About Col. Robert Hale, of Beverly
notes
Col. Robert Hale was a student in Harvard when his mother married again and he taught school in Exeter in his vacations. He graduated in 1721, followed his father's example and married his step-sister, Elizabeth Gilman, in 1723 and lived in the old house in Beverly. This will explain the close intimacy between Col. Robert Hale and the young men of the Gilman family of his generation. While the intermarriages go on for three more generations and become even more confusing, it will be best to leave further elucidations until later.
