From "The Wales Family: A Genealogy" by Charles P. Wales

A twin of Sarah Wales.

"He went from Union, CT to South Brimfield with his brother Elijah in 1778. The History of Wales described Shubal (or Shubel as it was also spelled), in its usual flowery and opinionated language, as follows"
'It is far from our desire to saught and belittle Uncle Shubel, as he was familiarly called , and we incur no recreancy in penning a phrase assertive of the fact that he was not accounted as being very store minded, sagacious, or shrewd: his intellect was of the moonshiny order, silvery, smooth, bland, he was moderately agile and dexterous, but not energetic or forcible: never accumulated much property: never was a hard worker, and always contented. Quiet, cheerful apparently untroubled, was a good lad to chore about and do light work, and like the little busy bee, would be ever humming about over some note or ditty in his monotonous but care-defying tone. His moral character was just as uncurst of evil, just clear untaintedness of wrong, and as completely meriting every person's approbation, as could easily be found anywhere connected with our frail humanity.'"
