The image was taken at the Brigham studio, "Opposite City Hall" in Dover, New Hampshire.
Andrew Rollins Hale was the son of New Hampshire US Congressman William Hale (1765-1848) and Lydia (Rollins) Hale (1772-1841) of Dover, New Hampshire. It appears that Andrew, a farmer who never married, spent his life in Dover.
Presumably Andrew lived in his youth in his father's house, the William Hale House, also called the Lafayette House, because the Marquis once stayed there. The house was built in 1806 and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980.
If you have information to share on the Hale and Rollins families of New Hampshire, please leave a comment for the benefit of other researchers.
