    3. Thanks Bill for sending those photos. I have some recent info on the Wade House in Kilnsey which i will forward in a few days, although the house is more modern than the earliest Wades mentioned in your info and only goes back to about 1600 !! Perhaps a bit older than most or all of the "American Colonies". Still, downunder here we have only just reached 200 years 1788).

On the way home Viking, reputed a huge man of Giant Thjassi's stock, met Wachild the Mermaid. . . . 1. Now, as the Sea-King rose ... he saw a vision of such beauty rare that his fierce blood rushed coursing through his veins. A maid more lovely than he e'er had seen - and many women he had captive made on his wild raids - and many rued his name. More like a faery than of mortal kin She seemed to him, as she in graceful poise stood on the river's brink, full in the sun Her white form gleaming . . .. 2. Still the crystal drops glistened upon her shoulders as she wrapped about her daintily a blue-green cloak, whose filmy tissue hid her in its folds, veiling her beauty 3. But, on a sudden, startled, seeing where a stranger stood, an armed man of the sea, so close she might not gain the river's edge, She turned and fled fast through the wood, as flies a timid hind to avoid the hunter's spear, and from his ravening hounds to save herself. Yet ever as she fled quick glances cast over her shoulder; and so fair her face, so full of agile grace her flying form, that Viking in his ardour gave hot chase, and swifter e'en than She he lightly ran, laughing o'ertook the lovely fugitive, and round her slender neck, ere she could scream, his strong hand held her fast a prisoner. Yet not ungently, but with soothing words he spake unto this maiden of the woods, calming her fears. At first she fiercely strove, but with soft speech and kisses he beguiled the captured maid until unto his will. 4. She proved obedient. If by force compelled, or with her free consent, scarce could he tell, nor stayed to ask, but took what he desired in Vikings' way. 5. Content was he to hold Her panting form, content to hear low words in unknown tongue, part plaintive, part in wrath, but wholly sweet, he thought, as silver bells. Though to their import he turned a deaf ear. 6. He took his pleasure . . " Come, sweet love," said he, and would have taken his captive by the hand, "I go to meet my men . . Shalt sail with us, and be a Sea-King's bride" 7. But as he spake, the maiden by his side, evading him, slipped past and leapt into the swift, deep stream. There sank and vanished. Yet young Viking thought he saw from out the swirling water gleam a silvery scale as of some monstrous fish, and much he wondered what this thing might mean, as somewhat sobered he went t'wards the beach. The Mermaid's Curse.... 8. Dost think," she cried, " that a Sea-Goddess comes to dwell with mortal who has wronged her sore? Know, Wachild, Aegir's daughter, does not so! What if I seemed consenting, 'twas that I might through thy Sin work thy dire punishment. 9. Far from the sea we are as mortals weak, and lose our magic power when on dry land. For that, presumptuous, thou mine honour stained, when I, unable to regain the stream, was helpless 'fore thee as an earthly maid, now will I curse thee, Viking, in thy race, in Death's dark Halls no solace shalt thou find, knowing thy seed is destined to disgrace, And thou shalt find me stern, who thought me kind. Sea-maiden's love, King, is not won thus lightly. 10. Though great the hero be, who of our ancestry shall come on the morrow, yet trouble and sorrow for thy sake shall he know . . . 11.To Viking's seed cometh woe, even to thy son, thy son's son, and his son b&. haply, shalt win grace.

When nine months and a day had passed there came a woman to the King's house, seeking him; Tall was She and well-shapen, muffled in a green silken mantle that none saw Her close veiled face, if it were fair or foul. When to the King she came she swift unveiled; 13. He knew her well . . . it was the Sea-maiden and beneath her cloak she hid a fair boy babe, whom she laid in his arms, and so withdrew bere he could stay her . . . No man saw her go, though the old warder on the seaward tower, babbling that night over his ale cups, said He saw a mighty fish's fin that hour gleaming like gold and silver, and the sea rose in great waves as though a storm drew nigh, yet never a breeze, nor cloud in the clear sky. 14. The King called the child WadC( and with care had the babe nurtured. Soon he grew apace 15. It was too plain the boy would giant prove nor was he like to mortal men, for he favoured his mother's kin in many ways; 'twas said that he could live beneath the sea at least 'tis true like any duck he dived, and could stay under longer than most men The giant WadC( dwelt in peace apart in Seeland, in the courts his father gave, which lay in that part now called Blekingen and was content, nor coveted the fame of Sea-king or of warrior. His life was happy and he harmed no man; he made a wondrous boat in which he sailed to many countries far beyond our ken.

    3. Betty, I don't see anywhere that your reasoning doesn't make sense. I think you must be right, Allen and Mary Polly would almost have to be Geo Boxley's parents. Especially with the given names of Boxley and Tinsley coming in as they do from the mothers. Not much else would seem reasonable. I have three Robert Allens in a row, the last two being born in 1860, and 1900. I still don't know when the first was born, but I'm suspecting around 1820. The Middle one is suspose to have been born in Izard Co. Ark in 1860. I find an Allen age 36 (so born 1814) in the 1850 Izard census, married to Rebecca. But that won't do because mine needs to be married to Isabelle Phillips. I guess I need to find an 1860 Ark census, to home in on this a bit. And I don't find it on line. I will have to go to the library and look it up. My dad, and three of his brothers are still living, Dad is 86, and still sharp. He remembers his grandparents, and where they were born. And Dad and one of his bros are quite clear about the names of their G grandparents, but no dates. They do both think my first Robert Allen (the one born about 1820) was born in TN. So I'm thinking there is another someone in there to get back to your Allen's uncle Robert, (John's bro). I've got a lot of census work to do! Are you in Van Zandt County? I'm at Cedar Creek Lake, near Tool, in Henderson Co. just south of Van Zandt. I was amazed to learn the graves of Geo Boxley, etc. are so close, and have been through so much hassle. It is so nice of you to have helped me so much. I really am grateful and thank you so much. Paul >Just have a minute. time for church.

    3. Hi Georgia, I think Edward WADE and Mary CLEMONS had a son named David b. abt. 1747. This David m. Agnes HARDY. David and Agnes had a son named Edward b. abt. 1770. This Edward m. Lucy BURFORD. Do you have any info on the Edward that m. Lucy BURFORD? By the way, I just got back from SC where I was looking for info on my Elijah WADE. While there I checked for Cornelius Hendrix. In fact I checked all 12 counties in Western SC. These cover the old districts of Pendleton, 96, and Spartanburg. I saw no record of Cornelius. I checked land conveyances (direct and indirect), probate records, Common Court records, and various miscellaneous records.

I heard my father say that one of the three brothers located in on of the New England states, one went out west, and the one came to the state of Virginia and that the three brothers came from WALES in Great Britain. Edward Wade and Mary Clemons married 1746-47? in Virginia. Even though James D. Easley lists her maiden name as Clemons, I believe it should have been spelled Clements. In VA and SC records, the Clements family is living near the Wades. Edward and May had a grandson names Thomas Clements Wade. If this Edward Wade is the same Edward Wade that was a vestryman in Antrim Parish in Halifax Co VA in 1752, then we assume he had other family members living there also. The book of Antrim Parish is like a Wade diary. Andrew, Robert, Hampton and 2-3? more men used the same boundry as Antrim Parish for the boundry of Halifax Co VA.. They organized this county in Hampton Wade Sr., living room 1752. This book is on the Internet and many mail order catalogs. It is a must for those who had Wades in Halifax, Mecklenburg and L'burg Counties. (These three Court House Record Books: zero and book one - are also like a Wade diary) I copied at least 20 pages from the book: History of Halifax County, Virginia by Carrington at the Dallas Library last Tuesday. But, it seems at the Library in Richmond VA, there were two books and it listed the men at the meeting on the first pages of the second Volume. I always forget the other men who are not named Wade's names.
