The Name
It is pretty clearly an English name, and could go back to older English hagla, hagele, hagle, hail, for the ice that falls from the sky. But it is more likely just one form of the common English stem ME hal, hale, an adjective meaning "entire," the adverbial form of which is hail, heil. From this stem come the words hale, heal, health, healthy, whole, holy, the greeting hail, etc. During the 17th and 18th centuries no great importance attached to exact spelling, so that we get Haile, Hail, and Hale, although the family seems to prefer Haile. The spelling without an i seems to originate with outsiders, or even Yankees (as they put on Thomas Haile's grave at Camp Chase in Columbus, Ohio). I believe Maude Crowe may have started the quite erroneous spelling Heal(e), the capital H often being written with a flourish on the lower right such as can be taken for He. This is almost certainly an error similar to mistaking the cursive long s (as in Tennessee) for an f (Tennefsee).

Notes for Nicholas Hale III:
Nicholas Hale3 emigrated from Baltimore County to Augusta County, Virginia as early as 1748. In 1749 he was a Justice of Lunenberg County, and when Halifax County was formed from Lunenberg in 1752 he was a Justice of that county. They lived in the far western part of the county which later became Franklin and Bedford Counties.
Talbot family legends hold that Matthew (I) Talbot and Nicholas Hale, III were business partners in Maryland before the two families moved to Virginia.
Hale's Old Mill Creek which empties into the Staunton River, and Hale's Ford both take their names from this branch of the Hale family. They owned much land on both sides of the Staunton River which now forms the border between Bedford and Franklin Counties.

Ruth Acre (abt. 1745, Baltimore, Crowe, pp. 62-65) Richard in 1749, William in 1751, Elizabeth in 1753, Sarah in 1755, all in Bedford, but in "Rowan County North Carolina," were born Nathan in 1757, Amon in 1759, Nicholas in ca. 1762, while Joshua was born back in Baltimore in 1767, where he apparently grew up and was married to Mary Stephensen. Sons Richard, Nathan and Amon enlisted in the Continental Army under Captain Joshua Stephenson back in Baltimore, and it may be that Nicholas's youngest son married the Captain's daughter. But when Nicholas prepared his will in 1807, he had returned to Watauga.

Revolutionary War pension records.

AMON HALE applied for his revolutionary pension on 17 Apr 1833, a resident of Washington County. He declared he was born in North Carolina on 16 Jun 1759, but when an infant was taken by his father to Baltimore County, Maryland. He entered the service in Baltimore County under Joshua Stephenson. He died in Washington County, Dec. 4, 1843. His widow, Mary Hale applied for pension while living in Washington County, 18 Dec 1843, and was then 79 years old. She was therefore born 1764. She died Jan. 29, 1849, leaving eight living children, two children having predeceased her The original Bible pages are enclosed in application showing that Amon Hale was born June 16, 1759, that the marriage took place Sept. 30, 1785, that their children were: Elizabeth, born 1786; Martha, born 1788; Jessie, born 1791; Macajah B., born 1793; Robert G., born 1795; Mary, born 1797; Joshua, born 1800: Prisse (the name begins clearly with P, the rest uncertain) born 1802; Amon C., born 1805; and Ruth, born 1807.

NATHAN HALE applied for pension in Nov. 1832, a resident of Giles County, Tennessee. He declared that he was born in North Carolina in 1757 and when a child his father moved the family to Baltimore County, Maryland. He enlisted while he was residing in Baltimore County in Col. Joshua Stephenson's Maryland regiment. Richard Hale of Giles County desposed that he was in the Revolution, and Nathan Hale declared that his father moved after the Revolution to Washington County, Tennessee, and that Nathan later removed to Giles County. (Revolutionary War Pension file S4311, abstracted by Mrs. Sarah Smith). According to the 1835 Pension Roll, Nathan HALE, Giles County, Tennessee, had been a Private with the Maryland Line, $20.00 Annual Allowance, $60.00 Amount Rec'd, Jan 9, 1834 Pension Started, Age 77.
