Notes:

Excerpts from "McCall-Tidwell and Allied Families": Thomas Hale was in Newbury in 1638. August 10, 1638, he and John Baker were by vote of the town appointed "haywards till the town shall appoint new". In 1639, he signed with some others, a memorial to the General Court against Mr. Edward Woodman, for his speeches against Mr. Parker and Mr. Woodbridge. He adhered throughout to the Parker party as a member of the Church, his son Thomas taking the other side, but without break between them. By consent of all Freemen at a "Generalle Towne Meeting", the stinting of the commons in 1642 was referred to Henry Short, Edward Woodman, Edward Rawson, Thomas Hale and John Woodbridge, according to their best judgments and discretions. He seems to have removed to Haverhill in 1645 or 1646, to have returned to Newbury before January 15, 1652; to have removed to Salem before Jan. 28, 1658; to have returned to Newbury, Nov. 9, 1661.
