Hello Wade List Does anyone have any connection to or know of anybody who might have such a connection, with the following family?? This information is extracted directly from the works of Stuart Charles Wade, Librarian at New York Public Library in 1900. I hope this will lead to a connection with a whole new branch of my Wade ancestry and shall be happy to share info. Thanks, Robert Wade, Brisbane, Australia 562. WILLIAM WADE, born July 21, 1750. Married:--Ann Dean (daughter of Richard Dean) of New York, August 2, 1780. (She born in New York, December 28, 1764; died July 11, 1838.) Issue:-- 578. Richard Dean Arden Wade, b. at New York, Apr. 26, 1796. 579. Anna Wade, m. Charles Ogden; d. Dec. 18, 1859. 580. Frances Wade, m. Alexander Bleecker (d) 581. Robert Wade, lost at sea on return from Ireland. (d) Frances Wade, daughter of William and Ann (Dean) Wade, was a famous beauty of old New York. Her miniature, painted by Edward Greene Malbone, the noted miniature painter, is in the possession of one of her grandchildren, William Bleecker Seaman, Esquire, of the New York Society of Colonial Wars, New York. So lovely were the lineaments that the miniature was reproduced in steel engraving in the annuals of those days under the poetic name of Egeria. It has recently been reproduced in color to form the frontispiece to Anne Hollingsworth Wharton's artistic book, Heirlooms in Miniatures, Philadelphia (1897), and in halftone faces p. 116, of Part II of this book. William Wade was educated at Eton and Oriel College, Oxford, where he matriculated June 1, 1768, aged 17 (Alumni Oxoniensis, Vol. IV., p. 1479). He declined to enter the church, and his father purchased for him a commission in the 38th Regiment of the British Army. He was sent with his regiment to America and took part in the Battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775. His cocked hat, pierced by an American musket ball at this battle, is to-day in the possession of his descendant, the Rev. Theodore Leggett, D. D., of West New Brighton, Staten Island, N. Y. Lieut. Wade went to Halifax with his regiment on the evacuation of Boston, and there purchased a Captaincy in the same regiment, May 3, 1776. In June of that year, he was ordered to Staten Island, and took part in the Battle of Brooklyn in August. While stationed in New York, he met his future wife, Ann Dean, one of the belles of the city. She was the daughter of Richard Dean, an Irish gentleman residing in New York city. An ent! ry of the marriage license is preserved at Albany. Her sister married Sir Alexander Hamilton. William Wade resigned his commission in the British service and settled in New York, engaging in commerce. We find from Livermore's History of Cooperstown, N. Y. (1862), 12mo., p. 35, that he was one of the adventurous pioneers of commerce who settled in that township between 1792 and 1797, and engaged in business as a merchant. He remained but a year or two, and then returned to New York, where he died September 27, 1799. 578. RICHARD DEAN ARDEN WADE, born in New York City, April 26, 1796.
