From Hadley Society
During the War of 1812 he [John Livingston Hadley] served as a surgeon in the Army and soon after the war ended he came to Tennessee, where he married his first cousin, red-haired, 16-year-old Amelia Hadley, on December 6, 1815. Amelia's father, Joshua Hadley, had been granted large tracts of land in Tennessee an been granted large tracts of land in Tennessee and lived at that time in Sumner County. ...
... The old-fashioned garden (at Vaucluse) with white graveled paths was very much like that at the Hermitage. This was not just a coincidence, for Amelia and Rachel Jackson were friends, according to family history, and often exchanged cuttings and bulbs, some of them strange to Tennessee soil, brought by their friends from the south. The vegetable garden behind the house was bordered by flower beds too, and next to it was a fine orchard.
Dr. Hadley lived at Vaucluse until his death on the day after Christmas, 1870.
He practiced his profession and was quite prominent in public affairs, having been a member of the Board of Trustees of Nashville University.
He engaged extensively in agriculture, the Vaucluse lands comprising at the time of his death some 2,605 acres nestling in the big embrace of the Cumberland. He and Amelia had 13 children, all of whom died without heirs except two sons, John Livingston Hadley II and Robert Livingston Hadley, both of whom became doctors. Vaucluse went to Robert, the younger of the two, who was the grandfather of the present John Livingston Hadley IV. John II inherited large holdings in the north end of the Bend, where he lived in a brick mansion somewhat resembling the original house. This house is still standing.
