Notes:

Excerpt from "Descendants of Thomas Hale": Was generally known as Capt. Ezekiel Hale. Was a man of wealth and influence. He lived in that part of Newbury set off as West Newbury (at first Parsons) in 1819. No record is found of him in the Essex probate office, and none in the Essex Register of Deeds later than 1769. The last of his children appearing on the Newbury town records is Persis (1767), though four were afterward born. These facts seem to make it probable that he removed from Essex county in or soon after 1769--probably, to some adjacent New Hampshire town, where his latest children were born. He is variously described as "husbandman," "yeoman" and "gentleman." He appears to have been a farmer and a man of handsome estate.
