    1. [ALMORGAN] New guy - WADE family on 1840 census
    2. Eldon Wade
    3. Hi Listers, I am new to your list but hope we can share info. My surnames are: WADE, HAMES, CRAIG, BLAKE, WATERS, MATHIS I am trying to find info on the E. WADE family that appears on the 1840 Morgan Co census, page 003, in the 6th Regiment area. This family could be my Elijah WADE family. My Elijah was b. abt. 1804 SC. Elijah and his family were on the 1850 and 1860 Marshall Co AL census. Elijah WADE m. Rebecca HAMES on 12-30-1823 in Hall Co GA. Rebecca was b. abt. 1802 SC and was the dau. of John HAMES and Charity JASPER. I think Elijah and Rebecca lived in GA from 1823 to 1825 (prob. Hall Co.) and moved to SC abt. 1833 (prob. in Union, Cherokee or Spartanburg Co) as they had children b. in both GA and SC. I suspect they moved to Morgan Co AL abt. 1834 - this is the part I need your help with to verify. The family moved to Marshall Co abt. 1841. Known children of my Elijah WADE were: Elizabeth WADE b. abt. 1825 GA, married Nicholas BLAKE in Marshall Co in 1842 Margaret WADE b. abt. 1827 AL, married John BLAKE in Marshall Co in 1842 Nancy Caroline WADE b. abt. 1830, married Jesse MATHIS in Marshall Co in 1847 Martha Ann WADE b. abt. 1833 SC, married Claiborn C. WATERS in Marshall Co in 1854 William WADE (my gg-grandfather) b. abt. 1834 AL, married Catharine CRAIG in Marshall Co in 1855 Elijah WADE Jr and Elisha WADE (twins) b. abt. 1842 AL, Elijah Jr. m. Eliza BLAKE in Marshall Co in 1862 Thank you for any help you may provide. Eldon
