B  Not known where info is from, prob. a FGR or PED.  Could his parents possibly be Richard OWEN and Emily BRYAN from Duplin County, and he be born 15 Dec 1777?  Double-check this!  This could be the one.  Or parents Ephraim OWEN and Sophie PICKENS, born 18 Oct 1771, Duplin Co.  Also, two others about the right time are:  w/parents William OWEN and Sarah SUTTERS abt 1778, Chatham Co.  This one could be the best one!!!!!  FGR submitted for proxy LDS ord:  FHL 1,553,604, batch F514911, sheet 28.  If this says name of spouse of William on it, we are off and running.  This is reg.

-- From:  http://genforum.genealogy.com/wade/messages/4558.html:
I would like to share this Wade Family information with all interested family members. They are my ancestors. "Josias Wade was born 1767 in Virginia. When quite a young man he moved to Frankfort,(Franklin County),Kentucky and there married Dorcas Broun,who died 1805 and in 1809 Josias took for his second wife Frances Dorson. Josias was a soldier in the old Indian wars and once when outraged Kentuckians pursued marauding Indians across the Ohio River, Josias and Daniel Boone fought the savages from behind the same log in the wild Ohio counrty. Later Josias fought in the Battle of Tippecanoe and still later, he engaged as a soldier of the War of 1812." Josias and Dorcas had 5 childern and Josias and Fances had 12 childern. 1st born Richard married Nancy Haze and moved to Pike Co. Illinois in 1826. In 1829 was living between Griggsville and Phillips Ferry (Valley City) 2nd wife Hannan Lindsey Pearcy(John) (came with 9 childern of her own) CAN ANYONE TELL ME MORE ABOUT Josias Wade's ancestors and where they came from. I have an extensive list of Josias decendants to share. Thanks Keith: bonnett@grics.net

That is really where alot of us have hit the wall Keith...It seems likely (possible) that there is a link that would take the Wades all the way back to the late 1500's to a Captian Richard Wade of the British Navy...Unfortunately no one I know of has been able to conclusively link Josias to Josiah Wade (possible father) which furthers the chain a bit further if validated..., SRE, 18 Dec 2003.
