There was a Robert De la Sale of St. Albans, in the reign of Edward III. (CL). George Sale, the translator of the Koran, was son of a London merchant; he died at Great Marlow, Bucks, in 1737 (CL). According to Cussans, the Hertfordshire Sales hailed from Scotland nearly two centuries ago, and he mentions Francis Sale, a gentleman who was married at Ashwell in 1694.
