General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Dale

---

The Dales came from England to the American colonies at an early period, settling in New England, Virginia and Pennsylvania. The inference is that the Virginia and Pennsylvania families were related. Bishop Meade in his "Old Churches, Ministers and Families of Virginia," says, "I must not forget to mention among the families of Norfolk county, that of Dale,
an ancient and respectable one of this and sur-rounding counties."
Winfield Dale, a "respectable shipwright" of Portsmouth, Norfolk County, Virginia, was the father of Commodore Richard Dale, born in Norfolk County, November 6, 1756, the famous naval hero who fought as first lieu-tenant with John Paul Jones and was the first Yankee to leap aboard the "Serapis," where he received the sword of the British Captain Pearson.
