Cicero Thompson Wade: b. 1868 GA
Cicero Thompson Wade was the fourth child born to James Asa Wade and Pollyann Hale.He was born in Cobb County, GA in 1868.He was called by the name Thompson after his maternal grandfather, Thompson Hale of Gwinnett County, GA.Thompson Wade was with his parents in the federal censuses of 1870 (age 2) and 1880 (age 12).He has not been found in the next available census, 1900, or in later ones.
His parents and all of his eight siblings are buried at Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church cemetery in Austell, Cobb County, GA.In the old burial record book for that cemetery there is an entry for a “C.T. Wade”, and it is located between other entries for burials in 1893 and 1895, suggesting that particular “C.T. Wade” died by 1895.
Wade family descendants have said that when Thompson Wade died, he was survived by a wife.Some Wade family researchers state that Cicero Thompson Wade married Ida H. Keheley, daughter of Ransom Wiley Keheley and Ruhamah Meek of Cobb County, GA and that they had three children: Ernest Mancel, Roy Lorraine, and Lillian Cumi.Their 1917 registrations for the WWI Draft show Ernest Mancel born Sept 2, 1889 in Cobb County and Roy Lorraine born June 19, 1895 in Mableton, GA.(Mableton is in Cobb County and is where the farm of James Asa Wade was located.) The birth date for Lillian Cumi is not known, but the gap between the two boys births leaves ample room for her to have been born between 1890 and 1894.It is said that Thompson Wade left Ida and she returned to her parents’ home and that she died shortly after, on 4 Jan 1896.Ida Keheley Wade is buried at Bethel Baptist Church Cemetery near Smyrna, GA in Cobb County, where her parents and many other Keheleys are buried.She is the only Wade listed.

The two boys, Ernest and Roy, are with their grandfather, Ransom Keheley, and his second wife in Fulton County in the 1900 census.Lillian Cumi is not there.However, there are two entries in the burial book for the Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church Cemetery, one of which might be for her burial there.“L.C. Wade” is between 1891 and 1894;“Child of T.C. Wade” is between 1895 and 1897.
If Thompson Wade died by 1895 and Ida died in 1896, Thompson would have been “survived by his wife”.However, one family researcher states that after Cicero Thompson Wade left his wife, Ida, he 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 about 1898, and using the name Cicero Thompson Jacobs, had four more children, lived in Muscogee County, GA and probably died between 1910 and 1918, being survived by that second wife.
