John Heald, (or Hale) as the name was often spelled in the early records, was one of the first settlers of Concord, Massachusetts. Some say 1635, but it was probably 1638 to 1641.
He was admitted as a "freeman" into the colony June 2, 1641, and lived for some time at Roxbury and Cambridge, before settling in Concord. He received his first land grant in Concord in 1654 of 7 acres. He later got a land grant of about 100 acres. As he died in 1662, he had only 8 years in which to work the 100 acres.
The Magna Carta, expressly permitted every man (except apprentices and bound servants) to vote in town meetings after taking the oath of fidelity. In the Colony affairs one also had to be a church member to vote. These were called "freemen."
Note: On Parents: Some genealogy files have John's parents as[ Thomas Heald Thomas Heald (Hail)] b. 1588 and Mary Turner b.1583. Most of these also have John coming from Berwick upon Tweed. It may be that an early genealogist had this wrong and it has been copied without verification. No one is certain.(from Heald's of Cheshire England) (Sources: - 1)
HALE, hal, Welsh, a moor; bayle, a salt water river. The name is variously spelled in early New England records as Heald, Heale, Healle, Hale, Halle, Hail, Haille, Haule, etc. Descendants of John Heald, with whom this sketch begins, who stayed in the vicinity of Concord, retained the spelling Heald, while those who went to other localities used variations. [1] The Hale families of Kent have existed since the reign of Edward III and, early in the thirteenth century, were numerous in Hertfordshire. [2] I. John HEALD came from Berwick upon Tweed, Northumberland, England. The coat of arms ascribed to him is described in Crozier's General Armory. He was, with Reverend Peter Bulkeley, Elder John Jones and others, a first settler at Concord, Massachusetts, in 1635, which was only fifteen years after the first colony in New England arrived. He was made freeman 2 June 1641 [3], and in 1655 owned four pieces of land comprising eighty six acres. [4] His wife was Dorothy ANDREWS [5], called by one writer [6] a second wife, who survived him. He died 24 May 1662 [7], at Concord, where his will, made five weeks previously, was admitted to probate on 16 June of that year. [8] Some of his CHILDREN may have been born in England. The number ascribed to him varies from nine to fourteen. As named by various writers they are as follows:
John; married 10 June 1661, Sarah, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Dane, or Dean, of Concord. She died 22 July 1689, and John 22 June, previous [9] They lived at Chelmsford and were the parents of at least five children. He was a sergeant under Major Simon Willard in King Philip's War, 1675 and 1676. [10] Timothy; married 26 November 1663, Sarah, daughter of Thomas and Jane Barber, early of Windsor. [11] She was baptized 19 July 1646. They settled on her father's land in Windsor, but in 1679 they moved to Suffield where the name frequently appears as Haile. [12] Of his sons, Thomas lived at Springfield, Josiah at Brookfield, and Timothy and Samuel at Suffield. All wrote the name Hale, though sometimes with double "l." [13] There were five sons and two or three daughters. He died 22 April 1725. Hannah; married 18 May 1658, John Spalding. She died 14 August 1689. [14] Doras (Dorcas), born at Concord 22 May 1645; died 1 March 1650. Gershom, born at Concord 23 March 1647; married Ann VINTON. Dorothy, born 16 October 1649. Thomas, born 19 January 1651; died 22 April 1725; married (1) 18 November 1675, Priscilla, daughter of William and Priscilla Markham, weaver of Hartford and Hadley. [15] She was born 25 July 1654; died 15 April 1712. [16] He married (2) Sarah (Patch) Osborn. There were five sons. He lived at Hadley and Enfield. He was a deacon, [17] and probably a weaver. Isaac, born 1656; married 1697 Elizabeth; died 1717. He had sons Jonathan and Joseph, and only daughter Mary Snow. [18] Israel, born 30 July 1660; died 8 September 1738; married Martha Wright, who died 14 June 1746. They lived at Stow, Massachusetts, changing his name about the time of his arrival there to Hale. Brothers, sisters, and children have written it variously "Hailed ... .. Healed," "Haild" and "Hale." There were two daughters and three sons. Amos. Ebenezer. Samuel. Ephraim. Benjamin. These last five are added by some writers [19], but data seems lacking. Of the other sons, Gershom, Isaac, and Israel "Heale" were taxed at Stow, under Governor Andros
