Thomas Hale was born in England and died in Connecticut. He was settled in Roxbury, MA by 1634. While in MA, he married Jane Lord in 1639. Jane died before 1659 when Thomas married Mary Nash in Charlestown, MA.
Thomas was made Freeman of Mass Bay in 1634. In 1635 he was an original proprietor of Hartford, CT. When the Pequot War began in 1637, both Thomas and his brother Samuel enlisted. Thomas moved to Norwalk, CT around 1650. After Thomas married Mary Nash, he moved to Charlestown, MA - her hometown. He and his family lived in Charlestown until his mother-in-law died in 1674. The family then moved to Norwalk, CT where Thomas died in 1678. (History from Ancestry.com)
