Notes:

Robert Wade Jr. is associated with John Frederick Miller and purchased the appurtenances on his land on 11 Apr 1759.

Halifax County, which extends to the North Carolina border, was a tobacco growing region, as it still is today. It is in the middle of Southside Virginia, in the Piedmont
Pleateau of rolling hills leading to the Blue Ridge Mountains, and today it appears that this land, in the southwest corner of the county, is in the area that forms something of a
triangle between secondary state Highways #691 and #659 (the River Road), very near the present community of Paces and possibly nine or so miles southwest of the county seat, also called Halifax. On a larger scale this area is south of U. S. #360 and north of U. S. #58. The tiny town of Turbeville, once called Bloomsburg, is about four miles southeast from where Tobys Creek flows into the Dan River. Danville, in adjacent Pittsylvania County is about 25 miles southwest from this point. [This is also the location of the Carters, Powells, Magbys and others who intermarry and create a web of kinships that extend to current time.

Robert married Sarah Ann Stokes 1749, Almond Grove, Halifax Co., Virginia. Sarah was born 11 Oct 1737, Lunenberg Co., Virginia; died Bef 1772, Halifax County, Virginia. [Group Sheet]
