I have a question for one of the managers of Joshua L Hadley and Patience Brown. It is regarding where they were married and where their children were born. Patience Brown was b in Chester Co, PA. She and Joshua L Hadley married in Newcastle Co, PA (?) and then they traveled to New Castle Co, Delaware where their next six children were born? That doesn't sound quite right.

On this website a comment is made that Ruth, eldest daughter of Joshua and Mary Rowland, married in 1742 New Garden, PA so Joshua (and Patience) were probably living there in that year. That makes sense, doesn't it?

I would like to hear ideas on whether Joshua and Patience stayed in PA until moving to Virginia. Or is the New Castle County, Delaware locale being confused with the first wife?

According to Wikipedia, Delaware established in 1638. Do you mean Delaware County, PA which was established from Chester Co, PA in 1789? If so, the children of Joshua and Patience were born before 1789. I know the Nottingham property became Cecil Co, MD but that was not until after the Mason Dixon Line, much later. I would appreciate it if someone who has studied the county line changes and knows where the property of Joshua and Patience was located could speak to this topic. Should those children births read born "then Chester Co, now Delaware Co, PA"?

I should not try to do things off the top of my head. Got totally confused. Forget everything I posted earlier.

This is what I have for Joshua in my database"

Joshua was born in Ireland and was about 10 years old when his family came to America. Joshua Hadley and Patience Brown were married by a "priest". This being contrary to Friends' principles, they were disowned by New Garden, Pennsylvania monthly meeting on 24 February 1736. Upon acknowledgement of their "guilt", they were re-installed on 30 May 1737.

It is not known when Joshua went to Virginia. He bought land there in 1748 in Augusta which is now Betetourt County. He may have located there prior to that time or at some later date. His son Thomas was married at London Grove Meeting, Pennsylvania in 1750. Thomas was 20 years old in 1748. Joshua's oldest child, Ruth married in 1742 at New Garden Meeting in Pennsylvania which would indicate that her father still lived there at that time.

Joshua located in that part of Augusta county, Virginia now included in Botetourt county (organized in 1770), at the junction of Craig Creek and James River, just across the river from the present-day village of Eagle Rock and about 30 miles northeast of the city of Roanoke. He purchased other lands in the vicinity as will be seen from the following items taken from Chalkey's "Records of Augusta County, Virginia."

Delivered: Francis Smith, March Court 1762.

Joshua Hadley's sojourn in Virginia probably did not exceed ten years. In 1756, at the age of 53 and within a few months after his father's death, he re-located with the other Pennsylvania Quakers at Cane Creek, NC. In the records of New Garden Monthly Meeting, PA, "7-31-1756 it was represented that Patience Hadley, having been removed for some time, writes for a certificate to Friends at Cane Creek, NC which was granted her and children 8-28-1756," and in Cane Creek minutes "10-2-1756 Patience Hadley with husband and children received on certificate from New Garden Monthly Meeting, PA.

Joshua lived only 12 years after coming to North Carolina. He established a reputation in the community that led to the erection of a memorial monument to him and his wife Patience at Spring Meeting near Snow Camp, NC in 1931. The monument is constructed from parts of Joshua's home and grist mill. The stone bearing the bronze plaque is from the hearth of the huge fireplace, the stone supporting it is from the chimney and the two rest on a grinding stone from the mill. The locality called Hadley in Chatham county is presumed to be the former location of Joshua's mill.

Yes thank you, I have all that information from the profile page. But it really does not answer the question I am asking....

Should those children births read born "then Chester Co, now Delaware Co, PA"? I would appreciate it if someone who has studied the county line changes and knows where the property of Joshua and Patience was located could speak to this topic.
