WADEs in Benton (Calhoun) Co., AL
I extracted the following information from the book, "Old Records of Estates and Administrations, Benton (Calhoun) County, Alabama", Volume VI, Sk through White, compiled by Cathrine Cleek Mann, and published by the Northeast Alabama Genealogical Society.Does anyone recognize the following, and is James P. WADE the same person who married Sarah CHANDLER in Habersham Co., GA in 1822?
A William A. WADE died in Benton Co., AL shortly before 8 Dec 1855 when an administrator was appointed to take care of his estate.He left no wife or children.His only heirs at law were David A. WADE, Sarah E. WADE, James P. WADE, and Simeon J. WADE, all of full age and residing in Benton Co., AL.William EDMUNDSON and Elijah WADE witnessed the "X"-marks made by the heirs when this declaration was made.
At his death, William A. WADE owned 40 acres in Benton Co. with some personal property.The heirs received their portion by 10 Feb 1859.
