Hi Scottie, My ggg-grandfather Elijah WADE bought land in Hall Co GA on Oct. 1, 1825. An Edward WADE witnessed the deed. There is no Edward on either the 1820 or 1830 Hall Co census. So, who is this Edward? I suspect it is the Edward who m. Lucy BURFORD but I need proof. Any suggestions?

Mary was probably the child of Thomas Clements and wife, Mary, neighbors of the Wades. Edward was the 4th child, second son, of David and Agnes. Lucy Burford was the child of Thomas Burford and Mary Wade, herself a daughtrer of Edward Wade and Mary Clements. Lucy's older sister, Charity, married David Wade, another of Edward's brothers. So David and Charity were first cousins and so were Edward and Lucy. David and Agnes are my line. All are named in Thomas Burford's will which in May 1836, so they lived at least that long. Thomas and Mary Burford's graves and 49 others were moved to make way for Lake Lanier. David wade died in 1840 in Lumpkin Co. GA. No dates of death on the others that I see right now Scottie ----- Original Message ----- From: Eldon Wade <ewade@cfl.rr.com> To: <WADE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2001 8:27 AM Subject: RE: [WADE-L] Edward WADE in 1825 Hall Co GA > Hi Georgia, > I think Edward WADE and Mary CLEMONS had a son named David b. abt. > 1747.
