Parents of Benjamin Wade b 1750 VA; move to SC,d Jasper Co.,GA 1824,
My ancestor Benjamin Wade b VA 1750 settled in SC and owned land in Clarke Co., GA by 1816 which he sold after moving to Jasper Co., GA . He was in the 1821 Lottery for Jasper Co., as being from Monroe Co., GA.
He died in Jasper Co., GA in 1824; as did son William L. in 1827.If the son James, my ancestor, may have died also in the 1820's: if he survived, he have not been possible to trace.
CAN ANYONE GIVE ME ANY CLUES AS TO WHERE IN VA BENJAMIN CAME FROM - AND WHO HIS PARENTS MIGHT BE?Or, provide info on the Waid part of our family?
Only one of his children, Benjamin (jr) seems to have spelled his name as WAID.The trail is difficult, but it appears that this family group may have been in the Coweta Co., GA area and moved to the Bartow Co., GA area at least by 1880, as did my ancestor James A. Wade b 1820 son of the aforementioned James, son of Benjamin b VA.
