County, N.C., January 1, 1811, and is the third of the six children born to
JOHN and HANNAH (ALLEN) HADLEY, both natives of North Carolina, and
respectively of Irish and English extraction.   Samuel was reared on the
farm, and attended the subscription schools, and studied so as to be
prepared for teaching, which he followed until 1835, when he came by
horseback and located at Monrovia, Ind., and the following winter taught
school here.  He afterward engaged in mercantile business for some twelve
years.  March 18, 1839, he married JANE CLARK, who died eleven years
thereafter, and after he wedded, in 1852, ELIZA W., widow of JESSE REYNOLDS,
to which union was born one child--JESSE H.  Mr. Hadley is a practical
farmer, owning 177 acres of well-cultivated and improved land, containing
good residence, barns, fencing, orchards, etc.  He is now a Republican, but
gave his maiden vote for Henry Clay in 1832.  He has been School Examiner,
and has held the office of Postmaster of Monrovia.  Mr. and Mrs. Hadley are
