My grandfather was Lonnie Hale, his father was Jefferson (Jeff) Hale, his grandfather was Harrison Hale, and his great grandfather was Isham Hale, of Bledsoe and Van Buren counties in TN. Talk in our family was that we had a Rev. war soldier named John in our line but no one could prove it. We can't get any futher back than Isham, born about 1800 and the info I have on this John you've found doesn't quite seem to match with Isham being his son. He married a woman named Nancy in 1826 and they had seven children.I believe they are listed in the 1830 and 1850 census.
