Wade Notes: Zachariah Wade, son of Richard, may have married a daughter of John Courts of Charles County since he named a son John Courts Wade.46709 (wife’s surname Courts?)

Zachariah Wade apparently had a daughter Charity Wade who married Samuel Adams. As administrators of the estate of Zachariah Wade, Samuel Adams and his wife Charity Adams filed a report on  21 September 1737 which identified Theodosia Speake and Francis Meek as kin. (MARYLAND GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY BULLETIN, Volume 25, Number 1.)46709 (dau Charity?)
