Odds and Ends

George was admitted as a freeman in 1634. Children of George and Mary are: John Samuel Martha Abigail Elizabeth Joseph Mary The theory as to the parents of George Hadley, Based on several publicshed sources, web sites, and other family trees is, GEORGE HADLEY and ELIZABETH SPOONER. According to some sources the First George and Elizabeth were married in Frostenden, Suffolk, England 24 June 1624. There are also resources that say that George and Elizabeth had another child name George, who was their first born. This first son George died at a very young age, perhaps as a baby.
