John Woodson Hale was the son of William and Elizabeth Francis Hale. Spouse of Sidney A. Bean Hale. She was the daughter of Robert and Margaret Penney Bean. Wood and Sidney were the parents of twelve children. Three of their children died as infants or were stillborn and their names are not known. Their nine surviving children were:
1. Mary Jane "Jennie" (also known as "Jannie") Hale, born Sept. 2, 1861 in Tennessee.
2. John S. Hale, born 1864 in Tennessee.
3. Nancy Isabelle Hale, born July 20, 1865 in Tennessee.
4. William Hale, born 1867 in Missouri.
5. Robert Hale, born 1868 in Missouri.
6. Charles Fount Hale, born February 21, 1871 in Dallas Co., Missouri.
7. Sarah Margaret Hale, born February 18, 1875 in Missouri.
8. Lillie F. Hale, born February 1876 in Missouri.
9. James Emett Hale, born abt. 1878 in Missouri.
10. Infant Daughter Hale, born March 17, 1884 in Polk Co., Missouri; died March 17, 1884
John Woodson Hale was probably named after his uncle, John Woodson Francis (b. 1813 in Roane Co., Tennessee).

John W. Hale, 27, is shown in the 1860 U.S. Federal Census in District 11, Smith Co., Tennessee in the household of David Stafford, 63, and his wife, Edith, 62. He is listed as a laborer. It was right about this time that John married Sidney Bean, according to a census record that states the year of marriage was 1860 in Tennessee.
In 1868 the Hales moved from Tennessee to southwest Missouri near the town of Buffalo. They moved to Missouri with their friends, William E. and Dicie Dunaway, and quite possibly Sidney's parents, Robert and Margaret Bean, who either moved with them or shortly after since Robert and Margaret are shown as living three households away from John and Sidney in the 1870 census in Grant Township, Dallas, Co., Missouri.
In the 1870 census in Grant Township John and Sidney are enumerated on the record as follows: John, 42, is listed as head of household and living with him are his wife, Sidney A., 36, and their children: Mary J., 9, Johnny, age 8.
Ten years later in 1880 they are shown as living in Greene Township in neighboring Polk County, Missouri. They are enumerated as follows: John, 44, is listed as head of household. Others listed are his spouse, Sidney A., 38, and the following children: Mary J., 17, John S., 16, Nancy I., 14, William, 13, Robert, 12, Fount, 9, Sarah M., 6, Lillie F., 3, James Emett, age 3 months. The Hales remained in Polk County for the remainder of their life. No census record found for them in 1890 but they are shown as still living in Polk County in the 1900 census. All of their children have left home by now except for a daughter and son-in-law living with them, Lily F. Hale Monroe, 24, and her husband, William T. Monroe, 29. and their infant son, William B. Monroe. John, 66, and Sidney, 60, also have a grandson living with them in 1900, Wood Dryer.
The census records up until 1900 are pretty unreliable as far as what would be the correct age for John and Sidney. I believe the 1900 census comes closest to actually showing the correct ages for both of them. There is nothing found on them until after Sidney's death on November 1, 1909 when John then had his will drawn up about three weeks after his wife died. The will was made on November 22, 1909 in Polk County and he signed it with his mark. He died less than a month later. His son-in-law William T. Monroe was the executor of John's will.

Note: No official record of birth, death or marriage exists for John or Sidney. Their son Fount Hale stated that he had no proof of his birth because the building (courthouse) that held the records burned.
Research is still being done on this family. If you have anything to contribute that would shed light on their life, contact me and I'll see that it is added to their record. Any help would be appreciated.
