Pictures!!!
10 August 2005 - 6:55:54am

You may have noticed that pictures are starting to pop up. I have several more pictures that I need to scan in (thanks Pete!), but I don't have pics for most folks. If you have any family pictures that you would like to see on the site, let me know and we can discuss the best way to get them posted.

New Accounts & Welcome
3 August 2005 - 9:53:34pm

I recently sent out invitations to all of those that I have email addresses for with an invitation to visit this site. If you are responding to my invitation, thanks and welcome! These folks already have accounts created. The email included instructions for logging into the site.

It is not necessary to login to view the site. User accounts give users more options and allow information on living people to be displayed.

By the way, if you do not want any of your information to be visible to other family members, drop me a note at geedubya@geedubya.com and I will block your info.

If you have any questions or problems, don't hesitate to let me know via email to the address above.

How the Wades Came to the Midwest

Researching the Wade family history has taken me back to North Carolina during the first half of the 18th century.

One of the questions I had was, "How did my family end up in Indiana?" Part of the answer to that question comes in the form of a mass-migration of Quakers around 1800. I do know that Royal Wade (my 4th great grandfather), his wife Phebe and several of their children left North Carolina sometime after May 15th, 1800. They were members of the Core Sound Monthly Meeting of Quakers which was located near Beaufort, North Carolina. In December of that same year, they were in southeastern Ohio, in the area around Colerain in what is now Belmont County.

I now know the when's and the why's, but am still researching the how's. How did they travel? How did they get to the Ohio Valley, what route did they take?

I have researched several migration routes of the period, but still do not have any definite conclusions on the route my family took. This is, of course, a pivotal question for this entire project and I am continuing to look at all resources I can find regarding the migrations of that time period.
