Surnames: Hale Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/igB.2ACE/2454.1 Message Board Post: While trying to track down my line which included a Robert Hale b. 1869 I found in the 1920 Cocke county TN census a record of a Robert Hale b. 1869 living next door to a John (b. abt 1885) and Ollie (b. abt 1889) Hale who had a half brother James Hale (b. abt 1868) who was living in the same household with them. Next door to that family was a Luther and Hattie Hale. I'm not sure if this is my Robert as he is listed as Robert L. Hale If it is the same one this is how he is listed on the 1910 census and 1900 census (where I found him in Sullivan county, Bristol lving next door to his mother Annie L. Hale). However on the 1880 census he is listed as Robert C. Hale and in the home of his grandfather along with his mother and brother. Don't know if this helps any or not but thought I'd share since it was some similar names
