Assuming that Asa's wife is the free white female listed in the 1820 census as then being between 16 and 26 years of age, she would have been born between 1794 and 1804, according to the 1820 census. Assuming that the other person in Asa's household is a child of Asa and/or his wife, that child would have consisted of one sons ( which son would have been born between 1810 and 1820, according to the 1820 census). (3) History of White County, IL, Chicago, IL: Inter-State Publishing Co., 1883, p. 883: His [Franklin Hale's] father, Asa Hale, came to this county in 1830 with five children, Franklin being the fourth.

Assuming that Asa is the free white male listed in the 1830 census as then being between 30 and 40 years of age, he would have been born between 1790 and 1800, according to the 1830 census. Assuming that Asa's wife is the free white female listed in the 1830 census as then being between 30 and 40 years of age, she would have been born between 1790 and 1800, according to the 1830 census. Assuming that the other persons in Asa's household are children of Asa and/or his wife, those children would have consisted of four sons (one of which sons would have been born between 1815 and 1820, and three of which sons would have been born between 1820 and 1825, according to the 1820 census) and one daughter (which daughter would have been born between 1825 and 1830, according to the 1830 census).
