      1776, February 12 -- Will of Edward Wade

      Halifax County, Virginia, Will Book 1, Page 157

      Edward Wade died after 12 February 1776, when he made his will, and before 19 September 1776 when it was proved.

      Edward Wade of Halifax County bequeathed his entire estate to his wife Letty Wade until his daughter Betty Marshall Wade became 16 years old, at which time all of it was to be sold and the money divided equally between his wife Letty, daughter Betty Marshall Wade, and his sons William Wade, Abraham Martin Wade and Washington Wade. None of his children had issue and all apparently were minors, since he instructed his executors Memucan Hunt, William Stokes, William Rawlins and Samuel Perrin to see that his children were educated. Edward Wade signed his will in the presence of Charles Wade, William Wade, P. Moss and Ann Wade.
