Theron: I have been helping a gentleman with his genealogy, he doesn't have a computer so isn't on the Internet. His gg-grandfather was Joseph A. Wade, b. 27 Jan 1846 Cass County, GA(this information from his Civil War Pension Record). He died 8 Aug 1926 Erin Springs, Garvin County, OK; he married Martha Elizabeth Stapp 29 Sep 1865 in Bartow(Cass) County. 1850 census for Cass County, GA Benj. F. Wade age. 28, b. SC Elizabeth age 23, b. GA Joseph A. age 2, b. Arkansas Isaac Brook, age. 25, b. Georgia 1860 census Cass County, GA B. Wade, (M)age 38, b. SC A. Wade, (F)age. 28, b. SC J. Wade, (M)age 12 b. SC T. Wade (M)age 9 b. SC N. or M. Wade(F) age 5 b. SC H. Wade (F) age 4 b. SC S. Wade (F) age 3 b. SC J. Wade (M) age 1 b. SC (I think the census taker got carried away listing everyone being born in SC) Judging from the age of the of A. Wade, it's possible this is a second wife??? 1870 census Joseph Waid is listed between the households of James Step(his father-in-law) and Benjamin Waid. We don't have any proof that Benjamin is Joseph's father, but it seems pretty good bet. By 1880 Joseph is in Franklin County, AR, with the Stapp family. In 1900 he is in Cooke County, TX; his wife dies in 1898 in Montague County, TX. In 1901 he married Dora Hale. Several of his children are married in Montague. By 1910 Joseph is in Garvin County, OK. We don't know when Benjamin Wade died. If he stayed in Bartow County or went to Arkansas with James Stapp and Joseph Wade. Not sure if there is a family connection, but it sounds pretty good.
