Jonathan Harriman Hale 1800-1846
Jonathan Harriman Hale was born in Bradford (now Groveland), Massachusetts on February 1, 1800. He was the fourth of eight children born to Solomon and Martha Harriman Hale.
When twenty-four years of age and still unmarried, Jonathan started out for himself. He left the old hometown of Bradford, Massachusetts where he was born and where he grew to manhood and located in Dover, New Hampshire, about forty miles to the north. This was in September 1824. He went into the butchering business with Stephen Palmer, his brother-in-law, who married his sister Sarah. This partnership continued until 1827 when it was dissolved.
In the meantime, a very important event occurred---he got married. He must have carried on a successful courtship with a beautiful young lady while he was still living at the family home in Bradford, Massachusetts for it was a hometown girl that he married.
“I was married on September 1, 1825. My wife was born in Bradford, Essex County, Massachusetts on July 30, 1805. Her name was Olive Boynton, daughter of Eliphalet Boynton, who was the son of Samuel Boynton. Her mother was Susannah Nichols, daughter of Lieutenant Jacob Nichols.”
