David R.S., Elijah, Philip, Thomas 1827 Hall Co GA
All four of the subject gentlemen (David, Elijah, Philip, and Thomas WADE) won land in the 1827 land lottery.All four were living in Hall Co GA in Dorseys captain's district.I suspect this David is the one b. abt. 1775 that was the son of David and Agnes Hardy WADE.If this is the case then he is also the David who m. Charity BURFORD.
My records indicate that David and Charity did have sons named Philip and Thomas.
I have several questions you might be able to help me with:
If this is the David I think it is why does he have the designation R.S. (Revolutionary Soldier) beside his name since it seems unlikely, based on his age, that he was a revolutionary soldier?
Is this Philip and this Thomas sons of this David?
The Elijah in question is my ggg-grandfather and he was b. abt. 1804 SC.I suspect Elijah is David's nephew and thus he is a cousin to Philip and Thomas but I have not proved this to my satisfaction.Does anyone know if there is a relationship between this David, Philip, and Thomas and the Elijah who is also living in Dorseys district with them?
Any help would be appreciated.
