merge should continue. The DAR records do not give a place of birth, so during the merge you could give whatever place of birth you believe it to be and mark it as "uncertain" or you could leave the place of birth blank. This is not a good enough reason to reject the merge.

As for the Benjamin’s in the Hale family, Joseph P. Hale (1742-1803) and Rachel had a son Benjamin. Joseph P. also had a brother Benjamin Sr. (1730-1802). And because he is a Sr., he must have had a son Benjamin. John Hale Sr. (1727-1793) (brother of Joseph P and Benjamin Sr.) also had a son Benjamin.
