We are all familiar with the story of the heroic martyr, Nathan Hale, the spy of the Revolutionary days, whose monument stands in City Hall Park, New York. Edward Everett Hales writings are well known and he was for many years the honored and loved chaplain of the United States Senate, to whose halls in later years Massachusetts sent Senator Hale as her representative. In the preceding pages we state the coming of the Hale family to America, as a Colonial family, from Kent, England, in the year 1. Kentish Hales. We also stated that one of the brothers drifted south to Virginia, some years prior to the beginning of the revolution, and located in what is now Franklin county, Va. Lewis Hale was from this branch of the Hale family, and married Mary Burwell, who was a descendant from the Burwells of Jamestown, Va. The Burwells were early settlers at Jamestown, and official members of the First Episcopal Church at Jamestown, Va. Soon after his marriage, Lewis Hale and his family moved from what is now Franklin county, Va., to the upper part of the New River Valley, and settled on Elk Creek, Va. At the time he started from Franklin, he and his brother in law, John Walden, expected to settle in Kentucky. After they came to the New River valley, they learned that the Indians were very troublesome in Tennessee, and John Walden as he had no family decided to go on horse back, look out a place for them to settle, and return. He took with him some money, disguised himself as a poor traveller and started on his way, but was killed by the Indians, and robbed of his money.

When Lewis Hale learned the fate of John Walden, he and his family decided to remain in the Valley of Elk Creek. He reared a family of six sons and two daughters, settled them all in good homes, in the valley near him, and for yeas Elk Creek was known as the Hale Settlement.

The surname of Henderson is derived from HenryHenrys son, which in time became Henrison, Hendrickson, Henderson. Wm. Campbell. Once when discussing the monument of Geri. Campbell, which is at his grave near Seven Mile Ford, and in sight of the railroad, and which had been pointed out to me from the train, Capt. Hale seemed to know much more about the history of Campbell and his men than I did at that time. It was in this connection that he mentioned that his grandfather had been a soldier and I am nearly sure that he said that he served with Campbell. I find, however, that he was not a member of Campbells regiment proper. Campbell was colonel commandant for Washington county, while Walter Crockett was colonel commandant for Montgomery county. Lewis Hale evidently belonged to Crocketts command. A few of Crocketts men served with Campbell at the battle of Kings Mountain, October 7th, 1. Crocketts command, served under Campbell in the battle of Guilford Court House, March 1. At Guilford, Col. Campbell had a very bitter quarrel with Col. Henry Lee Light Horse Harry about certain maneuvers on the battle field, and after the battle was over Campbell resigned his commission as colonel, and a few weeks later, Governor Jefferson made him a general, and sent him to command in the east with Lafayette, and a little later he died of pneumonia. Outside of Kings Mountain and Guilford, Campbells military career was in suppressing Indian raids and local bands of Tories. Lewis Hale was in Crocketts territory Montgomery County. To my mind the conclusion is almost irresistible that Lewis Hale, as a member of Crocketts command, was attached to Campbells command, and participated in one or perhaps both of the above named battles. Lewis Hale cleared up land, built houses, and accumulated property, and was a useful citizen of this once wilderness country. He died July 2nd, 1. Eli C. Hale, and now is held by Eli Scott Hale, youngest son of Eli C. Hale. Lewis Hale was called out in the militia and was in the battle of Kings Mountain. His six sons were in the War of 1. Norfolk, Va.
