http://www.heritagepursuit.com/Knox/KnoxIndex.htm
HADLEY, ISAAC, of the First ward, Mt. Vernon, is a New Yorker by birth. From the arse of fifteen he has been a resident of Mt. Vernon, and has been honored by his fellow citizens, not only with their confidence and respect, placed in obut he has been offices of profit as well as of honor, and faithfully and honorably has he discharged the duties of his several posts.

Mr. Hadley was born in the town of Willsborough [Willsboro], Essex county, New York, January 14. 1795, within sight of the waters of Lake Champlain, since made famous by Commodore McDonough's victory, September 11, 1814. In 1810 Mr. Hadley's father, with his family, came to Ohio, and settled in the county of Knox. His father, Mr. Smith Hadley. was born August 14, 1765, and died February 4, 1850, aged eighty-five years. five months, and twenty days.

November 9, 1825, Mr. Isaac Hadley was married to Miss Sarah Davidson, of Mt. Vernon. She was born in Knox county, November 22, 1805, and deceased January 16, 1873, in the sixty-ninth year of her age. To Mr. and Mrs. Hadley were born seven children, six of whom are still living. Four reside in this city, one in Iowa, and one in Bellaire, Ohio.

Mr. Hadley's public life has been a remarkable one, having, for twenty-four years, held commissions, either from the President of the United States, or from the Governor of Ohio. Mr. Hadley acted as sheriff and postmaster, at the same time, four years.

April 28, 1830, he received the appointment of deputy United States marshal, and served as such four years. During that time he took the census of Knox county, and in the discharge of that duty he visited every house and every family at that time within the limits of the county.

August 12, 1831, Postmaster General Barry appointed him postmaster at Mt. Vernon, He served in that capacity about nine years. In 1832 he was appointed by General Bevins, deputy sheriff. In 1834 he was elected and commissioned sheriff' of Knox county, and in October, 1836, he was reelected, without opposition; thus, with his own four years, he was acting as sheriff six years.

Mr. Hadley was appointed clerk of the court of common pleas April 13, 1839, and served seven years, that being the constitutional limit. In 1834 Governor Robert Lucas commissioned him as paymaster of the volunteer brigade of Knox county, with the rank of major.

April 30, 1863, he was appointed and commissioned by the President of the United States, commissioner, with the rank of major, for the Thirteenth Ohio Congressional district, composed of the counties of Knox, Licking, Muskingum, and Coshocton, and served as such until the close of the rebellion, and was honorably discharged.

Notwithstanding his fourscore years, few men in the prime of their manhood can compete with Mr. Hadley in the discharge of the duties of every-day life.
