So shall it be with my father: he shall be called a prince over his posterity, holding the keys of the patriarchal priesthood over the kingdom of God on earth, even the Church of the Latter Day Saints, and he shall sit in the general assembly of patriarchs, even in council with the Ancient of Days when he shall sit and all the patriarchs with him and shall enjoy his right and authority under the direction of the Ancient of Days. |

Notes - BIOGRAPHY: GERSHOM (HEALD) HALE (JOHN1 HEALD I) was born January 23, 1 646/47 in Concord, Middlesex County, MA, and died 1717 in S tow, MA. He married ANN VINTON May 6, 1673 in Concord, Midd lesex County, MA, daughter of JOHN VINTON and ANN. She wa s born April 4, 1656 in Lynn, MA, and died September 4, 169 8 in Springfield, MA BIOGRAPHY: Notes for GERSHOM (HEALD) HALE: BIOGRAPHY: It is uncertain when Gershom and Ann Hale left Concord, bu t was likely soon after the birth of Gershom, Jr., in 1684 . Their daughter Ruth was born in Stow, December 19, 1687 , where Gershom and brothers, Isreal and Isaac were taxed i n 1688. A deed of transfer of land at Stow bears his signat ure as "Held". His brother, Deacon Thomas Hale of Hadley an d Enfield, signed a deed in 1678 as "Haile", writing it fre quently as "Heal" and "Hele". BIOGRAPHY: In 1698 a son was born to Gershom and Ann Hale at Springfie ld. Ann died. BIOGRAPHY: At a meeting of the town of Springfield, 3/11/1700/01, he m oved to the town to grant him 29 acres of land on the Sout h side of Agawam, upon the feeding hill below Isaac Frost' s land. BIOGRAPHY: this was confirmed to him 3/10/1710, 3 years after land wa s granted to him and his sone, Gershom, at West Springfield / In the latter record their names are spelled "Hail", so i t seems a member of this family may have a wide choice. BIOGRAPHY: A document bearing the day the West Springfield grant was m ade, 8/7/1707, of every male person there is in the twent y first year of his age, contains the names of the two Gers homs and a John Hail. In a division of land same day, the n ame is recorded "Haill". BIOGRAPHY: A document bearing date of 4/19/1720, recording a meeting o f the inhabitants, again includes Gershom, Sr and Gershom , Jr and John. Of the same day is a list of people who ha d more recently moved to West Springfield, which contains t he name of Benjamin Hale. Another division of land in Wes t Springfield, 1720, contains the name of Gershom Hale, Sr . An historian, speaking of the marriage of Ruth Haile to N athaniel Bancroft, in 1708, says she was the daughter of "G ershom Haile, who on 11/2/1728, sold to Nathaniel Bancroft , of Springfield, 4 acres of land west of the Conn River an d south of the Agawam River. Mention is made of these trans fers, because of the fact that some writers state that Gers hom Hale died in Springfield in 1717. Since the record of 1 720 land division speaks of both Sr and Jr, it must have re ferred to this father and son, because the son himself, bor n 1684, was at that time but 36 , hardly old enough to hav e had a son sharing in the division of land in 1720. Gersho m Sr was about 73 at the time.
