Person:Celia Tade (1)

Birth: Feb. 25, 1801
Kentucky, USA
Death: unknown

Cordelia Tade was the daughter of David and Hannah (Scherrer),Tade,
She married 1st Brice Hannah, and had two children, Dolph and Ellen She was also known as Celia. Brice was prosperous, but when he died, the executor of the estate absconded with the funds.
She married 2nd Silas Farley, a flatboatman and farmer. They had children Eliza Jane, William, Elizabeth, Silas M., David A. Her husband Silas died the winter of 1833-34.
In Sep 1836, David Tade moved the family to Lee Co., Iowa. Celia's sister Mary "Polly" Tade was born in 1801 in North Carolina, and after being widowed by her first husband, named Hunt, Polly married Drewry Farley, a brother of Silas. Celia Farley is listed in the 1840 census of Lee Co., Iowa, pg 361.
Christiana Holmes Tillson visited the Hannah home in 1822, and described Mrs. Brice Hannah:
" There was but one room in the main cabin, which I at once perceived was unusually clean for an establishment of that kind. There were two beds nicely made,with clean pillows and handsome bed-quilts, the floor clean, and the coarse
chairs looking as if they had just been scrubbed. In a large, open fire-place was a cheerful fire of oak logs, which were supported by one old iron andiron and a stone on the other side. But what most puzzled me was a pretty woman - who did not seem to be more than twenty - sitting with her feet on a chair, and with pillows around her, and holding her infant in her lap. Her skin was very fair, and she had an abundance of jet black, curly hair, and bright, black eyes. She had on a pretty pink calico dress, which with her baby's gear had the appearance of thorough cleanliness. She looked a little annoyed when we first went in, but politely asked us to be seated, and by her manner we concluded that she was mistress of the mansion."
I ventured to ask her how long she had been a cripple. She said only a few months; that just before her baby was born she fell into the well and broke some of her bones, and was so hurt all over that she had not been able to walk since, and if it had been God's will she should have
wished never to have come out alive. She was ignorant, but pretty, and with a sweet expression ; so much truthfulness was manifested in all she said that my heart went out to her with a compassion that I cannot express.
I have forgotten what we had for food, but re- member the cleanliness of the rough furnishing, and that a saucer standing on the table, filled with lard, with a strip of white cloth laid in it and one end raised up at the side of the saucer, burning, served to light the table and the whole room."

It appears that she did recover mobility. She was left a young widow with seven children at age 32.

Family records indicate she died in Oregon, but exact location of death and burial is unknown

Iowa Marriage records show Celia Farley (born ca. 1800) married John Haynes (age 50) on Oct 2 1840 in Lee Co Iowa.
Note: Findagrave does not have a way to show all names of a women married multiple times. Her maiden name was Tade. Hannah was not her middle name, it was her 1st married name, Farley the 2nd, and Haynes the 3rd? Family in Oregon did not have the Haynes name in records.
