Notes
a. Note:   The birth year in one geneology has him being born in 1793. However, in an article in the Houston, Texas newspaper it is given as 1801. This date on 1801 is probably correct since the census of 1800 of South Caroline shows no males except one which would have been Thomas's father, Moses Hadley. According to an article of September 1870 which was written in the Houston Daily Telegraph, Thomas Hadley's family moved close to the home of Jefferson Davis who was the president of the Comfederacy during the Civil War. Both Jeff Davis and Thomas Hadley were taught by Jeff Davis's brother Joe Davis in their school days TBJ Hadley became an attorney and went on the become the Auditor of Public Accounts during the Scott administration. He and his wife worked diliigently to get the first Homestead Act passed in the United States which was adopted by the State of Mississippi. After its passage, TBJ was often called "Homestead Hadley." The Woodville Ms Republican reported that his son Benjamin Quitmen died on May 31, 1839 at the age of 3. The Hadleys moved to Houston, Texas in 1839. He practiced law briefly before going in into the hotel business. One was known as the Fannin House and the other the Capitol Hotel. The article relates that at the time of his death he left a widow and five daughters. These daughters were Aureta Hadley Mohl, Mrs. Clarence Key, Mrs. Robert R. Franklin, Mrs. Alfred S, Dyer, and Margaret Hadley Foster. The article metioned appeared in the Houston Daily Telegraph and is in a scrapebook of old newspaper clippings in the Texas and Local History Department entitled "Personal Reminisences of old Houstonians" colleted by Mrs. Ring. All of Thomas's daughter collobrated in the article.
