HADLEY The founder of the New Eng- land branch of the Hadley family was George Hadley, who came from England to Ipswich, Massa- chusetts, before 1639. Like the majority of the Puritan settlers of New England, he had too little love for the country from which he had been driven by persecution, and was too busy with the difficult task of making a home in a new land to leave any record of his English home. There is no doubt he pos- sessed all the moral worth and all the devo- tion to religious convictions which marked the Puritan character. His descendants may well be proud of the fact that their ancestor was one of the founders of New England, a title which Judge Samuel P. Hadley says is to his mind "more honorable than any a Stuart or any other king could bestow."
It may be well to call attention here to an- other branch of the Hadley family which has no connection on this side of the Atlantic with the New England Hadleys. The Quaker Hadleys of Indiana and North Carolina are descended from Simon Hadley, who came to America in 1712 from king's county, Ireland, where his English ancestors had settled. The two branches doubtless came from common stock in England, as is indicated by the re- peated use of certain names which seem to be a family inheritance. Possibly in the near fu- ture some member of the family may be able
to trace the family pedigree back, as some be- lieve it can be traced to John Hadley, who was Lord Mayor of London in the years 1377 and 1392 ..
