Person:James Hadlock (5)

The Early Hadlocks

Jacobus starts thus, "The early Hadlocks have proved extremely difficult." He then provides about 2½ of notes and concludes, "On the basis of this incomplete information, we may theorize as follows. Nathaniel¹ and James¹ Hadlock of Charlestown may have been brothers. James married first, Damaris (-----) Fosdick, removed to Salem, and married second, Rebecca Hutchinson. He had a son by each wife, James and John, both of Salem. Nathaniel¹ probably had three sons: Nathaniel, John, and James, of whom James married Sarah Draper. It may be suggested that the acquaintance of James Hadlock with Sarah Draper came about, if James was son of Nathaniel, through the marriage of Nathaniel's widow to Roger Draper. No relationship between Roger Draper and James Draper, the father of Sarah, is known, but they may have been cousins."^[1]
