Biography

Samuel Hadley was born around 1652 probably in Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts.

On March 29, 1670 George Hadley, in behalf of his son, Samuel, sued Joseph Pike for non-performance of indentures. Files state that on February 22, 1664, Samuel Hadley of Rowley was apprenticed for five years to Joseph Pike of Rowley and Newbury to learn the trade of weaver as well as to learn how to read and write. Samuel was to receive a good loom with tackling and a shuttle when the five years were up. Instead Pike offered Samuel's father an old loom that appeared to be rotten. The court found for the plaintiff and ordered Pike to provide "A good loom with all things fitting for it..." Samuel continued in the weaver's trade.^[1]

He married Jane Martin on 11 August 1676 in Amesbury, Essex County, Massachusetts and they had 12 children. ^{[2] [3]}

Some believe that Samuel probably died sometime before 1727, when his son Samuel discontinued the use of the term "junior". There is no record of a Will or the date and place of his death. However, Samuel Hadley was at North Yarmouth (now Maine) around 1674 and deposed in August 1734, aged about 82, that he had formerly lived in North Yarmouth.^[1] He is a direct ancestor of President Chester Arthur.
