Hi Donald, Yes, there is no doubt that the HOLLANDs, KINGs, and WADEs are connected. As with most families they seem to connect in several places. In 1850s GA, Mary Ann HOLLAND (dau. Of Moses King HOLLAND) married Benjamin WADE. This expounds on your comment below that Moses King HOLLAND had grandchildren named WADE. However, the connection I want to find is the one much earlier in the 1780s in SC. The Rev. Moses HOLLAND (father of Moses King HOLLAND) married Grace KING. Do you know the ancestry of Grace KING? Do you know the William KING I describe in my email below? Do you know the Joseph KING whose estate was administered by an Edward WADE in DeKalb Co GA?

Moses Holland started the church you mentioned. Robert King,jr helped him and started some churches his self. Robert King married one of Moses Holland's older daughters from his first wife and Moses married one of Robert King's sisters. Of which Moses King Holland came from. Moses King went to GA and married Gilathea Nichols dau. of Dr. Zachariah Nichols. Both families as well as several others, the Wades included went by train to Western Ar. Around Logan, Co.in 1870. There is a book on the Wades from AR that gives information on Wades,Hollands, and Kings. Moses King Holland was a preacher in Ar and some of his Grandchildren had last name Wade. Robert King Sr. family came from Ireland.
