2. From Roy L. Hales 14 Feb 2016:
"Was there Originally a Single Hales Family?
Many of our family believe the quest for Hales Origins starts with a landed family in Norfolk, who were ancestral to the Hales family of Kent.
In 1659, Thomas Philpott wrote that Hales Place in High Halden, Kent, as the source "from whence as from their fountain, the several streams of the Hales's that in rivlets have spread themselves over the while country, did break forth." He was, of course, looking back during the three centuries in which the descendants of Nicholas de Hales (circa 1327) spread across England and made significant contributions to the nation's history.
From a genealogical perspective, it is noteworthy that there were a number of Hale entries in Archbishop Pecham's survey of Kent Manors 1283-85 (Kent Archaeological Society 2006):
-Richard, Thomas & Robert at Hale - From the Demese of Hale in Wrotham Hundred (p 293)
-Henry at Hale in Boughton (pp 170 & 174)
-John at Hale in Maidstone (p 107)
-John at Halle (p 76 & 78) and Helewis at Hale (pp 78, 82) in Reculver (Bleangate Hundred)
-Willliam at Halle (p 34) , Richard at Hale, John at Hale (p 42) in Wingham
These were Hales families living on the Archbishop of Canterbury's manors.
The lay subsidy of 1334 - compiled when Nicholas de Hales had two sons (Robert & Nicholas) - has 40 "ate Hale/Halle" entries, many in areas outside of the Archbishop's control, though there is an overlap. These all pertained to landed families, whose name would now be translated as either "Hale" or "Hales":
-Adam atte Hale - Aylesford Hundred (1s 61⁄2d)

Two of the three Hales are mentioned in the great peasant rebellion of 1381 were from Kent:
-Sir Robert de Hales, (s/o Nicholas de Hales) Lord High Treasurer of England, is the most famous. The peasants beheaded him because of the poll tax, used to finance the war with France. Hales was also a crusader, "hero" of the 1365 sack of Alexandria and the Lord/Grand Prior of the Knights Hospitallers of England. One of that order's historians believes he was the model that Chaucer used for the knight in Canterbury Tales.
-John de Hales of Malling has been called "the first and principal originator of the insurrection" and looted Canterbury, (R B Robson, THE PEASANT'S REVOLT OF 1381 (edition of 1970, pp 120-122) but appears to be little known outside of Kent. He was not related to Nicholas de Hales.
-Stephen de Hales was the sheriff of Norfolk. He was captured by the peasants, but when the opportunity arose joined an attack against them. He could be distantly related to Nicholas, who is believed to have come from Norfolk.
There are at least 19 Hales entries in surviving English muster rolls from 1370-1417, and six were archers (i.e. probably peasants who did not own land):
-John de Hales - Armed archer served under Brice, John (Lt of the Admiral towards the North) in 1370 TNA E101/30/37 m2
-John Hales, Esquire, Man-at-arms served under Ferrariis, Ralph de, Sir (Admiral of the North) 1371-1372 TNA E101/31/28 m3

-John Hales, Man-at-arms served under Fiennes, Roger, Sir in the army of Gloucester, Humphrey, Duke of 1417 Exped France TNA E101/51/2 m16
-John Hales, Man-at-arms, served under Cornwall, John, Sir in the army of Gloucester, Humphrey, Duke of 1417 Exped France TNA E101/51/2 m35
Thus it would seem that only a specific stream of those bearing the surname "Hales" descend from the landed families of Norfolk and Kent."
