      (2) Southern Arkansas Biographical and Historical Memoirs [database online], Provo, UT: The Generations Network, Inc., 2003, p. 670 [Biographies of Ouachita County, AR]:

      Hosea Hale . . . was born February 29, 1768. He married Sarah Green, and to this union were born eight children, viz.: Jessey, Lucy, John, Martha, William, James, Joseph and Benjamin. In 1807 he moved to Clark County, Ga., followed in 1810 by his father, and in 1811 by his youngest brother Joel. They continued their vocation, that of farming, in this county until death called them hence. . . . Hosea Hale was a very quiet, unassuming Christian, and he served his God through the Baptist Church, holding family prayer night and morning, and serving his church in the capacity of deacon for nearly one-half century. He passed off quietly on January 1, 1839, at the age of seventy years ten months and two days.
