Co. Tx. census), and died 21 Mar 1862 in Wills Point, Van Zandt Co, Texas. She married *GEORGE BOXLEY WADE Bef. 1838 in probably Hickman Co.,Tenn., son of *ALLIN WADE and *MARY BOXLEY. He was born Jan 1806 in Halifax Co., Va., and died 12 Jan 1882 in Wills Point, Van Zandt Co., Texas.
Notes for *ELIZABETH CARTER:
The * was added as a note to find our line easier.
In the 1840 Tishomingo Co., Miss. census, Elizabeth and George and their children were living next door to Elizabeth's father's second wife, Dorthea. Two doors down from Dorthea, was Elizabeth's brother Soloman Carter.
..note by her great granddaughter, Betty PhillipsIt is beleived that George & Elizabeth may have married in Hickman Co., Tenn about 1836 or 37, but Hickman County courthouse burned during the Civil War and all records prior to that date are lost.
Notes for *GEORGE BOXLEY WADE:
The * was added as a note to find our line easier.As descendants of George Boxley Wade, we have tried to find "Our George" for years. I knew from the records from the Family Bible of Jane (Bradberry) Hunt Brazile Wade that George had been born in Virginia. Near the end of July in 2000, I happen to see a list of Wade marriages from Halifax Co., Virginia. In that list there was a Boxley girl and a Wade boy being married. Their wedding was after our George was a grown man, but it got me to thinking about the Boxley name. Could George's mother's maiden name have been Boxley? I then checked in the records around the time that would have been George's parents. The very first listing was for an Allin Wade and Mary Polly Boxley married 13 March 1794. The marriage records were put on the I-net by Kelly Hall. I then found a posting by Sally Bryan, who mentioned the Tinsley family in connection with Allin and Polly. With my grandfather being named William Tinsley Wade, there had to be a connection. I spent time at the Van Zandt Co. Genealogy library looking for more information on census, school, cemetery, probate, marriage, orphan, tax records, Wills etc. . Sally Bryant also gave me some information that had been well researched and documented.
Although it is not Proved, I believe George Boxley Wade to be the son of Allin Wade (I found his signature and it was Spelled "Allin Wade") and Mary "Polly" Boxley for these reasons:Allin & Polly were the right age and married at the right time and place to have been his parents. The census records for Allin & Polly show a male child the correct age.
George was born in Va. in 1806 (1880 Van Zandt Co. census states that George's parents were born in Va.) and Allin and Polly were born in Halifax Co. Va. and were married in Halifax Co. Va. on 13 March 1794.
All 9 of George & Elizabeth's children were named same names as parents, grandparents, or siblings of Polly & Allin.
Polly's grandfather and her brother were both named George Boxley.
Polly had a brother named William. Allin's mother's maiden name was Tinsley. Allin had a brother named Tinsley. George named a son William Tinsley.
George named one of his sons David Allen, perhaps for his father, Allin, and Allin's brother David.
Allin had sisters named Jane and Ann and an Aunt named Mary Ann. Polly's name was Mary. George named one daughter Jane Ann and one Mary.
Polly had a sister named Lucy. George named one daughter Lucy.
Allin's father and a son of Allin, were named John. George named a son John, perhaps for his brother and grandfather.
Allin had a brother named Edmund and an uncle named Edward. George named one son Edward and another son Edmond.
I will do further research on Polly & Allin but I believe them to be the parents of George Boxley Wade...notes by his great granddaughter Betty Phillips
It is believed that George & Elizabeth may have married in Hickman Co., Tenn about 1836 or 37, but Hickman County courthouse burned during the civil war and all records prior to that date are lost.

In the 1840 census, same Co., he is listed as 1 male 20-30 and 1 female 20-30 and 2 females under 5. This would be George, Elizabeth, Jane Ann and Lucy.
1840 Tishomingo Co., Miss. census, George, Elizabeth and their children were living next door to Doroth (Dorothea) Carter, who was the second wife of Elizabeth's father, David. Two doors down from Doroth was Soloman Carter, Elizabeth's brother.

===================================================================1850 Tishomingo Co., Miss. census, George Wade as head of household, age 45, born Va. , Elizabeth age 37 born Tenn., J. Ann age 12 born Miss., Lucy age 10 born Miss., Mary age 9 born Miss., Allen age 7 born Miss., John age 6 born Miss., William age 3 born Miss., Edmond age 4mo. born Miss..
In the 1860 census of Wood Co., Texas we find George Wade age 54 farmer born Va., Elizabeth age 47 born Miss., Jane age 22 born Miss., Lucy age 20 born Miss., Mary age 19 born Miss., Allen age 16 born Miss., John age 14 born Miss., William age 12 born Miss., Edward age 7 born Miss., Nancy age 8 born Miss. . There was also a Jacob Jones age 25 listed as a laborer living in the household.
In the Van Zandt Co., Texas 1870 census : George B. Wade age 60 born Va., Lucy age 27 born Miss., Allen age 26 born Miss., John 24 born Miss., William 21 born Miss., Nancy 17 born Miss., Edward age 15 born Miss. . (Elizabeth died in 1862)
The 1880 Van Zandt Co., Texas census lists G. B. Wade age 73, born in Va. and both parents born in Va., as head of household, wife, Jane age 50 born in Tenn. and not knowing where her parents were born, Malissa Brazile age 14, born Tx. and both parents born in Tenn., (Malissa died shortly after and is buried by her mother Jane in the Gilbert Cem. Van Zandt Co., Tx.) John Kuykendall age 5 born Tx., mother born Tx., father born Tn. ( John's mother was Maryann, the oldest child of Jane. Maryann died in childbirth and Jane raised her two children, John and Tom Kuykendall). A laborer was also living in the household. His name was Ed Carl age 18 born in La. and not knowing where his parents were born.
Jacob Jones and wife Jane Ann,(daughter of George and Elizabeth) and four of their children, were living next door with four of their children in the Van Zandt Co., Tx. 1880 census. (Jacob was living in the George Boxley Wade household in 1860 in Wood Co., Texas. He may have come to Texas with the Wade family.)George, Elizabeth and their 8 children were listed in the 1860 Wood Co., Texas census. Sometime during the next two years, they settled in the Cedar Grove Community in Van Zandt Co., Texas. Elizabeth died 21 March 1862. At the time Elizabeth died, her oldest child was 24 and her youngest child was 7. They had moved to Cedar Grove near Wills Point before 21 March 1862. Since there was a child buried in Cedar Grove shortly before Elizabeth, It is possiable that she died with complications from the birth of that child. Elizabeth died within 2 years of moving to Cedar Grove and the child died before her.
In the 1870 Van Zandt Co., Texas census, George showed up with children, but not Elizabeth. George and Elizabeth are buried there, in the Cedar Grove Community, as is one of their sons, Edward Walter and his family. Walter is buried in the Howell Cemetery, East about one fourth of a mile across the pasture from the burial place of George & Elizabeth.
Tradition says that when Elizabeth died, George insisted on burying her in a pasture beside their house by one of their babies (Could have been a grandchild). He did this against the will of their children. When George died, his children buried him in the pasture beside Elizabeth. Years later when Twakoni Lake was being built, a road was to be moved. The new location was to cross over the graves , or near the graves of George and Elizabeth. The Highway dept. notified some of the family, who told two of George's great grandsons, Doug Pickens (my brother) & Wade Robertson (grandson of Leona (Wade) Robertson), of the problem. Wade & Doug talked to Doug's mother, Lydia (Wade) Pickens, one of the grand children of the George Wade couple, about what to do. Together they decided to move the gravestone parts (They were all broken up from cattle walking on them and from wear from age.) and reassemble them in the Morence cemetery beside one of George & Elizabeth's sons, William Tinsley Wade. There was not a marker of any kind found for the infant child of George & Elizabeth at that time. The child's grave is located near Lake Twakoni, as are the remains of George & Elizabeth. Had the stones not been moved, they might have been forever lost. There is a mistake on his name on the stone. It says G. W. Wade instead of G. B. Wade. The same mistake was made on his name on his stepdaughter, Malissa's stone. It reads "Malissa Dau. of G. W. & J. Bruzell. At the time of her death, George was her stepfather. Her biological father was Henry Bruzell and he had already passed away. Jane, George's second wife, was Malissa's mother.
George stayed single for ten years after Elizabeth died in 1862. George married Jane Bradberry Hunt Brazile on 5 May 1872. Jane was the mother of Luvisa Hunt (William Tinsley Wade's) first wife, who only lived eleven months after the marriage. Jane was also mother to Lydia Caroline (Brazeale), William's second wife and mother to his 15 children. George was William Tinsley's father. George was also the father of David Allen Wade who married Jane's daughter, Sarah Elizabeth Hunt and George was the father of John Daniel Wade who married Jane's daughter, Eliza Jane Brazile. So you see, three of George's sons married four of Jane's daughters.......notes by their great granddaughter, Betty Phillips
(note added later): The highway department did not after all, as they said that they would, go into the pasture and over the graves to make the road. The graves are very close to the road, just inside a fence, on private property, under a cedar tree.
The original information on the location of the graves of George and Elizabeth and the child they were buried by, has been proven to be true. In July of 2001, B. W. Wade, son of Buck Winn Wade and great grandson of George and Elizabeth, decided to reclaim the graves of his great grandparents. He talked to the owners of the property where the Wades were buried and gained permission to fence off the area where the graves are located.
B. W. and I went to the grave-site and using divining rods,I found the three graves. The divining rods are just simply copper or brass welding rods, (either will work) which have been bent in a right angle about eight inches from the end to form a handle. By walking over an area where the ground has been disturbed, and holding the rods level in front of you, they will cross when you reach the edge of the grave and uncross when you reach the other side. There is a simple explanation for this. The magnetic field was disturbed when the earth was dug into and this causes the reaction in the rods. We found the concrete pieces of the Child's gravestone on its grave.
Today's date is Aug. 1, 2001 and the gravestone of George and Elizabeth has been returned to the grave site. B. W. Wade built a form for the concrete and Doug Pickens did the concrete slab for the broken pieces of the gravestones to rest on. The other descendants of George and Elizabeth will be contacted and given an opportunity to help with a new stone to be placed at the head of the grave.

Notes for SOLOMAN YOUNG CARTER:
Solomon Young Carter was born May 16, 1834, probably in Perry County,
Tennessee, to Solomon Carter and Winifred Pate. The tombstone located
in the Cool Springs Cemetery, Van Zandt County, Texas, states that he
was born May 5, 1834; however, the death certificate shows that he was
born on May 16, 1834.
By 1840 his family was living in Tishomingo County, Mississippi. On
August 8, 1839, while living in Perry County, Tennessee, his father had
been granted 20 acres, Land Grant #4188, Reel 172, Vol. 5, Pg. 557.
They were still in Tishomingo County in 1850. About 1852 they were in
Van Zandt County, Texas. In 1856, his father received a preemption
grant on Kickapoo Creek, 5 miles Southeast of Canton, Van Zandt County,
Texas.
On November 19, 1856, Solomon Young Carter married Susan Jane Moore,
the daughter of James Moore and Cynthia Hardcastle. They were the
parents of 8 children, the last having been born in 1876, all born in
Van Zandt County, Texas.
His wife, Susan Jane Moore Carter died in 1880. The place of her
burial is not known; she may be buried in the Cool Springs Cemetery, but

"Ladies and Gentlemen:
Your presence here today is a source of pleasure to me greater than I
have language to express, and, while many of you are strangers to me by
name, yet I realize the fact that you are the husbands and wives, the
fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters who now compose a part of the
grand and noble brother and sisterhood of Van Zandt County, and I am the
more pleased to see you here today because this is the day and place
appointed for the gathering together and social enjoyment of the old
pioneer settlers of Van Zandt County, one of whom I am proud to say I
am.
Just fifty-two years since (lacking a few days) I, with my father and
mother, three brothers and one sister, moved from Tishomingo County, in
North Mississippi, to Van Zandt County, Tex., leaving one brother,
William P. Carter, there. He, however shortly followed on, and since
that time Van Zandt County has been my constant home - a period of
fifty-two years. My father, my mother, with all my brothers and
sisters, are gone from this stage of life to realms I know not of (yet,
I believe - I hope), and when I am called from this stage of life to the
unknown scenes of the future, I can only ask, let my fate be as theirs -
nothing more, nothing less. But as to the Old Settlers of Van Zandt,
their mode of living and customs, of doing business in early days here,
is the subject matter about which I wish to speak, I will say:
About the first day of September, 1852, I crossed the Neches River,
nine miles west of Tyler, Texas, and there my feet first trod the soil
of Van Zandt. At that time there was only three public roads with
overseers in the county: One on the south side, known as the Porter
Bluff and Tyler Road; one on the north side, known as the Dallas and
Shreveport Road; one in the center, known as the Kaufman and Tyler road,
all running parallel with each other - east and west. At that time the
county was very thinly populated, with about 300 legal voters. Two or
three families had located on each of the public roads for the purpose
of serving as guide post to immigrants and for the accommodation of
travelers. At that time the interior parts of the county were dotted
over with two or three families constituting each neighborhood from
eight to ten miles apart. And when a new immigrant wished to explore
the rural districts, he, without guide or compass, launched out into the
wild woods so beautifully decked with all sorts of tree, vines and
flowers, directed on his way by the green and silent moss which grew
near the ground on the north side of the trees of the forest, and he
never missed his point of destination while obeying such direction.
Canton, our county seat, had been located two years before my arrival
in Van Zandt county. At that time about one-half dozen families had
located at Canton, mostly county officials, with Uncle Johnnie, as he
was familiarly called, and his better half, Aunt Betsey, Bivins as hotel
keepers. And I shall never forget the old-time dinners of which I have
partaken and enjoyed at Aunty Betsey's table, prepared and served by her
own hands. In the early days of Van Zandt county these hardy pioneers
had begun to improve and build up their county seat by erecting log
cabins for their residences and place of office. The courthouse then
stood on the west side of the public square. It was constructed of oak
logs, scalped on both sides by a broad-axe held in the sturdy hands of
an early settler as a kind of planing machine. The county jail stood on
the east side of the square and was constructed of the same kind of
material and in like manner as the courthouse. It, however, stood for
many years as an ornament to the county seat, only to be viewed and seen
from the outside, for in those good days of brotherly love and Christian
kindness there was no cause for remanding inmates to prison in Van Zandt
County.
The district court convened at Canton twice in each year, with two
weeks allotted to each term for the transaction of business, and was
presided over by that man who stands today as a bright star and living
monument among all the old pioneer settlers of Texas - the man who, by
honest endeavor laboring with his own hands, raised himself from a state
of honest poverty to the highest pinnacle of fame in the council of our
nation; the man whose name in memory will always meet a proud and tender
reception in the bosom of all the old pioneer settlers of Van Zandt
county; the man whose name is so familiarly known throughout all Texas
today - the Hon. John H. Reagan.
Canton, at that time was the only town or place of business and its
only post office in the county where mail matter was delivered by an
appointed carrier, services being performed on a mail coach drawn by
four horses en route from Tyler to Kaufman by the way of Canton. And
there the old pioneers of Van Zandt met together. They went there at
all times when law and duty demanded their presence in the courts of
their county. They went there in search of letters which brought them
tiding from relatives and friends then living in the older states and
country. They went there for the purpose of exchanging their produce
for such family supplies as they could not manufacture at home, which
consisted mostly in gun flints, powder and lead; the produce given in
exchange therefor consisted principally of dried coon and deer hides,
with dried venison, hams, which were frequently accompanied by a few
pairs of woolen socks and a few yards of woolen jeans which had been
carded, spun and woven by the cheerful and willing hands of the
pioneers' wives, mothers and daughters of Van Zandt county and held by
them as a surplus or balance after neatly and comfortably supplying all
the needs of the entire family household.
George M. Fain and Henry F. Blackwell, Sr., were doing a retail
business at Canton and were the only ones engaged in the mercantile
business in Van Zandt county at that time. They were always ready to
exchange with the people anything kept in their line of business for the
country produce mentioned, which was transported by them over a dirt
road on wagons drawn by oxen a distance of 140 miles to Shreveport, La.,
and there exchanged for more goods which were brought back to supply the
people in the future. It was by these common customs for the people
that they soon became acquainted with each other which emplanted in
their bosoms a confidence and a tender feeling sense of friendship which
never can be removed nor broken. And it is the memory of those warm
attachments that has called the Old Settlers of Van Zandt county to meet
here today. At that time Van Zandt county was but little more than an
inviting wilderness. Land was cheap. Three hundred and twenty acres
were given by the state to each settler by his remaining on same a term
of three years and then (not as now) every settler soon became the
master of his own home. Then it was that all seemed united and engaged
in one common cause. They went to work; they felled the timber; they
built houses of logs to live in; they cleared their farms; they opened
new roads and invited immigration. The axe, the saw, the maul and the
wedge were the chosen harps on which the fathers and sons played
together and each was a expert. And if one of these old pioneers saw
fit to change the tune for one day he called in the boys, and sound of
his horn, the yelp of the dog and the keen crack of his rifle were
signal messengers of that fact to his neighbors. The old-time cards,
the wheel, the loom, the needle and the scissors constituted the organ
on which the mothers and daughters played and there never was any
discord in their music. Any by their profession, without money or
price, they neatly and comfortable furnished all the necessary household
apparel. And with due respect to those who have seen fit to change
fashion since that time I want to say that in my judgment the neatest
and the prettiest; the most lovely, and the one who pleased my fancy
first above all others was a woman arrayed in garments made from fabrics
which she had spun, woven, colored and made with her own hands.
At that time literary schools in the rural districts were unknown in
Van Zandt county, but as the children grew up with the country,
schoolhouses were erected and teachers invited to come among us. And
the man who could solve all the problems in Smiley's arithmetic, and
understand all the rudiments laid down in the old blue back speller, was
considered as holding a first grade certificate. At that time churches
or houses for public worship were very few and far between, but every
one's bosom was the habitation of his Divine Master from which flowed
those noble impulses which prompted men and women to deeds of duty and
to love their neighbors as themselves.
Such, according to my best recollection, is a brief sketch of the
habits and customs of the early settlers of Van Zandt county. They are
days past but have left a pleasing recollection in the memory of every
Old Settler now living who witnessed their time.
And now in conclusion, let me say to you, my old pioneer brethren, we
should feel the more proud of those days when we all as one man planted
the seed from which grew the tree of wealth whose branches have reached
out and overshadowed every mile post in Van Zandt county. And while
some of us today are very poor and it may be said by some that our lives
have been a failure, but let us sorrow not at the present but rejoice in
our knowledge of the past and our hope in the future, for a time is
coming and a system is in operation that will bring all on an equality
with each other in the end as they were in the beginning. When the lion
will lie down in peace with the Lamb and know that:
All men are equal in their birth,
Heirs of the earth and skies.
All men are equal when this earth
Fades from their dying eyes.Tis man alone who difference sees
And speaks of high and low,
And tramples these and worships
these
While the same path they go.
Solomon Young Carter"The following is a story sent to me by Milda Mason, a descendant of
James Moore, the father of Solomon Young Carter's wife, Susan Jane
Moore. When Milda was a little girl, her family would sit around and
tell stories about their folks, and Milda would write them down. This
is a story she heard from her family and wrote down when she was young,
about Solomon Young Carter:Solomon Young Carter Story!!!!
"Young Carter got the hiccups once.... Lasted over a week and he
couldn't get rid of them... did everything to cure them and nothing worked..
Couldn't sleep or anything....They all got together and agreed on a possible solution..(it does not say who did it) they caught him in town, grabbed him from behind and threw him in the horse trough and held him under a good while. When they let him up he was cussing yelling and hollering (that's what it says) at them... but he wasn't hiccupping anymore. Said they all called him Hickfor a long time after that. Milda"Solomon Young Carter died June 8, 1905, while living with one of his
daughters in Grand Saline, Texas. It is believed that this was his
daughter, Sarah Matilda, who had married James Madison Wilson. They
were living in the Creagleville Community. He was buried in the Cool
Springs Cemetery, which is located South of Canton, Texas. His
headstone reads " An honest man is the noblest work of God ".

Solomon Young Carter
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solomon Young Carter was born May 16, 1834, probably in Perry County, Tennessee, to Solomon Carter and Winifred Pate. The tombstone located at the Cool Springs Cemetery, Van Zandt County, Texas, states that he was born May 5, 1834; however, the death certificate shows that he was born on May 16, 1834. Solomon Young Carter died June 8, 1905.By 1840, his family was living in Perry County, Tennessee. His father had been granted 20 acres, Land Grant #4188, Reel 172, Vol. 5, Pg. 557. They were still in Tishomingo County in 1850. About 1852 they were in Van Zandt County, Texas. In 1856, Solomon Young's father received a preemption grant on Kickapoo Creek, five miles southeast of Canton in Van Zandt County.
On November 19, 1856, Solomon Young Carter married Susan Jane Moore, the daughter of James Moore and Cynthia Hardcastle. They were the parents of eight children, the last having been born in 1876, all born in Van Zandt County.
Solomon Young Carter enlisted in the Confederate Service of the Civil War on July 10, 1862, in Van Zandt County, enrolled by W.W. Newland, for the period of the war, as 1st Lt. in W.W. Newland's squad; listed absent without leave since October 20, 1862, last paid by W. McMaster on August 10, 1962. In November and December, 1863, listed as private, 2nd Co. B, again absent without leave at Van Zandt County. January and February, 1863, he was listed as private, 2nd Co. B, listed absent without leave at Van Zandt County. Pay due from Enlistment. Apparently he had never received any pay for his services because all of his service reports stated that he was due pay from his time of enlistment.
A farmer, Solomon Young was appointed sheriff of the county on September 13, 1869. He resigned this position January 6, 1870. His wife Susan Jane Moore Carter died in 1880. The place of her burial is not known; she may be buried at Cool Springs Cemetery but this has not been documented.
He was married for the second time to Mrs. Sarah Ann Bethany Foster Hodges on January 1, 1883. They had one son, Daniel Boone Carter, who was born on November 25, 1886. He served as postmaster at Canton from September 2, 1889 to 1892. He then served as postmaster at Myrtle Springs, from December 4, 1899 to 1902.
Solomon Young Carter was asked to speak before the Old Settlers Reunion in 1904. His speech was published in the Wills Point Chronicle on July 28, 1904, page 7. The speech is set out below:
Solomon Young Carter's speech before the Old Settlers Reunion of Van Zandt County:
"Ladies and Gentlemen: Your presence here today is a source of pleasure to me greater than I have language to express, and, while many of you are strangers to me by name, yet I realize the fact that you are the husbands and wives, the fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters who now compose a part of the grand and noble brother and sisterhood of Van Zandt County, and I am the more pleased to see you here today because this is the day and place appointed for the gathering together and social enjoyment of the old pioneer settlers of Van Zandt County, one of whom I am proud to say I am.

The following song was written in 1925 by Daniel Boone Carter. This
copy was given to Ruby Gray Wallace by Daniel Boone's son, Bill Carter,
in 1997:"The Van Zandt Blues"
In the old "Free State" of Van Zandt
I was born long years ago;
And back in dear Old Van Zandt,
I will land, some day, I know.I lived in the good Old "Free State"
Untill I was thirty-three,
And why I ever left there
Is a mystery to me.Five years ago, I left there,
(I'll forever rue the day!)
And, if ever I get back there,
You can bet your life I'll stay.I have rambled from Red River
To the Gulf of Mexico,
From the Texarkana gateway
To the bridge at El Paso.In the hills of Central Texas
In the country by the Sea,
On the Western wind swept desert
There is no place for me.All my wary wandering
North, South or East and West,
In the Old "Free State" of Van Zandt
In the land I love the best.Tho I own no home in Van Zandt
Tho I hold no land in fee,
Yet, anywhere in Van Zandt,
Is Home, Sweet Home, to me.When my wandering days are over,
When I have ceased to roam,
I will settle down in Van Zandt,
And forever be at home.Yes, I want to live in Van Zandt
Where the people still know God,
And, I long to die in Van Zandt,
And rest beneath it's sod.You may think that I've gone crazy,
Or am full of bootleg booze,
But, the only thing that ails me
Is a case of Van Zandt Blues.Note: Daniel Boone Carter died in 1951 and was buried in the Woodside

is in possession of a fiddle that once belonged to Daniel Boone Carter.
This fiddle was given to James Kirby Gray, the father of Ruby, many
years ago, by Daniel Boone Carter. Daniel Boone Carter taught Kirby how
to play the fiddle, but Kirby only had an old hand-made fiddle which his
father, George Benjamin Gray had made out of an old candy box. Finally
when he saw how determined Kirby was in playing the fiddle he bought him
a fiddle, which Kirby played up until Daniel Boone Carter gave him his
fiddle. It is a treasure that is still being kept in the family....above notes by Ruby Gray Wallace, Grand Saline, Van Zandt Co., Texas.

Abbie Wills is a mystery. Descendents claim she was one of the originators of
Wills Point descendent, but this original marriage shows that she may have had
a previous marriage to someone by the name of Wills. Since this was during the
Confederate War, a lot of movement of people was happening. Some people claim
she was Indian but cannot substantiate it. Also, clouding her background,
buried in the same area is an Abbie Wills that was a descendant of the Wills of
Wills Point and seems to have been an old maid relatively the same age as our
Abbie.
Anybody with additional knowledge of Abbie would very much like to hear from.

the heirs.
The Wade farm was purchased from the heirs by Jack and Allie Martin and the

Notes for *WILLIAM TINSLEY WADE:
The * was added as a note to find our line easier.
William had no children with his first wife, Luvisa. Luvisa died less than 11 months after she and William married. William married second Lydia Caroline Brazeale, who was a half sister to Luvisa. This was 10 years after the death of Luvisa when Caroline was 16 years old. Jane Bradberry was the mother of both girls. With Caroline he fathered 15 children, 13 of which lived to be adults. His youngest child, Lydia, passed away in 2003 at age 98. She was my Mother. William left each child a house and a piece of land. Lydia, the youngest got the home place and 50 acres.
William was a member of the Church of Christ in the Morence community. He died July 31, 1911 and was buried in the Morence Cem., Van Zandt Co., Tx. .
....notes by his granddaughter Betty Phillips
Notes for LUVISA HUNT:
Luvisa is buried in the Gilbert cemetery by her mother Jane Wade. ( Also buried there is Molissy, a daughter of Jane and an infant son of Caroline and W. T.) William and Luvisa were only married 11 mo. when she died. She married at 16 years old and died at 17 years old. I have a copy of their marriage certificate. I also have a picture of her gravestone. William married Luvisa's half sister six years after his first wife's death. Caroline was 16 years old when they married. Caroline and Luvisa had the same Mother, Jane Bradberry Hunt Brazeale. Later on in 1872, Caroline's mother, Jane, and William's father, George Boxley Wade, were married.

George Willis was probably named for his two grandfathers, George Boxley Wade and Henry Willis Brazeale.When George Willis was teething, his mother, Caroline, & His grandmother, Jane, rubbed his itching gums with a thimble to releive the pain and itching. George got an infection in his gums from the thimble and died of it. This story was told me by my cousin, Russeylea Hendrix Caple.

One of Anna's favorite sayings was "Dat do beata me"
Anna is buried in the Jones cemetery which is on private property. Visitors are not allowed.

iv. MELISSA JANE WADE, b. 02 Dec 1881, Morence com. near Edgewood, Tx. Van Zandt Co.; d. 11 Jun 1957, Edgewood, Tx. Van Zandt Co.; m. JOHN KILE TURNER, 05 Jan 1899, Van Zandt Co. , Tx.; b. 12 Oct 1886, Wills Point, Van Zandt Co., Texas; d. 17 Aug 1955, Hugo, Choctaw Co., Okla..
Notes for MELISSA JANE WADE:
Melissa named three of her sons the same names as Allen & Polly named their sons. They were David Edward, Homer, and Dewy, who she could have named for Drury Wade, son of Allen. (My mother, Lydia, sister of Milissa, thinks the same about Dewy's name.)
Melissa's husband left her with a house full of kids to raise alone. She worked very hard. She never remarried. She helped to raise some of her grandchildren, (Eddy's children) after their mother got sick and died of T.B. . Melissa was a member of the Church of Christ. She had a new little house in Edgewood before she died. She dipped snuff. Melissa was buried on the day I found my oldest child's first tooth. . I loved Aunt Lissy very much. Mother (Lydia), called her "Sister". ....note by Betty Phillips

Notes for KATHERINE "KATIE" FISHER:
This is the poem I wrote for my grandmother. It was read at her funeral Feb. 26, 2001. It says it all. Lynette
“Ode To Miss Katie Shivers”Have you ever had a grandma,
One that was like mine?
The single, most loveable woman in all her time.
Well if not, then let me
Describe mine for you.
She had hair that glistens.
And shined like the dew.
Her eyes were like big oceans,
Which have helped me see the seas.
Her hands had been worn from picking cotton and peas.
Her smile on her lips,
And the laughter from within,
Only made you want to grab her up,
And kiss her again and again.
I sure loved my special grandma,
As you can probably tell.
For those who don‘t follow her lead,
Will surely go to hell.
In the good Lord she would always trust,
Never for worldly things did she lust.
She was a simple, caring lady,
Whom her friends and family adored.
I couldn't ask for a greater blessing,
Than to be able to hug her once more.
So let me ask you once again,
Be you family or a friend.
Have you ever had a grandma,
One that was like mine?
The single, most loveable woman in all her time?!(From my heart to yours, Grandma Katie. You are my world, my life & my strength.)
Together Forever,
Your grand-daughter,
Lynette Delorese Wade

Notes for HERMAN ELLIOT WADE:
Herman Elliott Wade bought a new Roadster in Wills Point in 1924.
My mother wanted to borrow that car and go to Dallas. Herman said no because it had a flat. Mother took the wheel off, took the inner tube out and sewed up the rip on the sewing machine and then put a patch on it. She got the car for the Dallas trip. Herman was the next one older than she was. She was number 15 and spoiled rotton.More About HERMAN WADE and CLEO PARKER:

Notes for *LYDIA CAROLINE (BILL) WADE:
Lydia was the baby of 15 children. She was a member of the Edgewood Church of Christ, where she attended faithfully until 96 years of age when she became too feeble. When Lydia was a teenager she legally changed her name from Caroline to Bill. When asked (at age 94) why she did this, she said "because it was cute, smart and foxy". She was a homemaker and seamstress, sewing for many of the ladies of Edgewood. She was a lifelong Edgewood area resident. Lydia was 98 years old, as of the 13th day of April, 2003. She lived one more month. Lydia had wanted to make it to 100 but was 2 years short. Much can be said for those 98 years, but most important is that she was a Christian. She lived that life. It has been said that how you live your "dash" (the dash between date of birth and date of death) is what is important. Her "dash" was lived well......memories by Betty Pickens PhillipsHerman Elliott Wade, Lydia's brother, bought a new Roadster in Wills Point in 1924.

The * was added as a note to find our line easier.
My daddy was Ocie Talmadge "Pas" Pickens. Even though my 3 brothers and my sister called him Daddy, I called him Papa. His grandchildren called him Pappy. Mother called him Pas. Papa was a member of the Edgewood Church of Christ where he attended faithfully after he was baptized at age 63. I remember telling my Aunt Mearl that Papa had been baptized. Her comment was "Thank goodness. He is such a good man. Now he will get credit from God for it". He was a good man, good Christian, and had a knack of making each person in his family feel that they were his favorite. Papa was a lifelong Edgewood area resident. He was a farmer, feed store owner, and loved to fish and was very good at it. Papa always seemed happy and was always whistling a happy tune. He died in 1975 of cancer.....note by his daughter Betty Phillips
