Note: Joshua was the brother of Rebecca's twin sister Mary's husband Joseph.

Although Joshua was sometimes known as "Joshua Hadley, Jr.", he was really "Joshua Hadley, III" - he and his father were known at Cane Creek as Joshua Jr. and Sr. respectively.

At Cane Creek MM on 3-6-1813, Rebekah was disowned for "marriage out of unity".

In the fall of 1838, Rebecca and Joshua moved to Hendricks County, Indiana, settling in Clay Township. At that time their two eldest children were married.

Joshua died Aug 23 1847, buried Mill Creek Cemetery, Danville, Hendricks County, Indiana.

Rebecca and her son, Addison Hadley, donated 110 acres of land and a large sum of money with which the "Hadley Industrial School for Girls" was founded at Danville, Indiana.

Rebecca was a woman of great energy and fortitude, and strong religious convictions, and a devoted Bible student. She was a frequent attendant at church, riding horseback when between eighty and ninety years of age.

Rebecca died 8 Apr 1882 (aged 93), Hendricks County, Indiana, and is buried in Mill Creek Friends Cemetery, Danville, Hendricks County, Indiana.
