SCALES.
The Scales family in C. is descended from Edwards Scales, who went from Lee to that town about 1780. He was the son of Edward Scales, and nephew of the Rev. James Scales who was noted in the early history of C. Edward, Sr., and James were great-grandsons of William Scales of Rowley, Mass., who was one of the company that began the settlement of that town in 1640, coming mostly from Rowley, Eng. William Scales was b. about 1612. The place of his birth is not known. It may have been in London, and his pa- rents may have been William and Margaret (Greene) Scales, she the dau. of Robert Greene. The Scales family in Eng., dates from the landing of William, the Conqueror, in 1066. The origin of the name came from that commander of the division of King William's army, which came over to Eng. with him from Normandy, whose duty it was to scale the walls of a besieged city when the proper time came to make such an assault. This general's name was Hugh; they had only one name then; in the history of the time, he is called Hugh de Eschalers and Hugh de Scalerius; that Hugh was commander of the Scalers of the city walls and fortifications.
