!FIRST NAME, DEATH DATE: Bible of Martha Jane Suddarth Wade. !SURNAME: Personal recollection of Nathaniel Smith WADE, son of Jerry WADE and grandson of Spicy TOMS. !BIRTH DATE: Federal Census; 1900; Albemarle County, Virginia; E.D. 8; sheet 5A. She is listed with child Jerry Wade, age 11, in the 1870 census for Albemarle County, Virginia, page 448. And she is listed, as age 75, in the home of her son Robert S. Wade in the 1910 census (Albemarle County, E.D. 8; house #236). !BIRTH PLACE: Federal Census; Nelson County, Virginia; 1860; page 841. !Spicie's father may be one Smith or Smithson Toms (see Smith Toms in this gedcom). The following facts tend to support this connection (but are not alone sufficient to establish it): (1) Smith Toms provided the consent for Spicie's marriage to Samuel Wade, but without stating his relationship to Spicie. (Albemarle County Marriages, 1780-1853; by John Vogt & T. William Kethley, Jr. (1991); vol. II; page 658.) (2) Chasteen Toms, a son of Smith Toms, was the bondsman for the marriage of Spicie Toms and Samuel Wade (see note under Chastine Toms). Spicie might possibly be the same person as the "Ann," age 19, listed in Smith Toms's household in 1850 (Albemarle Co., p. 270A), because Spicie was born in July 1831 (and so would have been 19 in 1850), and I have found marriages for seven of Smith's nine children but not for Ann. However, Spicie is listed on the same page of the census, two houses away, with her husband. Nevertheless, they had been married in 1849, only a year before the census. !No obituary for Spicie (Toms) Wade is in the Daily Progress newspaper of Charlottesville, Virginia, from June 28, 1910, through at least July 3, 1910. Later issues have not yet been checked, and the Charlottesville Chronicle, another newspaper of that time, has not yet been checked. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
