Nope. In the will abstracts, the proven date is given as 2 May 1677, but that is rather obviously an error. It is among other abstracts for May 1678. I think he appears in the archives after May 1677, but I could be wrong. I no longer have in my notes the years he served in the legislature and the new search engine for the archives is a stone cold bummer to find anything. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, April 21, 2007 5:38 PM Subject: Re: [MDCHARLE] Zachary Wade > Wasn't his will dated: 3/5/1677 and probated 5/25/1677? > > -------------- Original message -------------- > From: "D Michael Johnson" <[email protected]> > >> Here is a little something I've put together from number a number of various >> sources.
