George Haile of Jamestown THE IMMIGRANT Sex: Male | | | |  | | Birth Date | 1601 JUL 16 Probably Kent, England | | Death Date | 1671 NOV 08 Northumberland County, Virginia | | Father | | Born: | | | Mother | | Born: | | | George Haile of Jamestown
Notes: | George Hale is reputed to be the son of William Hale, Esq., of Kings Walden, and wife Rose Bond, was born July 13, 1601 in Hertfordshire, England
| | Notes: | Many believe that he was the original Hale or Hale emigrant to Virginia, however those who dispute this 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. Perhaps 25 "plantations," or settlements survived along the James River until the first Jamestown census. 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, their task was to produce profitable exports for England. Land 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 in return for passage. Both George Hale/Hall and Thomas Haile, the early emigrants, were indentured servants. George Hale/Hayle left Bristol, England, on the Supply in September 1620.[4] At the Muster of Sir Francis Wyatt as of 24 January 1624/25 we find "Georg Hall, aged 13 (b c 1612) in the Suply 1620."[5] He is said to have accompanied William Tracy to Berkeley Hundred.[2]
| | Notes: | Thomas Haile came over on the George in 1623,[6] which also brought Governor Wyatts wife (it is the boat suspected of bringing the plague to Jamestown). This Thomas Hale/Haile was sentenced to be executed on 4 June 1627 by the General Court at Jamestown for the rape of four young girls in Shirley Hundred.[2] It does not appear as if either of these two early emigrants could be this George Hale. 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. A connection is conceivable between one of these Jamestown fellows from the 1620s and the continuous line of Hailes which Crowe does carefully trace after mid-century from Virginia and Maryland down to our Tennessee forebears at Flynns Lick. Absent evidence for such a connection, however, we cannot even count those two servant boys among Jamestowns lucky survivors, much less imagine them to be direct progenitors of the family name when it appears some thirty years later, north of the Rappahannock River.
