Subject: Rebecca HAMES and Elijah WADE 1802 SC, 1823 GA, 1830 AL From: Eldon Wade Date: November 19, 2000 Things seem a little slow on the lists and I haven't posted this in a while so I thought I would give it another shot. Please pardon me if you subscribe to more than one of these lists as you will get more than one copy. I am looking for the parents of my ggg-grandfather Elijah WADE. Elijah WADE b. abt. 1804 SC m. Rebecca HAMES on 12-30-1823 in Hall Co GA. Rebecca b. abt. 1802 SC was the dau. of John HAMES and Charity JASPER. Elijah and Rebecca lived in both GA (prob. Hall Co) and SC (prob. in Union, Cherokee or Spartanburg Co) as they had children b. in both states. In 1830 Rebecca and the four oldest children can be found in Jackson Co AL. Elijah was living with William KING in Spartanburg Co SC at the taking of the 1830 census. This William KING was very active in the Big Creek Church in SC in the 1790s. In 1840 the entire Elijah WADE family was living in Morgan Co AL. In 1850 and 1860 they appear on the Marshall Co AL census. Known children were: 1. Elizabeth WADE b. abt. 1825 GA m. Nicholas BLAKE in 1842 Marshall Co AL. 2. A son (don't know the name) b. abt. 1825. Info from 1830 Jackson Co AL census. 3. Margaret WADE b. abt. 1827 AL m. John BLAKE in 1842 Marshall Co AL. 4.
