Hi Chris. Sorry for my delay in replying. Your grandfather was awarded the MSM. WOW! What regiment did your father serve with during the war? Was he an officer in WWII?

To be honest Chris I read that you descended from Aaron 1741-1812 and left it at that until I was able to give it more time. Well, tonight I sat down and read your e-mail word for word I wished I read it fully when I got it.

WOW!!!! You say the Aaron HALE 1741-1812 is the father of John HALE 1761-1826. You see John HALE & Hannah LODGE are my 4th gr grandparents. Their son Joseph 1791-1859 and his wife Lucy HAMPTON are my 3rd gr grandparents.

I thought that the parents of John HALE 1761-1826 was Edward HALE 1706. I guess I was wrong. How did you find that Aaron was the father of John?

I am thrilled that you are a descendant of William HALE & Sarah NAYLOR. Did you know their son George settled in Nova Scotia? Their son Samuel also settled in Nova Scotia but was killed in 1873 in a mine disaster.

Another family story I am trying to figure out is Matthew HALE's service in the US Civil War. Are you familiar with that story?

I am going to leave it at that. I can go on and on now that I know we are related closer that I thought.

Bill
