The Hale Family - Daughters of Mahala Hale

Sarah Nancy Elizabeth Jane Hale was born on September 30, 1852 in Randolph County, Alabama, the oldest daughter of Mahala. Sarah, known as Sis, lived her whole life in Randolph County, Alabama, and like her mother and aunts, she had several children without marrying. Sis became the mother of one son and five daughters: W. Charles, Mary, Elizabeth, Ida, Julia L. and Josie. Sis died on October 19, 1923 in Randolph County, Alabama. Sis is buried in Prospect Congregational Methodist Church Cemetery in Randolph County, Alabama.
W. Charles Hale was born on February 11, 1871 in Randolph County, Alabama. In 1892, he married Nancy Ellen and had the following children: Bertha, Hattie, Millard M., Ethel, Annie, Stella, William G., Harvey and Leonard Howard. Charles died on November 5. 1914 in Randolph County, Alabama and is buried with his wife in Prospect Congregational Methodist Church Cemetery in Randolph County, Alabama.

Julia L. Hale was born in February 1882. She married Charles Monroe Hale, son of Rachel Lurania Melvina Hale, her grandmother's sister. Charles and Julia were the parents of the following children: William Oscar, Grady Monroe, Ida B., Edna M. and Charley L. The picture to the left was taken before Charley was born. Charles died when his youngest son was 5 months old, on December 26, 1906. Julia died a few years later on September 7, 1910. The couple is buried at Prospect Congregational Methodist Church Cemetery in Randolph County, Alabama.
Little is known about the other daughters of Sis. Josie and Elizabeth appeared to have died without marrying. Josie is buried at Prospect Congregational Methodist Church Cemetery in Randolph County, Alabama. I do not know anything about Mary.

Mary J. Hale, pictured left, was born in February 1862 in Randolph County, Alabama, the second daughter of Mahala. I do not know if Mary married or had children, or even when she died. I know she was alive in 1880, as she was living with her mother in Coweta County, Georgia. There is a marriage record in Coweta County, Georgia for a Mollie Hale and a Richard Thrower. They were married in May of 1884. I do not know if this is Mary. More documents are needed to know one way or another.

Frances Rebecca Hale was the third daughter of Mahala, born in 1863 in Randolph County, Alabama. Frances married Silas Olin Garrett on June 16, 1881 in Coweta County, Georgia. They had the following children: Fred Hill, William Homer, Andrew Levi, Reuben Jackson, Mirty Lou, Brillie Jane, Cora Levy, Johnny Herman, Grady Monroe and Edna Pinkney. I have not yet researched this family, so more details will be provided once I do. Frances died on January 16, 1926 in Roanoke, Alabama.

Georgia Ann Hale, pictured left, was the fourth daughter of Mahala, born in October 1865 in Randolph County, Alabama. On December 24, 1882 in Coweta County, Georgia, Georgia married Elijah W. Hammond. They became the parents of the following chilren: Homer Jackson, Noda Bell, Mary Ad, William Irvin, Milton, Georgia Brillie, Robert L., Lula M., Linnie A., Benjamin, Levi L., Charner M., Arnold W. and Exey. Georgia died in 1956 in DeKalb County, Alabama.

Lue E. Hale was the youngest daughter of Mahala. She was born in February 1875 in Alabama. Nothing further is known about Lue.
