I'm looking for the parents of James Wade of Barren and Cumberland Co., Kentucky. There are two James Wades living very near to each other and both are married to Sally. My James is the younger of the two. (The other was born about 1778) I seem to know more about the wrong James. I am hoping someone connects with this line. I am related through his daughter Nancy Wade who married John D. Williams. I have never been able to find his wife's maiden name. With two James living so close it has been difficult to keep them separated. My James died sometime after the 1860 census was taken, but before the 1870. I know that there is a record in the Douglas register of Daniel Wade and Delphe Green having an unnamed child born April 11, 1787. This date matches perfectly with the age of my James, but I have no firm proof. Any help would be appreciated. Carolyn

Carolyn - Ballenger Wade died in 1824 in Cumberland Co Ky and listed sons, Richard, Pierce, James and Jeremiah. Daughters Mary, Sarah, Elizabeth, Rachel, Judith and Jincey. Birth date for Jeremiah is 10-3-1796. Birth date for Sarah is 3-2-1778. Birth date for Elizabeth is 1798, Rachel is 1805. I do not have a birth date for Pierce Wade, but his marriage is recorded in 1796 in Henry Co VA. I think one of the James Wades in the 1850 Barren Co Census, with wife Sally, is the son of Ballenger Wade. This info is from Three Centuries of Ballengers in America. I was finally able to tie my line through Pierce Wade.
