One Wade Family researcher states that Cicero Thompson Wade of Cobb County, GA left his wife, Ida Keheley, by whom he had three children, and changed his surname to Jacobs (Genforum/Wade Family #4763). There is some evidence to support this assertion, and to suggest that he may have married a second time, using the name Cicero Thompson Jacobs, about 1898, two years after Ida died. There was a Cicero Thompson Jacobs who married in 1898 to Willie Tidwell of Alabama, had four children by that wife, and probably died between 1910 and 1918, being survived by that wife. This would be consistent with the belief by Wade family descendants that Thompson Wade was survived by a wife.
In the 1900 census, in Columbus, Muscogee County, GA, there was a Thompson Jacobs, born in GA in April 1871, with wife Willie, born in AL in Mar 1879, and son Clifford, born in GA in Dec 1898. Thompson and Willie had been married for two years. The birth year recorded for Thompson Jacobs is three years later than that of Thompson Wade.
In the 1910 census Bozemans district, Muscogee County, GA the same family was listed as Cicero T. Jacobs (age 38), with wife Willie (31), son Clifford (11) and three more children; Minnie P. (8), Claudie (5), and daughter Willie (3), all born in GA. Living with them was a “brother” Homer Tidwell (21), born in AL, and a “nephew” Roy Wade (16), born in GA and both parents born in GA. Homer Tidwell apparently was Willie’s brother. Roy Wade may have been considered Homer’s “nephew” if that was Roy Lorraine Wade, the son of Cicero Thompson Wade and if Thompson Jacobs was really Thompson Wade. Otherwise, it is at least a strange coincidence.
Interestingly, in 1910 James T. Keheley, the brother of Ida Keheley, Thompson Wade’s wife, was living with his family in the same Bozemans district, Muscogee County as did Thompson Jacobs. In 1920 Ransom Keheley, the father of Ida and James T., was living with James T., in Bozemans. Ransom’s second wife had died in 1914, and Ransom died there on 15 April 1920 and was buried in Cobb County, GA with his two wives and daughter, Ida Keheley Wade.
In 1918, Clifford Charles Jacobs, Thompson’s son, registered for the WWI Draft in Birmingham, AL. He gave his birth date as 23 Dec 1899 and gave as next of kin, Mrs. Willie Jacobs, who lived at the same address in Birmingham. So it is likely that Thompson Jacobs had died after 1910 and before 1918.
