"Of the King's Walden family it is only necessary to say that that manor was bought in 1575 by Richard Hale, citizen and grocer of London, who may be considered the "founder" of the family. Richard was the son of Thomas and Anne (Mitchell) Hale of Codicote, Herts, and seems to have gone in early life to London and there got rich in trade...
The date of Richard's birth is not given, but he was first married in 1550 to Mary Lambert, the mother of his son and heir, William, and died at a very advanced age in 1620... He left a very large estate, and was the founder of a grammar school at Hertford..."
