Wade Notes:46150
Robert Wade, Sr. of Prince Georges County had a brother, Richard Wade (c1664-1727), whose first wife was Ann Jones. Robert Wade, Sr. of Halifax County had a nephew and legatee named Stephen Jones. Association of Robert Wade and William Stone provides additional circumstantial evidence linking Robert Wade of Halifax County to Robert Wade of Prince Georges County, Maryland. Theodosia Wade, sister of Robert Wade, Sr. of Prince Georges County, married William Stone, who may have been a grandson of Captain William Stone, who went from the eastern shore of Virginia to Maryland, where he became governor. Circumstantial evidence substantiate the plausibility of a connection between Wades of VA & Wades of MD. Robert Wade, Sr. of Prince Georges Co, MD, was a son of Zacharias (Zachary) Wade & Mary Hatton of Charles Co, MD, where Zacharias died in 1677. One of his (Robert Wade) legatees was William Hatton, whose relationship was not described in the will. Elizabeth Sprigg who married Robert Wade was a daughter of Thomas Sprigg, gentleman, (1630-1704) & his second wife Eleanor Nuthall, daughter of John Nuthall. (ACROSS THE YEARS IN PRINCE GEORGE'S CO, Effie Gwynn Bowie, Richmond, 1947, reprinted Genealogical Publishing Co Baltimore 1975). Thomas Sprigg, Jr., brother of Elizabeth Sprigg Wade, and his first wife Margaret Osborn, had a daughter Priscilla Sprigg, who married Ralph Crabb and had a daughter Sarah Crabb. Robert Wade, Sr. of Prince Georges County, Maryland, was a son of Zachariah (Zachary) Wade and Mary Hatton of Charles County, Maryland. Robert Wade, Sr. died in 1714. His wife Elizabeth Sprigg Wade died after 04 November 1713. Meek Wade, daughter of Zachariah and Mary Wade, married Enoch Magruder. Meek inherited 100 acres of a tract named Stony Harbour, on the southside of Tinkers Run, which had been left to Zachariah Wade by his father Robert Wade. Robert Wade married Eleanor Sprigg and died in 1713. Zachariah Wade will proved 25 May 1677. Son Robert Wade was left a 600-acre portion of the tract called Market Overton, 500 acres known as Forest Green, 350 acres on Piscataway Creek named Stony Harbour (Harbor), and 200 acres identified as Friendship.

Wade Notes: some coincidences that suggest that Robert Wade, Sr. of Halifax County, Virginia, was Robert Wade, Jr., the son of Robert and Elizabeth Sprigg Wade of Prince Georges County, Maryland. It has been estimated that Robert Wade, Sr., who died about 1770 in Halifax County, was born about 1700. 46150 (Seems to imply there is another Robert between Robert & Elizabeth Sprigg Wade and son Robert?)
