Dear Georgia: I hope you don't come to regret that request! You've just asked me to tell you about my favorite topic. 1. James Standifer Waid (b.7-26-1812 Franklin Co, VA; d.10-3-1887 Franklin Co, VA) + Eliza Ann Hiatt (b.1822; d.11-6-1877) m. 12-18-1837 Franklin Co, VA 2. Charles Robert Waid (b.11-12-1838 Franklin Co, VA; d.3-15-1918 Hunt Co, TX) + Mary Elizabeth "Bettie" Craig (b.10-15-1842 Franklin Co, VA; d. 8-24-1885 Hunt Co, TX) m. 2-14-1865 Franklin Co, VA 3. James William Waid (b.10-17-1879 Hunt Co, TX; d.3-28-1928 Grayson Co, TX) + Laura Ethel Bonham (b.6-27-1885 Hunt Co, TX; d.6-2-1940 Hopkins Co, TX) m.12-24-1900 Hunt Co, TX 4. Charles Wesley Waid (b.7-28-1904 Hunt Co, TX; d.7-14-1978 Hopkins Co, TX) + Ruth Elizabeth Hearn (b.3-3-1908 Hopkins Co, TX; d.9-23-1981 Ellis Co, TX) m.9-30-1923 Hopkins Co, TX 5. Charles Hearn Waid (b.11-21-1926 Hopkins Co, TX; d.11-26-1961 Sutton Co, TX) + Norma Nadine Roberts (b.9-23-1930 Taylor Co, TX; d.12-9-1989 Dallas Co, TX) m.8-8-1952 Dallas Co, TX 6. Rebecca Nadine Waid (b.11-1-1957 Dallas Co, TX; d. TBA!) Obviously, I only did the direct line down to me. There were MANY siblings each generation that I would be more than happy to tell anyone about - at least what I can. I have back further - but I haven't confirmed the earlier info. Reportedly, it goes on back this way: James Standifer Waid ==> Robert Powell Waid ==> Moses Waid. All were in Franklin Co, VA, or very close by. There were other Waids who settled in Wolfe City, Hunt Co, who were cousins of my group. Charles and Bettie came to TX between early 1871 and late 1872. Sorry if I came across as rude with my first post. I really was trying for joking. Since the majority of the discussion here relates to WADE, it was nice to see WAID for once.
