Surnames: Hale Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GKB.2ACE/1739 Message Board Post: In the late 1800's there was a George Hale who was a judge in Douglas County. I believe that he passed away in about 1887. At about the same time there was a judge in Christian County, Reuben(Rube) Lafyette Hale. Were these two men related to each other? Please contact me if you know anything about the relationship of these two men. Thanks brian in springfield missouri
