HADLEY
The name Hadley is of ancient orgin and is found in several English countries, including Middlesex, Suffolk and Somerset. As a family name Hadley appears in England from very early times in various forms. We find it in the twelfth century as deHaddeleigh and deHaddesley. The name has undergone several changes having been variously written Headley,Hedly and Hadley. Some authorities state that the name is composed of two Saxon words, head( high or elevated) and leagh( place), which perhaps accounts for the spelling and pronunciation of the word Headley.
George Hadley of Ipswich, Massachusetts, the original emigrant, was a native of England and came to this country previous to 1639. He was born about 1600. One account says he was about 40 years of age when he went to Ipswich and settled there in 1635; if that is so, he must of been born in 1595. He resided in Ipswich until December 1655 when he moved to Rowley on the Merrimack River near Haverhill, Massachusetts. In this remote frontier home he spent eleven years and without a doubt had the hard experiences of New England settlers. In November 1666 he exchanged his Rowley farm with Thomas Kimball of Ipswich and immediately removed there. The Kimball farm was in the westerly part of Ipswich known as the Line Brook Parish near Topsfield.
It may be of interest to state that on May 3, 1676 the house Thomas Kimball recieved of George Hadley was burned by Indians, Kimball was killed and his wife and 5 children carried into captivity.
On December 11,1678, he is recorded as having taken the oath of allegiance to Charles II. December 2, 1679, he was one of those by law who was allowed to have his vote in town affairs. He seems to have been well situated after his return to Ipswich as his real estate is described: houses, barns, orchards, wood and underwood and also a right in the common land. George Hadley had 7 children.
There are in Englad three places bearing the name: Hadleigh, in Suffolk County (Hadley, Massachusetts was named for this town), Hadley in Essex and Hadley of the Mouks, Middlesex.
Arms granted to Hadley families in England may be found in Burk's Amery- the most ancient one mentioned dated 1397 is as follows: the crest upon the mounted vertical, a falcon billed or supported in the dexter claw, a buckle argent, and holding in the beak three ears of wheat of the second. Motto- "God is my Help".
families of this name were found at extremely early dates. As early as the 12th centery the name was recorded in the form of deHaddeligh and later simplified to Hadley by one Cadigan of the name in Chesire, England.
One Sir John Hadley was elected to Parliament in 1369 and about ten years later was elected Lord Mayor of London.
In the early 15th century, one Sir Robert Hadly or Hadley was resident of Suffolk and is believed to have been the progenitor of a large and illustrious family.
Samuel son of George and Mary Proctor Hadley was born in Ipswich, Massachusetts before 1655, was a weaver by trade. In 1680 he was a member of the training band of Amesbury. He was a member of the church in the west parish of Amesbury, and chosen tythingman in 1702; was taxed for the support of preaching in the west parish in 1726. He was a soldier in the Narragansett War and recieved provincial government the grant of a share of land in the township of Buxton, Maine. He also was granted with others one-half of the shareof the township of Warner, New Hampshirein consideration of being a soldier in the Narragansett War, which was subsequently disposed of Capt. Francis Davis. The location of his home was in the northwesterly corner of Amesbury near the point of the intersection of the town lines of Amesbury and Haverhill, Massachusetts and Plastow and Newton in New Hampshire.
The 1741 Settelment of the Massachusetts Line located some Hadley families in Plastow and Newton, New Hampshire insted of Amesbury and Haverhill.
Benjamin Hadley, son of Samuel and brother of George was granted land in Dunbarton on which to build a saw mill. He was a large land owner in Manchester, Goffstown and Dunbarton.
He was sold "Lot 4" in the 6th range for $50.00 on his giving obligations to build a corn mill and to keep in repair said mill for use of the town. Later this mill became the property of Hezediah Woodbury on the site of Page's Mill.
Manchester history states that as early as 1750 he built and owned a saw mill and grist mill upon the Amoskeag Brook south of Granite Street. He established a ferry somewhere about 1735 below where was afterwards the Amoskeag or McGregor Bridge. After his death, it passed into the hands of Thomas Hall and was known as Hall's Ferry.
