I am searching for information on my Hale family that resided in Pulaski County..
My gggGrandfather Richard C. Hale who was born in 1798 in Bedford Co., VA. He died in 1848 in Pulaski county, Ill. Richard C. Hale married Driscilla Mathews, who was also born in Bedford County VA.
Richard C. and Driscilla (Mathews) Hale were natives of Bedford County, VA. He was born in 1798 and when a young man moved to Alabama, and afterward to Hardin County, Tenn. then going to Pulaski County, Ill. This was the home of himself and wife until their death, Mr. Hale dying in 1848 and Mrs. Hale in 1884, at the age of ninety years. He started in life as a brick mason, but during the latter years of his career became a prominent contractor and builder, and was an influential man in Pulaski County, Ill., taking an active part in local politics. During the last four years of his life he held the office of probate judge. He was a son of Richard Hale, whose birth occurred in Virginia shortly before the Revolutionary War.
Mrs. Hale [Driscilla Matthews] was a daughter of Joseph Cromwell Mathews, formerly from South Carolina, who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War when a young man.
Robert Evans was born in Lauderale County, Ala., in 1824, being the third of three sons and three daughters. He was married in Pulaski County, Ill. in 1848, to Miss Susan J. Hawpe, a daughter of Judge George Hawpe. She was born in Hall County, GA., in 1830. Mr. and Mrs. Hale became the parents of twelve children, Mr Hale made Illinois his home until 1855, when he came to Arkansas and located in that portion of Phillips County, which is now included in Lee County.
At the time of his removal from Pulaski County, Mr. Hale held the position of county treasurer, collector and assessor, and had been postmaster of Haleside for a number of years.
Is there a GoodSpeed Biographical series for IL?
