Rachel Lurania Melvina Hale was born on November 19, 1936 in Alabama or Georgia. In her later life, she was known as Melvina. She, like her two older sisters never married but had children. She was the mother of 5 children: Amos Pinkney "Pink", Nancy Josephine "Josie", Stephen T., Charles Monroe and Union Elizabeth "Lizzie." Melvina lived at home with her parents until after 1870. After her father died, she, her children and her mother moved to Carroll County, Georgia. Melvina died after 1900, probably in Carroll County, Georgia. The photo to the right is of Melvin with two of her great-grandchildren. The one in her lap is Ruge. I do not know the name of the one standing.
Nancy Josephine “Josie” Hale was born in 1859 in Alabama. Nothing more is known about Josie. Her younger sister, Union Elizabeth “Lizzie” Hale was born in January 1873 in Georgia. Lizzie married John C. Moore before 1893. There are 4 known children to the union of Lizzie and John: James A., Cicero Hampton, Stephen W. and Mary Rebecca. By 1920, John and Lizzie moved their family to Marshall County, Alabama. Lizzie died after 1930, probably in Marshall County.
Charles Monroe Hale was born in February 1868 in Georgia. He married his cousin, Julia L. Hale, a daughter of Sarah Nancy Elizabeth Jane 'Sis' Hale. Julia was born in February 1882 in Alabama. Five children were born in this marriage: William Oscar, Grady Monroe, Ida B., Edna M. and Charley L. Charles died on December 26, 1906, just 5 months after his youngest child was born. Julia died when her youngest child was just 4 years old on September 7, 1910 in Randolph County, Alabama. They are both buried at Prospect Congregational Methodist Church Cemetery in Randolph County, Alabama.
Further details into the lives and families of Amos Pinkney and Stephen T. Hale will be in a later post.
