    • Although Hampton Wade was not described as dead in his father's Will in 1770, he apparently was, since only his son Robert, and not he, was named as an heir. He must have died before 24 Dec 1764, when his widow Jean (Jane) Ellis Wade married 2nd, Samuel Perrin, by a Halifax Co. bond bearing that date, which was secured by Thomas Covington and Witnessed by Thomas Tunstall. In her Will, dated 4 Nov 1785 and proved 19 Jan 1786, Jean (Jane ) Ellis Wade Perrin made bequests, among others, to her daughter Betsy LeGrand and her son Richard Wade (Halifax Co., VA WB2/177, THE WADE QUARTERLY, Volume 5, Issue 1.) Richard Wade, son of Hampton Wade and Jean Ellis, was born in Amelia Co., VA in 1751, Married Mary 'Polly' Boyd and died in Halifax Co., in 1812. Polly Boyd Wade was born in Halifax County in 1758 and died there in 1815. ....
