NOTE: (10031iii) Thomas Hale of Roxbury and Charlestown, MA and Hartford, CT, is often confused with a man of the same name ([20061v_d] Thomas), prob. b. 1610 (in Hertfordshire, as the first Thomas), but living in Newbury, Haverhill and Salem, MA I have followed Savage's cues here in identifying them.
Most genealogies show (20061) Rose Bond as (10030) Thomas's mother. She would have been about six years old at Thomas's birth, so this is impossible. I know of no primary source for this or any genealogy showing Thomas' parents. A similar situation surrounds (20061v) John Hale, purported to also be the son of Rose. She would have been seven years old when she bore him, also an impossibility. I have listed him as (10030) Thomas's brother.
