JAMES D. HADLEY, farmer and stock-raiser, is a native of Chatham County,
N.C., was born August 30, 1807, and is the eighth of the nine children of
JEREMIAH and RUTH (MARIS) HADLEY, also natives of North Carolina, who moved
to this State about 1823, located in this township, and entered 720 acres of
Government land, on which they lived and died.  James began the struggle of
life on the home farm, and obtained what education he could command from the
public schools.  October 1, 1831, he married MATILDA MORRIS, of North
Carolina, and to this union were granted the following children:  ESTHER
(deceased), RUTH, ELI (deceased), MARTHA J. (deceased), ENOS (killed in the
late war), ELI A., MARTHA J. and NATHAN R.  Mr. Hadley is the owner of a
good farm of 120 acres, and has been owner of 600, much of which he has
given to his children, and all of which he acquired by well-direted industry
and frugality.  He is a Republican in politics, a liberal gentleman, an
upright citizen, and, with his wife, one of the adherents of the Society of
Friends.
