JOHN HALE

John HALE applied for Revolutionary pension in 1833 while living in Bledsoe County, Tenn. He was born in Bedford County. Va. in 1753 or 1754. He enlisted in Bedford County. Va.. in 1776. He volunteered in Capt. Harry Bluford's Company. Lieut. John Frields, Ensign Abram Sharp. They marched to the Cherokee Country and were in the battle of Long Island. He was discharged and returned home. He went to school and re-enlisted under Capt. Charles Watkins. He had 24 months' service in all. His discharge was burned in Blount County in 1803. After the War he moved to Wythe County, Va.. then to Greene County, Tenn.. to Washington County, Tenn., to Blount County, Tenn. and then to Bledsoe County about 1813.

I think my gg grandfather John HALE was born about 1815 in Wyhte County, VA. He married Sarah Fawbush (born 1822 in Sullivan Tenn.) about 1840. My gg grandfather and his spouse Sarah are listed in the 1860 census in Magoffin County, KY.

Could this John HALE born 1753-1754 in Bedford County, VA be related to my gg grandfather?

Thanks for any help.
