Taken from old clippings dealing with Kentucky family history, newspaper unknown. These clippings are about 100 years old (1997). Reprinted in Kentucky Explorer, Volume 11, Number 2 - June, 1996. p. 102. Unknown County. Robert Wade lived in Halifax County, Virginia, where his son, Hampton Wade, was born on March 22, 1757. He lived there until his son, David Wade, was born on December 5, 1797, and then moved to Kentucky in 1811. Hampton Wade served in the Revolutionary War, 1776-78, and was at Valley Forge. David Wade was in the War of 1812. Think Stephen Wade (though have no good proof) was the first Wade born in America at Jamestown, Virginia. He was the father of Tinsley Wade, and he the father of Robert. Items are not well substantiated in this history. Wade = Halifax-VA http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/unknown/wade.r.txt
