I have a Pierce Wade that married Elizabeth THURMOND. I have his parents as Jeremiah WADE and Charity BALLENGER. Is this the right line?

In searching for a girl-cousin named Leslie Wade who I was pretty sure lived in Ohio, I got a wrong number and spoke to a gentleman named Leslie. As it turns out, his direct Wade lineage had been traced to around 1700. He sent me a copy in the mail. Unfortunately there is 5 pages and it quite confusing as to the way it is laid out, but if anything rings a bell, drop me a line and I can try to expand on it. James Wade b. 1700?, Pearce Wade b.1720?, d.1770. m.Mary Ballinger David Wade b. 1760, d.1831 Bedford City, VA, m.Frances (Fanny) Simmons John Wade b. 1787 Bedford City, VA d.1850 Ohio City, KY, m.
