 Hare was residing in Norton Folgate at some period between 1581 and 1594.In 1600 he was in some trouble, presumed to be on account of his religion; On 23 January 1601 the Cambridge senate passed a grace that a letter should be written in the name of the university to Sir Robert Cecil, so that Hare might not be hindered in his good works related to the highways.Hare's brother Michael died on 11 April 1611, and, though he had been twice married, left no issue.
