Joseph M. Wade In Missouri

y name is Doug Wade and I live in Eugene, Oregon. I saw your note on genforum stating that you are related to Joseph M. Wade. He is my ggg grandfather.Joseph was born in 1815 in Henry County, Tennessee. he married Cynthia Alexander in October 19, 1839. They had 2 children in Tennessee before moving on to Missouri to be near her folks, I believe. There son, James W. Wade is my lineage. Apparently he stayed on in Missouri after his mom died and his dad, Joseph, remarried. You can find him listed under the 1860 census for Missouri living in the Alexander household. It is listed under Webster County, Union Township, page 807. He is living in the Alexander houshold but the name is spelled "R. M. Alescander" like the census taker might have heard it that way. There is a wife, Susan A., age 22, Constantine P, age 9, Martha M. J., age 7, Hester S, age 5 and Sarah, age 1. J> W> Wade is listed as living with them and he is 19 years of age. This coinsides with his birth year of 1840. I can be contacted at [email protected]. If you go to Goodspeed History-Marshfield, and look under the title of "Burial Grounds" you will find a Mrs Wade buried there. I suspect this is likely Cynthia Wade as there are no other Wades listed in the county. It says she died in 1857. That would fit the timewhen Joseph M. remarried shortly thereafter. If I remember correctly, and it has been a while, J W. Wade or James is listed in the Williamson County marriages. It gets a little strange and this is where the mixups can happen. I believe that there are 3 different jW Wades or James W. Wade listed for marriages around the same time in the same county. The LDS film on marriages helps a lot here. Like I said , the issue gets a little cloudy but I remember it as being strange at the time. THere is also 2 Joseph M. Wades in Missouri at the same time.Fortunately they were in 2 different counties. Ours was in Green County. It would be easy to get families crossed up at this point. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mowebste/marshfield.html#burialhttp://www.rootsweb.com/~mowebste/marshfield.html#burial
