My brick wall is my g-g-grandfather, James Wade, b. abt 1795, an Englishman, who was born, lived to manhood, and married to his first wife in England. To this first union were born five children. This wife died, and James came to the United States. Here he was married 23 Dec 1819 to Margaret Hough, of German descent. They made their home in Pennsylvania. To this union was born ten children: five boys and five girls. [His 4th US child and 2nd male was William Wade, my direct descendant and g-grandfather.] After this family were grown, James Wade went to Ohio on business. There he became ill from cholera and died in May, 1855(8). He was buried in Ohio with none of his family present at the funeral. [All this information is sketchy at best and incomplete. I would especially like to ascertain exactly when James 'came ashore' from across 'the pond' and from what place in England he emigrated; as well as his origins and predecessors in England. Any help in this regard would be most appreciated.] One citation I have indicates that James died in Morrow County, Ohio. A photo from Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Mt. Pleasant, PA shows the grave stone of James Wade, Sr. and indicates that he died at Laharp, Ill? It is not clear whether James was buried in Ill or Ohio and the grave marker in the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery is in his honor; i.e., he not really buried there. Beside this grave marker is that of his wife Margaret Sutor--Sutor was her married name from her 2nd husband. Maiden name was Margaret Hough. The name of one of James Wade's sons is unknown, and it is believed that he died when very young. I am eager to hear from anyone who can shed light on this James Wade. gary a. wade loveland, co
