Genealogies

Some speculate they were Tories. They remained in the region and were landowners during the Spanish reign. Baptismal records of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Mobile, AL, attest to their presence in the region. Family names include Conway, Bankester, Buck, White, Hastings, Chastang, Tarvin, and Wilkins.

  • The Hadley Society: Benjamin Hadley was the first Hadley in Baldwin County - during the time it was Montgomery County, Mississippi Territory. An interesting story about old Ben goes something like this: During the Revolutionary War, Ben's father was shot by the Tories in their North Carolina community and Ben was taken to an island in the middle of the Cape Fear River (in the Carolinas). The Tories tied and bound him, leaving him to be tortured to death by the elements, wild animals, and insects. A few months later, the Tories were taken by surprise when they once again faced Ben in battle. When this story was told to one of Ben's descendant, he replied, "They really thought they would keep a Hadley down by tying him in the woods? They didn't know the Hadleys!" That's the truth - the modern day Hadleys are very probably the best woodsmen in Baldwin County.
