HALE. This family came to town not far from 1760. According to tradition three brothers took up there abode here, Samuel and Chileab permanently, and Joseph removing after a few years' residence to New Hampshire. Upon the early records is the name of one Joseph Hale who was deerreave in 1767, warden 1774, constable 1777 and tithingman 1779. After the latter date, no further mention of him is found and presum- ably he was the Joseph who settled in New Hampshire. So far as is known, he had no family at the time of his removal. The former home of these brothers is supposed to be either Chatham or Haddam, Ct., and from the fact that Samuel is spoken of in one place as Samuel Jr., their father's name was probably Samuel.
