Biography

Mariah was a Friend (Quaker)

Mariah (also seen in records as Maria) was born 13 Jun 1835, presumably in Morgan County, Indiana. It is probable that her parents are Aaron and Mary Hadley based on other entries in Quaker meeting minutes^[1] though this requires additional research. See Research Notes.

She married Hiram Stanton 14 Oct 1857 at Morgan County, Indiana.^[2]

She passed away 26 Mar 1859 at Morgan County, Indiana and was interred at Highland Cemetery.^[1]

Child

• Della b 17 May 1858^[3]

Research Notes

Mariah Stanton's death appears among the recorded deaths of the Hadley family members in the West Union minutes held by Earlham College. It may be that she is the Maria Hadley with a date of birth 13 Jun 1835 found on the preceding page and this date is used above however is not definitively the same person. The same record interestingly contains a Stanton Hadley born 1856. It would appear that the record also shows her parents as Aaron and Mary Hadley though this requires additional confirmation.

Daughter Della's death certificate shows as mother Matilda Stanton who was Hiram's second wife who would presumably have raised Della, however, Della does not appear with them in census records. Was she raised by the Hadley family?
