Thomas the third, the second son of Thomas and Margaret (Parker) Hadley, was reared by his uncle, Theophilus Parker and his wife, Mary Irwin Toole, the niece of Lieutenant Henry Irwin, a hero who fell at the battle of Germantown. Thomas Hadley the third, married Millicent Richardson, only daughter of Joseph and Martha Cobb Richardson of Johnson County, North Carolina. They moved to Edgecombe County and settled in what is now a part of Wilson County, North Carolina. They had a family of seven children, all but one of whom lived to be grown and married. The eldest, Margaret, married Captain Albert Upchurch; Mary married Dr. Stephen Woodard and Martha married Wiley D. Rountree; Sarah married, first, Lamb Moye, second, Dr. C. Peacock; Captain Thomas Hadley married Sarah Saunders; John C. married Mary Moore. All resided in Wilson and Wilson County, North Carolina. Wiley D. Rountree, when twenty-two years of age, was the first mayor and laid off the town of Wilson, N. C., which was then a small railroad station. His ancestors had been granted land near there in 1740 and his family had lived there more than a century when he moved to New York and Norfolk, Va. His son, Albert L. Rountree, continued to reside in New York until his death in 1906. Albert's son, Louis G. Rountree, still resides there, and two older sons, Robert J. and Harry W. Rountree, reside in Phrenix, Ariz. Miss Rosa Rountree, the second child of Wiley D. and Martha (Hadley) Rountree, resides in Norfolk, Va., and takes great interest in the Hadley family history. Lily Rountree, the third child of W. D. Rountree and his wife, Martha Hadley, married Thomas R. Cooke. She died in 1899, leaving two children, now grown, Wylie R. Cooke and Martha L. Cooke of Norfolk.970
