QUAKER-L Archives at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/QUAKER-ROOTS/1997-09/0874939984 From: Thomas Hamm <tomh@earlham.edu> Subject: Ruth, wife of Simon Hadley Date: Mon, 22 Sep 1997
"I'm glad that someone has raised the question of of the maiden name of Ruth, the wife of Simon Hadley. Ruth was born ca. 1677 and died 12Mo 18, 1750, and is supposed to have been married to Simon Hadley about 1697 in Ireland. That's consistent with the birth of their first child in 1698.
"Has anyone found any record of the marriage in Ireland? I certainly have found no consensus on Ruth's maiden name. Albert Cook Myers's IMMIGRATION OF THE IRISH QUAKERS INTO PENNSYLVANIA (1902) doesn't give a maiden name. Chalmers Hadley's NOTES ON THE QUAKER FAMILY OF HADLEY (1916), states that "There is a belief that his [Simon's] wife's family name was Miller, but no substantiating record of this has been found." The best Hadley genealogy I've found, Curtis E. Healton's 1974 work, says that Ruth was a Keran or Kern and makes no mention of her being a widow Miller.
"I'm skeptical that Ruth was the daughter of Robert Miller and Margaret Braithwaite/Brothwaite, etc., because I can't find that such a couple existed. I do find numerous records of Robert Johnson and Margaret Braithwaite, Irish Friends whose son Robet married Catherine Hadley, daughter of Simon and Ruth. Could it be that someone confused the Millers and Johnsons and then the mistake has been endlessly repeated?"
Simon Hadley, son of Simon and Catharine (Talbot) Hadley, was born in 1675, probably in Ireland, died 1756 and is buried in the New Garden cemetery, Chester county, Pennsylvania. He married (1) Ruth (Keran) Miller, a widow who was born 1677 in Ireland, died 1750, and is also buried in New Garden. Simon married (2) Phoebe (Grubb) Buffington in 1752, widow of Richard Buffington and daughter of John and Frances Grubb.
Simon Hadley came to America in 1712* with his first wife Ruth, and 6 children, having 2 more after his arrival in America. Simon purchased 1000 acres of land about 30 miles SW of Philadelphia, in the Manor Steyning. When the Pennsylvania- Delaware border was drawn, it passed through Simon's property, putting his residence in New Castle Co., Delaware, and the bulk of his property in Chester Co., PA.
Simon and his family were members of The Society of Friends. They received certificates of removal from Moate Monthly Meeting in West Meath county, Ireland. Four years after his arrival in America, Simon presented the certificates to the Newark M.M. in Centerville, DE. Records of Simon's family can be found in the New Garden Meeting minutes.
