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. I do believe this David may be the grandson of Pearce and Mary Wade through their son, also named Pierce Wade Jr b 1755 who married (22 May 1780?) Elizabeth Thurmond. If so it connects with my line of Wades, also from Pearce and Mary through their son Ballenger Wade b 1748. I do have additional info on Pierce/Elizabeth Wade, maybe even a will that can shed some light. Let me look at my notes.
