<strong>ROYAL</strong> <strong>WADE</strong>24 February 1791, with John Hale as surety on their bond. (Marriage Bonds of FranklinCounty, Virgina, 1786-1858, Marshall Wingfield, 1939, reprinted GenealogicalPublishing Company, Baltimore, 1973.)The births of their children were recorded in a Wade family Bible (Possessed byDorothy Ellis Hedges, Bagdad, KY, transcribed by Ronald Harrod, Bagdad, 1976.) TheBible is an Alexander's Stereotype Edition, published by C. Alexander and Company,Athenian Building, Franklin Place, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1834. It has not beendetermined to whom it originally belonged, who made the entries or how it descendedto Ruth Duncan Ellis, who gave it to her daughter Dorothy Ellis Hedges, but it isreasonable to assume that Ruth received it from her mother Martha Wade Duncan,who was a daughter of William Wade and Louisa Crook Johnson. The Bible alsocontained the birth and death dates for Louisa Johnson Wade, and a loose-leaf birthrecord for the family of her parents Jones Johnson and Polly Crook of Madison, Shelbyand Franklin counties, Kentucky.While residing in New York City and visiting Bagdad, soon after receiving the transcriptof the Bible entries from Ronald Harrod in 1976, this compiler telephoned Mrs. Hedgesfor permission to see and photograph the Bible. She reluctantly agreed, but when hearrived at her home, shortly after calling, she did not answer the door, apparently, ashas been suggested by other relatives in the Bagdad area, uneasy about admittingstrangers into her house and being a jealous guardian of the Bible. Ronald Harrod, alsoa Wade descendant, described the Bible as “very old & rotten and moths have eatenpart of it.” It measured about 12 by 8 inches. The front cover was missing and the backcover was “very stiff” leather. Some of the pages appeared to be missing from when hesaw it some fifteen years earlier, while it was in the possession of Ruth Duncan Ellis.Most of the upper third of the family record page, containing the family of Royal Wadeand Rachel Jones, is missing because of a diagonal tear that carried away the namesof the first four entries, which probably included the parents, since the first remainingnotation is the day and year of the birth of their first child Mary Wade in 1794:. 18, 1794Oct. 21, 1797Sarah Wade born Sep. 19, 1799Rachael Wade born May 8, 1801Susanah Wade born Jul. 2, 1802John Wade born Jan. 2, 1803Marget Wade born Apr. 28, 1805Anderson Wade born Dec. 9, 1808Isaac Wade born May 18, 1809Eliza Wade born Dec. 11, 1811Josiah Wade born Dec. 28, 1812Squire Wade born May 4, 1814William Wade born Aug. 7, 1817The following entries were written by two or three different hands in various places inthe Bible::Prepared by WILLIAM G SCROGGINS 26 Jun 1998: 718 Mill Valley Drive, Taylor Mill KY 41015-2278 3

Born in 1805, Margaretactually was 58 in 1863.Identified in her marriage license as being born in Shelby County, Margaret Wadeapparently was the first of the children of Royal Wade and Rachel Jones to be bornthere. They were in Woodford County, Kentucky, from 1793 (Woodford County,Kentucky, Deed Book B, page 329). After Polly was born on 28 April 1805, Royal andRachel were identified as residents of Shelby County on 05 August 1805, when theysold their Woodford County land.

In 1779,Daniel Boone’s brother, Squire Boone, Jr., erected a fort at the Painted Stone on ClearCreek, where Shelbyville now stands. About 1783 Squire Boone transferred it toColonel Lynch and it became known as Lynch’s Station. (History of Shelby County,Kentucky, George L.

(Kentucky General Highway map, 1973.)On 01 April 1807 Royal Wade acquired 157 acres, on Six Mile Creek in Shelby County,from Charles Lynch for $1.00. The minimal payment suggests that there was another,more important, consideration involved, such as a familial relationship, but the basis forthe price is not known. The tract adjoined lands of Abraham Cook, John Miles,Bohannon, Rogers and Plaister. With the exception of Rogers, these surnames arefound with the Wades in Franklin County, Virginia. The parcel of land was part of a2000-acre survey patented to William Dandridge and William Duvall. Lynch wasrepresented in the transaction by William Taylor, Attorney-in-Fact.

Benson Creek drains the other side of theridge into the river. The other streams of Shelby County run south into the Salt River(Kentucky General Highway map.) A map of Jacksonville, Precinct No. 9, ShelbyCounty, in 1882, shows the residence of Anderson Wade south of Consolation on theroad to North Benson Post Office (now Hatton), which probably was on the land of hisfather Royal Wade.

Polly and Sally Wade weremarried by 1820.Since Polly Wade, who married Thomas Wade in 1813, would have been 26 in 1820, itappears that she died before the 1820 census was taken, after having four childrenbetween 1814 and 1820, unless she was entered in the 45 and over column in error:(page 174, line 38.)Thomas Wade 1 M 26-45 1 F 45+ (?)4 M -10 (?)Polly probably was dead, and the older woman probably was someone helping Thomascare for his young sons, because on 01 March 1825 Thomas Wade married NancyPatton (Shelby County, Kentucky, Marriages, 1792-1833.) Since there appears to havebeen only one Thomas Wade in Shelby County at this time, this scenario is logical, butit has not been proved that this marriage applies to the husband of Polly Wade.Jubal Lee was registered on the same sheet as Royal Wade and Thomas Wade: (page174, line 10.)Jubal Lee 1 M 26-45 1 F 16-26 (Sally)1 M -10 (?) 1 F -10 (?)Patrick Fitzsimmons, father of Mary who married Josiah Wade in 1836, was enteredjust before Jubal Lee: (page 174, line 9.):Prepared by WILLIAM G SCROGGINS 26 Jun 1998: 718 Mill Valley Drive, Taylor Mill KY 41015-2278 12

The 1830 Kentucky census index does not include either Anderson or IsaacWade and there is no John Wade of residence in or near Shelby County. (Kentucky1830 Census Index, Dora Wilson Smith, Heritage House, Thomson, IL, 1974.) There isno knowledge of the adult life of John Wade, so perhaps he died young. AndersonWade, who married America Cheatham in Spencer County in 1831, probably was livingwith an employer in 1830. Isaac Wade apparently married Eleanor Barnhill before 1840.They lived in Indiana, where they had children from about 1841 until 1849, before goingto Iowa, where they resided in Yellow Springs Township, Des Moines County, in 1850:(The Wade Quarterly, Volume 3, Issue 2, Evelyn Wade, Llano, TX, September 1976.)Isaac Wade 40 M Laborerborn KYElanor Wade 28 F KYWilliam Wade 2 M INSarah Wade 7 F INJames Wade 5 M INMary Wade 3 F INEliza Jane Wade 1 F INAs the first child listed, the age of William must be incorrect. Perhaps it should be 9instead of 2. This would give him a birth date of 1841, which would fit the age ofEleanor Wade who would have been 19 in 1841. Born about 1822, she probably did notmarry Isaac Wade before 1840. Robert Barnhill and Isaac F. Wade are on the 1840Indiana census index in Montgomery County (pages 695 and 815).Rachel Wade, Jr. married Theophilus Brawner in 1821, but his name also does notappear in the 1830 census index for Kentucky.Thomas Wade and his second wife seem to be in Oldham County, Kentucky, in 1830.Oldham was formed in 1824 from parts of Shelby, Henry and Jefferson counties:(Federal Census Microcopy 19, Roll 40, page 289.):Prepared by WILLIAM G SCROGGINS 26 Jun 1998: 718 Mill Valley Drive, Taylor Mill KY 41015-2278 13

IfWesley was born after 1813, he could have been one of the four males under 10 withThomas Wade in Shelby County in 1820. In Oldham County in 1830, Thomas Wadehad four males between the ages of 5 and 20 residing with him. The elder could havebeen Wesley Wade.Elizabeth Wade, wife of Wesley Wade, is buried at Indian Fork Baptist Church inShelby County.

<strong>ROYAL</strong> <strong>WADE</strong>The correct initial for Enos Wade was M. He probably was named for his maternalgrandfather Enos Miles. Enos M. Wade, aged 25, born in Franklin County, son of Royaland Rebecca Wade, died of consumption on 18 April 1852 in Franklin County,Kentucky. (Bluegrass Roots, Volume III, No. 3, Kentucky Genealogical Society,Frankfort, 1976.) This statement of birthplace indicates that Royal Arial Miles lived inFranklin County about 1827, after marrying Rebecca Miles in Shelby County in 1820,and before moving to Henry County, where he appeared on the 1830 census. Enos isburied in the Russell Cemetery on property owned by Ellsworth Kesler in 1978. Thegraveyard is on the east side of a wooded ravine that drains into Benson Creek, 800yards from Highway 12, 3.7 miles from Bagdad on the Shelby-Franklin county line.

Wade and A. J. Wade. (Collections for the History of theWade Family, Stuart Charles Wade, Microfilm Reel 4; unpublished notes on 4 reels ofmicrofilm.) As abolitionists, James and Sarah moved from Missouri to Nebraska andthen, after the Civil War, returned to Missouri. Unless Mary E. Wade was named MaryElizabeth and called Lizzie, James A. Wade and Sarah Christie also had a daughterLizzie Wade Hardin. (Data of Earl F. Wade.) In 1876 James A. Wade, a native ofShelby County, Kentucky, lived in Daviess County, Missouri, Pattonsburg Post Office,Townships 61 and 62, Range 29 West, to where he had come in 1856. (DaviessCounty Atlas of 1876, quoted in Wade Waid Waide, Mrs. Jeff Wade, Jr., Bragg City,MO, 1975.)Cynthia A.

(Shelby County, Kentucky, MarriageBook 5, page 1076.)Susanna Jane Wade, daughter of Royal Wade and Rebecca Miles, married JamesGhormley Miles, son of Samuel Miles and Hannah Ghormley, on 12 November 1850 inFranklin County, Kentucky. Samuel Miles was a brother of Rebecca Miles Wade, so thecouple were first cousins. James Ghormley Miles was born on 02 July 1827 and died on15 March 1898.

<strong>ROYAL</strong> <strong>WADE</strong>It has been said that Royal Arial Wade may have had a daughter who married aRogers. (Data of Earl F. Wade.) Perhaps she was Cynthia who married SamuelRobertson. Census records do not support the existence of another daughter.On 14 October 1852 William Elza Wade, son of Royal Wade and Rebecca Miles,married Louisa Scrogin, daughter of Benjamin Scrogin and Pamelia Bohannon andsister of William Samuel Scrogins who married Mary Edna Wade, daughter of WilliamWade andLouisa Crook Johnson. Thomas M. Daniel performed the ceremony before witnessesWilliam Bohannon, James Wilcoxen and James Wade. (Shelby County, Kentucky,Marriage Book 8, page 2119.)It has not been determined when Royal Arial Wade moved from Kentucky to Indiana,but he and his brother Squire reputedly left Kentucky because they were opposed toslavery. (Hoosier Pioneers, Ethan A. Miles, Indianapolis, 1937.) Rebecca Miles Wadewas born in Virginia on 08 January 1794 and died in Danville, Hendricks County,Indiana, on 30 July 1874, at the age of 80. Royal Arial Wade died in Danville on 11March 1884, aged 87.The date of the death of Rachel Jones Wade is not known, but she died before herhusband. Royal Wade, widower, born Virginia, died on 27 August 1855, aged 87 years.(Records of Kentucky Historical Society, Frankfort.) Born on 10 July 1766, Royal wouldhave been 89 before 27 August 1855.Anderson Wade and William Wade were enumerated as neighbors in Shelby Countyon the Kentucky census, dated 29 June 1860. The real estate of each was valued at$800.00, which suggests an equal division of their father's land. The personal propertyof William was valued at $425.00 and that of Anderson at $400.00. Their unmarriedsister Eliza, who was described as an idiot, resided with William.

It named three children, Jeremiah, Ann and IsabelBohannon. Jeremiah, who lived on the Pigg River, was to be bound out to JosiahJones, with whom his daughters were then living. (Will Book 1, page 27a, Surry County,North Carolina, Will Abstracts, Jo White Linn, publication data missing, transcribed byJames Bohannon, Escalon, CA, 1988.)James Bohannon apparently died of blood poisoning: (Records of the Moravians inNorth Carolina, 1752-1775, Volume II, Fries, publication data missing, transcript fromJames Bohannon.)March 18, 1774, Br.

Br. Bonn took it out, buthe has a wound-fever.Aug 6th At five o'clock the body of James Bohannen was buried in our Parishgraveyard. Br. Fritz conducted the service in English.The description, “from England,” by the Germanic members of the Moravian Church,may imply that the Moravians determined the birthplace of James Bohannon or just hisancestral origin. It also may be simply an identification by language. When theMoravians were migrating from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, to Wachovia, North Carolina,in 1753, they stopped for one night with Robert Jones on the Pigg River and describedhim as a Welshman.

Enos Miles owned land on Glenns Creek in Woodford County,Kentucky, in 1796, which he sold to Aaron Darnell in 1809, apparently before moving toGermantown, southwest of Dayton, in Montgomery County, Ohio, to live in an antislaverystate. Enos married (2) Sarah Ann Troup Rentfro, a widow, in MontgomeryCounty on 12 March 1812. (Hoosier Pioneers.)There is a tradition that the first wife of Enos Miles was Ann Buchanan, a sister ofPresident James Buchanan of the United States, who was a son of Andrew Buchananand Jane Russell. After the Revolutionary War, Enos Miles moved with his parents fromBaltimore, Maryland, to Chester County, Pennsylvania. On 30 July 1789 he marriedAnn Buchanan in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and later migrated to Lynchburg,Virginia, then to Versailles, Kentucky, and finally to Ohio. (Data of Mildred ChristieBarnes.) Lynchburg, Virginia, is in Campbell County which was formed in 1782 fromBedford County. It is near Franklin County where Enos Miles married Ann Bohannon.Born in 1770, Ann Bohannon Miles was nearly a generation ahead of PresidentBuchanan (1791-1868), who was a native of Mercersburg, Franklin County,Pennsylvania. To justify the contention that she was a sister of the president, it hasbeen proposed that two weddings were held to satisfy the desires of both families, oneon 25 July 1789 in Virginia and one on 30 July 1789 in Pennsylvania.
