There's a good possibility as Madison, Sally and children removed to Wayne, West Virginia where you have Sophia.   I think Hadassa/Adacia are someone's bad spelling from a  'pronounced' version of her name!

Her second marriage:  "West Virginia Marriages, 1780-1970," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FTNK-SX7 : 11 February 2018), F W Hoback and Sophia H Barbour, 1882; citing Wayne, West Virginia, United States, , county clerks, West Virginia; FHL microfilm 583,490.
