At 1:34 PM on 1/19/2002 I wrote to the list: >I believe that my James Wade married someone, had nine >children by her, she died, and he married Sally F. Bailey who was Robert >Lane's widow. Well, know I know it's true. Today, at the Barren County Clerk's office I found a deed (deed book L, pages 591-2) dated 25 Sep 1829, from David Lane to James Wade. In it David is selling his rights to part of his father's estate to James Wade. The relevant portion reads like this: "...my undivided interest in and to sixty three acres of land lying and being in the County of Barren on Nobob Creek, which was laid off and assigned to Sarah F. Lane, widow of my father Robert Lain dec'd as her dower, I being entitled to one equal eighth part, and I the said Lane do hereby sell and transfer unto the said Wade all my interest in the personal estate which was assigned to the said Sarah F. Lane, now the wife of the said Wade as her dower in the personal estate of my father..." Just to be clear, this is James Wade, son of Ballenger and Sarah (Watts) Wade. Charlie
