Eldon, According to the Wade gedcom from June, Edward Sr. might be the child of Pliny Wade. I know there is a will of Robert Wade in Halifax Co Va that lists a son named Edward. So, at this point I don't think anyone can say for sure. Edward was a very common name in the Wade line. I do have that he was born in Virginia, though. There are 4 sons that I don't have who they married. Does anyone know who Edward Jr., Richard, James, and Thomas married??? Did I see in one of the emails that Mary Clement's father was Thomas Clement?? Rachel
