Hi Listers, I'm new to your list but look forward to sharing data with you. I am looking for the WADE, HAMES, CRAIG, and JACQUES surnames. My ggg-grandparents Elijah WADE and Rebecca HAMES went to Benton Co AL from SC in the 1830's. They appear on the 1840 Benton Co census as follows: 1 male 5-9 yrs old (my gg-grandfather William) 3 males 10-14 yrs old - I don't know their names. 1 male 30-39 yrs old - Elijah 2 females - I can't read the detail of this part of the census but think it is Rebecca and their dau. Martha Ann. Elijah was b. abt. 1804 SC and Rebecca was b. abt. 1802 SC. Elijah and Rebecca were m. 12-30-1823 in Hall Co GA. Rebecca was the dau. of John HAMES and Charity JASPER. I would love to find the names of Elijah's parents. This family moved to Marshall Co AL in the 1840's as they appear on the Marshall Co census for 1850, 1860, etc. Abt. 1842 Elijah and Rebecca had two additional sons, twins, named Elijah (Junior?) and Elisha. Elijah and Rebecca's son William WADE (b. abt. 1836) was my gg-grandfather. William WADE m. Catharine CRAIG in 1855 in Marshall Co AL. Catharine was the dau. of Leonard CRAIG. William and Catharine's son James WADE was b. abt. 1856 in Marshall Co AL. James WADE m. Lucretia JACQUES abt. 1873 in Marshall Co AL. Lucretia was the dau. of James (Long-Knife) JACQUES and Rebecca MATHIS both b. in TN abt. 1825. Martha Ann WADE m. Claiborn C. WATERS 2-20-1854. One of the twins (Elijah) m. Eliza BLAKE on 1-1-1862. Who were Elijah WADE's parents?? What were the names of Elijah and Rebecca's three oldest sons?? Do these folks tie to any of your lines? Can anyone help me with the above two questions? Eldon :
