Profile & Legacies Summary

???? - 1743

Biography

Son of Thomas Hals III from whom he presumably inherited Halse Hall. Thomas Richard died in 1743 leaving his estate to his mother Elizabeth nee Hemming. It's not clear whether or not Halse Hall had been inherited in trust, but on the death of Thomas Richard, Halse Hall passed to his uncle Francis Sadler (son of Thomas Richard's grandmother Mary Rose by her second husband Charles Sadler). Francis Sadler changed his name to Francis Sadler Hals in 1746.
