James Hadow
James Hadow (1667–1747) was a Scottish minister who served as Principal of St Mary's College, St Andrews from 1707 till 1747.
He was born in Douglas, South Lanarkshire, Scotland on 13 August 1667. He died on 4 May 1747 at St Andrews, Fife, Scotland.
The Dictionary of National Biography suggests that Hadow was educated abroad, probably due to the persecution of the Covenanters. It is probable that he was the same James Hadow who published two Latin theses in Utrecht in 1685 and 1686. He was placed as "second charge" of Cupar in Fife in 1692 and on 30 October 1694 was ordained as minister of Cupar.
In 1699 he was made Professor of Divinity at St. Mary's College in the University of St. Andrews. Between 1707 and 1747 he was also Principal of the college.
The head of the University of St Andrews is the Rector, who was elected annually, and Hadow was elected Rector on 14 occasions between 1706 and 1747.
He died in St Andrews on 4 May 1747.
In 1697 he married Isabel Tullidelph (d.1758) daughter of William Tullidelph, Principal of St Leonard's College, St Andrews.
His son George Hadow became professor of Hebrew in St Mary's College, University of St Andrews.
