HENRY HOADLEY OF WELLS ISLAND,
PIONEER FAMILY



1. HENRY HOADLEY was born 9 Aug 1784 Bennington VT, son of JARED HOADLEY and ANN KELLOGG. He died 10 May 1861 and is buried in Alexandria Bay, Jefferson Co., NY.

HENRY had a farm on Wells Island, near Waterloo Lake, where he carried on an extensive wool trade. HENRY and LOVINA were residents on the island by the time their children were born, which was about 1804 or 1805. HENRY and LOVINA were living next to their son, JOHN D. and PHILENA, in the 1850 census of Alexandria Bay. Both LOVINA and HENRY informed they were born in Massachusetts. LOVINA, after HENRY'S death, lived with daughter LUCY, wife of PETER McCUE.

He married,

LEVINA/LOVINA SEARLES who was born in 1785 Westfield VT and died 2 October 1875 in Alexandria Bay, NY. It is said their marriage took place in Lowville, NY.

In the widow's pension records:
LOVINA SEARLES, wife of HENRY HOADLEY, stated that she married HENRY HOADLEY on 3 July 1814 at Lowville, NY. Henry was a soldier in the War of 1812. Lovina died at Alexandria Bay on 2 October 1875 at 90 years. The marriage date does not agree with the birthdates of the children, which suggests that Henry may have had a first wife or the pension office made an error in the year of marriage.
