Since George Wale of Virginia could own land by 1655, he must have been born before 1634. Since he was a Doctor and served as a Justice, he went to school, and so was probably born well before 1634, on the order of 1630 or earlier ....

As for the Lawson surname, the below is extracted from Jackie Weeden, "GEORGE WALE/WHALEY/etc. of Lancaster Co VA and Somerset Co MD." Her paper cites the Sparacio abstracts for Virginia records and various Maryland histories.

In May 1672, Lewye [sic, should be Lewys or Lewis] Wale was granted authority to administer George Wale's estate. She married William Edmonds between 12 Nov. 1672 (when she was mentioned as Lewye Wale admnrx of George Wale (deceased)) and 4 Dec. 1672 (when she was mentioned as Lewye Edmonds, widow and relict and administratix of George Wale deceased in Lancaster County, Virginia).

The son of George Wale of Virginia, also named George Wale, died before 8 Aug. 1689 when Lettice Lawson, widow and relicte of George Wale, decd, presented the inventory of his estate in Lancaster County showing that Lettice had remarried to someone named Lawson by then.

Note: There are no entries in Boyd's Marriage Index from 1580 to 1660 for men named George Wale to someone with a first name like Lewis, nor do any of these entries contain surnames familiar from Lancaster County land abstracts.

Conclusions:

1. George Wale of Virginia was not the George Wale who was born after 1608 to Thomas Wale of Radwinter, since that George Wale died in England in 1720.

2. The birth timeframe of George Wale of Virginia is unknown, but must be before 1634, since he could own land in 1655.

3. The maiden name of Lewys/Lewis Wale, wife of George Wale Sr., is unknown.

<Unknown> Wale

Notes for <Unknown> Wale:

Old Somerset of the Eastern Shore of Maryland

Wale (also Whale and, later, Whaley). Edward Wale was in the Pocomoke section when Somerset was created August, 1666. He first owned and lived on lands ("Aquintica" and "Springfield") on Pocomoke River which had been conveyed to him by George Wale and Lewis, his wife. These lands Edward Wale sold to Thomas Newbold and removed about 1678 to the Sinepuxent section on the seaboard side. Edward Wale (d. 1718), m. January 29, 1668/9, Elizabeth Ratcliff (sister of Charles Ratcliff, of Somerset County), and had issue: (1) John, 1669; (2) Sarah, 1671; (3) Charles, 1673; (4) George, 1678; (5) Elizabeth, 1677; m. William Turvile (or Turvill); (6) Bridget, 1681; m. Ebenezer Franklin; (7) William, 1683; (8) Nathaniel, 1686; (9) Rachel, 1688; (10) Elias, 1690-1720) (IKL; O 5, p. 358; O 18, p. 18; Md. Cal. Wills, IV, p. 165, and V, p. 44). The Wale, or Whaley, family, of Somerset County, for many years made claim (traditionally) to descent from the celebrated Edward Whalley, "the Regicide," but finally abandoned the claim. In Penna. Mag. of Hist. and Biog., IV, p. 258, appears a letter by Dr. Robert P. Robins, May 24, 1880, in which the evidence against this claim is well summed up.

Note: Thomas Wale of Dutton-Bassett, Leicestershire, England and/or Chelmsford, Essex, England, born abt 1529 and the father of Joanna Wale who married Thomas Almy of St. David, Barton, Somersetshire, England is also the ancestor of this file's compiler, and may be related to this Wale family.
