Thomas Hale (June 24, 1610 – February 19, 1679) was a founding settler of Hartford, and Norwalk, Connecticut.[1][2] Thomas was the son of John Hale and Martha MNU, of Watton-on-Stone, Hertfordshire, England.
He likely immigrated with his brother Samuel Hale and sister Martha. Martha married Paul Peck Sr, before 1638, who was also a Hartford founder.
One validation of these siblings comes from the medical journal of Governor John Winthrop, who was also a physician: “25 Mar 1666 • Hartford, Connecticut treated: Peck, Martha: 45 y. wife of Paule, .... wormes & paine in back & other sickness wch thinks is wind 2 dos 5g N. N. & 8g to take after. She is sis of Sam: Hale of Wethersfield & hath a bro Tho: Hale at Charleston. Sent word it wrought well, but very sick before it wrought.”[3]
Thomas Hale was named a freeman of Massachusetts Bay Colony on May 14, 1634.[3] He came to Hartford with Thomas Hooker's congregation in 1636. He served in the Pequot War, along with his brother Samuel, and was granted fifty acres for his service on October 12, 1671.[3] He married Jane Lord in 1639, in Boston with whom he had one son, Thomas. He was a signer of the Ludlow agreement to settle Norwalk in June 1650. Thomas married Mary Nash in 1659 in Boston with whom he had two children, John and Mary.[3]
