Sir Matthew Hale was twice married; first to Anne More, the sister of Sir Henry More, of Fanley, Berks, Knight; and secondly, to Anne, daughter of - Bishop, Esq. of the same place. By the former he had six children: Robert, Matthew, Thomas, Edward, Mary, and Elizabeth. They were all living in 1662, the date affixed to one of these letters; and the eldest, Robert, was at that time in his 23d year. It is to this son he alludes in the above-mentioned letter, when he says, "Let the original be laid up safely for your brother R". These letters of Sir Matthew Hale were written when he was on the circuit: - thus the duties of the parent were fulfilled, without interfering with those of the judge.
