>From the Book "Friends At The Spring" by Dr. Algie I. Newlin: Henry and
Mary Faye Holladay and their three children, and Thomas and Ruth Hadley
Lindley and their nine children, appear to have been the first Quakers to
settle in the Spring Community. They were accompanied by a recently
married couple, Hugh and Mary Evans Laughlin, who were not members of the
Society of Friends. These three families selected adjoining tracts of
land, all bordering on Cane Creek. Within a few years these were followed
by other settlers. Among these were Joshua and Patience Brown
Hadley(settlled in South Fork area), John and Mary Lindley Woody, William
and Phoebe Passmore McPherson, William and Marjorie Braxton, John and Ann
Whips Carter, William and Elizabeth Carter Harvey, John and Mary Pyle
Newlin, Issac and Martha Newlin Harvey, William White, and members of the
Hollingsworth, Maris and Atkinson families.

Simon Hadley was decended from landed proprietors of Somerset ENG, They came from ENG with the migration into northern IRE when James 1st sent English and Scottish settlers and colonists to settle the "plantations" there which had been seized by the crown when Britan declaired the rebelious Celtic Chiefs guilty of treason. From the public record office in Dublin, IRE we learn that Simon Hadley lived first in County King's, IRE where he owned a smithy and was also interested in some fishing property in Dublin
[NI0783]
His parents are often incorrectly shown as James Hadley & Friedeswide Matthew
[NI0783]
The first authentic record we have that Simon Hadley was in Ireland was recorded about 1680 when he petitioned Parliament for protection against the possible confiscation of his property should the area become forfeited to the Crown as was then threatened. It reads:
[NI0783]
To the Honorable, the Trustees appointed by an Act of Parliament made in England, Instituted an Act for granting an Ayd to his Majestie by sale of Forfeited and other estates and Interests in Ireland, etc.
[NI0783]
The Peticion and Claims of Symon Hadly of Ballynakill in the Kings County, Gentlemen, Sheweth
[NI0783]
That there was a custom given by Edward Vernon, Esq. late Lord of the Manor of Clantarfe in the County of Dublin that any person or persons should have the liberty to build Shedds at Ballyscaddan, being part of the said Manor for Incouragemt of the fishery there and those who\tab built the said Shedds were to hold the said Shedds dureing their upholding the same, paying dureing the Season and whilest fish was made there Sixpence for every Barrell of fish they should make; That the Claimant did build accourding to the said customs four Shedds and has enjoyed the same these seven or eight yeares past two of the Shedds being builte by the Claimant with Lime and stone and the other two Shedds with Clay and stone That the Claimant being apprehensive that the said Manor of Clantarfe may be forfeited and vested in your Honors by the said Act and soe the Claimant may be prejudices and deprived of the said four Shedds soe builte by him as aforesaid.
[NI0783]
May it therefore please your Honors to receive and allow of this your Petitioners Claime and if itt shall here-after appear that the said Manor is or will be forfeited that then your Honors would grant the Claimant the saving of his said Improvements soe made by him as aforesaid and to grant him such reliefe as to your Honors shall seem most equitable.
[NI0783]
It will be noted that this document indicates that he had been there for seven or eight years at that time. How much longer, we do not know.
[NI0783]
Simon and his wife Catherine seem to have been the first of the family to join the Society of Friends. At least we find no earlier reference to Hadleys in the Quaker records of Ireland or England. They were members of Moate Meeting, County Westmeath. From the minutes of this meeting we learn that Simon apologized to his Meeting for allowing his son, Simon, too many liberties. He himself was disowned by the Society for "marrying out of Meeting" at his second marriage when 70 years of age. Their son Simon apparently had great difficulty in maintaining his membership because of his repeated participation in military activities.
[NI0783]
In addition to his fishery properties in Dublin, Simon owned an iron foundry in Kings County.
[NI0783]
Moate Meeting records reveal that Catherine Talbot, wife of Simon, died the 20th.of 4th.month 1771, and was buried four days later. Shortly afterwards, Simon married Elizabeth _______.
[NI0783]
From a record in the Office of Arms, Dublin Castle, we learn that Simon died in 1711. Administration of his property was granted 6 June 1711 to his widow Elizabeth Hadley and to his children, John Hadley, Elizabeth Miller, and Jane Kiernan. No mention is made of his son Simon. No doubt he had already received his share of the estate in preparation for his departure to America.

father was believed to be a John Lindley who was born in England circa
1611. This John Lindley is the first Lindley in our line that there is any
mention of.

was the granddaughter of Thomas Parke and Rebecca Ward. By
the time they migrated to America in 1713, they had five of their twelve
children.
Eleanor settled, was land that had been granted to William Penn, Jr. as a
settlement of a debt owed his father by the King of England. Penn had been
given a tract of 14,500 acres, of which Irish Quakers bought 5413 acres at
the rate of 20 pence per hundred. Penn himself, never lived in America,
but sold the land through agents.

Valley with a recorded estate of at least 600
acres. A quote from a letter to Mary Parke Valentine in England from her
brother Robert Parke in October 1725, reads, "Unkle

today is still called London Grove. James became the first elected
township official, constable. Of the 43 taxable persons in this township
in 1722, James Lindley's tax of 19 schillings was the largest. James was
to die at the young age of 45 on October 13, 1726. It is interesting to
note that 11 year old son, William, died just 13 days later. Possibly some
disease
or sickness struck the family. Eleanor was to give birth to their twelfth
child just three months after James death. Eleanor re-
married to Henry Jones in 1730.
