Hi ALL, I have not posted in a while and I very much need your help. But first please let me apologize to any of you who may be on more than one of the lists I'm sending this to as you unfortunately will receive more than one copy of this message. I am looking for the parents of Elijah WADE. Here is what I know about Elijah: Elijah WADE b. abt. 1804 SC. Elijah WADE m. Rebecca HAMES on 12-30-1823 in Hall Co GA. Rebecca was the dau. of John HAMES and Charity JASPER. Elijah and Rebecca lived in both GA (prob. Hall Co) and SC (prob. in Union, Cherokee or Spartanburg Co) as they had children b. in both states. In 1830 Rebecca and the four oldest children can be found in Jackson Co AL. Elijah was living with William KING in Spartanburg Co SC at the taking of the 1830 census. This William KING was very active in the Big Creek Church in the 1790s. In 1840 the entire Elijah WADE family was living in Morgan Co AL. At the end of 1840 this part of Morgan Co AL became part of Marshall Co AL. In 1850 and 1860 they appear on the Marshall Co AL census. I can find no record of Elijah and Rebecca after the 1860 Marshall Co AL census. Known children were: 1. Elizabeth WADE b. abt. 1825 GA m. Nicholas BLAKE in 1842 Marshall Co AL. 2. A son (don't know the name) b. abt. 1825. 3. Margaret WADE b. abt. 1827 AL m. John BLAKE in 1842 Marshall Co AL. 4. Nancy C WADE b. abt. 1830 AL m. Jesse MATHIS in 1847 Marshall Co AL. 5. Martha A WADE b. abt. 1833 SC m. Claiborn C. WATERS in 1854 Marshall Co AL. 6. William WADE b. abt. 1834 AL (my gg-grandfather) m. Catharine CRAIG in 1855 Marshall Co AL. Catharine CRAIG was the dau. of Leonard CRAIG 7. A son (don't know the name) b. bet. 1836 -1840. 8. twins Elijah WADE Jr and Elisha WADE b. abt. 1842 AL. Elijah Jr m. Eliza BLAKE More info: My Elijah WADE was not the son of David Bingley WADE. David Bingley WADE was b. 2-18-1755. David's son Elijah was b. bet. 1791 and 1799 (prob. 1791). My Elijah WADE was b. abt. 1804. Several census show Elijah as being born in SC. I would very much appreciate any help with finding Elijah's parents and I thank you for your patience. Eldon WADE
