This came today after my question about which county Joshua was in. I thought perhaps some folks might be hunting others mentioned in this email.

I found all the names you listed except Perry King (many other Kings, just not Perry) in various old transcribed records that cover the period 1700s-1800s for Mississippi Territory and after 1819 are the present states of Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas. There is one entry for Private Joshua Hadley included on a roll for Hinds' Battalion of Calvary, Mississippi Militia during the War of 1812, from a publication of the Mississippi Historical Society. There were listings for latter in the 1800s for Mrs. Hadley "a widow", Dionysia Hadley and Thomas Hadley in Early Pioneers of Alabama that I could not find on the pages the index indicated. Additional entries for the State of Mississippi were for; Ann Hadley and Moses Hadley in his will filed 8-28-1818 in Wilkenson Co., Miss, heirs wife Ann and children (not named). T.B.J. Hadley and Piety, his wife to Robt A. Patrick (all of Hinds Co.,Miss) sold 160 acres in Choctaw District, Miss. on Dec 30, 1839. Hinds Co., Miss Marriages for 1833-35 had a marriage for R. Hadley (female) to F. Catlett.
