Hello- I am new to the Gibson County list, and this is my first post to the list. I am looking for information on the names WADE and FERRIS. Specifically, Lewis Wade (1803 - ?) and Francis (sic) Ferris (1807 - ?) both of whom died, I believe, in Gibson County in the mid 1800s. I have a copy of a book called "The Wades - The History of a Family" by Zada Wade Beadles, which traces the genealogy of Zachary and Mary Hatton Wade (circa 1627 - 1697). Their descendants moved to Gibson County around 1800, and there were a great many of them. I have developed an index to the book. In addition to several hundred Wades, there are also about 250 related surnames (those who married Wades). I am willing to do lookups for anyone who thinks their kin married my kin. Be patient if the response is not immediate. Contrary to what my husband may think, I DO have a life away from this computer! Nancy Wade Wilson California
