Cathy..................Have run across the Haile family through researching Croxton/Minter and Meshew in VA/NC and SC. I am under the opinion that the Hailes (possibly Hales) were from VA, and moved to the Halifax Co., NC, area circa 1770 time frame, finding a small gold mine in and around the Halifax/ Nash Co lines, which ended up in the hands of the Melton family. The Hailes, Croxtons and some Minters went on South, circa 1785. I think there were Twitty's in tghis same group. I will have to get my papers out, and see what I can verify. My GGGF Jesse Meshew (originally Micheaux or Michaux) married Elizabeth Croxton, daughter of Benjamin and Mary Minter Croxton. They left Lancaster Co., SC, circa 1808, and were in Western KY in 1810, having spent a summer or two in TN. They finally got to the far Western KY counties in or about 1825. Good luck in your searching. Ron Meshew, in Rocky Mount, NC.
