Joshua Hadley 
Joshua was born on May 23rd, 1743 in New Castle County, Delaware.1 Joshua's father was Joshua Hadley and his mother was Patience Brown. His paternal grandparents were Simon Hadley II and Ruth Keran Miller; his maternal grandparents were Jeremiah Browne and Mary Riall Royale. He had four brothers and six sisters, named Thomas, Jeremiah (Joshua), Joseph, Simon, Mary, Ruth, Deborah, Catharine, Lydia and Hannah. He had a half-brother and two half-sisters, named Thomas, Ruth and Sarah. He died at the age of 72 on April 8th, 1816 in Orange County, North Carolina. He was buried on April 8th, 1816 in Spring Meeting Cemetery, Snow Camp, North Carolina.1 1 General Notes
By his father's will probated in 1760, Joshua inherited the 180 acre Long Bottom and the 50 acre Pond Bottom on James River, Augusta County (now Botetourt), VA. However, he apparently spent all of his adult life in North Carolina. His home was situated in Alamance County near the village of Snow Camp. In July 1764, he sold the 186 acres to John McClure for 46 pounds, and during the same month sold the 50 acres to Malcolm Allen.
Although Joshua remained a Quaker, it seems that he did not remain completely non-partisan during the Revolution. In the Department of Archives, NC and History of Raleigh, NC can be found Accounts of United States with North Carolina, War of Revolution; Page 88 of Report #83 dated July 1783; Book C, Page 103:
"For sundreies furnished and cash paid the Militia of North Caroline, Virginia and South Caroline: to Joshua Hadley 5-12-4." (Apparently 5 pounds, 12 shillings, 4 pence).
He is recognized as a Patriot of the American Revolution and this entry qualifies descendants for membership in D.A.R.
Joshua was a Quaker, and he and his family were members of the Cane Creek MM until Spring MM was established in 1793 at which time they became members of that meeting. The Cane Creek meeting was located near Snow Camp, and the Spring Meeting was erected about 6 miles to the east on land donated by Joshua's in-laws, Thomas and Ruth Lindley.
