   S. Allyn Peck has found baptisms of Thomas [24 June 1610], Samuel [1 July 1615] and Martha [16 December 1618], children of John and Martha Hale, at Watton-at-Stone, Hertfordshire, at a likely date, and suggests that these may be the immigrants to Connecticut [TAG 38:237-39].

He too received a colonial grant, for 60 acres, for the Pequot War service, May 1671. The grant for 110 acres to the two brothers was not laid out until 1703, when Thomas Dickinson of Glastonbury, who had purchased the rights of the heirs of Thomas and Samuel, had the land surveyed to him.

Welles estate, which appears to have been on the E. side of the Great River; and it is an evidence of the then existing lack of conveniences of domestic life, that the ho. had no staircase, and the 2d floor was reached only by a ladder.
