I'm looking for Isham B. Hale who was born about 1800 in Tenn. He and his wife Nancy are thought to be Cherokee. In the 1850 Tenn census the were listed as Follows: Isham B. Hale - 50 , Nancy 49, Scott - 23, Richard - 21, John - 17, Virginia - 15, Lavender 13, Harrison - 11, and Burrell - 9. All were born in Tenn. They also had a daughter Sarah Jane (b. about 1825) who married Noah Dodson Green.

3 Jan 2010: Most of Isham Hales's issue are gone from Van Buren county by 1870 as there appears only a scant few HALEs in the county. Harrison & Virginia do appear in 1880 Van Buren census...DAH

Isham Burrell Hale (b. Abt. 1800, d. Bef. 1870)
Isham Burrell Hale was born Abt. 1800 in Tennessee, and died Bef. 1870 in Van Buren Co, TN.

Notes for Isham Burrell Hale:

Isham Burrell Hale

It is suspected that Isham Burrell Hale is the youngest son of John Hale (b. 1753) of Bledsoe County, TN, although no proof has been found. Isham is found with his wife and children in Bledsoe county in 1830, page 22. John Hale died in 1838, according to his cemetery marker. Isham and his family are then found in Marion Co, TN in the 1840 census, page 57.

In 1850, page 385B and 1860, page 20B, the family is found in Van Buren County, TN, but disappears after that time. In both years, Manerva (unknown) Hale is living next door or close to the Isham Hale family, with children. Virginia appears in 1860, having been born 1852. However, an Isham Hale administers the estate of John Hale before the court, as late as April, 1843, in Bledsoe county.

Marriages
Lambert is assumed to have married twice. Only his first wife is known, and because he appears to have had later children, the second marriage is assumed.

Lambert married, by 1724, to Sarah Harris, daughter of Philip Harris.[1] Sarah was born in 1693 and died on 21 February 1736 in Richmond County.[1][2]
Lambert married, after 1736, as his 2nd, to an unknown wife.[2]

Biography

Unknown Origin
Charles Dodson (or Dotson) was deposed on 6 March 1699/1700, stating he was aged fifty years.[1][citation needed]

His birth place and parents are unknown. Roberta Estes writes a thorough summary of the claims of ancestors for Charles Dodson and their spurious sources.[2]

Among the theories which have been published online is that Charles was descended from John Dods of Jamestown, but there is no evidence.[3]

Another theory is that Charles was a son Jesse Dodson. There is no proof of this, but the name Jesse was used in later generations.[4] There has even been a myth that a Native American woman named "Eagle Feather" was an ancestor. The fact is that we do not have record of his birth or immigration. Many researchers have looked for many years with no results. Charles may have been born in England or in Virginia. We simply do not know. We only have record of Charles as an adult in Virginia.[4]

The profiles for Jesse Dodson and Judith Hagger have been disconnected from this profile as parents. Please do NOT re-connect these, until/unless an appropriate SOURCE is located that confirms they were Charles Dodson's parents. As of August 6, 2016.

Birth
Charles was born around the middle of the sixteen hundreds, or about 1649. In a court record dated March 6, 1699/1700, Charles swore he was aged fifty years. This would make his birth date about 1649/50.[Richmond Co VA Miscellaneous Record Book, p. 41][5] We must also keep in mind that people were not always exact about birth dates in the seventeenth century.

Note:

Charles Dodson, (connection to this Charles not proven), born Nov 25, 1659. Christening Place: Lewes, Sussex, England. Father: Richard Dodson Mother: Elinor[6]
Marriage
Charles married, probably between 1678 and 1680, at Rappahannock County, Virginia, to Anne Unknown. She was named executrix [5] Charles married a woman named Ann ____ (maybe either Dodson or Elmore), possibly a daughter of Benjamin Dodson and Anne Simms? Her maiden name must remain Unknown until some evidence is found.

When Charles made a livestock trade with his son Thomas on July 31, 1693, the notation read, "in exchange with him my said son Thomas for one sow shoat given him by his god-father Peter Elmore."[4] This was one example of a close relationship, and was his wife, Ann, an Elmore? The search continues.

After the death of Charles Dodson, Anne married John Hill: 3 Jul 1706, John Hill and wife Anne, executrix of the LW&T of Charles Dodson, dec'd, petitioned the court for appraisement of the estate. Her son Thomas may have tried to stop the marriage as he brought an action against John Hill marrying the Executrix of Charles Dodson; case dismissed 3 Apr 1707.
After Charles' death (January 1705), his widow Ann married a neighbor named John Hill, sometime before 3 July 1706, on which day they petitioned the court for an appraisal of Charles' estate (Richmond Co. Order Bk 4, Page 171)[5] Michelle Ule writes that in the book The Dodsons of North Farnham Parish, suggestion was made that some of the children may not have approved of this marriage. Son Thomas protested John Hill marrying the Executrix of Charles Dodson, and asked the case be prosecuted in court. We do not know the basis for his complaint, but the action was dismissed.[4]

Positions and Property
Our first property record is in July 1693, when Charles Dodson leased some of the first land Charles Dodson patented was leased from Peter Elmore in Old Rappahannock County in July, 1693. The lease was for 19 years, but the amount of land was noted as “as much land as three titheables can tend in corn and tobacco

As a prosperous tobacco planter and slave owner, Charles resided at a large plantation in the North Farnham Parish area of Old Rappahannock County, across the York River.[6] Tobacco was the currency of colonial Virginia. At one point, Charles bought land at two pounds of tobacco for every acre. He acquired a number of parcels of land; one parcel was located on on Totuskey Creek, near the North Farnham Church. There was land in both Essex and Richmond Counties (previously combined as Old Rappahannock).[5] Included in the notes of Frank D. Fuller, was a list of seven different leases or deeds in Old Rappahannock County, (with no details on the properties).[4] By the time of his death, Charles was able to give each of his six sons at least 150 acres apiece.[4]

Charles was well-respected and trusted in the community. Several times his neighbors asked Charles, and sometimes his wife Ann, to witness wills and deeds, or to act as Executor. One neighbor, John Lincoln, chose Charles to act as his Executor, even to the exclusion of the man's own wife, and against the advice of others.[4] That year, 1686, he acted as executor for both John Lincoln and for Edward Johnson. Also in 1686, on November 1, the court chose Charles to audit the accounts of two men who were in dispute over monies believed to be owed, each to the other.[4] This sort of responsibility was given Charles time and again.

Death and Legacy
Charles died before February 6, 1705; the date the transcript of his Will was filed at North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, Virginia.[5] The Dodsons became known as one of the leading families in the "tobacco belt."[4] Charles left a considerable estate, including houses and at least 150 acres to each of his sons. Daughters got all the movables, as they were called. In Corbari's book is a list of some of these including: tables, chairs, chests, cloth and linen napkins, a pestle and mortar, knives, two spinning wheels, cart wheels and casks. Also included, and highly valued, was "one servant man three years eight months to serve."[4]

Charles' acquisitions in land were an enduring legacy to his descendants, and he wanted it to stay in the family. In his will, Charles stipulated that the land could not be sold out of the family. He was very specific that it be transferred first from brother to brother, and baring that to a son's male heir. Daughters were only to inherit if the sons left no male heirs.[4] This contingency apparently caused some problems for the family later on.

"Until then, all we can say is that the parents of Charles Dodson were almost certainly NOT Jesse Dodson and Judith Hagar who supposedly married in 1645 in Jamestown. Unless new information is forth coming with actual documentation of some sort, this couple must be relegated to the annals of myth – along with Charles Dodson being the son of John Dods of Jamestown."

"Following further rumors, the marriage between John Dodson’s son, Jesse Dodson and Judith Hagar is supposed to have occurred on May 7, 1645 in Jamestown. The problem with this information is that there appear to be no records whatsoever of Jamestown marriages that have survived. Furthermore, there is no record of Judith Hagar arriving in Jamestown, either. Nor is there any record of Jesse Dodson. This rumor has struck out altogether."

I absolutely love estate inventories, because they tell us exactly what was in the household and on the farm when the man died. Inventories included everything owned by the couple, because the man was presumed to own all property of any kind except for the wife’s clothes and any real estate deeded to her individually after they were married. The wife was entitled to one third of the value of the husband’s estate unless the husband provided for more. However, the estate’s real value was established by the sale of the inventory items, not by the inventory itself, so everything was inventoried prior to sale. In some cases, the widow was made an initial allocation so she and the children could simply survive.

The feather bed clearly was the bed that Charles and Ann slept in, but it’s worth noting that there were no bedcurtains or valances which would have suggested a more upper-class household.

There were three beds in the inventory, two of flock which meant a mattress of scraps of fabric and wool instead of feathers. However, Ann and Charles had 8 children and a servant. Obviously there was a lot of bed-sharing going on and not everyone had a bed. The servant may have slept in the barn or on straw in the kitchen.

The spinning wheels certainly weren’t tools used by Charles and were obviously Ann’s.

This photo of a woman with a spinning wheel was taken about 1920, but not a lot had changed in spinning wheel design in the past couple hundred years.

The looking glass may have been a shared resource. Looking glasses were scarce and status symbols.

I do wonder why there were no pots and pans, silverware, candle holders, etc. The absence of these items if very unusual for this time period – and let’s face it, you can’t live without candles and silverware and Charles Dodson, while he wasn’t rich, he certainly was not a poor man.

end of commentary

Life on the Northern Neck

Life on the Northern Neck of Virginia at that time revolved around the planting, nurturing and harvesting of tobacco, a very labor intensive crop.

Charles Dodson was very clearly a man with a great deal of initiative and drive, given that he started out in 1679 by working the land of Peter Elmore that he would never own, and by the time he died, 27 years later, he owned 900 acres.

Ann’s life too would have revolved around crops, seasons and church. While church attendance was mandatory at the time, most people, especially women, didn’t need much encouragement to attend. Where the court sessions were an important social occasion for men, women didn’t usually attend court, and church provided that same type of camaraderie for women.

Charles and Ann lived in, along or on Briery Swamp, a part of the Totuskey watershed. They paid for their land with tobacco, the traditionally accepted money in colonial Virginia.

Ann’s husband did the normal male things of the day. He witnessed wills, witnessed deeds and attended court, occasionally serving as a juror. Charles apparently settled differences with people amicably, because for a very long time, he wasn’t sued and he didn’t sue anyone.

He was highly thought of in the community, because in 1686/1687, when neighbor John Lincoln died, it was reported that John would “have none other than Charles Dodson” for his executor.

Birth:
Now Richmond County. Click here to view maps, record & history of Richmond County, Virginia ...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond_County,_Virginia

Possessions:
Charles first appears in Old Rappahannock County in 1679 in a lease type arrangement with Peter Elmore. Charles does not purchase his own land until 1686, so he clearly didn’t have funds until that time. Nor did Charles patent land, so apparently someone else took credit for his 50 acre headright.

Died:
Richmond County has nothing whatever to do with the city of Richmond. There was no city of Richmond at that time. Richmond City sits in Henrico Co., Va, but it has no Court House. The county was named for His Grace, The First Duke of Richmond, or for Richmond in Surry County, England.

Charles married Anne LNU in 1678 in (Rappahannock County, Virginia). Anne was born in 1654 in Rappahannock County, Virginia, a British Colony in America; died on 1 Aug 1715 in Richmond County, Virginia; was buried in North Farnham Episcopal Church Cemetery, Farnham, Richmond County, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alt Birth: ~1654, England
• Probate: 4 Mar 1718

Notes:

We’ve now produced evidence that suggests Ann Dodson is not Ann Elmore. However, we still have no idea who Ann Dodson is.

We also don’t know who Charles Dodson’s parents were, or where he came from either. We do know that there is no record of any Dodson family in the region before Charles first appears in the 1679 transaction between Charles Dodson and Peter Elmore.

For all we know, Charles and Ann may have married in England, or wherever they were before they are found in Rappahannock County in 1679.

By that time, Ann and Charles have at least one son, Charles Jr., have probably been married about 9 years and most likely have had about 4 children. We know that Charles Jr. lived to adulthood, and it’s safe to say that Thomas born in 1781 is the second son that lived, but we don’t know if any of the children born between Charles and Thomas survived.

Can Ann Dodson Write?

Ann witnesses four documents in 1693, 1694 and 1705. It appears that she signed her name, although that may simply be because the clerk did not mention that she could not write and signed with a mark. Given that her son, Charles Jr., also married an Ann, it’s difficult to discern which Ann was signing, although the ones where Charles Jr. is absent are much more likely to have been signed by Ann, wife of Charles Sr.

If Ann is literate, it makes the probability that she was raised in England much more likely than being raised in early Virginia.

About Nicholas Haile (immigrant)
Evidence needed to support as son of George Hale, of Jamestown

Nicholas Haile is supposed to be easy to trace through Lancaster County, VA records. His name appears many times in land transactions and other public records:

Nicholas is listed in the Colonial Court records of York County, VA, giving his wife's name as Mary.
In York County and Lancaster Counties, Virginia, on 5 May 1654, he can be found giving power of attorney to Dr. Thomas Roots.
In 1654, Nicholas "suffered penalty" regarding a gun in the house of Margaret Grimes, who was the wife of Edward Grimes(Colonial Records, Vol 1, page 163)
Lancaster County, VA Colonial Records, Vol 2, page 120:"Sept 18 1669, upon petition of Nichlas Haile, William Ball Jr....a roadway from the new church to Mr. Fox be...laid out and cleaned by the surveyors for that precinct..." This probably wa the first church to be built in these parts since the people had been going to the "plantation of Mr. David Fox on the hill". The records show it was Nicholas who asked that "a full time preacher be called".
Nicholas patented 500 acres in June 1657 in Lancaster County, VA.
He owned land in York County, VA and 18 May 1660 in Lancaster County, VA, Nicholas owned 738 acres on NW branch of the Corotoman River.(Colonial Abstracts of Lancaster CO. VA,"page 219, 13 March 1671-1672, and Cavalier & Pioneers, page 193, Patent Book #6)
In May 1666 he obtained 234 more acres. Nicholas transported people into Virginia, earning more land.
On 8 Feb 1668, Lancaster County, VA, George and Nicholas Haile witnessed the will of Margaret George.
Robert Pollard "went to England and committed his son Robert Pollard to the tuition of Nicholas Haile, Jan 1667/68."(Colonial Court Records, Vol 2, page 73)
Thos. Gayner of Bristol, England, Merchant, power of attorney to Nicholas Haile to collect debts in Lancaster County, VA, 15 Feb 1668(Colonial Records, Lancaster County, VA, Vol 2, page 72)
In June 1671, Nicholas had in his possession, land for the orphans of John Arding (John Arden).
Mary Haile was the executor for the estate of Nicholas, 8 Nov 1671.George, Mary and Nicholas Jr, each received one third of the two thirds of their father's estate, his wife receiving her one third. After the death of Mary her third was split amongst the three children(Colonial Records Lancaster County, VA, Series 2, Vol 2, page 84)
Mary's death occured between then and 13 March 1671/72, when her son George was ordered to pay Mary Haile King her portion of her parents estates.(Colonial Records, page 219)

BEGINNINGS IN VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND

Genealogists turned up certain Hailes early in the Jamestown settlement, because that is what they were looking for. Maude Crowe believed she had found such records, and many other people copied them out of Crowe's book, Descendants from First Families of Maryland and Virginia (1978). Crowe cannot really connect known Haile "descendants" with direct forebears in Jamestown.* Still, Jamestown's wretched experience at the beginning of the seventeenth century may have a place in these pages. The disasters there were closely evaluated by later, more successful English who came up the Virginia rivers as well as the Scots Irish who came down out of Pennsylvania. Besides, the Jamestown survivors intermarried among the later Virginia population.
Therefore, you might like to skip my account of the James River colony when the name does first appear (1620), and go straight to the family's earliest demonstrable forbears, by clicking here.
England and America, ca. 1600

The reign of Elizabeth I (1533-1603) was distinguished by energy, learning, independence of Europe, and flamboyant personalities. Among the latter, Sir Walter Raleigh continued an effort initiated by his brother to establish a colony on Roanoke Island in 1585. So far as is known, the 117 men, women and children Raleigh left there had all perished before the next ship's call, in 1591. But the stretch of land which he named Virginia, after his queen, became part of her estate. In that feudal world, the monarch would enfeof her royal domain to loyal subjects. They exercised her absolute authority abroad as at home.
Elizabeth was a popular ruler, both among her people and in her own understanding of sovereignty. More typical of absolutist Europe was her successor, James I (1566-1625), one of the strongest advocates of the divine right of kings. This is the James who commissioned the Authorized Bible that bears his name, as does the river where in 1606 he granted the Virginia Company a charter for settlements. Jamestown was established on the James River in the subsequent year. These plantations were nearly as disastrous as had been the Roanoke attempt. Three quarters of all who shipped out of England over the next fourteen years for Virginia became victims of starvation, disease, and Indian depredations--or were lost at sea. Yet conditions in England were such that incentive to emigrate remained strong. Although thousands of emigrants had perished by 1620, hundreds, even thousands more were coming every year. Most of them came as indentured servants, but many were refugees from the severe punishments under English law, or even convicts; the vast majority were malnourished boys and very young men.
The Virginia Company was predicated on profit. Colonists sent back lumber products, slate, indigo, and eventually ores. They were encouraged to cultivate silk. Europe obtained this cherished material from China, and the greatest hope for Virginia lay in the expectation that China would be found not too far beyond the Appalachians. The most immediate profit came from a plant cultivated by the Indians and immediately beloved throughout Europe, tobacco. King James not only abominated it but wrote his most eloquent tract against its use. Children are still delighted by the account of how a faithful servant of Sir Walter Raleigh, upon glancing at a couch whence smoke was arising, dashed a bucket of water over his lordship.
Conditions in Jamestown were brutal and primitive, and the Virginia Company unprofitable. Nonetheless, in 1619 eight ships arrived with over 1,200 new settlers, this time including marriageable girls. Among the indentured servants sent in this year were the first Negroes (slavery laws did not yet exist). In 1622, the recently friendly Indians coordinated a surprise attack whereby hundreds of colonists up and down the river were massacred at the same moment. This calamity was followed in 1623 by an epidemic of the plague. The failed Virginia Company was dissolved in 1625. Virginia was made a royal colony. James's successor, Charles I (1609-1649), re-appointed Governor Francis Wyatt, who had come to Virginia in 1620 on the ship Sup[p]ly. Among Wyatt's retinue was a 13-year-old boy named George Hall or George Hale. This is the boy whom Maude Crowe (p. 1) connects with the name George Haile on a document of sale for 300 acres up in Northumberland County, some thirty-odd years later. Crowe does not trace or demonstrate any such coincidence. Actually, Crowe overlooked a "servant" in Jamestown named Thomas Haile. In the 1624 / 25 Jamestown Muster we find not only George Hale / Hall in the James Citty Hundred, age 13 when he arrived on the Supply in 1620, but also Thomas Haile in the West & Sherley Hundred, age 20 when he arrived on the George in 1623.
Genealogists long had the diligence of Maude Crowe to thank for almost all their Haile records. Popular web sites continue to follow Crowe, often without knowing it. They seldom volunteer Crowe any credit, but sometimes they obliquely give her credit, as when they routinely advance her dubious guess about George as if it were a fact, yet remain silent (as Crowe is) about Thomas.
One such web site points to a William Haile (1568-1634) in Hertfordshire (Kings Warden), married to a Rose Bond (1573-1648). They are said to be parents of a George (b. abt. 1602) and a Thomas (b. abt. 1605). According to this particular web site, William's son George turns up in America to sire Crowe's American Hailes. The prosperous region of Hertfordshire, just north of London, did indeed have an old and prominent family of Hales. William Hale was among three Protestants burnt at the stake there in 1554. Richard Hale of Kings Warden founded the Richard Hale School in 1617. It survives to this day. There is obviously no way to deny that this Hertfordshire family could indeed be the progenitors of the Virginia Hailes. But the George who Crowe finds came to Jamestown, like the Thomas Haile whom she did not find, clearly belonged to a servant class. To associate them with the illustrious Richard of the Richard Hale School seems difficult. Genealogists sometimes conclude that the name they have found is the very one they were looking for. Perhaps it may be, but can the documented name be linked to specific progeny? If not, then an American genealogist may sire her own English ancestors.
At the first census, perhaps 25 "plantations," or settlements survived along the James River. They were commonly called hundreds after the old Roman fashion, but contained scarcely more than a score or so men, and maybe no women at all. Beyond mere survival, the task was to produce profitable exports for England. Land for a plantation by royal grant or headright (about 50 acres per head) was available to anyone paying for passage across the Atlantic. Labor, the main cost of a plantation, was commonly obtained by indenture, also in return for passage. Both George Hale / Hall and Thomas Haile were indentured servants. Thomas Haile came over on the Abigail in 1623, which also brought Governor Wyatt's wife (it is also the boat suspected of bringing the plague to Jamestown). A Thomas Haile also appears in 1689 as signatory to a Somerset, Maryland allegiance to the new monarchs William and Mary. By that date, the Jamestown Thomas would have been eighty-five. It is conceivable that there might be a connection between one of these Jamestown fellows from the1620s and the continuous line of Hailes which Crowe does carefully trace after mid-century from Virginia and Maryland down to our Tennessee forebears at Flynn's Lick. Absent evidence for such a connection, however, we cannot even count those two servant boys among Jamestown's lucky survivors, much less as direct progenitors of the family name when it appears some thirty years later, north of the Rappahannock River. The same is true of a Nicholas Haile whom genealogists discover inn Elizabeth City County on the James River.
By the time of the reign of Charles I at the middle of the 17th century the Virginia settlements had spread up and down the James, and also north toward the Pamunkey. To the south, below the Blackwater River, a tributary of the Chowan, lay swampland. The neck north of the Rappahannock was still prohibited. Some genealogists connect a Nicholas Haile with Elizabeth City County. It is true that a very few Jamestown colonists did indeed advance from indentured servitude, like the explorer and Indian trader Abraham Wood, who rose to wealth and distinction, but I discover no link connecting a later Haile family back to this Nicholas--or to any other Jamestown colonist. Founder of this particular Virginia family was a Nicholas Haile who grew up in England during times so turbulent as to leave a profound influence on young people's thinking. While the original colonists had been struggling to survive in the Virginia settlement named after King James, that monarch himself was absorbed in the dynastic intrigues of Old Europe. Machinations by European royal families constituted the political universe of Nicholas Haile's boyhood. The carryings on of royalty shaped his ideas about what government was, and set the pattern for how he expected rulers to behave. Let us therefore take just a quick look at that political world which Nicholas left behind him. Despite all its complications and despite even its silliness, European history does tell us something about the American settlers who came from there. Patience. It is only five short paragraphs.
Attitudes toward Government King James's daughter Elizabeth had married the dashing young Palatine Elector, Frederick V, on Valentine's Day of 1613. She was adulated as the Queen of Hearts, and what a handsome couple they were. The young bridegroom was leader of the Protestant Union on the continent. In 1619, the noble estates in Bohemia chose Frederick to be their new king. This disturbed an uneasy balance of power on the European continent.
Perhaps it was a fundamentally religious balance. At the middle of the previous century, the awakening we associate with Luther and Calvin had culminated in that great schism we now call the Protestant Reformation. Thus in Shakespeare's day Frederick's father-in-law, King James, inherited a Protestant kingdom from Queen Elizabeth. James and his new son-in-law were among the eminent Protestant rulers. The great Catholic power was the Holy Roman Empire.
Among the hundreds of principalities in the Empire, seven were distinguished as Electors privileged to choose the emperor. Three of the Electorates belonged to Catholic archbishops and one more, Bohemia, was also under Catholic rule. The remaining three, Brandenburg, Saxony, and Frederick's Palatinate had Protestant princes.
So when young Frederick accepted the Bohemian crown in 1619, that tilted the balance and triggered war. It eventually drew armies from all the Hapsburg lands, including Spain, as well as from the Protestant strongholds in the north, to wreak devastation upon the the middle of Europe. Historians name the catastrophe after its duration: Thirty Years War. By 1622, Imperial forces had driven Elizabeth and Frederick into exile in the Protestant Netherlands. Should her father, King James, now come to their rescue and restore the "Queen of Hearts" to both her thrones?
The royal favorite, George Villiers, said by some also to be King James's lover, advised a marriage between Elizabeth's brother, young Prince Charles, and the Hapsburg Infanta, Maria Anna of Spain. Villiers thought this blessed union might relieve the predicament Elizabeth and her spouse had got themselves into with the Hapsburg Empire, enhance King James's diplomatic prestige, and bring peace to all Europe. In 1623, Villiers and Prince Charles traveled precipitately to Madrid. But negotiations between the English prince and the Spanish monarchy broke down in hostility and mistrust. When the disappointed bridegroom returned home to England, he tried to give the impression that he had jilted his Spanish bride, not the other way around. Villiers even went ahead to launch an unsuccessful attack by sea against Spain. Still, King James entertained ambitions to play an ecumenical rãole among the European dynasties, and wed Prince Charles to Henrietta Maria, daughter of the Catholic French King--much to the dismay of English Protestants.
Such was the impression of royalty with which English boys and girls grew up: dazzling celebrities not so unlike the glamorous but lethal campaigners for power in our own century. In any case, such were the sensations that riveted the attention of Englishmen while Jamestown was struggling to survive.
Legal Assumptions brought by the English to Virginia

Needless to say, James's dynastic adventurism cost a lot. His heir, Charles I, had to beg Parliament for additional revenues in 1625, but Parliament indignantly refused. Charles resorted to interim "loans" from the greater nobility. When these were not all forthcoming, the king imprisoned some of the recalcitrant nobles. Five of them appealed to the ancient lex terrae, the "law of the land." The noblemen claimed they were entitled to due process, that is to say they thought the king was obliged to show cause for the arrest of any free man. Supporters of the king, on the other hand, argued that any royal command was itself the lex terrae. Their argument won the day, and the parsimonious knights were remanded to prison. This was The famous Case of the Five Knights (1627). Parliament debated as to what course to take now. Should they introduce a bill declaring a free man's right to due process? Should they merely remonstrate against the king's arbitrary arrests? This was the sort of problem which lay in the air breathed by Nicholas's parents. In the year of Nicholas's birth, 1628, Parliament passed the Petition of Right, asserting the constitutionality of habeas corpus. Pressed by his war efforts, Charles had to accept its terms.
This was the England in which Nicholas grew up. Like most of the English, his family were monarchists, but they also thought that free men had certain rights. For example, Englishmen were accustomed to being taxed only subject to Parliamentary approval. Much as Americans today revere their Constitution and Declaration of Independence, the English remembered their Great Charter, the Magna Carta, which they had compelled a king to sign in 1215. In the example given above (The Five Knights), they argued from Clause 39: it specifies that free men may be deprived of life, liberty or property only in accordance with the "law of the land," whereby (as attested in ancient writs) the magistrate or arresting officer must "have the person," habeas corpus, before a judge to show cause for the arrest. By the time England at last codified this basic Anglo Saxon protection as The Habeas Corpus Act of 1679, it had already long been respected by those who came to Virginia, or even even engrained as a fundamental character trait. At the time Nicholas was establishing himself in the New World, he and people like him were confident that a ruler's power does indeed have legal limits, and can be restrained by legal means. This idea of limited government was still fresh, however, and did not spread in continental Europe.
Nicholas on the Corotoman (1628-1672)

In January of the year Nicholas was to attain his majority, he saw his defeated king executed. In September of that year, young Charles II, now a fatherless exile in France, encouraged support among citizens at home by means of royal grants on Virginia's Northern Neck. The idea was to populate that wilderness (See Nell Marilyn Nugent, Cavaliers and Pioneers [1934]). Nicholas was among those who earned land patents from the vast Fairfax grant between the Rappahannock and the Potomac. He received a nominal 50 acres per person in return for transporting apprentices to plant tobacco for him.
His best known neighbors had brought capital from home. John Carter (1620-69), used wealth from his marriage to continental nobility to purchase large tracts along the Rappahannock. Other royal grantees in the neighborhood were Grey Skipwith (1622-1670) and Edward Dale (1624-1695), father-in-law to Thomas Carter, whose son became the wealthiest grandee in Virginia, Robert "King" Carter (1663-1732). Northern Neck families of later fame were the Jeffersons, the Lees, the Madisons, the Masons, the Munroes, the Randolphs, the Washingtons, etc. These were no doubt all loyalists. They belonged to the Church of England, and were at odds with Cromwellian England. But at the same time, they may well have had ambivalent feelings about the English Crown.
A ship venturing out of Chesapeake Bay into the Rappahannock encounters its first tributary and harbor in the Corotoman River. Land patents, leases, and sales from the 1650s and 1660s along the Corotoman refer to Nicholas Haile, Planter. A power of attorney dated in 1654 suggests that he must have already been an individual of some standing and means before he was thirty years old. Later documents attest to dealings with England, including travel(s) and credit for transporting more immigrants to Virginia. He acquired several hundred acres near the present Christ's Church. He was empowered to collect debts for a third party in 1666, was entrusted with the tutelage of his partner's son in 1667, was laid in the stocks for "Uncivil language and deportment to several of the Justices" in 1668.
Nicholas was either lucky in this instance, or redeemed by his status, because in 17th-century Virginia mere pillory was a mild punishment. When Charles Snead and Elizabeth Wig, "havinge been summoned to this Court for comittinge of ye odious sin of fornicacion which they havinge both confessed & acknowledged," Snead was fined five hundred pounds of tobacco and costs, "And ye sd Eliza: Wig to receive twenty stripes upon ye bare shoulders well layen on wth a whip." This particular moral severity should not cause us to compare the settlers along the Rappahannock and Corotoman with their more famous and revered Massachusetts contemporaries. The Puritans are extolled by historians for their sense of purpose and community. Virginians like Nicholas do not come off nearly so well. The way they obtained their land and profited from it, as well as their life style, encouraged "excessive individualism" (T. H. Breen, distinguished professor at Northwestern University), and they are roundly condemned for their independent and allegedly exploitative behavior. While Puritans sat patiently in church, a Virginian might be out at a racetrack, laying a bet on his quarter horse.
The Family

The English country folk displaced to America called themselves "adventurers." Historians refer to them as "gentry." As distinguished from Oliver Cromwell's "roundheads" they were the "cavaliers" who sided with Charles. Station and rank were of paramount importance to them, and these were inseparably associated with the land. Their eagerness to acquire land attracted them to the New World. The same motive soon led to their continued migration. Like many other Virginia families, the Hailes never accommodated to the commercial, industrial, urban outlook and way of life. Land, in the feudal economy which they brought with them out of the Old World, was held only at the pleasure of the king, who received allegiance and rent in return. A similar relationship bound servants to their master, who was the king's proxy. Primogeniture and entail, common in feudal England, had helped motivate emigration, and were among the institutions to be abolished in America. Land acquisition kept these early families restlessly moving on.
Inseparable from land, since time out of mind, has been the labor to work it. The only way for Nicholas to obtain acreage, if not by direct grant from the King, was by guaranteeing the transport of people to Virginia (purchase of land rights did not become possible in Virginia until the very end of the century, under Governor Andros). Perhaps Nicholas was himself a younger son without inheritance, perhaps he was driven out by the Puritan Parliament of Oliver Cromwell. In any case he obtained his patent to acreage along the Corotoman in return for transporting servants to Virginia. For their part, they indentured themselves to him. Bonded servitude continued to supply labor for the family's tobacco production during subsequent generations in Maryland, Virginia, and even in Tennessee as late as the eighteenth century. English servants bonded for a specific term, perhaps four, perhaps seven years, were legally members of their "guardian's" family.
Early Virginians still understood the concept of family in the ancient sense of Greek oikos = "home," or in the compound oikonomia = "household" (whence English "economy"). Like Roman familia, the oikos meant the entire household including servants. In Virginia, Nicholas was bound by law to responsibility for just such an extended family. We must not think of him with his wife and three children as being about like a family in our own neighborhood. Nicholas and his wife took care of the material welfare of the servants they had brought over, and were of course responsible for their occupational training and Christian education. Their understanding of family was nearer to that of ancient Rome, or to a guild master in medieval Europe.
A young Englishman signed an indenture as a way of entering into a livlihood. It was a contract, whose name came from its outward appearance. The terms, stipulating the mutual obligations between apprentice and master, were copied twice on one long sheet. The paper was then cut between the copies so as to leave a wavy or jagged, an "indentured" separation. Thus each end, one for the master and one for the apprentice, was demonstrably a part of the same piece of paper. In America as in England, the indenture recognized the master's need for skilled labor, on the one hand, and the servant's need to learn a skill, on the other.
Growing and harvesting tobacco was a lengthy process comprising several delicate stages. The young man who mastered it could hope for a very profitable future in a colony with plenty of land awaiting him. At the end of his apprenticeship, his master was obliged to help establish him. In the meantime, the master enjoyed the servant's labor and was in turn required to to provide, beyond linens, lodging, and board, instruction in reading, and sometimes ciphering as well. In practice, this meant, in addition to "job training," a thorough grounding in the Bible, and in arithmetic through the "rule of threes."* In short, Nicholas and his wife Mary were in loco parentis to their three children, George, Mary, and Nicholas jr., together with as many servants as they had the energy and means to transport.
e.g., 4:6=10:15
Living Conditions

The colonists by no means left behind them their caste system, which one can observe in England to this day. Position was their most important possession, because it was immutable. Born an aristocrat, one remained so; born a servant, a servant for life. According to the old feudal understanding, one's "condition" bound one also to a distinctive code of behavior. The concept of "honor" had profound implications. This feudal stricture was still understood by the founders (it cost Alexander Hamilton his life), and left traces for several generations in Virginia and other agrarian populations.
Nicholas, whose acreage shows that he brought at least a dozen bonded servants, surely enjoyed a privileged existence as compared with the "huddled masses" of London or the starving wretches on the James River in the early 1600s--or with the great majority of immigrants in his own generation. This does not mean his life on the Corotoman can have been an easy one. The Indians remained a fearful presence, the massacre of 1622 still remembered by most, and that of 1644 by everyone. Cautious separation of Indians and whites was maintained by strict regulations imposed on both. The wilderness beyond the tidewater was mysterious and deadly. Nicholas surely brought along his armor, which included a helmet and probably chain vest and greaves, and of course sword and knives. He had muskets, from our point of view not very reliable, but a terror to the Indians. His residence was probably crude. Archeological digs suggest that early homes near the James River might not have even been above ground, but by Nicholas's day one may have erected something similar to the Virginia farmhouse below.
Brick construction was generally preferred, as it had been in the southwest of England in Nicholas's day. Light was provided by candles of tallow or beeswax. Cooking utensils might be hung in the fireplace.

A family's diet included fruits, fruit pies, and pickled fruit, grains and porridge, game fish and animals. One ate with one's narrow, pointed knife and a ceramic or pewter spoon. Only later did a dinner knife come to table with its broad blade, sometimes even with a broadened tip for transporting food to the mouth. Eventually the fork was borrowed from the kitchen and refined for table use. When cutting meat, the sophisticated fork user did not need to switch hands, but could take his already stabbed morsel directly to the mouth with the left hand, or so it was practiced by Europeans. Americans like Nicholas retained the older habit of switching hands.
Nicholas probably did not himself do field work, but he did have to teach and supervise the entire tedious process of tobacco production. In the beginning, no attempt was made to clear land. The trees were killed by girding them. Corn could be grown on uncleared acreage without the use of draft animals. Tobacco grew best on newground with plenty of sun. Enormous labor was required to bring down the ancient forests, but once that was accomplished a draft animal might be hitched to a horse hoe for scraping the weeds.
Preparation of a seedbed in the last winter months, careful tending of the fragile seedlings through the spring, and a series of transplantings as summer began finally permitted topping the plants so as to produce large tobacco leaves. These had to be regularly trimmed. By summer's end the mature tobacco might stand nine feet high. Harvesting the huge leaves, curing, and packing them were similarly arduous and skilled tasks. Despite formidable difficulties, tobacco brought such windfall profits that early colonists overproduced it, to the neglect of other crops. Fertilizing was not yet practiced, nor was crop rotation. As a consequence, tobacco exhausted a plot after a year or so. This was portentous for subsequent generations.

Tobacco growing provided the first "American Dream" of the good life. It assured the rapid development and advance of American civilization. Tobacco's vast and increasing demands for land laid waste the virgin forests, leached the rich soil, and encouraged slavery. These complaints were made by the growers themselves, Thomas Jefferson for example. Looking back from our day, we may be more impressed by the human lives snuffed out by cancer and other tobacco related diseases than by Jefferson's worries.
Governance

By the time Nicholas arrived in Virginia, Parliament had replaced the the royal government, now exiled. But whether under commonwealth or king (after the Restoration in 1660), the British Empire was all the same for Nicholas: a gigantic for profit organization run by appointees striving for place and favor at home. The colonists proudly regarded themselves as loyal, submissive subjects. "The Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina," drawn up in 1669, offer insight into colonial attitude: "for the better settlement of the Government of the said Place, and establishing the interest of the Lords Proprietors with Equality, and without confusion; and that the Government of this Province may be made most agreeable unto the Monarchy under which we live, and of which this province is a part; and that we may avoid erecting a numerous Democracy." The author of this document was presumably the young John Locke, upon whom the founders looked back as champion of human rights.
Nicholas no doubt believed he enjoyed the same liberties as other Englishmen under the constitution and common law. The king agreed. Charles I, for example, after stating that he truly desired the people's liberty and freedom, went on to say, "But I must tell you that their liberty and freedom consists in having of government; those laws by which their life and their goods may be most their own. It is not for having share in government, Sir, that is nothing pertaining to them." Nicholas felt the same authority over his own servants, whose taxes he paid and for whose welfare he was responsible. As to grievances which Nicholas might himself have, these would be addressed to the Governor, William Berkeley, who was supposed to speak up in England for his vassals in America. Berkeley answered to the ministry in London, who deliberated Royal policy. As time passed, some colonists dared argue that they were entitled to participate in decisions affecting them. This claim was treated as absurd: it went without saying that the ministry and each member of Parliament, including Commons, acted always in the interest of the whole empire and never in favor of any particular constituency, much less in self-interest.
Nicholas had come to America while Oliver Cromwell was Lord Protector. Although it is unlikely he favored that Puritan regime, the colonies may have fared well enough under it. After the Restoration in 1660, old Governor William Berkeley resumed his post. Although a good administrator under Charles I, he had grown old, cruel, and arbitrary by the time of his reappointment by Charles II. Like the courtier he was, Sir William valued his colony as a source of both personal and royal revenue (the feudal mind drew no bright line between these two). London dictated what was to be shipped from America. The Navigation Acts of 1660 and 1663 restricted shipments to English bottoms and English ports only, whatever the final destination. That actually made trade among American ports illegal. Tobacco, so profitable during the governor's first administration, had now become an article of contention because of overproduction, lack of quality control, competition with the Dutch and other countries, and failure of the British government to address any of these problems.
II Migration

The first of our American family, Nicholas, came to Virginia to escape the Puritan Roundheads or to seize an opportunity offered by the exiled monarch, perhaps both. He had a tough time of it on the Corotoman, and died in his early forties. His wife survived him by no more than three years, for his elder son was appointed in 1672 as administrator of her estate. This was George. He expanded his father's holdings along the Corotoman and served as Justice in Lancaster County during the 1680s and '90s. He married the daughter of a Captain John Rogers. They had three children.

About Nicholas Haile (immigrant)

Nicholas Haile is supposed to be easy to trace through Lancaster County, VA records. His name appears many times in land transactions and other public records:

Nicholas is listed in the Colonial Court records of York County, VA, giving his wife's name as Mary.

In York County and Lancaster Counties, Virginia, on 5 May 1654, he can be found giving power of attorney to Dr. Thomas Roots.

In 1654, Nicholas "suffered penalty" regarding a gun in the house of Margaret Grimes, who was the wife of Edward Grimes(Colonial Records, Vol 1, page 163)

Lancaster County, VA Colonial Records, Vol 2, page 120:"Sept 18 1669, upon petition of Nichlas Haile, William Ball Jr....a roadway from the new church to Mr. Fox be...laid out and cleaned by the surveyors for that precinct..." This probably wa the first church to be built in these parts since the people had been going to the "plantation of Mr. David Fox on the hill". The records show it was Nicholas who asked that "a full time preacher be called".

Nicholas patented 500 acres in June 1657 in Lancaster County, VA.

He owned land in York County, VA and 18 May 1660 in Lancaster County, VA, Nicholas owned 738 acres on NW branch of the Corotoman River.(Colonial Abstracts of Lancaster CO. VA,"page 219, 13 March 1671-1672, and Cavalier & Pioneers, page 193, Patent Book #6)

In May 1666 he obtained 234 more acres. Nicholas transported people into Virginia, earning more land.

On 8 Feb 1668, Lancaster County, VA, George and Nicholas Haile witnessed the will of Margaret George.

BACKGROUND READING

BEGINNINGS IN VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND

Genealogists turned up certain Hailes early in the Jamestown settlement, because that is what they were looking for. Maude Crowe believed she had found such records, and many other people copied them out of Crowe's book, Descendants from First Families of Maryland and Virginia (1978). Crowe cannot really connect known Haile "descendants" with direct forebears in Jamestown.* Still, Jamestown's wretched experience at the beginning of the seventeenth century may have a place in these pages. The disasters there were closely evaluated by later, more successful English who came up the Virginia rivers as well as the Scots Irish who came down out of Pennsylvania. Besides, the Jamestown survivors intermarried among the later Virginia population.
Therefore, you might like to skip my account of the James River colony when the name does first appear (1620), and go straight to the family's earliest demonstrable forbears, by clicking here.
England and America, ca. 1600

The reign of Elizabeth I (1533-1603) was distinguished by energy, learning, independence of Europe, and flamboyant personalities. Among the latter, Sir Walter Raleigh continued an effort initiated by his brother to establish a colony on Roanoke Island in 1585. So far as is known, the 117 men, women and children Raleigh left there had all perished before the next ship's call, in 1591. But the stretch of land which he named Virginia, after his queen, became part of her estate. In that feudal world, the monarch would enfeof her royal domain to loyal subjects. They exercised her absolute authority abroad as at home.

Elizabeth was a popular ruler, both among her people and in her own understanding of sovereignty. More typical of absolutist Europe was her successor, James I (1566-1625), one of the strongest advocates of the divine right of kings. This is the James who commissioned the Authorized Bible that bears his name, as does the river where in 1606 he granted the Virginia Company a charter for settlements. Jamestown was established on the James River in the subsequent year. These plantations were nearly as disastrous as had been the Roanoke attempt. Three quarters of all who shipped out of England over the next fourteen years for Virginia became victims of starvation, disease, and Indian depredations--or were lost at sea. Yet conditions in England were such that incentive to emigrate remained strong. Although thousands of emigrants had perished by 1620, hundreds, even thousands more were coming every year. Most of them came as indentured servants, but many were refugees from the severe punishments under English law, or even convicts; the vast majority were malnourished boys and very young men.

The Virginia Company was predicated on profit. Colonists sent back lumber products, slate, indigo, and eventually ores. They were encouraged to cultivate silk. Europe obtained this cherished material from China, and the greatest hope for Virginia lay in the expectation that China would be found not too far beyond the Appalachians. The most immediate profit came from a plant cultivated by the Indians and immediately beloved throughout Europe, tobacco. King James not only abominated it but wrote his most eloquent tract against its use. Children are still delighted by the account of how a faithful servant of Sir Walter Raleigh, upon glancing at a couch whence smoke was arising, dashed a bucket of water over his lordship.

Conditions in Jamestown were brutal and primitive, and the Virginia Company unprofitable. Nonetheless, in 1619 eight ships arrived with over 1,200 new settlers, this time including marriageable girls. Among the indentured servants sent in this year were the first Negroes (slavery laws did not yet exist). In 1622, the recently friendly Indians coordinated a surprise attack whereby hundreds of colonists up and down the river were massacred at the same moment. This calamity was followed in 1623 by an epidemic of the plague. The failed Virginia Company was dissolved in 1625. Virginia was made a royal colony.


James's successor, Charles I (1609-1649), re-appointed Governor Francis Wyatt, who had come to Virginia in 1620 on the ship Sup[p]ly. Among Wyatt's retinue was a 13-year-old boy named George Hall or George Hale. This is the boy whom Maude Crowe (p. 1) connects with the name George Haile on a document of sale for 300 acres up in Northumberland County, some thirty-odd years later. Crowe does not trace or demonstrate any such coincidence. Actually, Crowe overlooked a "servant" in Jamestown named Thomas Haile. In the 1624 / 25 Jamestown Muster we find not only George Hale / Hall in the James Citty Hundred, age 13 when he arrived on the Supply in 1620, but also Thomas Haile in the West & Sherley Hundred, age 20 when he arrived on the George in 1623.

Genealogists long had the diligence of Maude Crowe to thank for almost all their Haile records. Popular web sites continue to follow Crowe, often without knowing it. They seldom volunteer Crowe any credit, but sometimes they obliquely give her credit, as when they routinely advance her dubious guess about George as if it were a fact, yet remain silent (as Crowe is) about Thomas.

One such web site points to a William Haile (1568-1634) in Hertfordshire (Kings Warden), married to a Rose Bond (1573-1648). They are said to be parents of a George (b. abt. 1602) and a Thomas (b. abt. 1605). According to this particular web site, William's son George turns up in America to sire Crowe's American Hailes. The prosperous region of Hertfordshire, just north of London, did indeed have an old and prominent family of Hales. William Hale was among three Protestants burnt at the stake there in 1554. Richard Hale of Kings Warden founded the Richard Hale School in 1617. It survives to this day. There is obviously no way to deny that this Hertfordshire family could indeed be the progenitors of the Virginia Hailes. But the George who Crowe finds came to Jamestown, like the Thomas Haile whom she did not find, clearly belonged to a servant class. To associate them with the illustrious Richard of the Richard Hale School seems difficult. Genealogists sometimes conclude that the name they have found is the very one they were looking for. Perhaps it may be, but can the documented name be linked to specific progeny? If not, then an American genealogist may sire her own English ancestors.

At the first census, perhaps 25 "plantations," or settlements survived along the James River. They were commonly called hundreds after the old Roman fashion, but contained scarcely more than a score or so men, and maybe no women at all. Beyond mere survival, the task was to produce profitable exports for England. Land for a plantation by royal grant or headright (about 50 acres per head) was available to anyone paying for passage across the Atlantic. Labor, the main cost of a plantation, was commonly obtained by indenture, also in return for passage. Both George Hale / Hall and Thomas Haile were indentured servants. Thomas Haile came over on the Abigail in 1623, which also brought Governor Wyatt's wife (it is also the boat suspected of bringing the plague to Jamestown). A Thomas Haile also appears in 1689 as signatory to a Somerset, Maryland allegiance to the new monarchs William and Mary. By that date, the Jamestown Thomas would have been eighty-five. It is conceivable that there might be a connection between one of these Jamestown fellows from the1620s and the continuous line of Hailes which Crowe does carefully trace after mid-century from Virginia and Maryland down to our Tennessee forebears at Flynn's Lick. Absent evidence for such a connection, however, we cannot even count those two servant boys among Jamestown's lucky survivors, much less as direct progenitors of the family name when it appears some thirty years later, north of the Rappahannock River. The same is true of a Nicholas Haile whom genealogists discover inn Elizabeth City County on the James River.

By the time of the reign of Charles I at the middle of the 17th century the Virginia settlements had spread up and down the James, and also north toward the Pamunkey. To the south, below the Blackwater River, a tributary of the Chowan, lay swampland. The neck north of the Rappahannock was still prohibited. Some genealogists connect a Nicholas Haile with Elizabeth City County. It is true that a very few Jamestown colonists did indeed advance from indentured servitude, like the explorer and Indian trader Abraham Wood, who rose to wealth and distinction, but I discover no link connecting a later Haile family back to this Nicholas--or to any other Jamestown colonist.


Founder of this particular Virginia family was a Nicholas Haile who grew up in England during times so turbulent as to leave a profound influence on young people's thinking. While the original colonists had been struggling to survive in the Virginia settlement named after King James, that monarch himself was absorbed in the dynastic intrigues of Old Europe. Machinations by European royal families constituted the political universe of Nicholas Haile's boyhood. The carryings on of royalty shaped his ideas about what government was, and set the pattern for how he expected rulers to behave. Let us therefore take just a quick look at that political world which Nicholas left behind him. Despite all its complications and despite even its silliness, European history does tell us something about the American settlers who came from there. Patience. It is only five short paragraphs.
Attitudes toward Government

King James's daughter Elizabeth had married the dashing young Palatine Elector, Frederick V, on Valentine's Day of 1613. She was adulated as the Queen of Hearts, and what a handsome couple they were. The young bridegroom was leader of the Protestant Union on the continent. In 1619, the noble estates in Bohemia chose Frederick to be their new king. This disturbed an uneasy balance of power on the European continent.

Perhaps it was a fundamentally religious balance. At the middle of the previous century, the awakening we associate with Luther and Calvin had culminated in that great schism we now call the Protestant Reformation. Thus in Shakespeare's day Frederick's father-in-law, King James, inherited a Protestant kingdom from Queen Elizabeth. James and his new son-in-law were among the eminent Protestant rulers. The great Catholic power was the Holy Roman Empire.

Among the hundreds of principalities in the Empire, seven were distinguished as Electors privileged to choose the emperor. Three of the Electorates belonged to Catholic archbishops and one more, Bohemia, was also under Catholic rule. The remaining three, Brandenburg, Saxony, and Frederick's Palatinate had Protestant princes.

So when young Frederick accepted the Bohemian crown in 1619, that tilted the balance and triggered war. It eventually drew armies from all the Hapsburg lands, including Spain, as well as from the Protestant strongholds in the north, to wreak devastation upon the the middle of Europe. Historians name the catastrophe after its duration: Thirty Years War. By 1622, Imperial forces had driven Elizabeth and Frederick into exile in the Protestant Netherlands. Should her father, King James, now come to their rescue and restore the "Queen of Hearts" to both her thrones?

The royal favorite, George Villiers, said by some also to be King James's lover, advised a marriage between Elizabeth's brother, young Prince Charles, and the Hapsburg Infanta, Maria Anna of Spain. Villiers thought this blessed union might relieve the predicament Elizabeth and her spouse had got themselves into with the Hapsburg Empire, enhance King James's diplomatic prestige, and bring peace to all Europe. In 1623, Villiers and Prince Charles traveled precipitately to Madrid. But negotiations between the English prince and the Spanish monarchy broke down in hostility and mistrust. When the disappointed bridegroom returned home to England, he tried to give the impression that he had jilted his Spanish bride, not the other way around. Villiers even went ahead to launch an unsuccessful attack by sea against Spain. Still, King James entertained ambitions to play an ecumenical rãole among the European dynasties, and wed Prince Charles to Henrietta Maria, daughter of the Catholic French King--much to the dismay of English Protestants.

Such was the impression of royalty with which English boys and girls grew up: dazzling celebrities not so unlike the glamorous but lethal campaigners for power in our own century. In any case, such were the sensations that riveted the attention of Englishmen while Jamestown was struggling to survive.

Legal Assumptions brought by the English to Virginia

Needless to say, James's dynastic adventurism cost a lot. His heir, Charles I, had to beg Parliament for additional revenues in 1625, but Parliament indignantly refused. Charles resorted to interim "loans" from the greater nobility. When these were not all forthcoming, the king imprisoned some of the recalcitrant nobles. Five of them appealed to the ancient lex terrae, the "law of the land." The noblemen claimed they were entitled to due process, that is to say they thought the king was obliged to show cause for the arrest of any free man. Supporters of the king, on the other hand, argued that any royal command was itself the lex terrae. Their argument won the day, and the parsimonious knights were remanded to prison. This was The famous Case of the Five Knights (1627). Parliament debated as to what course to take now. Should they introduce a bill declaring a free man's right to due process? Should they merely remonstrate against the king's arbitrary arrests? This was the sort of problem which lay in the air breathed by Nicholas's parents. In the year of Nicholas's birth, 1628, Parliament passed the Petition of Right, asserting the constitutionality of habeas corpus. Pressed by his war efforts, Charles had to accept its terms.

This was the England in which Nicholas grew up. Like most of the English, his family were monarchists, but they also thought that free men had certain rights. For example, Englishmen were accustomed to being taxed only subject to Parliamentary approval. Much as Americans today revere their Constitution and Declaration of Independence, the English remembered their Great Charter, the Magna Carta, which they had compelled a king to sign in 1215. In the example given above (The Five Knights), they argued from Clause 39: it specifies that free men may be deprived of life, liberty or property only in accordance with the "law of the land," whereby (as attested in ancient writs) the magistrate or arresting officer must "have the person," habeas corpus, before a judge to show cause for the arrest. By the time England at last codified this basic Anglo Saxon protection as The Habeas Corpus Act of 1679, it had already long been respected by those who came to Virginia, or even even engrained as a fundamental character trait. At the time Nicholas was establishing himself in the New World, he and people like him were confident that a ruler's power does indeed have legal limits, and can be restrained by legal means. This idea of limited government was still fresh, however, and did not spread in continental Europe.
Nicholas on the Corotoman (1628-1672)

In January of the year Nicholas was to attain his majority, he saw his defeated king executed. In September of that year, young Charles II, now a fatherless exile in France, encouraged support among citizens at home by means of royal grants on Virginia's Northern Neck. The idea was to populate that wilderness (See Nell Marilyn Nugent, Cavaliers and Pioneers [1934]). Nicholas was among those who earned land patents from the vast Fairfax grant between the Rappahannock and the Potomac. He received a nominal 50 acres per person in return for transporting apprentices to plant tobacco for him.

His best known neighbors had brought capital from home. John Carter (1620-69), used wealth from his marriage to continental nobility to purchase large tracts along the Rappahannock. Other royal grantees in the neighborhood were Grey Skipwith (1622-1670) and Edward Dale (1624-1695), father-in-law to Thomas Carter, whose son became the wealthiest grandee in Virginia, Robert "King" Carter (1663-1732). Northern Neck families of later fame were the Jeffersons, the Lees, the Madisons, the Masons, the Munroes, the Randolphs, the Washingtons, etc. These were no doubt all loyalists. They belonged to the Church of England, and were at odds with Cromwellian England. But at the same time, they may well have had ambivalent feelings about the English Crown.

A ship venturing out of Chesapeake Bay into the Rappahannock encounters its first tributary and harbor in the Corotoman River. Land patents, leases, and sales from the 1650s and 1660s along the Corotoman refer to Nicholas Haile, Planter. A power of attorney dated in 1654 suggests that he must have already been an individual of some standing and means before he was thirty years old. Later documents attest to dealings with England, including travel(s) and credit for transporting more immigrants to Virginia. He acquired several hundred acres near the present Christ's Church. He was empowered to collect debts for a third party in 1666, was entrusted with the tutelage of his partner's son in 1667, was laid in the stocks for "Uncivil language and deportment to several of the Justices" in 1668.

Nicholas was either lucky in this instance, or redeemed by his status, because in 17th-century Virginia mere pillory was a mild punishment. When Charles Snead and Elizabeth Wig, "havinge been summoned to this Court for comittinge of ye odious sin of fornicacion which they havinge both confessed & acknowledged," Snead was fined five hundred pounds of tobacco and costs, "And ye sd Eliza: Wig to receive twenty stripes upon ye bare shoulders well layen on wth a whip." This particular moral severity should not cause us to compare the settlers along the Rappahannock and Corotoman with their more famous and revered Massachusetts contemporaries. The Puritans are extolled by historians for their sense of purpose and community. Virginians like Nicholas do not come off nearly so well. The way they obtained their land and profited from it, as well as their life style, encouraged "excessive individualism" (T. H. Breen, distinguished professor at Northwestern University), and they are roundly condemned for their independent and allegedly exploitative behavior. While Puritans sat patiently in church, a Virginian might be out at a racetrack, laying a bet on his quarter horse.

The Family

The English country folk displaced to America called themselves "adventurers." Historians refer to them as "gentry." As distinguished from Oliver Cromwell's "roundheads" they were the "cavaliers" who sided with Charles. Station and rank were of paramount importance to them, and these were inseparably associated with the land. Their eagerness to acquire land attracted them to the New World. The same motive soon led to their continued migration. Like many other Virginia families, the Hailes never accommodated to the commercial, industrial, urban outlook and way of life. Land, in the feudal economy which they brought with them out of the Old World, was held only at the pleasure of the king, who received allegiance and rent in return. A similar relationship bound servants to their master, who was the king's proxy. Primogeniture and entail, common in feudal England, had helped motivate emigration, and were among the institutions to be abolished in America. Land acquisition kept these early families restlessly moving on.

Inseparable from land, since time out of mind, has been the labor to work it. The only way for Nicholas to obtain acreage, if not by direct grant from the King, was by guaranteeing the transport of people to Virginia (purchase of land rights did not become possible in Virginia until the very end of the century, under Governor Andros). Perhaps Nicholas was himself a younger son without inheritance, perhaps he was driven out by the Puritan Parliament of Oliver Cromwell. In any case he obtained his patent to acreage along the Corotoman in return for transporting servants to Virginia. For their part, they indentured themselves to him. Bonded servitude continued to supply labor for the family's tobacco production during subsequent generations in Maryland, Virginia, and even in Tennessee as late as the eighteenth century. English servants bonded for a specific term, perhaps four, perhaps seven years, were legally members of their "guardian's" family.

Early Virginians still understood the concept of family in the ancient sense of Greek oikos = "home," or in the compound oikonomia = "household" (whence English "economy"). Like Roman familia, the oikos meant the entire household including servants. In Virginia, Nicholas was bound by law to responsibility for just such an extended family. We must not think of him with his wife and three children as being about like a family in our own neighborhood. Nicholas and his wife took care of the material welfare of the servants they had brought over, and were of course responsible for their occupational training and Christian education. Their understanding of family was nearer to that of ancient Rome, or to a guild master in medieval Europe.

A young Englishman signed an indenture as a way of entering into a livlihood. It was a contract, whose name came from its outward appearance. The terms, stipulating the mutual obligations between apprentice and master, were copied twice on one long sheet. The paper was then cut between the copies so as to leave a wavy or jagged, an "indentured" separation. Thus each end, one for the master and one for the apprentice, was demonstrably a part of the same piece of paper. In America as in England, the indenture recognized the master's need for skilled labor, on the one hand, and the servant's need to learn a skill, on the other.

Growing and harvesting tobacco was a lengthy process comprising several delicate stages. The young man who mastered it could hope for a very profitable future in a colony with plenty of land awaiting him. At the end of his apprenticeship, his master was obliged to help establish him. In the meantime, the master enjoyed the servant's labor and was in turn required to to provide, beyond linens, lodging, and board, instruction in reading, and sometimes ciphering as well. In practice, this meant, in addition to "job training," a thorough grounding in the Bible, and in arithmetic through the "rule of threes."* In short, Nicholas and his wife Mary were in loco parentis to their three children, George, Mary, and Nicholas jr., together with as many servants as they had the energy and means to transport.
e.g., 4:6=10:15

Living Conditions


The colonists by no means left behind them their caste system, which one can observe in England to this day. Position was their most important possession, because it was immutable. Born an aristocrat, one remained so; born a servant, a servant for life. According to the old feudal understanding, one's "condition" bound one also to a distinctive code of behavior. The concept of "honor" had profound implications. This feudal stricture was still understood by the founders (it cost Alexander Hamilton his life), and left traces for several generations in Virginia and other agrarian populations.

Nicholas, whose acreage shows that he brought at least a dozen bonded servants, surely enjoyed a privileged existence as compared with the "huddled masses" of London or the starving wretches on the James River in the early 1600s--or with the great majority of immigrants in his own generation. This does not mean his life on the Corotoman can have been an easy one. The Indians remained a fearful presence, the massacre of 1622 still remembered by most, and that of 1644 by everyone. Cautious separation of Indians and whites was maintained by strict regulations imposed on both. The wilderness beyond the tidewater was mysterious and deadly. Nicholas surely brought along his armor, which included a helmet and probably chain vest and greaves, and of course sword and knives. He had muskets, from our point of view not very reliable, but a terror to the Indians. His residence was probably crude. Archeological digs suggest that early homes near the James River might not have even been above ground, but by Nicholas's day one may have erected something similar to the Virginia farmhouse below.
Brick construction was generally preferred, as it had been in the southwest of England in Nicholas's day. Light was provided by candles of tallow or beeswax. Cooking utensils might be hung in the fireplace.

A family's diet included fruits, fruit pies, and pickled fruit, grains and porridge, game fish and animals. One ate with one's narrow, pointed knife and a ceramic or pewter spoon. Only later did a dinner knife come to table with its broad blade, sometimes even with a broadened tip for transporting food to the mouth. Eventually the fork was borrowed from the kitchen and refined for table use. When cutting meat, the sophisticated fork user did not need to switch hands, but could take his already stabbed morsel directly to the mouth with the left hand, or so it was practiced by Europeans. Americans like Nicholas retained the older habit of switching hands.

Nicholas probably did not himself do field work, but he did have to teach and supervise the entire tedious process of tobacco production. In the beginning, no attempt was made to clear land. The trees were killed by girding them. Corn could be grown on uncleared acreage without the use of draft animals. Tobacco grew best on newground with plenty of sun. Enormous labor was required to bring down the ancient forests, but once that was accomplished a draft animal might be hitched to a horse hoe for scraping the weeds.
Preparation of a seedbed in the last winter months, careful tending of the fragile seedlings through the spring, and a series of transplantings as summer began finally permitted topping the plants so as to produce large tobacco leaves. These had to be regularly trimmed. By summer's end the mature tobacco might stand nine feet high. Harvesting the huge leaves, curing, and packing them were similarly arduous and skilled tasks. Despite formidable difficulties, tobacco brought such windfall profits that early colonists overproduced it, to the neglect of other crops. Fertilizing was not yet practiced, nor was crop rotation. As a consequence, tobacco exhausted a plot after a year or so. This was portentous for subsequent generations.

Tobacco growing provided the first "American Dream" of the good life. It assured the rapid development and advance of American civilization. Tobacco's vast and increasing demands for land laid waste the virgin forests, leached the rich soil, and encouraged slavery. These complaints were made by the growers themselves, Thomas Jefferson for example. Looking back from our day, we may be more impressed by the human lives snuffed out by cancer and other tobacco related diseases than by Jefferson's worries.

Governance

By the time Nicholas arrived in Virginia, Parliament had replaced the the royal government, now exiled. But whether under commonwealth or king (after the Restoration in 1660), the British Empire was all the same for Nicholas: a gigantic for profit organization run by appointees striving for place and favor at home. The colonists proudly regarded themselves as loyal, submissive subjects. "The Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina," drawn up in 1669, offer insight into colonial attitude: "for the better settlement of the Government of the said Place, and establishing the interest of the Lords Proprietors with Equality, and without confusion; and that the Government of this Province may be made most agreeable unto the Monarchy under which we live, and of which this province is a part; and that we may avoid erecting a numerous Democracy." The author of this document was presumably the young John Locke, upon whom the founders looked back as champion of human rights.

Nicholas no doubt believed he enjoyed the same liberties as other Englishmen under the constitution and common law. The king agreed. Charles I, for example, after stating that he truly desired the people's liberty and freedom, went on to say, "But I must tell you that their liberty and freedom consists in having of government; those laws by which their life and their goods may be most their own. It is not for having share in government, Sir, that is nothing pertaining to them." Nicholas felt the same authority over his own servants, whose taxes he paid and for whose welfare he was responsible. As to grievances which Nicholas might himself have, these would be addressed to the Governor, William Berkeley, who was supposed to speak up in England for his vassals in America. Berkeley answered to the ministry in London, who deliberated Royal policy. As time passed, some colonists dared argue that they were entitled to participate in decisions affecting them. This claim was treated as absurd: it went without saying that the ministry and each member of Parliament, including Commons, acted always in the interest of the whole empire and never in favor of any particular constituency, much less in self-interest.

Nicholas had come to America while Oliver Cromwell was Lord Protector. Although it is unlikely he favored that Puritan regime, the colonies may have fared well enough under it. After the Restoration in 1660, old Governor William Berkeley resumed his post. Although a good administrator under Charles I, he had grown old, cruel, and arbitrary by the time of his reappointment by Charles II. Like the courtier he was, Sir William valued his colony as a source of both personal and royal revenue (the feudal mind drew no bright line between these two). London dictated what was to be shipped from America. The Navigation Acts of 1660 and 1663 restricted shipments to English bottoms and English ports only, whatever the final destination. That actually made trade among American ports illegal. Tobacco, so profitable during the governor's first administration, had now become an article of contention because of overproduction, lack of quality control, competition with the Dutch and other countries, and failure of the British government to address any of these problems.

II Migration

The first of our American family, Nicholas, came to Virginia to escape the Puritan Roundheads or to seize an opportunity offered by the exiled monarch, perhaps both. He had a tough time of it on the Corotoman, and died in his early forties. His wife survived him by no more than three years, for his elder son was appointed in 1672 as administrator of her estate. This was George. He expanded his father's holdings along the Corotoman and served as Justice in Lancaster County during the 1680s and '90s. He married the daughter of a Captain John Rogers. They had three children.

About George Hale, of Jamestown
No proof that this George Hale is the father of Nicholas Haile (immigrant)

George Hale, said to have been the son of William Hale, Esq., of King's Walden, and wife Rose Bond, was born July 13, 1601 in Hertfordshire, England. Many believe that he was the original Hale or Hale emigrant to Virginia. This is not well proven, but more information is below.

Those who do not believe that this is the emigrant point out that this George was the son of a well-to-do landowner from Hertfordshire and the emigrant was an indentured servant. Also, George the emigrant is believed to be from Kent, not from Hertfordshire.

George Hale (or Haile) left Bristol, England on the ship "Supply" and arrived in "James Cittie" (Jamestown), Virginia in 1620. George was an indentured servant. He married a young woman of English blood in 1626 and had a son, Nicholas, in 1628. Grandson Nicholas went to Baltimore with his sister Mary (Heale) King after Nicholas' death in 1671.

Nicholas was born in 1628 near Elizabeth City VA. His father was George Hale who sailed from Bristol Eng. in 1620 on the Supply and is listed as "George Hale, a drummer, age 18 years." He landed at Elizabeth City in the fall and lived with Sir Wyatt Governor of the colony. George was born in 1601 at Kings Walden, Hertfordshire,England at the Hale Manor House (which they owned 1575-1898).

The only information I have is:

George Haile Born about 1602 in Bristol, England. He was a passenger on the Ship "Supply" that landed in Virginia in 1620. His occupation was a Drummer or Salesman. He married around 1626, wife unknown. His known children were John, Thomas and Nicholas Haile Senior. He died about 1662 in Lancaster County, Virginia.

Other people on ancestry.com say his father was Nicholas Haile, but I have no clue if that is right or not.

I am a seventh generation decendant of the first Nicholas Haile of Virginia. I was personally acquainted with Maude Crowe. She did us all a great disservice with her sloppy research and by making a completely unwarranted connection with the drummer boy on the Supply. There is no documentation to support this. I have never seen any reliable link beyond the first Nicholas going back to England. Unfortunately the internet spreads a lot of misleading information.


Hale name meaning

English (also well established in South Wales): topographic name for someone who lived in a nook or hollow, from Old English and Middle English hale, dative of h(e)alh ‘nook’, ‘hollow’. In northern England the word often has a specialized meaning, denoting a piece of flat alluvial land by the side of a river, typically one deposited in a bend. In southeastern England it often referred to a patch of dry land in a fen. In some cases the surname may be a habitational name from any of the several places in England named with this fossilized inflected form, which would originally have been preceded by a preposition, e.g. in the hale or at the hale.

John Hooker (English constitutionalist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Hooker (or "Hoker") alias John Vowell (c. 1527–1601) of Exeter in Devon, was an English historian, writer, solicitor, antiquary, and civic administrator. From 1555 to his death he was Chamberlain of Exeter. He was twice MP for Exeter in 1570/1 and 1586, and for Athenry in Ireland in 1569 and wrote an influential treatise on parliamentary procedure. He wrote an eye-witness account of the siege of Exeter during the Prayer Book Rebellion in 1549. He spent several years in Ireland as legal adviser to Sir Peter Carew, and following Carew's death in 1575 wrote his biography. He was one of the editors of the second edition of Raphael Holinshed's Chronicles, published in 1587. His last, unpublished and probably uncompleted work was the first topographical description of the county of Devon. He founded a guild of Merchant Adventurers under a charter from Queen Mary.[2] He was the uncle of Richard Hooker, the influential Anglican theologian.[3]

Origins
Hooker was born at Bourbridge Hall in Exeter, Devon, England. He was the second son and eventual heir of Robert Vowell (d.1538) of Exeter[4] alias Hooker by his third wife Agnes Dobell (or Doble), daughter of John Dobell of Woodbridge in Suffolk.[5] His grandfather was John Vowell alias Hooker (d.1493), MP for Exeter.[4]

The earliest recorded member of the Vowell family was Jenaph (or Seraph[6]) Vowell of Pembroke in Wales, from whom John Hooker (d.1601) was 6th in descent. The original Welsh name was possibly ap-Howell.[6] Jenaph's son Jago Vowell married Alice Hooker, daughter and heiress of Richard Hooker of Hurst Castle, Southampton.[4] Thus, as was commonly required in former times on receipt of an inheritance, the Vowell family assumed the name Hooker in the 15th century, but frequently retained the earlier name; in fact John Hooker was known as John Vowell for much of his life. By the time he was born the family had been prominent in Exeter for several generations.[7]

Education
Hooker received an excellent classical education, reading Roman law at Oxford followed by a period in Europe studying with leading Protestant divines,[8] notably Pietro Martire Vermigli.[7]

Career
In Exeter
[I denounce those who chose] to supporte the authoritie of the Idoll of Rome whome they never sawe in contempte of their trewe & lawfull kinge, whom they knewe and oughte to obeye.
—Hooker, on the siege of Exeter, in The description of the citie of Excester, 1.67

A map of Exeter in the time of Hooker
During the Prayer Book Rebellion of 1549 Hooker experienced at first hand the siege of Exeter, and left a vivid manuscript account of its events in which he made no effort to conceal his anti-Catholic sympathies.[8] From 1551 to 1553 he was employed by Myles Coverdale during his short incumbency as Bishop of Exeter. In 1555 he became the first chamberlain of Exeter, a post he held until his death.[7]

As chamberlain he was responsible for the city's finances, he dealt with disputes between guilds and merchants, oversaw the rebuilding of the high school, planted many trees in the city, and collected and put in order the city's archives.[7] He used these archives to compile his "Annals" of the City in which he details the characteristics of every Tudor mayor of Exeter, and in 1578 he wrote and published The Lives of the Bishops of Exeter.[8] In 1570/71 he was MP for Exeter.

At a time when it was deemed essential for cities and nations to have ancient lineage, Hooker described the supposed foundation of Exeter by Corinaeus, nephew of Brutus of Britain, son of Aeneas. He advocated emulating the governmental institutions of the Roman Republic, which in his opinion brought Rome to greatness, and held up the municipal government of Exeter as a model republican commonwealth worthy of emulation.[9][10]

In Ireland
In 1568, possibly because he regarded himself as underpaid for the work he was doing for Exeter, Hooker was persuaded by Sir Peter Carew to accompany him to Ireland as his legal adviser. He organised Carew's papers in support of his claim for the barony of Idrone, a task to which he committed himself so deeply that in 1569 he was returned to the Irish parliament as member for Athenry. Hooker later wrote a biography of Carew, The dyscourse and dyscoverye of the lyffe of Sir Peter Carew, in which he almost certainly understated the deceit and aggression behind Carew's Irish venture.[7][11][12]

Until Carew's death in 1575, Hooker spent much time in Ireland, but he had also been returned to the English parliament in 1571 as one of the burgesses of Exeter. The session had lasted only a few weeks, but he kept a journal in which he accurately recorded the proceedings. His experiences in the Irish and English parliaments led him to write a treatise on parliamentary practice, The Order and Usage how to Keepe a Parlement in England, which was published in two editions in 1572. One edition had a preface addressed to William FitzWilliam, Lord Deputy of Ireland and was clearly intended to bring order to the Irish assembly; the other was addressed to the Exeter city authorities, presumably to aid his successor burgesses. In writing his treatise Hooker took much inspiration from the Modus Tenendi Parliamentum, a treatise from the early 14th century.[7]

In 1586 Hooker again represented Exeter in parliament. At this time he was one of the editors of the second edition of Raphael Holinshed's Chronicles, published in 1587. Hooker's Order and Usage was included within it and he contributed an updated history of Ireland, with parts of his Life of Carew and a translation of Expugnatio Hibernica ("Conquest of Ireland") by Gerald of Wales. In his Irish section he made his religious and political sympathies very clear, repeatedly denouncing the Catholicism of the native Irish, seeing it as the cause both of their poverty and rebelliousness. Rome he described as "the pestilent hydra" and the pope "the sonne of sathan, and the manne of sinne, and the enimie unto the crosse of Christ, whose bloodthirstiness will never be quenched".[7]

Later life
a verye ancient towne ... and maye be equall with some cities for it is the cheffe emporium of that countrie and most inhabited with merchantes whose cheffest trade in tyme of peace was with Spayne ... it is a clene and sweete towne, very well paved...
—Hooker, on Barnstaple, in Synopsis Corographical, 261–262
Hooker continued to serve Exeter in his later years, becoming coroner in 1583 and recorder in 1590. He was also appointed as steward of Bradninch by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1587.[7] By this time he was involved in the long task of organising and writing his historically-based description of his home county which he titled Synopsis Corographical of the county of Devon. He probably started work on this before his antiquary friend Richard Carew began writing his similar Survey of Cornwall.[8] In writing his Synopsis, Hooker was influenced by the style and structure of William Harrison's Description of England, which had been published in 1577 as part of the first edition of Holinshed's Chronicles.[7]

Although Hooker revised his Synopsis many times, he probably never completed it to his satisfaction. The work survives today as two almost identical manuscripts, one in the British Library the other in the Devon Record Office,[13] which were used as source material for many later topographical descriptions of the county, including Thomas Westcote's Survey of Devon (1630) and Tristram Risdon's Chorographical Description or Survey of the County of Devon (c. 1632).[8] He wrote an account of the Black Assize of Exeter in 1586 from which a virulent and deadly disease spread from prisoners in Exeter Prison to the courtroom in Exeter Castle and thence to the whole county.[14]

Marriage & progeny
He married twice:

Firstly in the 1540s to married Martha Tucker (died pre-1586), a daughter of Robert Tucker of Exeter by whom he had three sons and two daughters including:
Robert Hooker (d.1602) eldest son.[15]
Secondly he married Anastryce Bridgeman (c. 1540–1599), a daughter of Edward Bridgeman of Exeter,[15] by whom he had seven sons and five daughters.
Death & burial
In later life his health failed. He wrote: "...my sight waxeth Dymme my hyringe [hearing] very thycke my speache imperfecte and my memory very feeble". He died in Exeter on 8 November 1601 at the age of 76 and was buried at St Mary Major, Exeter.[16]

Biography
Member of Parliament 1534 (did not serve the full term). Cambridge 1488. Bailiff, 1522-3, member of the Twenty-Four June 1523 to Aug. 1524, receiver 1526-7, mayor 1529-30, warden of the bridge Oct. 1533.[1] Married (1) Margaret, da. of Richard Duke of Exeter, 2s. 1da.; (2) Agnes, da. of John Cort; (3) Agnes, da. of John Doble of Woodbridge, Suff., 3s. inc. John 4da. suc. Fa. by 25 Oct. 1496.

Date of birth estimated from admission as freeman.[2] The youngest in a family of 20 children. Robert Hooker had been constrained to begin his career as the ‘register’ or registrar of Barnstaple, but the catastrophic mortality which carried off every one of his brothers and sisters left him as the sole heir. He was to be remembered as ‘very well learned in the civil law’ (which might identify him with the man of his surname who went up to Cambridge in 1488 to read law), and ‘a good and upright mayor, and a great peacemaker’. Although admitted as a freeman by apprenticeship in the year 1486-7 and later practicing as a merchant, Hooker did not cut much of a figure in Exeter until shortly before his admission to the Twenty-Four, but within six years of this achievement he attained the mayoralty.[3]

After five years he entered the House of Commons, at the age of nearly 70 in 1529. The choice of so venerable a figure is the more striking because the by-election of 10 Oct. 1534 resulted from the withdrawal on grounds of ill-health of John Blackaller, a man nearly 30 years his junior. The virtually unanimous vote for Hooker—he was the only one to vote against—testifies to his colleagues’ agreement in the matter. His own dissent may have meant that he was genuinely reluctant to serve, for little more than two months before (7 Aug.) he had made his will. In the event he survived both this Parliament and its successor of June 1536, to which he was doubtless re-elected in accordance with the King’s general request for the return of the previous Members. What part, if any, he took in the proceedings is unknown. Some months before his first election he had played host at Exeter to Lady Margaret Douglas, Henry VIII’s niece, after she and her ladies had attended a sermon preached by Hugh Latimer; it was a sign of his standing in the city and perhaps a recommendation for his choice as one of its Members at Westminster.[4]

Hooker died on 9 Aug. 1537 during an outbreak of plague in Exeter. By his will he had asked for masses to be said for his own soul and those of his parents and wives, and had provided for his wife, his sole executrix, and his children: until his son John came of age the widow was to have the custody of his property. At the inquisition post mortem held at Plympton on 18 Oct. 1538 it was found that Hooker had held land in Clayhanger, Exiland, Satinole and Widecombe, and that the heir, evidently a child of his last marriage, was ten years old; the cloth in Hooker’s shop was valued for probate at ¹8 and the plate in his house at ¹65. His son was to become the historian of Exeter and another MP.[5]
