Notes on the Hale family

There is a connection with the Hamilton Hale Sr. who was granted land at Drummond, Banbridge and farmed land at Drumnavaddy. The Christian name Hamilton has come up in my grandmother, Emily Selina Hales family, also her grandfather was Richard Hale from Drumnavaddy.

Hamilton Hale, born 1788, died 27th. May1881 at Scarva Hill, Banbridge

Comments: BIOGRAPHY: Hamilton Hale Sr. was descended in direct line from Richard Hale who was granted land at Drummond, Banbridge for his services at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. the Dungannon Hales are a junior branch of the family.
He farmed 6 or 7 acres at Drumnavady. This information was given by Robin Slowe, who is also researching the Hale ancestors, Robins email address is, robin.slowe@ntlworld.com

It has been pointed out to me by Alison Guy, Herbie Hawthorne's daughter, that Hamilton Hale son of Francis and Elizabeth Hale who died 12th. April 1951, signed the Ulster Covenant along with Thomas Henry Hawthorne, Emily Hawthorne nee Hale also signed the Covenant
