Notes for Martha HALE
Death was after 07 March 1699/1700 when she brought suit against son Paul for rent of land; later withdrew action. She also brought suit against others for same. (TAG 23:114)
Under date of 23 Mar 1666, the 2nd Gov. John Winthrop, a practicing physician, made the following entry in his medical journal. Peck, Martha: 45 y. wife of Paul of H worms & pain in back & other sickness which thinks is wind 2 dos 5 g N. J. & ig to take after. She is sister of Sam: Hale of Wethersfield, & hath a brother Thomas: Hale at Charlestown, Sent word it wrought well but very sick before it wrought. Again Mar: 28th 9 gr: $: wrought only down. In November 1667. Winthrop treated some of the Peck children who were then recovering from measles. He entered them as "Paul Pecks Children at Hartford" & named them as "Martha 9 years ole." "Also his son of 16 years: & also Hanna Peck his daughter 2 years." (This from a researcher who also asserts Martha was the daughter of Thomas; but Samuel and Thomas her siblings were the children of John and Martha Hale, their baptisms recorded at Watton-at-Stone. John was likely the brother of Thomas, who had children recorded there are similar times.)
