FRANCIS or FRANK B WADE b.sep 1863 ; in WV he says in the 1900 census and at that time he lived in Littleton, Wetzel County WV where he married Emma S Porter daughter of {Daniel Porter and Amy Neptune} on dec 1,1886 thier children Grover, Artchie, Howard, Robert,Bernard, Annie and she was to have died around the sametime as her mother also giving birth she was to have married a man by the last name of White? and Ocie, Amy, Minnie, Mary, and Jeanette ; Emma died in 1909 giving birth to a boy he also died. Now this is the story he was to have taken in a women with 3 or 4 kids and through his own out for them after his wife passed away the boys worked on oil fields in WV and then in Oklahoma and then the girls left one by one ? I and others have been searching for him for years with no luck we do'nt know who his parents were or the town he was from, only stories told to us that his father's name could have been John and he could have been adopted by Wades and was really a Str! osnider, but they were suppose tobe English?that the father had some mentel health problem? and that they were related to Jennie Wade the gril that was shot in the back during the civil war in Pa. A strange thing though there was a Frank Marion Wade also who lieved in Wetzel County and was married to a Elza Jean Kimble they were married in 1887 and he also was born in 1863 their names in their families are some what the same could they have been cousins ?if enyone has the littlest info I would be very happy to hear about it, because it's like he never existed.
