Jay, If you do have more info, I would be happy to forward it on to Mr. Wade, I am sure he would be thrilled. I am researching the Wade name because my Aunt Margaret Fox married James Byrnes Wade b 1903 in KY, son of Jesse Wade and Unknown. James siblings are John, Leora and Robert that I am aware of so far. James and Margaret's children are/were Leslie, Beverly, Delores and William. Mr Leslie Wade's line the name Jesse appears a few times and I wonder if the 2 lines tie together? Would love to hear from you Jay! marg John Eldredge wrote: > Regarding your lineage from Mr Leslie Wade, I believe there might be one > more generation in between Pearce Wade/Mary Ballenger and David Wade of > Bedford City.
