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.

Notes:

Name:
Son of Caleb Moody and Judith Bradbury

Imprisoned in 1688 for resisting the Dominion of New England in America under Governor Sir Edmund Andros

"During the tyrannical administration of Andros, Mr. Moody was imprisoned five weeks, for daring to speak and act like a freeman; his account of which is graphically given in Coffin's History of Newbury, p. 150. The chief offence seemd to be his having in his possession a paper, the title of which was,
'New England alarmed,
To rise and be armed,
Let not papist you charme,
I mean you no harme,' &c.
The purport of the paper was to give notice to the people of the danger they were in, being under the sad circumstances of an arbitrary government."
