PREFACE. The fact that up to the present, no one has published a connected account of a family, famous not only in England, but in America, should be a sufficient excuse, if excuse be needed, for the compilation of this book. A family which has produced Armigel Waad, Secretary of the Privy Council to King Henry VIII. of England and one of the first English­ men to land in America; his son, Sir William Waad, who had so lead­ ing a part in the colonization of Virginia, and whose activity as Lieu­ tenant Governor of the Tower of London procured for him the epithet of "that villain Wade," from his prisoners, Sir Walter Raleigh and Cobham; Colonel Nathaniel Wade, the ill-fated Mor.mouth's companion at Sedgmoor; Field Marshal General George Wade, Commander-in­ Chief of the British Army in early Georgian days and builder of the famous Highland Roads; Colonel Nathaniel Wade, of Massachusetts, who held West Point the night after Arnold's treason and who was the friend and confidant of Washington and Lafayette; scores of Revo­ lutionary soldiers; United States Senator Benjamin Franklin Wade and his patriot sons, Major-General James Franklin Wade and Major Henry P. Wade of the United States Army; Jeptha Homer Wade, Senior, the first President of the present Western Union Telegraph Company; his son, a Union officer, and his grandson· to whom the compiler dedicates this book; and to. turn for a moment to the Old World, Sir Claude Martine Wade, K. C. B., the soldier who firstforcll! the Rhyber Pass, and Sir Thomas Francis Wade, G. C. M. G., K. C. B., Her Britannic Majesty's Ambassador at the Court.of China; such a family may be pardonlild for a family pride which, deeming insuffi­ cient the scattered notices in biographical and genealogical works, bas essayed to present a collected, though necessarily far from perfect, History of the Wade Family. Occupying, as the present compilation has, the labor of many years and requiring the expenditure of much money, it can only hope to serve as an index or stepping-stone for others who come after to use. All honor to our ancestors who preserved records, to Savage, whose Genealogical History of New England has proved of ~reat value, and to those, dead and gone, who with a pardonable pride in the possession of an honored name, collected much of the material. The compiler can only say with Montaigne, "I have gathered a posie of other men's flowers, and nothing but the string that binds them is mine own."

Though the little J1,fayftower bore none of the name, as early in the days of settling the Massachusetts Colony as r630, came Nathaniel, Nicholas, and Jonathan Wade, solid yeomen of the English county of Norfolk, and settled around Boston. From this stock came men who rushed to arms at the first call of the colonies, who mustered at Reho­ both to fight the fierce N arragansetts, who went with Pepperell to the attack on Louisbourg, and whose descendants, in the times that tried men's souls, responded to the first echo of the Lexington alarm - men who fought at Bunker Hill, at Saratoga, at Harlem and in Rhode Is­ land, and who went with the "Father of their Country" to the wintry horrors of Valley Forge. The records of the Revolution have been carefully examined and all information obtained as to those Wades who took up arms for freedom. The compiler's especial thanks are due to very many members of the family for valuable information, data, copies of documents and assist­ ance in his self-imposed task. The obligations under which he remains to Messrs. Ebenezer Delano Wade, Judge Decius S. Wade, Major­ General J. F. Wade, Jeptha Homer Wade, Junior, William Wade of Pittsburg, Daniel Treadwell Wade, William Dwight Wade, Alexander L. Wade, George Washington Wade, Alfred L. Beebe, and his trans­ atlantic correspondents, William de Vins Wade, Armigel Bleaymire Wade, D. T. Newton-Wade, William Cecil Wade, and Claude Fitzroy Wade, in this respect, are deep and very sincere. There exists a third class - as the old Winchester adage runs - to be scourged. 'l'o the many engrossed too deeply iu the chase of the almighty dollar to reply to his circulars of enquiry, the compiler can only express his conviction that in future years, their negligence will be execrated by their descendants. It remains but to add that all corrections, data and particulars will be welcomed by the compiler with a view to later and more extended editions of the work.

The Wade Genealogy,

CHAPTER I.

THE ORIGIN AND ETYMOLOGY OF THE NAME OF WADE AND HEREIN OF DUKE WADA. (a) "Sine nomlne, homo non est." Puteanus: Diatr: de Erycio. "To find out the true original! or surnames Is full of dlf!lcultie."-CA'.IIDEN. Wade, according to Lower (Patronymica Britannica), is one of the names that man derives from the face of nature. Britaine's Remaines (1614) speaks of it as a baptismal name in use in England at the Conquest (1066). It is one of the oldest English names, as the following folk-rhyme, (quoted by Lower), will show:- With Thorpe and Bourne; Coke, Carter, Oke, Combe, Bury, Don and Stowe and Stoke, With .Ey and Port; Shaw, Worth and WADE, Hill, Gate, Well, Stone are many made Cliff, ilfarsh, and Mouth and Don and Sand, And Beck and Sea with numbers stand. As to the derivation of the name, the same author ascribes it to the· Anglo-Saxon wad, as importing a meadow or a ford. The late Dr. E. Cobham Brewer, also, in his excellent Dictionaiy of Phrase and Fable, derived the name from the Anglo-Saxon wad, a ford; wadan, to ford or go through (a meadow), but erroneously instances the Anglo-Saxon name for the month of June-Weyd­ monat; as, so called, according to V erstegan, " because the beasts did then wryd in the meadow, that is to say, go and feed there." Thus, an investigator may expect to find innumerable instances of the surname from the earliest date when surnames came into general use. Lower also informs us that the surname Wade itself (a). The compiler acknowledges the deep debt of gratitude due to his friend Mr. Wm .. Addison Hervev, A.M.-, Instructor in Germanic Languages and Literatures. Columbia University, New York City, for a considerable and valuable portion of this first chapter. To his painstaking effort is due the entire credit for the excerpts and transla­ tions from the earlv Scandinavian and German literature as to the ex­ ploits of the hero· Wade. If, as is sincerely hoped, this chapter pos­ sesses more than a mere genealogical interest, a part of the credit be­ longs to Mr. Hervey for his kind collaboration with the compiler. (11) 12 THE w ADE GENEALOGY. is also derived from a baptismal use of the name, but affords a grain of comfort by the statement that it is not included in the sixty most common surnames of the English people, a dictum also confirmed by the reports of the Registrar-General of Births, Deaths and Marriages in England, and the data of the four largest American cities. Arthur, in his Etymo/ogic.zl Diclt'on.iry of Names (1857) incor­ rectly ascribes our surname to the Dutch as derived from weide, a meadow or pasture, but the Dutch weide, it seems, may have been itself derived from the earlier and kindred Anglo-Saxon. Hereon Ferguson, in his English Surnames (1858) goes more to the root of the matter by relating that the father of the Anglo­ Saxon hero Weland, was called in that dialect Wada; in Old Norse, Vadi, and in Old High German Wado. The philologist Grimm identifies Wada with the Danish hero Wate, in Gudrun. In an old Anglo-Saxon poem, called the Wtilsilh, (Scop, Gleeman's or Traveler's Tale, for the terms are identical), we are told that Wada ruled over the Helsings, a Scandanavian tribe which left a trace of its occupancy in the place-name, Helsingfors (b). Grimm goes further and derives Wada's name from his having waded, like a second Christopher, with his son on his shoulder, over the nine-ell-deep Groenasund (c), J?etween Seeland, Falster and Moen. Chaucer, the father of English poesy, mentions this famous Saxon hero, perhaps real-perhaps mythical--in his classic Canter­ bury Tales. He says : " And eke thise olde widewes (God it wote) They connen so moch craft on Wades bote (d) So mochel broken harm whan that hem lest That with hem shuld I never live in rest." (Lines 9297-9300.) (b). Helsingaland was probably the Finnish peninsular on the Gulf of Bothnia. There is now a town named Helsingfors on the southern extremity of that peninsular, situated on the Guff of Finland. Also a district in eastern part of Sweden, (just across the Gulf of Bothnia), called Helsingland. (c). Groenasund is the modern Gron Sound, between the Danish island of Zealand, Falster and l\foen.-(W. E. H.) (d). Professor W. \V. Skeat, the eminent Chaucerian scholar, in his Worhs of Chaucer (London, 1894) Vol. v. pp. 356-7, and his notes to the Canterbury Tales (line L.124 of The ,11archantes Tale), after men- ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF WADE. 13

(d) tioning various allusions to Wade, (all of which appear in this chap­ ter) continues: "After all, most light is given us by the following sentence in Vigfusson and Powell: C[orpus] ProeUcuml B[oreale], I. p. 168: -'that the king; [Nidad's;] daughter [B"odwild]had a son by Weyland, the famous Wade (the memory of whose magic boat Wingelock lin­ gered in Northern England till the Reformation), we know from Wilkina Saga. ·•I entirely differ with M. Michel's extraordinary conclusion about the boat-•· Nous avons quelques raisons de croire que ce bateau n'etoit pas d'une course aussi rapide: en effet dans l'Edda ii est dit qu' Odin avint un valet et une servante nommes Gang lat et Gang la!!, mots qu'on tlit signifier marchant lentement." Of course Ganglate and Ganglret (as they should be written) mean 'slow-goer,' but this has nothing to do with Guingelot, which is mere­ ly a French spelling of some such form as Wingelok. It is obvious that the sole use of a magic boat is to transport its possessor from place to place in a few minutes like the magic wings of Wade's own father. This is all we need to know, to see the point of the allusion. Old widows, says Chaucer in effect, know too much of the craft of Wade's boat; they can fly from place to place in a minute, and, if charged with any misdemeanor, will swear they were a mile away from the place at the time alleged. Mr. Pickwick, on the other hand, being only a man, failed to set up an alibi', and suffered accordingly." Professor Skeat's opinion of Michel's suggestion is certainly correct, as there could be no such connection between the Icelandic and French words. Fr. Gu- regularly corresponds to Eng. W. as for example in the equivalent of the proper name William. His explanation of the allusion in Chaucer's line is ingenious and perhaps correct, if we assutµe that the tradition of the boat became confounded with that of the magic wings or, properly, "feather-gar­ ment. " When Wieland put this on be had somewhat the appearance of a bird, although the King was still able to recognize him, perhaps by his voice, for .he spoke as a human being. Wieland's boat had no particularly magic qualities, nor did it afford especially rapid trans­ portation. It took Wieland eighteen days to float from the mouth of the River Weser to the domain of King Nidung in Jutland (see post Vilkina Saga, ch. 20). Men fishing near the coast dragged the enorm­ ous trunk ashore in their nets. They marvelled at its appearance, be­ cause it was so cleverly hewn and thought that something good must be hidden therein. They sent to the King, asking him to come and see this tree. When the King came and saw the trunk, he command­ ed them to examine what might be in it. Then they began cutting into the trunk; but when Wieland found what they were doing, be called to them and told them to stop and said that a man was inside. And when they beard the voice, they thought that the Evil One him­ self must be in the trunk; and they were terrified and ran away in this direction and that, and told the King they thought the Evil One was in the trunk. Meanwhile Wieland opened the trunk. came out and went before the King and said: 'Sir, I am a human being and not a spectre: and diligently do I pray that you will give me protec­ tion for my person and my belongings; then I will go with you and serve you'" (ch. 21). It. is to be noted that Skeat errs in speaking of Wade as Wieland's son. He bases his statement on the note of Vigfusson and Powell which he quotes without going to the Vilkina Saga for verification. That the editors of the Corpus should have made this slip is a m/itter of some surprise, for the Vilkina Saga says plainly THE WADE GENEALOGY.

And again the same poet in The Booke o/ Troilus and Cresse1ile, refers to this hero as p::>pular and well known in the following words: "He songe, she plaide, he told a tale of Wade." (e.) (Book III, line 615.) As to the origin and significance of the word or name of Wtide, the earliest occurrence of the name of Wade in literature is in W2dsilh, or The Traveler's Song, line 22, where JVada is men­ tioned as ruler of the Helsz'ngs. The date of Wiils!lh is probably as early as A. D. 433-440, and the poem is quite certainly con­ tinental. Of the Helsings we have no information, except that Adam of Bremen (who wrote about A. D., 1080,) mentions Hel­ sz'ngaland as "civitas maxima Scritofinnorum." In the La)' of Wieland (Elder Edda), the father of Wieland, Egil, and Slagfid, is a Finnish king, whose name is not mentioned. In the W1lk1'na Saga the father of Wieland (Volund) and Egil, is Wade (Vadi). In the Anglo-Saxon poem, The Lament of .Dcor, (belonging to the seventh or eighth century), the story of Wieland (Weiand), as told in the Vilkz'na Saga, is referred to so circumstantially as to show that the poet knew it well. · The story of Wieland's having been carried across the Groena- (d/ that the son of Wieland and Bod wild was T,,Vittig. The four genera­ tions are Wilkinus, Wade, Wieland, Wittig. Is it possible that Wade bec;ame confounded with his father \Yilkinus, whose boat was boarded by the mermaid with whom he had lain while ashore just before he set sail from the Baltic coast in Russia? (cf. post, transl. from Vilk. Saga, ch. 18). The mermaid climbed over the stern, seized the rudder and helc1 it so tightly that the ship came to a standstill. She did not leave the ship until Wilkinus told her to come to him in his domain, where he promised to receive her well, and take good care of her. Six months later she made her appearance at his dwelling saying that she was about to bear a child by him, and he received her according to his promise. May there not be an allusion to the cunning of widows and a comparison with the mere-woman who brought ·wade's father to terms by heroic measures ? Skeat says further (note to line 1.p5 broken harm): - - - - - Taken all together, lines 1424-6 simply imply that · old widows are so full of tricks for deceiving me, and can inflict at pleasure such small but con­ stant annoyances, that I &c. (He explains broken harm as meaning "fragmentary, i.e. petty annoyances," "small worries.") (e). "In this," says a critic, "there seems to be some obscene allu­ sion to what anatomists have termed fossa navicularis, (as to which see Dunglison's Medical Dictionary p. 689), though what immediate conuectio"n there could be with the mythical Wade, no.w escapes us." ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF WADE. sund on his father's shoulders, was probably a part of the Anglo­ Saxon tale, as well as his exploit in the wonderful boat which he made from the trunk of a tree. The wonderful exploit of Wade in carrying his son across the Groenasund, where it was nine ells deep, might easily bring about the transfer of the boat episode to him. · The Anglo-Saxon words which have a similarity to the proper name of Wada or Wade are : (1.) wadan, to go, stride, etc.; specifically, to go through water, to wade. With this verb belongs the noun, wad, a ford ; this word occurs also as wmd. (2.) wiid, clothing, garment, etc.; the modern English weeds.

The resemblance between the name and the verb wadan seems to offer a very plausible derivation. Grimm evidently believes it the correct one, for he says he was probably so called because he waded through the Groenasund with his son, Wieland. It is more likely, that this exploit was attacped to Wade through a popular etymology of his name, which had, in fact, nothing to do with the verb wadan (to wade), but was derived from Wuolan (Wodan). .It is probably ·true, however, that this name ultimately goes back to the same root as wadan, in its earlier meaning, to go,- hence, Wuotan :-source of movement or energy. . As noted later in the remarks on Wate in Gudrun, there is a little doubt that Wada is the successor of the god Wuotan, for he is everywhere endowed with superhuman characteristics, and his function in the heroic sagas corresponds very closely to that of Wuotan in the earlier legends of the gods. If this be conceded, it is easy to connect the Anglo-Saxon name for the Milky Way-Waetlingastret-with the popular belief that Wodan's "wild army" or "wild hunt" passed over the sky by this route. It is to be noted further that in the district to which the Gudrun belonged the name for the Milky Way is Vi·oneldenstraet (Frau Hilde's Way); and the leader of Hilde's army for the recovery of Gudrun and the punishment of her abductors was Wate. The Anglo-Saxon verb wadan has nothing to do with the word wryd (monat), as the month of June was called. W[!,rd is con­ nected with wcedan, to roam about, to hunt, etc., and wad, a hunt. 16 THE WADE GENEALOGY.

English has lost this word, but it is the German weiden, to feed, pasture, ultimale{y to go seeking food, whence the idea of hunting, which is preserved in the noun Waidmann (hunter), but not in the verb. It may be connected with the Latin ve-nari, to hunt. Watan, on the other hand, is the German waten, to wade, which is ultimately connected with the Latin va-dere, to go, this being, as noted above, the earlier meaning, now lost, of the Germanic word. As to the origin of the family-name, Wade, nothing of any sig­ nificance can be said. Speculation in this direction is futile. While all indications point to an early Germanic origin, there is always present the possibility of its having come from Romance sources, so far as the etymology is concerned. The Italian bor­ rowed the word as guado, and it might have come back into English as a surname. The very early record of Wada in Anglo­ Saxon sources seems, however, to make this unlikely. The most natural way to account for the surname would be to connect it with the place of residence, i. e., it was given to a family living near a wad, or /ord. The English did not keep " of the " between the Christian and the family name. While the Dutch name, e.g., remained Van-der-voort, the Englishman called himself plain Ford. It will be appropriate here to notice the mention of Wade in the Vilkina Saga, an abstract of the parts relating to Wade being as follows:- Chapter 18, "Of King Vilkinus, how he got the giant Wade with a mermaid. Vilkinus, King of Vilkinaland, was a mighty and warlike hero. It happened once that he was crossing the Baltic Sea with an army ; and when he was about to sail for home and was lying off the Russian coast, it chanced one day that the King went ashore and into a wood alone, none of his people being with him; and here in the wood he saw a woman who was very beautiful and see~ed to him most pleasing to look upon. She delighted the King forthwith and he went up to her ; this woman, however, was none other than what is called a mermaid, a creature that in the sea is shapen like a monster, but on land has the appearance of a woman. King Vilkinus put his arms about her neck, kissed her, drew her to him and lay with her. And when his people, who should have been following him, missed him, ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF WADE. they went about the wood seeking him ; and soon afterward the King came again to his people and his ships. "And as soon as a favorable wind rose they sailed away; and when they were far out ·at sea a woman climbed over the stern of the King's ship, seized the rudder and held it so tightly that the ship stood still. The King marveled how this could happen ; and he remembered that it was the same woman that he had found in the wood by the sea-coast, and he said to her: ' Let us go our way ; and if you have any matter to lay before us, come to my land, where I will receive you well, and abide with me.' Hereupon she let the ship go and swung herself again into the sea, and the King sailed homeward to his domain. "And when he had been home a half year there came to him a wonian and said that she was with child by him; and he knew this woman well and had her brought to a house that belonged to him. And when she had dwelt there a short time she bare a child that was named Wade. Hereupon she would no longer remain there and vanished; and none knows what has become of her since that. But the hoy when he grew up became so tall that he was a giant; he took after his mother altogether, and was not like other persons, but was ill-natured in his ways and was therefore nowhere welcome. His father, also, loved him little ; but before he died he­ gave hiin twelve estates in Seeland (also read Sweden and Sax­ land)." Chapter 19 tells us of the giant Wade and his son Wieland : ·asiollows: "The giant Wade, the son of King Vilkinus and the mer­ maid, dwelt now in Seeland on the estates which his father had given him, as has been before told. And it is not told of him that he was a war-hero, but he was satisfied with what his father had given him at the beginning. "Wade had a son who was called Wieland and was of exceeding good promise. When he was nine winters old, Wade would have him learn some craft; he had heard of a smith in Heunenland who was called Mimer, and was of all smiths the most cunning. Thither fared the giant Wade with his son Wieland and gave him into Mimer's care, that he should learn to smithy iron. After that Wade returned home again to Seeland. "At that time there was with Mimir also, Siegfried, the valiant, THE WADE GENEALOGY. and he did to his fellows much ill, ·struck and beat them. When the giant Wade heard that his son was also often beaten and abused by Siegfried, he came again and took him home to See- !and. _ "Wieland had ber~ •1,ree years in Heunenland and was twelve winters old, and he remained now twelve months home with his father. He was thought well of by everybody and was also the most cunning of all men." Chapter 20 relates to the giant Wade and the dwarfs and of their death, and is in part as follows: "Now Wade heard in See­ land that two dwarfs dwelt in a mountain that was called Kalleva. These dwarfs knew how to smithy better than any other, either of dwarfs or of men; well did they know how to make all iron-work, such as swords, armor and helmets ; also of gold and silver they could make all sorts of jewels ; and from every ore that can be forged they could make whatever they would: "Then the giant Wade took his son Wieland and fared thither. And on the way he came to a sound that hight Groenasund (/); but there was no boat to set him over the sound, and he waited there some time. Now when he had waited long and no boat ap­ peared, he took the boy, set him on his shoulders and waded through the sound, which was nine ells deep. More is not told of their journey until they came to the mountain. "Wade went to the dwarfs and talked with them and said he had brought his son Wieland hither and would that they take the lad for twelve moons and teach him all kinds of smith work ; for that , he would give them as much gold as they would agree for. The dwarfs said that they would take the lad and teach him every kind of craft if Wade would give them a mark (g) of gold. That he accepted and gave it to them forthwith. "The giant Wade now fared home to Seeland. But Wieland re­ mained there and learned to smithy, and so easy to teach he was that he could f9rge after them whatever model they might give him. And so well did he serve the dwarfs that when Wade came for him at the time agreed they would not let him go. And now

ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF WADE. they begged Wade that the lad might stay again twelve moons there, and before Wieland should leave them they would rather give back again the mark of gold which they had taken for him, and they would teach him as many arts again as he had already learned. This offer Wade accepted and agreed with them for the day of his return. But the dwarfs rued it that they were to buy his services so dearly; therefore they talked with Wade and demanded that if he should not come on the day agreed to fetch his son, they should be permitted to cut off the latter's head. These condi­ tions Wade accepted and would now fare homeward. Then Wade talked with his son alone and bade him follow him outside the mountain ; this the lad did and then they spoke to­ gether about many things. "Wade had a sword, which he took and thrust into a bog covered with bushes so that none of it could be seen. Then he said to Wieland: ' If I do not come on the day that is now agreed be­ tween us and you need help, because the dwarfs wish to take your life, do' you take this sword and defend yourself manfully ; for that is better than to be murdered by two dwarfs; and I will that our kinsmen shall say that I have begotten a man and not a woman. But I cannot think otherwise than that I shall come on the day agreed.' Then father and son parted and Wa,de fared homeward . . . . . "Now when the twelve moons were nearly past, Wade would go to fetch his son, rather too early than too late, because the way was long and he would not that he should come after the ap­ pointed day. So he fared hence, and traveled both night and day until he came to the place which had been appointed; and he came there three days earlier than had been agreed. But he found the mountain closed and could not get in; so he lay down before the mountain and waited to see what would happen until the mountain should be opened to him. But from his continued journeying, and the long way, he was sore wearied, and so he went to sleep and slept very soundly and very long. He was not tender, and he lay down just as he was, and he snored so that one could hear it far. But meanwhile there fell such a heavy rain that it was a marvel; and at the same time there was a heavy earth­ quake, and it loosed from the mountain above a cliff, which, with 20 THE \VADE GE)lEALOGY. a stream of water, with trees, stones, rubbish and earth, over­ whelmed the giant; and so did Wade lose his life. "Now when the appointed day came the dwarfs opened the moun­ tain, went out and looked around to see whether Wade had come for his son. Wieland also went out and down the precipice before the mountain and looked around for his father, but saw him no­ where; then he came to a valley and saw how a cliff had lately fallen, and straightaway it came to his mind that this cliff must have slain his father; and he saw that there was no revenge to be taken, and he thought now of what his father had counselled him before they parted, and sought where the sword might be hidden; and at first he went to look by the cliff, but then he remembered that Wade had hidden the sword in a bush-covered bog, but this bog had been buried under the avalanche. Then Wieland knew that he was in sore need; his father was dead and he himself was destined to die. Again he looked about and saw on a sudqen the sword hilt sticking up out of the gro~nd. Then Wieland went thither and pulled the sword out, looked at it and said : ' What need I now fear of being worsted!' "He saw how the dwarfs stood on a mountain and looked about, but they were not aware of Wieland's purpose. Wieland went now als<., to the mountain and had the naked sword under the folds of his mantle and let it not be' seen; he went up to the one nearest him and gf.ve him his dealh blow, and after that he slew the other. Then Wieland went into the mountain and took all their smith tools and all the gold and silver that he could find. Hereupon he took a horse that belonged to the dwarfs and loaded it with f1eir gold and precious treasures ; he himself was laden with as much as he could carry, and now he turned north­ ward toward Denmark. " When Wieland had gone three days as quickly as he could, he came to a great river that was called the Weser, and he could not cross it. And by the stream was a great wood and there he tarried some time ; and it was near the sea. Then Wieland made ready; he went to a hill by the shore and picked out a great tree, felled it to the earth, cut it in two and then hollowed it out inside; and at the thinner end, where the branches grew, he placed his tools and his treasure, and where the trunk was thicker ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF WADE. 21

and roomier he put his food and drinks and himself got in, and then he closed the trunk so tightly that neither river nor sea could in any wise harm him ; and before the holes that were in the tree he put glasses, which were so arranged that he could remove them as quickly as he would; but when the glasses were there no water could enter, just as if the tree had been without holes. So the tree lay on the bank of the stream, and in it Wieland with all his treasure and all his tools ; then he moved himself about in the trunk until it rolled into the water. This trunk was now carried out into the high seas and was driven about for eighteen days until it finally came to land." A synopsis of chapters 21-31 is as follows: "Wieland's boat went ashore in the domain of King Nidung, in Jutland, and he became his man. At first he served at the king's table, but through an accident he was enabled to show his skill as a smith. He made a trial of skill with Amilias, the king's smith, whom he defeated and slew. He then became King Nidung's smith, and was famed in all northern lands for his skill. " King Nidung marched forth with his army to meet an invading enemy. When one day's march distant from them he found that he had forgotten his ' victory stone.' He called for a volunteer to return and get it, promising his daughter's hand and half his kingdom as reward. Wieland alone offered to make the attempt, which he succeeded in by riding the wonderful stallion Schimming. On his return the king's lord high steward tried to take the stone from him by violence, but Wieland slew him. For this the king banished him from his presence and Wieland disappeared, none knew where. " Finally Wieland returned disguised to King Nidung's court and found a place in the kitchen. In revenge he attempted to poison the king's daughter, but was detected through a knife which he had made to accomplish his purpose and which led to his identification. For punishment the sinews of his legs were cut, so that he was thereafter always lame. For a while he was ill treated, but was subsequently restored to favor and given charge again of the royal smithy. "Egil, Wieland's brother, came to King Nidung's court. He was a famous bowman, and to prove his skill the king compelled him 22 THE WADE GENEALOGY. to shoot an apple from the head of his three-year-old son. This master shot became far-famed. " Nidung had three sons and a daughter. The latter broke her best gold ring one day and sent it to Wieland to repair. He refused unless the princess should herself come to the forge. She did so, secretly, and Wieland i:estored the ring, but first he lay with her, and this matter both kept secret for a time. " Wieland quarreled with two of the King's sons and slew them, concealing their bodies. They were sought long but vainly, Finally Wieland took out the bodies, stripped the flesh from the bones and from these made all sorts of utensils for the King's table. "The princess was with child, but told no one of Wieland's being its father. She loved him and would fain have married him. Wieland had now revenged himself on King Nidung and thought it best to make his escape, lest Nidung might learn of what he had done. With Egil's help he made a garment of feathers. He flew into the air and called to the King, who marvelled to see Wieland thus transformed. Wieland told him that he had killed his sons and lain with his daughter, and thus revenged himself. The King was wroth and bade Egil to shoot an arrow at the bird. Egil aimed and shot Wieland under the left arm, where the latter had tied a bag containing the princes' blood. When Nidung saw the blood he thought Wieland was mortally hurt. Wieland, how­ ever, flew away to Seeland and dwelt there on the estates which Wade had possessed. Nidung died soon after and was succeeded by his son Otwin. The princess bore a male child, which was named Wittig (other sources say she was called Bodwild). Otwin was friendly to Wieland, invited him to return and gave him his sister in marriage, and Wieland continued to dwell in Jutland." In the Gudrun (or Kudrun) Wate occupies a very prominent place in the story. He is King Hettel's foremost vassal and counsellor and performs many important services. He is called the Old ( or Venerable, about= Wise), the Valiant, the Wi•e. Wate is lord of Sturmland, which he holds in fief from Hettel, King of the Hegelings. Like all of the other characters in the epic Wate is wholly unhistorical. The poem is a blending- of myth and ORIGIN m· THE NAME OF WADE. 23 legend, and was originally a tale of t ~ gods which m the course of centuries became transferred to heroes. (The Gudrun was written down in its present form about A. D. 1190-1200, but the songs on whi9h the folk-epic is based probably existed many cen­ turies before. The geography of the poem is not certain, but the land of the Hegelings was probably on the coast of the North Sea, and Sturmland (or Sturmen) was probably adjacent to Frisia.). Some of Wate's deeds in Gudrun are the following: "King Hettel had heard of the beauty of Hilde, daughter of King Hagen of Irland. With Horant and Frute of Denmark, also Hettel's vassals, Wate sails to Irland. They pretend to be merchants, give rich presents to Hagen and ask his protection, declaring they have been exiled by Hettel. At court Wate especially attracts the attention of the ladies by his splendid stature and attire. During a tourney Wate fights with Hagen and proves himself a master-swordsman. They remain in Irland some time, until finally Hilde and her young women go aboard their ships one day to see their splendid treasures, whereupon they sail away and bear the princess to Waleis (not Wales, but the site of the present Netherlands), where Hettel receives them joyfully. Hagen subsequently makes an expedition against Hettel. In fierce combat he wounds Hettel and is himself wounded by Wate. (The foregoing deeds seem to belong to Wate's younger days.) "Hettel and Hilde have a daughter, Gudrun, like her mother, of famous beauty. She is wooed unsuccessfully by Siegfried of Morland, Har/mu/ of Ormanie (Normandie) and Herwig of Seeland. The last named attacked Hettel with a large army. A fearful combat ensues and Gudrun begs that they make peace. Herwig again sues for her love, wins it, and they are betrothed. He returns to his land and is subsequently attacked by Siegfried of Morland. At Gudrun's request Hettel goes to his help. During his absence Hartmut comes and abducts Gudrun, with thirty or more of her women, carrying them off to Seeland. Messengers take the news to Hettel and Herwig, and on Wate's advice they make peace with the Moors and pursue the abductors. By Wate's advice, also, they seize the ships of some pilgrims whom he knows to be not far away. This seizure seems to have brought 24 THE wADE GENEALOGY. disaster to them. (The author seems to connect pilgrims with one of the crusades, a matter of no historical significance). They overtake the abductors at the Wiiifensand (or Wiiifenwerder), an island in the mouth of the Scheide. A fearful battle is fought, in which Wate was foremost in dealing death to the enemy. King Hettel was slain by Ludwig, Hartmut's father. During the night following the battle, which was to be resumed on the next morn­ ing, the Normans stole away. The Hegelings do not attempt pursuit, for their ranks have been terribly depleted. Wate alone dared to take the sad news to Queen Hilde, of the defeat and her husband's death. For thirteen years no attempt is made to rescue Gudrun and take revenge on the Normans, but at the end of that time enough of the Hegeling youth have grown up to make the expedition possible. Wate, now an old man, but with undi­ minished strength and fierceness, leads the expedition. They reach Normandy and attack the fortress. When the besieged see Old Wate, they dread him as they would "a fierce and savage lion." Long and fearful waged the battle, the lines flowing back and forth like the waves of the sea. One there was that never yielded an inch on this day, and that was old Wate. 'Terror went before him, death and horror followed him. Finally Wate and Hartmut came together, and only with difficulty did Herwig sepa­ rate .. them, Gudrun having besought him to do so for the sake of Hartmut's sister Otrun, who had treated Gudrun kindly during her captivity. Then vVate, more furious than ever, stormed through the castle slaying men, women, and even children in their cradles. The wicked Queen Gerlind, who had treated Gudrun most cruelly because she persistently refused tc break her vows to Herwig and marry her (Gerlind's) son Hartmut, Wate seized and dragged out into the great hall, where he cut off her head. Wate would have burned the castle, but the counsel of Frute and other leaders dissuaded him." As compared with Wade of the Vilkina 'Saga, the most import­ ant difference in Wate is his fierce warlike nature. Wade, in the Vilkina Saga, is said to have had the wild ways of his mother, but does not appear as a warrior. He dwells contentedly on hi~ estates in Seeland, except when he goes to apprentice his son Wieland to the smiths. It is believed that Wate did nnt origin- ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF WADE. ally belong to the Gudrun story, as he does not appear in the Scandanavian version. He seems to have been conceived by some as a storm-giant, the name of his domain (Sturmen) perhaps giving such suggestion. In the Gudrun are found several traces of his superhuman nature and origin. He is said to have had the strength of twenty-six men, his stature strikes terror, in his fury he rages and roars like a lion. He blows a horn (h) that can be heard thirty miles, and its blast causes the sea to foam and the castle walls to tremble. He possessed the power to heal wounds, which art he had learned from a wild woman (probably his mother, the mermaid Wachilt.) Wate has characteristics that belong to Wuotan and has prob­ ably been developed from the god for ~he purposes of the hero­ legend. Wuotan possessed the healing art, as is noted above of Wate. Wuotan (or Odin) is represented with a great beard; Wate in Gudrun has a beard a yard in width. The god is spoken of as aged or venerable: so, too, Wate, even early in the poem, when he would in natural order of things be still in his prime, for thirty years later he is still the same fierce, invincible warrior. As Wuotan was the source. of power, the one who decided the issue of war and battle, so Wate is the organizer and leader of warlike expeditions and the chief counsellor in important crises. Finally it may be noted that the exploits of Wate are identified with the scenes of Wuotan's activity, viz., Denmark and the Neth­ erlands. Chaucer is not the only early author who refers to Wade, for in the old English romance of S1i- Bevis o.f Hampton, (South­ ampton), (1) we find After Josianis cristing Beues dede a gret fighting,­ Swich bataile ded never non

(h) It is curiou's how this horn legend has been preserved in the family of Wade. A horn is to-day in the possession of William de Vins ,vade, Esq., of Great Dunmow, Essex, England, with an inscrip­ tion of "Wada" upon it. A half-tone illustration of this curiosity appears in (Jhapter II, with full description. (i) Metrical Romances of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries; published by Henry Weber, Vol. III (Edinburgh, 1810, small Svo.), page 315. Wade's adventure with the dragon is only alluded to in the Auchinleck and Stafford MSS of Sir Bevis. 26 THE WADE GENEALOGY.

Sir Thomas Mallory in his Jl,forte d' Arthur (Vol. 1, p. 229, Edit. 1816, ~ vols.; Wright's Edit. 1858, 3 vols., I c. 126, p. 247; Macmillan Edit. by Strachey, 1879, cap. 9, p. 135), which in 1469 embodied many romances of the Crusaders, refers to the prowess and bravery of Wade as proverbial. The passage occurs in a scene between a distressed damsel and the knight Sir Beaumains, on which Tennyson clearly founded his Gareth and Lynette, and is as follows: "And then she said to Sir Beaumains: 'Why followest thou me, thou kitchen boy? Cast away thy shield and speare, I counsaile thee yet, and flee away betimes or thou shalt say soon, alas! for were thou as wight (brave) as ever was Wade, or Sir Launcelot, Sir 'l'ristram, or the good knight. Sir Lamorake, thou shalt not pass a pace hereby, that is called the pace perilous (pass perilous.')" From these quotations it would appear clear that at one time there was current in England a series of folk-stories as to the exploits of this hero Wade. That these stories are lost seems due to the execrable carelessness of Speght, whq, in his editions of Chaucer (London, folios 1598 and 1602), passes over in his glos­ sary the words "Wade's bote" with the remark, "Concerning Wade and his bote called Guingelot, as also his strange exploits in the same, because the matter is long and fabulous, I pass it over." " Tanfemne rem tam negligenter ?" says Tyrwhitt (Edition of Chaucer, (1843),) of his predecessor, 5peght, "who, in his commen- . tary on Chaucer, has omitted as trivial and fabulous the story of Wade and his bote Guingelot, to the great prejudice of posterity; the memory of the hero and the boat now being entirely lost;" adding, " Mr. Speght probably did not foresee that posterity would be as much obliged to him for a little of this fabulous matter concerning Wade and his bote as for the gravest of his annota­ tions." (j) A fur-drake is, of course, a fire drake or fiery dragon. ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF WADE, 27

See also Sir Walter Scott, Lay of the Last Minstre· 4to, Lon­ don (1805) p. 238. The question arises as one of considerable moment for the present work-who was this hero Wade whose exploits were so famous at one time as to have formed part of the folk-lore •and folk-song of old England ? Irreparable as is the loss caused by Speght's carelessness, M. Francisque Michel, an erudite French­ man, has done posterity much service by collecting, in the form of a letter to M. Henri Ternaux-Compans, all that is known in rela­ tion to Une Tradt'tion Angloise .Du 1}fQYen Age. This pamphlet, published in 1837, and now extremely rare, affords an inter­ esting amount of information as to this once-popular hero Wade. From it we learn that in an enumeration of the heroes of Romance, found in a manuscript translation of Guido Colonna, which is dubiously attributed to Lydgate, and is preserved in the Bodleian Library of Oxford University (Laud, K. 76, f. 1, MSS. Bibi. Bodi. C~d. Memb.) there occurs this reference to our ancestral hero:- Many speke of men that romaunces rede Of Bevys, Gy and Gawayne Of Kyng Rychard and Owayne, Of Tristram and Percyvale, Of Rowland ris and Aglavaule, 0£ Archeroun, and of Octavian, Of I 'harles, and of Cassibedlan, Of K(H)eveloke, Horne, and of Wade, In romaunces that of hem bi made That gestours dos of him gestes At mangeres and at great festes Here dedis ben in remembraunce In many fair romaunce (k). Sir Francis Kynaston, in his Latin translation of Chaucer's Troi'lus and Cresseide (London (1796), 8vo., p. xvi), adds in his commentary the following note :- " In his (Chaucer's) time there was a foolish fabulous legend of one Wade and his boate Guingelot, wherein he did ..... many strange things and had many wonderful! adventures, not much unlike that man and his boate in our time who layed a wager that never going out of his boate and without any other helpe but himsclfe, he would in a certaine number of days go by land and by water from Abingdon (Oxfordshire) to London, and in his passage would go over the top of a square steepel by the way, which thing he performed, and woune his wager."

Then Kynaston, having quoted the passages in Chaucer and Lydgate relating to Wade and the notes of Speght ;md Tyrwhitt on the same subject, is followed by Joseph Ritson in his Ancient English Metn'cal Romances (1803), \Toi. III, pp. 265 and 266, who says:- "He (Wade) is suspected to have been either a Scot or a Pict, and to have been the chief or leader in an irruption through the Roman Wall; in which was a chasm known, in old time, by the name of TV,zde,gapp (I). (That there was such a place, we find from the Roll of Escheats of 10 Elizabeth (A.D. 1568) wherein occurs this entry :- " Robertus Thurlwall fuit seisitus de et in manerio de Thurlwall, Lowbyre, le Hill, Chappel, Wade's Gapp, Cruke, \Vardhaw-hill, Shawfielcl, Dirt-house, Over-hill, Brow­ houses, Brunt-Walls, Holly-house, cum terris in Hexham, Estree, Newbrugh, Haltwesel, Byddlesse, et"Blind-gapp.") Conybeare, in his illustrations o/ Anglo-Saxon Poehy (1826, 8vo., p. lxxviii), says:- "Chaucer enumerates the adventures of Wade and his boat, a fiction also of the same school (see Vi'/kz'na Saga), among the romances of ·price; so that we have probably lost a Saxon poem on this subject." Sir Walter Scott (Szr Ji-t'stem; a metrical romance of the thzdeenth century; qy Thomas o/ Erc1ldoune, calied the RhJ1mer. (Edited from the Auchinleck MS., 1804, 8vo., p. !xi; Edinboro edition, 1819, p. !xiii,) thus refers to the matter:- "The romance of Wade, twice alluded tQ by Chaucer, but now lost, was probably a Border composition. The castle of this hero stood near the Roman Wall, which he is supposed to have surmounted; and it was long inhabited by his real or fancied descendants. It is absurd to suppose that the Norman minstrels came into these remote corners of the kingdom to collect or even celebrate the obscure traditions of their inhabitants ; although, finding them already versified, they might readily translate them in their own language." As to the question of a personal Wade and his nationality, we find th:i.t doctors differ, as Thomas Wright, the famous English anti­ quary, wrote to M. Francisque Michel as follows :- " All that Ritson and Scott say about Wade's being a Scotchman, and the

(l) See Wallis' History of Northumberland (1769), 4to., Vol. II, p. 3, note e, ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF WADE. romance having originated on the Border, is great nc .,;ense. The old Northern and Saxon romances existed in two different forms in England. First they were preserved in the romances of the mythic cycles, which romances were, according to the manner of their forefathers, long sung in the halls of the Saxon nobles. The subjects of these romances were perhaps many of them more popular in one tribe than another, and amongst the people of that tribe the tradition was more vivid. As these tribes settled in different parts of England they brought these traditions with them, and, as doubtlessly in the country whence they came these tradi­ tions were located in particular positions, so when in their new settlements in England the mind of the people among whom any particular tradition was popular, which naturally preserves its traditions by local associations, soon regarded the old stories as referring to the places and objects which were every day before their eyes, and there sprung up Wade's castles and Wade's gaps, and the Hke. The romances are, unfortunately, in most cases lost; bnt the names which popular tradition had given to places and things remain, while even the traditions themselves are but faintly remembered; and hence people have been often led into the error of making Scotch· and English heroes of a compara­ tively modem elate out of names which have reference to the earliest period of Teutonic Mythology." Thus, we see, vVright, who is a standard authority on the Saxon era, is of the opinion that all tradition of Wade is of the earliest Teutonic origin; in other words, that he is identical with Wada, the father of Weiand, so famed in the folk-lore of Scandanavia and Germany. Weiand, be it said, was the most_famous of smiths and all good ;;words are his work. It is curious also that the Wilkz"na Saga makes Weiand the constructor of a wondrous boat, so that tradition may have transferred the art of the son to the father. How widespread was the name, or at least the tradition of Wade's exploits, may be gathered from the fact that legendary Japanese history mentions a celebrated general and noted archer, fVada rosh1non by name, who served under Yoritomi in the 12th century. It is remarkable also that Carlyle, Heroes and Hero- fVorshzp, 30 THE w ADE GENEALOGY. probably supplies us with the solution of the whole difficulty as i:o the derivation of the surname Wade, and in so doing coincides with Thomas Wright. He says :- " The word Wuotan which is . the original form of Odin, a word spread, as the name of their chief divinity, over all the Teutonic nations everywhere; this word, which connects itself, according to Grimm with the Latin vt1dere, with the English Wade, and such like, means primarily, movement, source of movement, power." But let the iconoclast have a say. Writing over the initials H. C. K., in Notes and Queries, June 26, 1858, an unknown critic thus summarily would dispose of the original Wade. He says:- " Wade's bole. Tyrwhitt's note on this passage is amus­ ing. After lamenting Speght's want of copiousness, he is of the opinion that 'the allusion in the present passage to Wade's bote can hardly be explained without a more particular account of his adventures than we are likely ever to attain.' The meaning of the passage in modern English is, that January, the hero of the tale, is as much afraid of widows as Mr. Weller, senior, and for much the same reason, viz., " They connen so moch craft" in cases of breach of promise of marriage! "Wacle's bote " is simply the forfeit of a pledge-our English term, wed, comes to us from the Teutonic. Schilter (Gloss. Teut.) gives welt, pignus, Ang.-Sax. pactum, speciatim pactum sponsalitium. The old Germans had wad. This Anglo-Saxon wed or wedd is a promise, pledge, or earnest, from weddian, to bargain, make a vow or contract, to wed, or betroth. As wed then indicates the con­ tract before marriage, so bole is the forfeit or reparation for the breaking thereof. Hence we have the Anglo-Saxon bot, compen­ sation paid to an injured party, boot, recompense, amends, whence, lo bote,-to boot, with advantage. Thus " Wade's bole," instead of being an illusion to a legendary tale of Wade, his bote is noth­ ing more than damages paid for breach of promise of marriage. Part of the phrase, " wade," is again used by Chaucer, J}·oilus and Cressez'de III, 615, where the meaning is evidently a tale of love­ making or espousals.'' How this erudite (?) iconoclast would explain the meaning of passages such as "and Wade dede also" and "as wight as Wade" in catalogues of the famous heroes of romance is a riddle ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF WADE. 31 more inscrutable than the face of the Sphinx. Perhaps he would have a solution similar to the above for such names as Lancelot du Lac, Guy of Warwick and Richard Coeur de Lion! One thing seems certain; that is, as early as A. D., 798, there were one or more famous Anglo-Saxon chiefs named Wade. On this point we have the following testimony. Matthew of West­ minster, in his Flores Historiarum ( edition of 1601, folio, p. 151, line 11), tells us that "about the same time (i. e., A. D. 798,) Eardulfus, King of the Northumbrians, met in battle at a place called Billingeho (now Langbo Fell) with Wade, the leader, and certain of his fellow conspirators." The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, under the date 798, says:- "This year there was a great fight at Hwelleage (Whalley), in the land of the Northumbrians, during Lent, on the 4th before the Nones of April, and there Alric, the son of Herbert, was slain, and many others with him." Roger of Hovenden (p. 406, line 2,) is exact as to date, and states that Duke Wade led the revolt in 798; that the battle occurred at Billingahon juxta Wallalege (i. e., Langbo Fell, near Whalley in Lancashire), and that Wade and his fellow conspira­ tors were defeated and forced to flee. Simeon c;if Durham has the following reference to this battle :­ " A. D. 798. A c~nspiracy having been organised by the murder­ ers of Ethelred the King, Wada, the chief of that conspiracy, commenced a war against Eardulph, and fought a battle at a place called by the English Billangahoh, near Walalega, and, after many had fallen on both sides, Wada and his army was totally routed." Apparently he deals with a more southern Saxon leader of the same name in speaking of a battle in 854 between Earl Ealchere and Duke Wade on the one side and the pagans on the other, as he locates the battle in the Isle of Thanet, in Kent (see Simeom's Dune/menst's Hz'storia, col. 140, line 1). This same Wade is called Huda by the historian, Florence of Worcester (Edition of 1601, p. 583, line 12). Further references· to Duke Wada appear in Camden's Britan­ nia (1695) (!), wherein, after describing an Abbey founded by (/) For references to Wade see Camden's Britannia, Gough's edition, Vol. III, p. 18; col. 1, p. So, col. 2; p. 252, col. 1, and p. 245, col. 2, 32 THE WADE GENEALOGY.

Hilda, near Whitby, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, the author goes on to state that " hard by upon a steep hill near the sea (which yet is between two that are much higher) a cast~ of Wada, a Saxon duke, is said to have stood, who (in the confused disor­ derly times of the Northumbrians so fatal to petty princes), hav­ ing combined with those that murdered King Ethelred, gave bat­ tle to King Ardulph at Whalley, in Lancashire, but with such ill fortune that his army was routed and himself forced to fly for it. Afterwards he fell in a distemper, which killed him, and was interred on a hill between two hard stones abmit seven feet high, which being at twelve feet distance from one another, occa.sions a current report that he was a gyant in bulk and stature." Camden makes the following marginal note:- "Duke Wada, from whom the family of Wade derive their pedigree-the year 798-Wade's grave." Camden also refers to Wade when describing Whalley, in Lan­ cashire, as follows:- "Here in year 798 Duke Wada unfortu­ nately engaged Ardulph, King of the Northmnbrians, at Bil­ langbo, now by contraction Langbo." And again in reference to Thirlwall Castle, Northumberland, he says:- "Near this stands Thirlwall Castle (no large structure), which gave a seat and sir­ name . to that ancient and honorable family the Thirlwalls (111) which had formerly the name of Wade." The author of "Pendle Hill in History and L11erature," thus refers to the Revolt of Wada:-" Dr. Whitaker, the prince of local historians, Mr. Charles Hardwick, and other chiefs of the Archaeo­ logical fraternity, amongst whom we must not forget to mention Canon Raines, have devoted with commendable patience, time, energy and money to mapping out the scene of a great conflict which undoubtedly, once upon a time took place on the flank of Langbo Fell. The Tumuli which are always conspicuous features of these very early battle fields, are much in evidence on this particular site. Canon Raines in one of his works published for

(m) As to the Thirlwalls of Thirlwall in Northumberland, see Geneal­ ogist ii, 253, and Hodgson' s 1Vorthumberland III, ii, 145, They bore for arms a chevron between three boars' heads erased, and it is remarkable that this boars· head charge appears on the coat of arms of Max•millian Wade (of London, from county of Dorset), allowed at the Visilation of London in 1633-.i. (See post, chapter II.) ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF WADE. 33 the Chetham Society tells us that "In the year 1836 as Thomas Hubbersley, the farmer at Brockhall, was removing a large mound of earth in Brockhall Eavis, about 500 yards from the bank of the Ribble, on the edge of the road leading from the House, he discovered a· Kist-vaen ( or tomb) formed of rude stones contain­ ing some human bones and the rusty remains of some spear heads of iron. The whole crumbled to dust on exposure to the air. Tradition has uniformly recorded that a battle was fought about Langbo, Elker and Buckfoot near the river Ribble. But what about the battle· that took place here? We have a far richer treasury of information on this point than we usually are fortunate enough to possess in relation to such matters. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle under the date 798 records, "This year there was a great fight at Hwelleage (which is understood to be Whalley in the land of the Northumbrians) during Lent, on the 4th before the Nones of April, and there Alric, the son of Herbert, was slain and many of those with him." Simeon of Durham under the same date says that "a conspiracy having been organized by the, murderers of Ethelred the King, Wada, the chief of the conspiracy,. commenced a war against Eardulph. and fought a battle at a place called by the English Billangahoh near Walalega, and after many had fallen on both sides Wada and his army were totally routed." At the time when this great conflict took place the north of England must have been in a most miserable state. The lead­ ing spirit in this great battle , was a certain Wada and certainly there is some ground in the name itself for giving special interest ' . to this great struggle which took place in the later Saxon times at the foot of Pendle. We have already referred to the village of Waddington; and the enthusiasts of the Kemble school of Saxon etymology will have it that Waddington means simply the settle­ ment or town or home of Wada, so that they establish immediately an inferential connection between the revolted chieftain who with­ stood his king at Billangahoh, and this village of Waddington at the very foot of Pendle. In confirmation of this theory they also point with a good deal of reason to the neighboring village Waddow as meaning the howe or the hill of Wada. But notwithstanding infinite pains in research nobody has yet been able to give us any satisfactory account of who Wada .34 THE WADE GENEALOGY • himself was. Of course it will be remembered that we have our­ 'Selves adventured the opinion that Waddow and Waddington in­ :stead of having any connection whatever with any in~ividual chief, ·owe their names in reality to the adoration once offered at or near them to the old deity Woden. Mr. Charles Hardwick in his monograph, Some Ancient Battlefields m Lancashire, &c., (1882), pp. 130-147, has certainly shown most commendable in­ dustry in collecting together a museum of references to personages or creatures of the imagination, who once rejoiced in the name of Wada. We are told that a chief so called is mentioned- in the Anglo-Saxon poem called The Traveler's Tale as being one of the chiefs of the Haelsings; and we are reminded that Mr. Haigh, in his Anglo-Saxon Sagas regards him as probably one of the com­ panions of the first Hengist. From this Mr. Hardwick infers that the Wada of Waddow and Waddington and the hero of the battle of Langbo, was a descendant of this prehistoric adventurer. Then again we are told that amongst the heroes of heathen tradition · Wada is celebrated in ways that have still left their trace in Eng­ land. One of the marvels attributed to him in the anc~ent myths is that he waded across an arm of the sea carrying his son on his shoulder. Mr. Kemble certainly seems to find some remote ref­ erence to this particular legend when he recalls that .Chaucer once or twice refers to "Wade's boat" in such a way as to show that the expression was used in an obscene sense; but then it is the common fate of those who are heroes and demi-gods in one age to be regarded as laughing stocks in periods of later time. The good fortune of King Eardulph deserted him on a future occasion. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle says 'A. D. 806-This year the moon was eclipsed in the Kalends of September and Eardulph, King of the Northumbrians, was driven from his kingdom.' This is the last we hear, says Mr. Hardwick, of the victor of Billangahoh; and the manner of his exit from the historic stage would seem to indicate that his rule like that of his predecessor had become so intolerable that further revolts ensued and that Wada's sucessors, whoever they may have been, being successful in their contumacy, would be regarded not as traitors, but as saviours of their country. Truly in struggles of this character successful rebels writing their own history are ever lauded as heroes or patriots, while discom- ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF WADE. 35 fited rulers are with equal verity denounced as tyrants and enemies of the common weal. After a minute examination of every detail still observable Mr. Hardwick comes to the conclu­ sion that Wada and his allies on leaving Waddington crossed the Hodder at the ford nearest its mouth, met the king's army on the banks of the Ribble and the possession of Bullasey was the immediate object of the encounter in which the rebellious chieftain was discomfited; or the route may have been reversed; Wada may have crossed the Ribble at Bungerley " hipping stones " to the northwest of Clitheroe, and after penetrating the northern por­ tion of the present county had to fall back before the advance of the King's army and, unable to retrace his steps, made for the nearest ford at Bulla:sey where he was p1,1rsued and defeated across the river." Mr. Kemble (Saxons 211 England) says:- "Among the heroes of heathen tradition are Wada, Weiand and Eigil. All three so celebrated in the myths and epos of Scandinavia and Germany, have left traces in England. Of Wada, the Traveler's Song declared that he ruled the Haelsings; and even later times had t

The stones of Weyland's Smithy still recall the days when the new settlers told one another, on the conquered ground, the won­ drous tale they had brought with them from their German home, the tale of the godlike smith, Weland, who forged the arms that none could blunt or break; just as they told around Wadanbury and Wadanhlaew the strange tale of Wade and his boat. When men christened mere and tree with Scyld's name, at Scyldsmere and Styldstreow, they must have been familiar with the story of the godlike child who came over the waters to found the royal line of the Gwissas. So a name like Hnaef's-scylf was then a living ~rt of English mythology; and a name like Aylesbury may preserve the last trace of the legend told of Weland's brother, the sun­ archer, Egil." Leland, in his Itinerary (Vol. 1, p. 59), speaking of Mulgrave Castle, near Scarborough in Yorkshire, says :- " Mougreve cas­ telle stondish upon a craggy hille ; and on ech side of it is an hille far higher then that whereon the castelle stondish. The north hille on the toppe of it hath certen stones communely caullid Wadde's Grave (n), whom the people there say to have bene a gigant and ouner of Mougreve." _ Hinderwell, in his Hz'slory and Antz'quz'tz'es of Scarborough, York­ shzi-e (2nd Edition 18II, pages 18 and 19), thus refers to another instance of the folk-story of Wade:- " What makes it, (the village of Dunsley), more considerable is a Roman road which leads from it, many miles over these vast moors and morasses towards York. This extraordinary road, at present disused, is called by the country people Wade's Causey (i. e., Causeway), concerning which they relate a ridiculous tradi­ tional story of Wade's wife and her cow (a). It is, however,

(n) Dr. Young's History of vVhitby, Yorkshire (1817), says Wade liv0d within four miles of Whitby. See also Charlton's Whitby, p. 40.•

(o) The fabulous history is, that ·wade had a cow, which his wife was obliged to milk at a great distance, on these moors, and for her better convenience he made this causeway, and she helped him by bringing great quantities of stones in her apron: but the strings breaking once with the weight, as well they might, a huge heap (about twenty cart loads) is shown that dropped from her, and the supposed rib of his monstrous cow is still shown to such as visit Mulgrave Castle. A local author conceives this rib to be the bone of a whale, but ad,nits that the common people are still infatuated with the ancient opinion. ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF WADE. 37 worthy of observation, that this name accords with Camden's Saxon duke Wada, who, he says, lived at a castle on these coasts, and probably in the deserted Roman fortress or station. Two stones, about seven feet high, and placed at twelve feet distance, are called Wade's Grave, as they believe that this Saxon prince was a giant. These stones are, probably, ancient sepulchral monuments." How widespread was this tradition of Wade and how scattered and numerous were his descendants, and this at a very early date appears from the Doomsday Survey. In its quaint characters we find Wade as the name of a tenant in paravail, probably a Saxon, holding land before the survey. Wado, Wadolo, Wadel, Wadellus and Wadele are also names recorded in the survey. Wadellus held land near Wadefaste and Wadesbridge, in North Cornwall. But as place-names the principal usage of Wade appears. There is a Deepwade Hundred in Norfolk and has been from Dooms­ day to this day. We find Wad in Gerlestre Wapentake in the West Riding of Yorkshire, a Wadberge in Clent Hur.dred, of the county of Worcester; two Wades in the West Riding of York and three instances in Lincolnshire. There is a Wadeham in Devonshire, a Wadescel in Derbyshire, a Wadingham in Lincoln­ shire, a Wadefeste in Cornwall and Wadetuna (now Watton) and Wade's Beck Bridge, near Thursford, in the county of Norfolk. The county of Kent had several instances. There is a parish near the Isle of Sheppey once called I wade, but now called Warde. Wadeslade is a manor in the parish of Chatham; Waden­ hall and Wadling are manors in the parishes of Waltha{ll and Rip­ ple respectively. There is a parish of Landwade in the county of Cambridge, while Biggleswade (P) in Bedfordshire, Lasswade (q) in Scotland, and Wade in the North Island of New Zealand, con­ vince us that the Wades wandered from Dan to Beersheba and left their marks on the land in place-names. (jJ) Biggleswade = Biggie's ford, over the river Ivel, now replaced by a stone bridge. Wath (as wat) a shallow wading place. (q) Between five and six miles from Edinburgh, lies a small village, scarcely more than a hamlet, consisting now of only a few old houses, thatched with peat; a blacksmith's forge, and humble, little chapel, it is yet on the high road from Edinburgh to the east. . I was impressed with its odd sounding name to inquire of our THE WADE GENEALOGY.

He told me the fol­ lowing quaint tradition: About a century-and a half ago the only means of fording the stream was either by one's individual exertions in the matter of leaping from stone to stone, or by the equally primi­ tive method of being carried bodily. A ferry of -even the rudest description was unknown. When desirous of crossing by other than the first means mentioned it was the custom of the inhabitants to station themselves at the water's edge and halloo "Lass wade!" In response to this salutation, a stalwart-looking lassie would step forward, and, hoisting the intend­ ing passenger upon her shoulders, wade through the tumbling waters. On depositing her burden on the other side, she received her two­ pence toll and waded back again. And so it was that the little settle­ ment came in time to be known as "Lasswade." ·• The Legend of Lasswade." Current Lite1·ature, Jan., 1898. (r) Called Wodesdon in a charter of 37 Hen. VI.

(u) Wadesmill stands on the ancient Roman road, the Erming Street (soldier's road), and may be derived from the Latin vadum, strictly a ford or shallow place, and possibly as derived from vadere, to go, meaning a road or way. In a letter (preserved in the British Museum) under date Standon, August 22, 1465, Alderman Field, of London, speaks of this hamlet as '' Walysmyll ;" but it is memorable that upon a small brass in the nearby church of Standon, dated Sept. 15, 1557, and erected to Guy Wade, a reference to the name is made in the open­ ing words:- Thy lymes (limbs), 0 Wade, yt lately death hath slaine Under this stone entered here remaine, etc. (The will of Guy Wad~_Esquire, of London and Standon, Herts, is provectin VoT.40,~egister Wrastley; ofThePrerogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury.) A Rev. John Wade was Vicar of Standon from October 21, 1670, to 1719, and a Rev. William Wade filled the same office from his predecessor's death in 1719 until his own decease in 1728.

Wade (see post Chapter V.) 42 THE WADE GENEALOGY.

A final word as to the Welsh and Irish families of the name. One thing is certain ar,d that is that the name Wade is essentially of Teutonic or Scandinavian origin. It is neither Erse nor Celtic and therefore is not autochthonal in the principality of Wales or the. kingdom of Ireland. That Wades mvade.d the principality of Wales with the early English kings is as certain as the fact that one of the family was at the battle of Flodden Field. That they early settled there appears from numerous early records. As to Ireland, the records disclose a Captain Wade there under Cromwell and Samuel Wade Sr. and Samuel Wade Jr. as officers of the army in 1649. Sir William Waad, (died 1623), was Superintendent of the soldiery in Ireland and Bryan Wade, Henry Wade, Samuel Wade and Major William Wade are recorded as redpients of extensive grants of Irish lands in Cork, Kerry, Meath, Tipperary, Limerick, Waterford and Kings Counties at an early date. In 1702 Richard Wade, Charles Wade, and John Wade are mentioned as land owners. The alleged Scythian origin of the Saxons may explain the frequent use of a form of the name as a place name such as Wady Haifa, Wadai, Wadan, and Wadelai in· Africa. The Saxon occupancy accounts for Waadt (the German name for the Canton Vaud in Switzerland); Wadensmil in Canton Zurich, and Wadersloh in Westphalia. Wadasima is a port in" Japan, Wadden in Friesland (Netherlands) in ap old map in the British Museum is called Vada vulgo Wadden; Wadet Thana is a district in Bombay· Presidency, India. Wadi Arabah is in Palestine and Waidhofen in Austria. So much, therefore, for the origin and etymology of our sur-"' name. Well indeed can it be said that our ancestors have made for us "a local habitation and a name."

CHAPTER IL

THE ANTIQUITY OF THE FAMILY OF WADE- ENGLISH PEDIGREES

AND SOME FAMOUS WADES.

To trace the Wade ancestral tree To the very root of the pedigree, Were a task as rash as ridiculous, Through antediluvian mists as thick As a London fog such a line to pick, Were enough, in truth to puzzle Old Nick, Not to name Sir Harris Nicholas. (o) It wouldn't exhaust all the art heralds shewed in Their old Visitations, to trace Wade to Woden, But waiving all such digressions, Suffice it, according to family lore, A patriarch ·wade there lived of yore, Who was famed for his great possessions. Tradition said he feathered his nest Through an Agricultural Interest, In the Golden Age of Farming; When golden eggs were laid by the geese And Colchian sheep wore a golden fleece And golden pippins - the sterlmg kind, Of Hesperus-now so rare to find­ Made Horticulture quite chafming ! ' (With apologies to the shade of Thomas Hood.) " In the afternoon of time A strenuous family dusted from its hands The sand of granite, and beholding far Along the sounding coast its pyramids And tall memorials catch the dying sun, . Smiled well content, and lo this ehildish task Around the fire addressed its evening hours." R. L. Stevenson-Skerryvore. The antiquity of the Wade Family has been, it would seem, sufficiently demonstrated in the preceding chapter. Instances of the name occurring in English records are numerous even before the Norman Conquest of 1066. From that date record after

(o). Sir Nicholas Harris Nicholas, (1799-1848), a famous genealogist and antiquary. (43) 44 THE WADE GENEALOGY. record reveals the deeds and honors, and occasionally, the slip from grace, of the early Wades. Perhaps one of the earliest instances of the name is to be found in The Codex Diplomalicus Anglo-Saxonica (Kemble), published by the Historical Society of England, wherein, folio 493, we find the name "Wade hwaede" as Viscount or sheriff of the county of War­ wick, at a very early date. An antiquary renders " hwaede " as " the gentle, " a misnomer surely for a sheriff, in the days when death was the punish,ment for nearly every crime, and the sheriff the sworn officer to execute the barbarities of a Draconian code. There is an early and notable instance of a kindred name. Ralph Wader was Earl of Norfolk, and flourished about 1070. He was the son of Ralph the Staller. William of Malmesbury says he was a Breton, probably from the fact that his wife was a native of Brit­ tany and heiress of the castles of Wader and Montfort in that country. Ralph is a strange name for a Saxon but his brnther was named Godwine. Both were almost undoubtedly of English birth. Ralph rebelled against William the Conqueror, turned Crusader and died on the road to Jerusalem before July, 1098. (See Dic­ tionary o.f l{ational Biography, vol. 23. p. 314). That one of the ear', Wades was fortunate in placing his trust in princes, appears from the publications of The Record Society, wherein we find that John Wade was chaplain to Henry I., King of England, (1100- 1135). Less happy was the lot of Godwin Wade, who in the Pipe Rolls of the twelfth year of the reign of King Henry IL (II66) is recorded as a fugitive from justice. In the rolls of this period also occur the names of Wilhelm us, Juliana, Henricus, and Galfrid­ us Wade. Madox in his folio Antiquities o.f the Exchequer (17II), page 386, refers to a ~ic.h!l:~Me as early as the seventh year of the reign of King Richard I. ( 1 196), and in the feet of Fines for the county vL Norfolk for the second year of King John, (1200), we find the suit of William de Eboraco (York) and Matilda his wife, against William, son of Anketill and Thieda his wife, and William Wade and Alveva his wife. The suit related to lands in Lynn in ti i county of Norfolk, and the extract is of considerable interest when it is remembered that the Massachusetts Wades, came from Denver, not far from Lynn. (See Chapter III post). As the years roll on, the records of England bear more names FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES. 45 of Wade. An early deed of the thirteenth century discloses the fact that Cecilia Wade, late the wife of William Wade, of Welyn­ tone, (Wellington) conveyed to Alan Wade and Alice his wife, cer­ tain land in the common field of Welyntone, part adjoining the path leading from Overwardyne towards le Lydegate and part in Bereyr, in the county of Hereford. One Alfredus Wade is entered on the records of the feet of Fines in 1204, and a Henry de la Wade in 1225 .. John Wade was a bailiff of London in 1230 and Nicholaus Wade conveys land in 1239. In 1241 Henry de la Wade sued William Amyot for two and a half virgates of land in Norton in the county of Oxford, as his right in the estate of which Henry de la Wade, his father died seized in the time of King John, (i. e. 1199-1216). The inquisitions post mortem of 36 Henry III. (1252) disclose the death of one Johannes Wade, possessed of lands at Haveringe and Renham (? Raynham) in the county of Essex. Haveringe, or more correctly, Havering-atte-Bower was a favorite suburban residence of Edward the Confessor, King of England, and the ruins of his castle there are still visible. English records, under date of 51 Henry III. (1267), refer to one Magister Henricus Wade as holding lands direct of the king, and the title Magister (Sir) is indicative of considerable social prominence in those early days. We find that his wife was the daughter of Wilhelmus le Vein, and had been, before her mar­ riage to Henricus Wade, the wife and widow of Simon Jurdan. In this same year an Inquisition post mortem records the death of Henry Wade, holding lands·in Cocham (Cosham) and Br.ye, in the county of Berkshire. This Bray, it may be interesting to remark, is the village famous for its time-serving Vicar. One John de la Wade was living and in litigation in 1272 (the first year of the reign of Edward I.,) and one Henry Wade was, according to Madox's Antz'quitz'es o.f the Exchequer (p. 591), the com­ mittee of the manor of Selveston, in this same year, but before the death of Henry III. In 1280, John Wade junior, of Wytton in Norfolk, was defendant to a plea concerning lands in that county, while Blount's Tenures is the authority for the statement that in this year, (Pleas of the Crown, 8 Edw. I., roll 26, back), one Rowland de Arley and one Henry Wade held the moiety of acer­ tain serjeanty in Cosham, in the county of Southampton, by find- THE WADE GENEALOGY, ing a certain footman to keep the Castle of Porchester, in time of war, for forty days, at their own proper costs. This was the time of military tenures, when feudalism waxed and the race of robber barons flourished. The tenures and services varied, as in 128 5 we find from Blount and the Pleas of the Crown that " Henry de la Wade held ten pounds of land in Staunton, in the county of Oxford, by the ~erjeanty of carrying a gerfalcon every year hefore our lord the king, whenever he shall please to hunt with such falcon, at the cost of the said lord the king." Widespread and numerous indeed was this ancient and lusty family, as from the De Banco roll 64, of 14Edward I. (1286), we find that Robert Wade and Isabel, his wife, were defendants to a plea relating to lands in the county of York. As early as this same year, one John Wade attained a high dignity as sheriff of London, and in the following year an inquisition post mortem reveals the death of Henry de la Wade, holding lands in Bletches­ don and Staunton, in the county of Oxford. This was probably the man who had to find the gerfalcon for the king's hawking parties, and a word or two as to the nature and necessity for these inquisitions post mortem may here be in order. From the time of the Norman Conquest of 1066 down to the date in the reign of Charles IL, when feudal tenures were abol­ ished, all land in England, with few and unimportant exceptions, was held by the tenure of knight service, military in all its inci­ dents. Thus the Conquerer granted a whole county to one of his barons, on condition that he found so many horse and foot sol­ diers, in case of war or on de1nand. The baron subinfeudated or divided the land among his own retainers on like conditions. Then when a tenant died it became of interest and necessity to the lord t0 .aquire who was the heir and from whom the military services were due. For this purpose an inquisition post mortem was held. This particular inquisition found " that Johannes de la _Wade, son and heir of the said Henry de la Wade, was his next heir, and was of full age and ability to render the said service. ' There is an early will preserved in the Court of the Hustings in the city of London, and dated about 1297, which shows that one of the Wade family was a landowner in London at this date. By FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES. 47 his will, John de Cudington devised to his son-in-law Robert de Piphearst · and Juliana, his wife, a tenement at Garlickhithe (P) subject to an annual rent charge of four shillings (about one dollar) in favor of John Wade, his heirs and assigns. But Fortune, the fickle jade, changed for the Wades, as in 1298 one John dr la Wade, who had been sheriff of Lincolnshire, fell upon evil days and into the clutches of the law of which he had been the executive officer. Madox's Exchequer Antiquities records his re­ moval from the Marshalsea prison to the Fleet prison, but tells us neither of his offence nor his fate. He may have been a primeval '' boodler," but far more prob~bly had failed to arrest some one who had offended the king. An inquisition ad quod Jamnum of 31 Edward I. (1303), tells us of John, son of Henry Wade, and an inquisition post mortem of the same year discloses the death of a Johannes Wade possessed of land at Cosham, near Wymerynge, in the county of Southampton, and Claydon in-the county of Buckingham. A will of John Wade, preserved in the Court of the Hustings of the City of London and of the date of 1307, devises to the testator's brother Adam Wade, a tenement in the parish of St. James, Garlickhithe (P), in the city of London; to Alice, his sister, a brewhouse in the parish of St. Michael le Queenhithe for life, with remainder to pious uses ; and me11tions Cecilia Wade, the testator's deceased sister and her daughter Matilda. Royal favor seems _to have smiled on one Adam Wade as early as 1307, as we find him providing the urn for the coronation of King Edward II. in that year. In 1309, an inquisition post mor­ tem finds the death of one John Wade, possessed of estates in Ox­ fordshire, Berkshire, and Buckinghamshire, leaving his brother, Henry Wade, of the age of 30 years and more, as his heir. A curious will of Adam Wade of London, dated about 1310, and preserved in the Court of the Hustings of the City of London, is probably that of the worthy city tradesman who assisted at Ed­ ward II.'s coronation. It devises rents and stores called "Helle" in Fleet Street and others in Holbornestreete and at le Queenhithe, with two quarries in the viii of Hensley upon trust for sale, makes

THE WADE GENEALOGY. bequests in favor of Christiana his wife and mentions Adam de Bandone, testator's nephew; his sister Alice; and leaves one mark for the work on London Bridge. It was an early Wade who went to the wars with the Scots, as the Parliamentary writs of 4 Edward II. return a certain Richard Wade as one of the serviente!; performing military service due from the Bishop of Worcester, and as such, present at a muster and array at Tweedmouth on September 18, 1311. The inquisi­ tions post mortem of the following year disclose Juliana, the wife of John Wade, and, in right of her. dower, possessing in Claydon, Bnckinghamshire, a messuage and twenty-five acres of land. Thomas Wade is returned in the Parliamentary writs of 6 Edward II. (1313) as manucaptor (q) of Hugo le Blund, knight of the shire (member of Parliament), returned for Berkshire, and in 1316 (9 Edw. II.) one Richard Wade suffered an escheatment of his lands in Fresselay, Calverlay and Fairley in the county of York. As to Calverlay, attention is drawn to the pedigree of Wade of King Cross, prit ·.ed later, this Richard being possibly a remote ancestor of this family, and being also, and as probably, the man who is recorded on the Parliamentary writs for this year as the lord of the township of Fairley in the same county of York. A certain Roger Wade is returned in 1322 as one of the manu­ captors of Petrus Dewerey, knight of the shire returned for South­ ampton, and the Boroughbridge Roll of Arms gives us the name of Sire Robert de Wadeville as fighting at the battle of Borough­ bridge on March 16, 1322. He bore for arms: Argent, three chevrons, between a bordure, sable, and thus early we get the first instance of coat armor appertaining to the Wades. In 13 2 5 one Adam Wade was defendant to a plea of trespass, in the county of Lancaster (Coram Rege Rolls, Michaelmas, 18 Edw. II.), and in the followinl?; year, 1326, a certain Thomas Wade, of Kenton and Soham, this latt'"r place in Cambridgeshire attended the muster and array o~ the Hundred of Loos in the county of Suffolk, next after the feast of St. George (24 April, 19 EdwardU.).

A family tradition of the Cornish Wades asserts a lineal descent ✓ from the patriarch Job (!), and however true or fictitious this may be .the Subsidy Rolls for the County record a William Wade as early as 1327 in the parish of Saint Advent, Deanery of Trigg Minor, Cornwall,' A certain Th<;>mas Wade, of Fyffelde in the county of Northamp­ ton, appears from quo warranto proceedings in 1330, (3 Edw. III.) THE WADE GENEALOGY. to have been seized of a messuage and one acre of land there, in the right of his wife, Agatha, daughter of Elena Hobbs of Fyffelde, and his son Richard Wade, sued Emma, the daughter of Philip Alleyn de Fyffelde, to recover possession of this property. The records of 1331 disclose Alicia vVade, Robert Wade, and Henry Wade as plaintiffs in certain quo warranto proceedings at the Derby Assize of that year (4 Edw. III) and the will of Emma, wife of William Payntot, of Esingwald (Easingwold, Yorkshire), dated in 1346, contains a bequest of sixpence to Walter Wade. We find John Wade, a priest, presented by Lord Robert de Tif­ ford, of Hacunby in the county of Lincoln, to the church of Ha­ cunby in 1347, (Chancery Files, 329). In 1349, a plaintiff in a suit to recover lands at Weldon, in the county of Oxford, pro­ pounded a pedigree commencing with one Henry de la Wade as the common ancestor, living in the time of Henry III. (i.e. 12 16- 1272 ). A William Wade of Hermodesworth and Alice his Fife, were parties to a fine of lands at Colham in the county of Middle­ sex in 1351, in November 1352; one Robert Wade of Sempyngham in the county of Lincoln, was presented to the vicarage of Norton Disney in the same county, by the Master of the Temple, and in 24 and 25 Edward III. (1351-2) William Wade was one of the de­ fendants in a fine levied as to lands at Adderley in Shropshire. There were other Wades of the tonsure ud black robe in these days, as the inquisitions post mortem tell us of a -Johannes Wade, a chaplain or chantry priest, in the county of Rutland in 3 1 Ed­ ward III. (1358), and the same class of records reveal a William Wade in 1365 as possessing the manor of Glarton in Lincolnshire, of which in 13 7 7, Margareta, his wife, suffered an escheatment. One John Wade, Canon of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, is mentioned in the rolls of 32 Edw. III. (1359), and another of the same name was basking in the favor of the king in 13 7 1, as the Ex­ chequer Roll shows him as receiving a pension of two pence daily, no inconsiderable sum in those days. Nor was he alone of the king's household, as a Robert Wade appears on the same roll as the king's carter and one Gilbert Wade as the king's yalet. We turn again to the wills preserved in the Court of the Hust­ ings of the city of London, to find in the will of Her-y Hale, a fishmonger, dated in 137 5, that he mentfons his appreritice, John FAMOUS ENGLISH \VADES.

Wade, while the will of John Blakenyr, another and contemporary fishmonger, bequeaths to John Wade, fishmonger, " my best sword and bokeler (buckler) covered with plates of silver." One John Wade was clerk to John Clervaus, Archdeacon of Suffolk, whose will is dated in 1383, and an ancient deed pre­ served in l:he English Public Record Office, shows that on May 8, 1386 (9 Richard II.), Thomas Catwy and Joan, his wife, demised or leased to John Wade of Harewell "their manor of Paynelis­ court in Barewoodscourt in the county of Berkshire, except the high chambers of the said manor, which were reserved for the lord and lady of the manor when they stayed there, and except the granary." In 1393, (16 Richard II), an inquisition post mortem records that a certain Johannes Wade and others, held lands in London

JOHN WADE, SHERIFF OF LONDON, for the Prior and Convent of Canterbury in Kent. An early Lin­ coln will of Richard de Tretton, proved at Lincoln, December 30, 1395, mentions a William Wade. Philip de Waude was presented to the vicarage of Edmonton in Middlesex in 1397, according to Lyson's Environs of London, III., 267, and Stow's Survey of London is authority for the fact that in 1398 (22 Richard II.), one John Wade, fishmonger, was one of the sheriffs of London with John Warnar. From The Arms of the Sheriffs and 1/fayors of London, we find that this early city official bore for his coat of arms, a saltire be­ tween fou(escallops, or. It is noteworthy how frequently the sal­ tire and escallops appear in the Wade coat of arms. (With the prefatory remark 'that no heraldic distinctions accord with our 52 THE WADE GENEALOGY. American and republican institutions, we saying, as Kipling's 7i-z,e Thomas said in his Last Rhymes : "And what should I make wi' blazon and belt, Wi' keep and tail and seizin and fee, And what should I do wi' page and squire That am a king in my own countrie ? Those interested in the subject may with advantage peruse the. article on Heraldry in the Encyclopcedia Britannica with some modern works, such as those by Boutell and Cussans. An indis­ putable descent from an armigerous family, must, in addition, be strictly that of an eldest son in every generation, in order to entitle the descendant to bear the family arms without a difference or mark of cadency. The coats of arms in this book have been care­ fully and exactly prepared by an able herald, who will be prepared to furnish hand-colored copies of any heraldic illustrations on moderate terms.) Lyson in his Environs of London, II, 23, refers under the manor of Haliwick, Friarn Barnet, to the fact that this manor in the lat­ ter part of the reign of Edward III. was the property of William Olneye, citizen of London. His wife Isabell afterward married John Wade, who died seized of it, 3 Hen. IV. (1402). Her son, John Olneye, was her heir. The will of John Wade, of Bristol, in the county of Somerset, dated in 1404, is in the Lambeth Registry (223 Register Arundell, p. 1.). Richard Wade, anniger, is mentioned in a grant of land near Barrow in Furness, Lancashire, under date March 17, 7 Hen. IV. (1406). The Exchequer Rolls tell of the good fortune of one Robert Wade in 5 Henry V (i.e. 1418), he being recorded as having married Coldship, called the Rose of Cooshithe, in London. One John Wade was the executor of the will of Ger­ ard Usflete, knight,_ of Yorkshire, which will was proved Septem­ ber 13, 1420, and ~n account of an arbitration of May 20, 1422, preserved in the Public Record Office, mentions one William. Wade as a warden of the· church of Sf. Margaret, Moysy (Moul­ esey ?), in Middlesex. It was possibly an early ancestor of the New Jersey Wades J (see post chapter IV.), one William Wade, chaplain, who on Sep­ tember 28, 1430, was a party to a bond of David Lewis, rector of FAMOUS ENGLISH \V ADES. 53 St. Fagan's in Wales, and the fact is interesting in relation to the family tradition of that branch of the Wades that their ancestors came from the Principality of Wales. If this be St. Fagan's in Glamorganshire, a reference to the map will shew its proximity to Tintagel and Bodmin, where an old family of Wades were set­ tled. An early will of Thomas Barree, rector of Ffylyngham, in the county of Lincoln, proved at Lincoln October 5, 1431, bears the name of an Edward \\Tade, as one of the attesting witnesses and the feet of Fines for the county of Cornwall for 18 Henry VI. · (1440), mention John Wade and Johanna, his wife, as interested in lands at Camelford and Tregewe in that county. (See hereon post). · We find from the will of Thomas RP,ek or Beck, once a Bishop of Lincoln, which will was dated Feb1 uary II, 1446, that a William Wade received a legacy of one hundred shillings in it. The Coram Rege Roll of 1448, refers to Walter Wade and his wife, Margena, and their daughter, Johanna, who became the wife of Nicholas Trenesh. They seem to have resided near Liskeard in the county -of Cornwall. Letters of Administration to the estate of Robert Wade of Al­ vely in the diocese of London, one of the yeomen of the crown, minister of the gospel), is mentioned in an early deed preserved in the Public Record Office, dated March 20, 1483, referring to lands in the county of Kent, while the Court of the Hustings of the City of London contains the will of one John Cowper, dated February 14, 1485, devising his tenement in the parish of Estchepe (Eastcheap) St. Leonard's, in London to William Wade, Master of the College of St. Gregory at Sudbury, in the county of Suffolk, and the brethren of this same monastery. One Lawrence Wade, who was professed as a Benedictine monk of Canterbury, England, in 1467, translated into English rhyme in I497, the life of Thomas a Becket, from the original by Herbert. ·Bosham, written in Latin about II8o. To the stranger in blood this enumeration of the early Wades and their deeds may possibly be about as interesting as a recital of 54 THE WADE GENEALOGY. the Homeric navy list, but to the bearers of the name it is sub­ mitted that no other method of treatment was possible in regard to the earlier, and necessarily fragmentary, instances from the Eng­ lish records. To attempt to connect these dzjjecta membra would require the assurance of that prince of pedigree-forgers, the late Major-General Plantagenet Harrison, once claimant to the throne of England on a pedigree of his own manufacture I On the other hand, to have omitted these deeds and honors of the early Wades would have been the representation of Hamlet with the melancholy Dane left out of the cast. These results, therefore, of some twenty years searching of records or favors from transatlantic correspondence are inserted thus. To l1ave omitted them would have been to have left unwritten one of the most interesting parts · of the book, from the genealogist's point of view. It seems that Wade was an early prototype of P. D. Armour, engaged in supplying the British army with food, for in Dasent's Acts o.f the Pn~y Council, under elate of February 1548, we find that Roger Wade was ordered to be paid £200 for providing but­ ter, cheese and bacon for the North. Another member of the family was less fortunate, for the same work informs us under date of August 20, 1549, that £6 was paid for bringing Richard Wade out of Suffolk (as a prisoner for a hearing before the Privy Council). His luck held good, for on August 22nd, £1 was paid to him as "sent hyther out of Suffolk and accused as a styrrer of seclecion whereof he hath cleared him­ self." Under date of Jan. 18, 1551, Dasent's Acts of the Pri'l!)I Council mentions a letter ordered to be ,,ritten to Sir Richard Waide, one of the Justices of Berkeshire, as to woodcutting in the woods, ap­ pertaining to the Busshopprike of Winchester, in County of Berk­ shire. The will of Elizabeth Onley, elated June 28, 1554, and proved in the Prerogative court of the Archbishop-of Canterbury, on August 11, 1556, (Ketchyn, II.) mentions her late husband Robert Wade, and her son-in-law, G~ Wade. One John Hanson, of Woodhouse, in the County of York, (buried at Elland, aged 82, in 1559, and so born in 1477,) married secondly, Margaret, the daughter of Robert Wade. His will dated June 11, and proved FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES. 55 August 29, 1559, mentions Robert Wade, deceased, his late broth­ er-in-law. ·Lyson's, in his Envzi-onr of London, IV. 583, dealing with the parish of Cheam, Middlesex, says that a mano~ there was in the tenure of Humphrey Wade, temp,, Edw. VI., to whom it had been assigned by Thomas Fromonds. Proceeding, therefore, with the numerous instances of early Wades, we find from the Herald's Visitation of the county of Norfolk, that one Margaret, the daughter of John Bacon, of Harleston, (whose will was dated October 22, 1511,) married a John Wade, while the De Banco Common Roll of Hilary Term, 6 Henry VIII. ( 15 15) mentions Margaret, Alicia, Anna, and Eliz­ abeth Coke, daughters and co-heiresses of one John Coke, of Esthaddon, in the county of Northampton, the first three of whom married John, William, and Thomas Wade, respectively. The Subsidy Roll for the county of Norfolk, of 15 Henry VIII. (1523,) contains the name of Thomas Wade, of East Rudham, as one of those then possessing over £40, (i. e. $200,) in lands or goods. Glover's Visitation of the county of Warwick, notes the marriage of Robert Wade to Anne, daughter of Christopher Lister, about 1530, and the feet of Fines for the county of Middlesex of 33 Henry VIII. (1542) refer to one Guy Wade as possessing a fish­ ery at Stratford-atte-Bowe. One William Wade was one of the attesting witnesses to the will of Thomas Bakon, of Helmyngham, in the county of Suffolk, the wil.l be_ing proved at Bury St, Edmund's, February 27, 1535. The year 1536 was memorable for the voyage of the ships Mzit­ iim and Trinzfy to the shores of Newfoundland. It was one of the earliest, if not the earliest, of the purely English voyages of dis­ covery to the New World. The 1lfim'on bore among its passengers, Armigel Waad, whose exploits_ on this voyage are more fully dealt with later, and in this chapter. - The Herald's Visitation of Leicestershire· in 1619, found that one Thomas Gregory, of Eiton,·in the county of Nottingham, had ma, ·ied Elizabeth, daughter of Christopher Wade, merchant and Mayor of Coventry, in the county of Warwick, who was living 38 Henry VIII., (1546) and died 16 Elizabeth, (1573.) The Calendar of Pleadings of the Duchy of Lancaster discloses THE WADE GEcsEALOGY. the fact that from 1561 to 1565, Christopher Wade, Elizabeth Wade, and others were in litigation as regards land of the manor of Coggeshall in the county of Essex, of which one Robert \\'ade had died seized, and a Herald's visitation of the county of Lincoln relates the marriage of Randolph \Vade of Windsor in Berkshire to Fayth, the daughter of Charles Yerburgh of Yerb,irgh (Yar­ borough, in Lincolnshire), about the year 1562. The Visitation of Yorkshire for 1563-4,mentions Robert Wade as the husband of Kateren, daughter of John Vavasour. The Herald's Visitation of the county of Oxford of 1566-7 notes the marriage of Alice, daughter of John Wade of Hokenorton to Walter Calcote of Williscote, and the will of Thomas Wade of Bildeston in the county of Suffolk is proved in the court of the Commissary of Bury St. Edmund's, Archdeacon of Sudbury, on September 18, 1570. It is dated January 23, 13 Elizabeth, (1569) and refers to his wife, Margery, and his brothers, John and William Wade. One John Wade of Framesden is a witness to the will. In the church of Bildeston in Suffolk is a monumental brass to William Wade, one of the High Constables of the Hundred, "·ho died Feb. 19th, 1599, Alice his wife and their six children, 2 sons and 4 daughters. The figure of William Wade has dis­ appeared. In the British Record office under date June 1575 are articles exhibited (i. e. criminal proceedings) respecting Mr. Wade not conforming to the statute De 1.Yumero Scholarz'um, from which it would seem that a limit a" t.o number of pupils was placed upon the Wackford Squeerses of Tudor clays. One John Wade was Mayor of Bristol in 1577 (19 Elizabeth). At Ipswich, in Suffolk was proved in 1579, the will of Agnes Ba­ con of Helmingham, in that county, elated 17 Elizabeth (1575), and mentioning her daughter, Johane Wade, and her godson, Robert Wade, while the Herald's Visitation of the county of War­ wick refers to T\1omas Wade of Aclclingham parish as the husband of Isabel, the daughter of Arthur Monhault, alias Maude, of West Redlesden, in the county of York, a_nd living in 1585. The register of the church at Seaton, in the county of Rutland, records the marriage, on February 20, 1589, of Robert Wade and FAMOUS ENG.LISH \\'ADES. 57 Anne Johnson, while from the parish of Goathurst, in the county of Somerset, we find the baptism of Roger \Vade, son of Roger Wade, parson, and Alice, his wife, on September r, 1594, and the burial of Roger Wade, parson, on June ro, 1595. Among the epigrams written by Daniel Rogers in the last quar­ ter of the 16th century, and now preserved in the Marquis of Hertford's MSS., there is one on Erasmus vVade in Book 3, a can­ celled one on William \Vade, and another on the same person. (Hz'storz'cal MSS. Report IT"., I, 252-3). An epigram on Sir Wil­ liam Wade from the Earl of Leicester's MSS. will be found later in this work. In the MSS. of the Marquis of Salisbury, preserved at Hatfield House, is a statement by one William Pities under date of August 9, 1592, that a certain Thomas Wade, a merchant's servant of London, went to Spain in a small flyboat of Zealand, was put in prison, and afterwards died in the hospital. The calendar of pleadings of the Duchy of· Lancaster discloses Anthony Wade, Samuel Wade and others in litigation as to land at Wakefield and Sowerby in the county of York, in 37 Elizabeth (1595), and in the same year one John Wade, husbandman, ser­ vant to Thomas Lynn, of North Tudenham, in the county of Nor- . folk, is returned as a Popish recusant. James Favel, of Keirly, in the parish of Kirkby Overblow, in the county of York, who died about 1653, is recorded as marrying Isabel, daughter of --- Wade of Monmouth, near Boroughbridge, in the same county. The marriage licence is elated in 1599 and giyes the place of the bride's residence and of the ceremony as Wilberfoss. The Calendar of State Papers tells us of a Robert Waadson ad­ venturing £IIo in the East India Company in January, 1608, of Nathaniel and Timothy Wade as interested in .the same company in .1618, of Thomas Waad in 1622 and Ralph Wade in the following year. In 1624 William Wade was supplying water-casks to ships bound to Surat, and on October 16, 1624, Robert Wad_e died on the Charles River in Virginia, acciclently sliot in the arm. In 1626 the executors of Thomas _Wade sold £600 stock in the East India Company, and a boy named William Wade was in Surat in February, 1629. 58 THE WADE GENEALOGY.

We learn from Baker's iVorthampton, page 87, that on the north wall of the chancel of Brampton Church is a small marble tablet inscribed:-"EDWARDUS WADE, Oxoniensis Coll. Exon. Artium Magister. per 32 An'os ecclesiae Brampton reverendus Presbyter. Filius Edwardi Wade, quondam civis Exoniensis. Pro pietate colendissimi.

This Edward Wade was, it may be said, presented to the rec­ tory of Holclenby, December 13, 1603, and held the living of Brampton together with that of Holdenby, until his death as above chronicled. The monument also records the deaths of his three children as follows:-" Robert Wade, May 20, 1625; Isabel, 1618; and Mary, 1627." William Wade married Agnes Cromwell at Henbury, Gloucestershire, June 9, 1600 (r). Wright's lfi'stmy of the Coun(Y of Essex, informs us that Adrian Mott of Braintree in that county married Jane Wade about 1604, and the Registers of St. Saviour's Church, Southwark, London, under date of February 2, 1608, record the marriage of Thomas Wade and Helen Pelleter. A curious instance of the association of a Wade with one of the names sacred to us as one of the principals among the Pi~grim Fathers and in that selfsame parish of Austerfield, whence sprang the seed of that great planting, appears from tl}e will of Robert Bradford of Austerfield, in the county of York, who was buried April 23, 1609. He mentions Grace Wade, a servant, in his will. Fortunate indeed would we be if for a brie: moment we could un­ roll the past and trace this Grace Wade. We might then, per- (r).

In England, alas, civil strife and most negligent clergy are responsible for the loss or destruction of SC!)res of priceless church records. Unknown to all but One, our heroes dead and unrecorded lie. The_ will of Richard Wade of Hauton in the county of Lan­ caster, yeoman, dated November 23, 1610, and proved at York, May 24, 1611 gives to his youngest son, Richard Wade, his copy­ holds in Halifax in the county of York-to his eldest son John Wade, three parts of all his implements of husbandry-to his son Richard, certain furniture,-to his daughter, Elizabeth, £40.-to his grand-daughter, Susan Towneley, daughter of Thomas Towneley, £4.-to Ralph and Mary Rushton, children of his son­ in-law, Ralph Rushton, £3 each.-to his daughter Ellen's base son, forty shillings,- and the residue of his estate to his seven children, John, Robert, Richard, Elizabeth, Anne, Ellen, and Jennet. He gave to his wife, Lettice, a yearly rentcharge, mentioned Richard Crooke of Pendle, late father-in-law of his son John Wade, and John Wade of Hauton, and he seems to have ~een a tenant of one Richard Towneley of Towneley, Esquire, to whom, as one of his executors, he left fifteen pounds in gold. The will of William Bacon, proved in 1610, left the sum of twenty shillings to one Jane Wade of Helmingham in the county of Suffolk, and the Bishop of Lincoln's Marriage Licences record the licence for the marriage of William Brocklebank of Alford in the county of Lincoln, draper, and Elizabeth Wade of Boston in the same county, under date of August 3, 1612, and state that they had relatives living at Stickney in Lincolnshire. Berry's Sussex Genealogzes, p. 15 4 mention the marriage of John Gilbert of Willingdon and afterwards of Bletchingdon in the county of Sussex, gentleman, (who was buried at Willingdon, April 16, 1627) to Joan, the daughter of-Wade of Willingdon, who was buried there, September 4, 1618. The Marriage Licences of the Bishop of Lincoln record, under date of June 11, 1621, the marriage of Brian Wade of Kingerly, gentleman, and Susanne Harper of Lincoln, spinster.

The Herald's Visitation of the county of Gloucester in 1623 refers to the marriage of Walter Keineys to Sara, daughter of William Wade, of Stoke in the same county. The registers of the church of St. Dunstan in the East, in London, record the marriage of John Yelles and Elizabeth Wacl'e under elate of January 29, 1624, while the Lincoln Marriage Licences of February 15, 1625, include the marriage licence of John Allison, yeoman, and Agnes Wade, spinster, both of Wigtoft, in the county of Lincoln. The Calendar of British State Papers (Colonial) under date of Nov, 17 1629, p. 103 contain abstracts of the Depositions of Capts. David and Thos. Kirke, John Love and Thomas Wade, factors for the adventurers in Canada, before Sir. Hen. Marten, Judge of the admiralty. They left Gravesend on 26 March, 1629, with 6 ships and 2 pinnaces. Arrived at Great Gaspe on 15 June and at Tadousac and Quebec, between that and 3rd of July. Traded with the natives for skins. Thos. Kirke with 200 men demanded the surrender of Quebec about 3rd July, which was given up on the 9th. 1713_ beaver skins were taken in the fort, and came into the Company':; hands. · FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES. 61

In the Marquis of Ormonde's Mss., at Kilkenny Castle, there are numerous letters to and from Richard Wade. in Ireland, be­ tween the dates of Dec. '14, 1631 and Oct. 30, 1657. The church registers of Maxey, in the county of Northampton, chronicle the marriage of Roger Wade and Anne Grange, on June 8, 1629, and the baptism of Judith, daughter of Thomas Wade, on October 9, 1631. A daughter of John Henry, of Whitehall, Lon­ don, gentleman to Philip, Earl of Pembroke, and afterwards Keep­ er of the Orchard at Whitehall, and Page of the Back Stairs to James, Duke of York, married ---Wade. Her mother was Mrs. Magdalen Rochdale, of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, Westmin­ ster, (who died March 1, 1645), and her brother was the Rev. _Philip Henry, of Broad Oak, Malpas, in the county of Chester, (who was born 1631 and died 1696). This was the age of ~olonization in Virginia, New England and New Jersey. It was but natural that the namesakes of 'the Eng­ lish Columbus,' Armigel Wade, should have considerable part in this great emigration. Accordingly we find, in Virginia, from 1646 or earlier, the names of Wades, some even bearing the peculiar Christian name of Armiger, and so undoubted descendants of the explorer. ~ New England, the record dates from 1632, when · Jonathan, Nathaniel, and Nicholas Wade, wealthy yeomen of the English county of Norfolk, settled around the present site of Bos­ ton, Massac~usetts. In New Jersey, the family honqr was sus­ tained by Benjamin Wade, a clothier, who was for a while in Ja_ maica, Long Island, proceeding thence to Elizabethtown, in New Jersey, where he was one of the earliest settlers. These important members of the family will be found fully dealt with in the follow­ ing and appropriate chapters of the present compilation. John Dike, of London, merchant, in 1633, is recorded as marry­ ing Mary, daughter of Thomas Wade, of London, and in 1634, Richard Allport, of London, skinner, married Alice, daughter of John Wade, of the North. The Herald's Visitation of the county of Oxford in 1634, records the marriage of Charnell Petty, of Stoke, to Ele~nor, daughter of --- Wade, of London. The Herald's Visitation of the county of Hertford, in the same year mentions the marriage of Alban Francis, of Salmons, to Elizabeth, daughter and heiress to Christopher Wad and Widow of --- 62 THE WADE GE:.'

Westcott. The Visitation of the county of Bedford, m the same year, chronicles the marriage of Noah Neale, of Dean, in that county (born 1612), to Eunice, daughter of Thomas Wade, Es­ quire, and her burial at Dean, March 14, 1664. On April 13, 1637, Anne Jessop, of Worksop, in the county of Nottingham, married a William Wade, at Worksop. One James Wade, of Colchester, in the county of Essex, Attorney, was from 1638 to 1641, appointed the attorney to act for some residents of the American colonies having property in Colchester, while a search of the parish registers in the Island of Barbados, reveals many instances of the name of Wade from 1640 to 1690. One Sackville Wade is included in a list of the principal inhab­ itants of London, " of the better sort and conceived to be of the best estate," in 1640. He seems to have resided in Castle Bay­ nard ward and in the parish of St. Bennett's, Paul's wharf. This, apparently, is the man referred to in the Bishop's Transcripts at Ely, of the church registers of Over, in the county of Cambridge, wherein we find the entries:-" 1676. Jany. 10. Buried Margaret, ye wife of Sackville Wade, Esquire. 1676. Jany. 19. Buried Sackville Wade, Esquire." Dealing with Hampton and Hampton Court, Middlesex, Lysons, in his Environs of London, V. 79, says that a tomb in the floor of Hampton Church, commemorates James Darell, Esquire, Chief Clerk of the Spicery, third son of John Darell of Caile Hill, Kent. He married Catherine, daughter of Robert Waide, gentleman, and died 1638. A certain Sarah Stringer, daughter of Francis Stringer, of Whiston, in the county of York (baptised June 29, 1642), married Robert Wade of Bamby Don, in the same county, gentleman, and one Nathaniel Waterhouse, of Halifax in the county of York, gen­ tleman (bapt. Sept. 11, 1586, will dated July 1, 1642, died June 3, 1645), mentions his cousin, John Wade of Skircote, in his will. Burke also records in his Landed Gentry, that Mary Waterhouse, daughter of Anthony Waterhouse, of Woodhouse, clothier, ma;ried John Wade of King's Cross, in the county of York, gentleman. (As to this family of Wade of King's Cross, see post in this chap­ ter). Curious indeed is an entry in the Diocesan records of the FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES.

Bishop of Ely. From it we find that old England suffered from . the pestilent fallacy of belief in witchcraft as badly or worse than our own pious forbears in Salem. Under date of May 30, 1647, there appears the information of Alice Wade, wife of William Wade of Stretham, taken upon oath before one Theo. Cartell, Esq., complaining of one Dorothy Ellis having touched her child's cheek and mumbled some words, wltich caused the child's face to swell and an eye to fall out ! This was the age of the Commonwealth and the unfortunate Royalists, somewhat like our Tories or Loyalists in the Revolution, and the Union men in the South, had to suffer at the hands of the dominant Roundheads, and to arrange pecuniary matters with ·a Committee for Compounding. On February 18, 1647, Cuthbert Wade of Kilnsey, in Craven, in the county of York (as to this fam­ ily see pedigree hereinafter), compounded for his delinquency. He was fined at one-sixth of the annual value of his estate, £222 (1'. e. about $1,100), for being related to the Earl of Cumberland, and for having taken up arms against the Parliament. He is re­ corded as having voluntarily submitted, November 10, 1645, to Colonel Edward Briggs, then commanding in chief the foot forces in Westmoreland, according to the New Model, and as having taken the negative oath and the national covenant. One Edward Wade, a clergyman, of Swinford, in the county of Leicester, appears as a delinquent, whose benefice had been sequestered about March 3, 1651, and a man of the same name of Angmering, in the county of Suffolk, is recorded as owing a recusant a debt of £132. Nicholas Wade, a delinquent of Faversham, in the county of Kent compounded for his estates at $400 on July 4, 1651 and Savil Wade (probably the Sackville Wade mentioned ante), of Over in the county of Cambridge, is mentioned as a delinquent in April 1656. A certain Robert Wade, of Altham in the county of Lancaster, claimed a house seized by the Committee and refuted the charge of being a delinquent in June 1654. Burke, in his Landed Gentry, records the marriage (about 1650), of Robert Clutterbuck to Sarah, daughter of Joh_n Wade, Esquire, and Edward Barker of Dore, in the parish of Dronfield Wood­ house, in the county of Derby, (aged 13 in 1611, died March _29, THE WADE GENEALOGY.

1660), married as his second wife, Dorothy Wade, widow, at Hathersedge, on September 14, 1652. The Calendar of the State Papers (Colonial) (1574-1660) dis­ closes a curious state of affairs in the island of Montserrat in the West Indies. On December 6, 1654 Samuel Waad of Topsham in Devonshire petitioned the Lord Protector Cromwell, alleging that his son Samuel had been illegally shot to death at Montserrat on May 1, 1654 by command of Governor Roger Osborne, who had seized his estate to the value of £ 1 2 ,ooo and converted it to his own use. The testimony of Henry W aacle, Richard Waad · and Henry Wheeler accompanied the petition and spoke of Osborne as an Irishman with Irish accomplices. On January 29, 1655 Crom­ well referred the petition to General Disborowe, the Earl of Mulgrave, Colonel Montagu and Sir Gilbert Pickering for their report. The other side of the story appears under elate December 31, 1655, when Robert Osborne, (presumedly the Governor or some relation), petitioned that he was the guardian of one Anthony Briskett, whose mother, the relict of Anthony Briskett deceased, had married Samuel Waad; that Waad had possessed himself of the estate and had been condemned for a mutiny. Osborne prayed. an enquiry and that the orphan might be continued in his father's estate. Unfortunately the ultimate decision as to Waad's murder or execution does not appear in the state papers. One John .Wade signs the registers at English Bicknor in the county of q1oucester, in 1656, and was apparently the vicar of the parish at that elate, while the registers of St. Margaret's, Lee, in the county of Kent, record the mariage of John Hanford of Lee and Mary Wade of Roath, as solemnized on June 12, 1660. Thomas Waade was in the isle of St. Christopher, West Indies, in 1666, and a Richard Waacl was a settler in the island of Nevis, West Indies, in 1668. Robert Wade of Lopsham, in the county of Suffolk, gentleman, was supervisor of the will of Thomas Smith of Thranderton, in Suffolk, gentleman, in 1665, ·and the Herald's Visitation of the county of Berks in 1664-5, records that Mary, daughter of Timo­ thy Wade, of London, merchant, was married to Richard Bigge of Hains Hill in Hurst, Berkshire, who was born in 1613. Mary Wade, his second wife, is described as the sole heiress of her father

FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES. and relict of Edward Cooke, D.D. A Herald's Visitation of the · county of Dorset in 1665, mentions the marriage of Phellip Grey, of Askerwell, to --- Wade. A deed, in the compiler's possession, dated in 1664, and made between John Wade of Ipswich, in the county of Suffolk, and Francis Edmund, Samuel Coleman and Joseph Coleman, al1 of the town of Ipswich, relates to lands in Holpitt and Drenkeston, in the county of Suffolk, and bears the quaint signatures of John Wade and other parties. The registers of the church of Barnston, near Great Dunmow, in Essex, record the marriage of Margaret Wade and Mr. Nicho­ las Collard on April 7, 1670, and the bride's burial on October 10 of the same year. The marriage of Thomas Wade to Elizabeth Lane appears from the church registers of Micheldean, in the county of Gloucester, in 1676. "Cosen Jaine Waide of Barnstone, in the county of Nottingham, and her two sons " are mentioned as legatees in the will of Elizabeth Sheppeardson of Owsthorpe, in that county, dated March 29, 1661, and proved at York on June 14, 1681, while the will of William Wade, late of Westharn, in Sus­ sex, yeomai;i, bound to Pennsylvania in America, speaks of his, brothers, Edmund and Thomas, and of Edmund, the eldest, and Thomas, the younger son of his brother Edmund. This will is dated August 24, 1682, and is proved October 28 in the same year, in the Prerogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury (Register, Cottle, 124). The calendar of Wills in the Court of the Hustings of the city of London, gives us the will of Timothy Wade, Esquire, of June 26, i-685. He appears to have been a wealthy citizen of that ancient city, devising to his wife, Martha, his Essex lands, Aldermanbury house, Brentford, Hanwell, and Heston estates ; and bequeathing to her plate, jewels~ etc. John Nevil, of Ridge well, Essex, died Februa.ry 27, 1687, and buried there, married Jane, daughter of Nat. Wade of Halsted, in Essex. (Chauncey's Herf/ordshi're, I., 551). William Wade, an infant of Woodcroft, was buried Feby. 19, 1692, at Maxey in Northamptonshire. A certain John Wade, of London, stuffman, married Eliza­ beth, daughter of Gilbert Upton, before 1693, and is men­ tioned in his will then dated. The marriage licences of the dio- 66 THE w ADE GENEALOGY. cesah registry at Worcester, record on April 14, 1699, the issuance of a licence to marry to John Wagstaff and Elizabeth Wade, widow, both of Wick-by-Pershore in Worcestershire, and Burke's Landed Genl!y informs us that Hugh Hammersley of Doncaster, in the county of York, attorney, ,who died December II, 1750, aged 50, and was buried at Doncaster), married as his first wife, Elizabeth, daughter and coheiress of --- Wade of Doncaster. Numerous instances of the name of Wade occur in the regis­ ters of the church of Kirksted-cum-Langhale, in the county of Norfolk, from 1700 to 1795, while the registers of St. Mary, Lew­ isham, in the county of Kent, record the marriage of J. Clowder and Anne Wade on September 21, 1704, and that of Susunnah Waide of Deptford, to Thomas Salmon, on August 2 7, 171 5. An altar tomb in the churchyard of New Buckenham in the county of Norfolk, bears for a crest a lion, passant, chained, and for arms, Argent, 3 bucks' heads, erased, sable. It commemorates Thomas Wade, who died October 17, 1708; Robert Wade, his brother, who died, November 7, 1708; and John Wade, their uncle, who died July 23, 1726 aged 73 years. Joane Upton, of St. Margarets, Newington, near London, mentions her niece, Elizabeth Wade, in her will dated in 1710, while from the proceed­ ings of the Virginia Historical Society, we learn that the Reverend Peter de la Fontaine, B. A., born 1691, and ordained by the Bishop of London, married secondly, after March 1715, and probably in Virginia, one E-- Wade. Mr. De la Fontaine emigrated to Virginia in 1 7 16 and at cine time was rector of King William and Westover parishes in Virginia. (As to Wade of Virginia, see Chapter V.) Blount's Tenures, page 277, informs us that one Andrew Wade, a master cutler of the town of Sheffield, was called in -a trial as an old man who remembered an old custom, which had been dropped in 1716. The church registers of Bran field, Suffolk, record the burial of Elizabeth Wade on September 27, 1717, and at St. Martin's-at-Plain in the city of Norwich is an inscription to Samuel Wade, who died in 1727, aged 59, and to William, Samuel, and Anne, his children, who died in infancy. The monument bears for arms, Azure, a saltire between 4 escallops, or, and for crest, an escallop, er. FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES.

Burke's Landed Gentty is the authority for the marriage of Searles Wade, gentleman, of Woodbridge, in the county of Suf­ folk, to Laura, daughter of Thomas Carthew, about 17 33, and also that Peter Wade, of the Booths, Yorkshire, married in 1744, Anne, daughter and coheiress of Peter Wade, Esquire. Lyson in his Environs o.f London, I. 472, mentions a monument in the chancel of Rotherhithe Church to the memory of Mr. Jos­ eph Wade, King's Carver, in his Majesty's yards at Deptford and Woolwich, who died in 1743. · Dealing with Hackney, Lysons also mentions the tombs of Thomas Wade, Esquire, 1754, and the Reverend Nelthorpe Wade,

In 1757 the Manor of Cranbrook was owned by Samuel \Vade , of Barking (Lyson's Environs o/ London, IV. 648), Parmenters, in Ridgewell parish, Essex, was the property of Ambrose Wade in 1770. In the· old burying ground of the parish of St. Andrew's, Jamaica, West Indies, is a memorial inscribed " In memory of J a­ cob Wade, died 17 59, aged 70 years," and we find that Jane Heard, of Bridgewater, in the county of Somerset, married at Montreal, 68 THE WADE GENEALOGY.

Canada, January, 1765, Matthew Wade, merchant, and died without issue in Jamaica, December 5, 1783. There were English soldiers of the name in the West Indies, as we find that Peter, the son of Captain John Goldsmith Wade, and Louisa, his wife, born April 17, 1785, was baptised December 4, 1785, at St. Paul's Antigua, and John Wade, captain of engineers, was buried at St. John's, Antigua, October 15, 1786. In the burial ground of the parish of St. Andrew's, Jamaica, is a slab inscribed :-"The body of John Wade - July, 1807." A monumental inscription in Lewisham church records the deaths of Edward Wade, March 23, 1839, his wife, Margaret Wade, February 18, 1839, and their daughter, Henrietta Mary Anne (Wade) Emberson, April 13, 1838. But this list of dis­ jointed extracts must draw to a conclusio'n to make way for the more extended entries in Herald's Visitations and public records. Before ending, one must chronicle two deeds of shame. Captain Cooper Wade, of H. M. S. Defiance of the British Royal Navy was one of the six captains who so shamefully deserted brave old Ad miral Benbow, in his sea fight with Admiral Ducu.. ,e and the French fleet. This unworthy member of the family was tried by court martial at Port Royal, Jamaica, with a Captain Kirby, and wa~ shot on his arrival at Plymouth, on board H. M. S. Bristol, That one of the Wades followed the lucrative but dangerous calling of Dick Turpin appears from the Gentleman's Magazine of 17 55, wherein one Christopher Wade is recorded as receiving sentence of death at the Old Bailey in London, "for the highway." But the name obtained the honor of inclusion in the fiction of the novelist Charles Dickens, as many will recall the Miss Wade of his Little Dorri!, misanthrope as she was, and man-hater as he de­ picts her. Marcus Clarke, also in a novel entitled For the Term of His 1'\atural Life makes use of Armigel Wade and several members of the Wade family as dramah's personce, but without any historical accuracy. One instance more and the end is reached :-It is an honorable instance, as our name is associated with that of the" day-star of the.English reforma1i~n,"-the great Wycliffe. A tombstone in the church yard of Whitkirk, in the county of York, bears the following inscriptton :-" Sacred to the FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES.

Memory of MRS. KATHERINE WADE of Halton, the last de­ scendant of the family which in the 14th century produced the Re­ former, WYCLIFFE. She died in great peace, Jany. 29th. 1838. Aged 7 5 years. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. Ps. cxvi. 15." Being a Miss Wycliffe, she married first Walter Sellon Gibson, Esq., of Leeds, and bore him a son, Walter Sellon Gibson, of York. Her husband died of the black fever, contracted while visiting the poor, and, after a widowhood of 14 years, she married Edward Wade of Stourton Grange. After living 14 years with her second husband he died, and she then resided at Halton, in the county of York, until her death. •, From the foregoing the reader will have seen that the Wades /\vere people of note and mark in the olden time. The frequent occurence of the name in Herald's Visitations is the surest ed­ dencr of good birth, for the old time herald was nothing if not a sycophant and disdained to bestow the title of esquire on any but a landed proprietor. The following series of pedigrees, wills and extracts from parish registers relate to families of the name of which records are more connected and perfect. It also includes instances of the famous Wades of the days gone by. Naturally the first concern will be with the Yorkshire family of Waad or Wade, famous as producing Armigel Waad, or Wade-" the English Columbus "-as his monument in the church at Hampstead, Middlesex, used to boast before it fell a sacrifice to the zeal of the church-restorer; his son, Sir William Waad, or Wade, the subservient Lieutenant of the Tower of London, who was such a busybody in ferreting out the details of the Gunpowder Plot, and so great a factor in the colon­ izatiqn of Virginia and the Bermuda Islands, and, lastly, if we may believe the acc~unt of the not-always-reliable Sir Bernard Burke, famed also as the ancestral stock of Field Marshal General George Wade, the commander-in-chief of the British army in early Georg­ ian days. But this last distinction requires more evidence to sup_ port it, as will be seen from the following data. By reference to the map of the county of York, in the north of England, the reader will find, nestling near the rugged fells of the adjoining county of Lancaster and in the midst of the bleak beauty THE WADE GENEALOGY, of the Yorkshire wolds and Cumberland dales, a hamlet, near Coniston, called Kilnsey. Here, not many miles away from \Vhalley, where Duke Wada was defeated, and in the heart of that wild Northumbria, where Teutonic folk-stories of Wada were num­ erous and curious, was early settled a notable family of the Wades. That these Wades were of long standing in this district appears from the Poll Tax roll of 2 Rich. II (1379). At Silsden, York­ shire, Wilhelmus Wade and his wife were taxed four pence, and Matilda Wade a like amount. The name of De Wode or de! Wode is of frequent occurrence at Bolton Abbey, Coniston, Mal­ ham and adjoining places. William Wade of Addingham, York­ shire, was a horse soldier of the battle of Flodden Field, Septem­ ber 9, 1513, serving under Henry Clifford, Earl of Cumberland, "The Shepherd Lord of Barden Tower," when, as the old ballad nms: "All that Craven coast did till They with the lusty Clifford came."

Speight's excellent book on the Yorkshire moors around Kiln­ sey gives some interesting particulars of these Wades of Kilnsey, and conveys a good idea of the romantic beauty of the district where­ in these sturdy woldsmen lived.

As a graceful writer says of it:-" Here is a shire which from the first twilight of our stormy history has caught all men's imag­ ination by the strength and vigor of its life ; a stage on which the grandest dramas have been played out with pomp and tragedy; a soil which has been drenched through and through by the very noblest blood in England ; a sturdy bulwark thrust well-nigh across the whole width of the country, in the track of the Scotch invasion; a land of tradition, of romance, and one withal of beauty so great and varied, so rare a medley of exquisite river-valleys falling out of wild moorland hiils, of high, grassy dales along the wind-swept mountains, and of stern seacoast as can be matched only in one other shire. If life in Yorkshire had been tame throughout all history, if its dalesmen had been peaceful shep­ herds and its Barons ready to give unquestioning loyalty to every King who sat at Westminster, if its townsmen had been placid traders and its great forests had never bred an outlaw-yet men would have wandered over its mountains and gazed down its val­ leys with delight for their very beauty. * * * Every mile of the vasi: area of Yorkshire is an epitome of English history, but FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES, 71 more than that, a monument of fierce passions and bloody trage­ dies, of cruel raids and gallant expeditions, which cries out loudly for our sympathy and interest, even in these days of peace. For many a century Yorkshire life was a splendid pageant, and though the banners and the pennants have long since swept away else­ where, though the dales are silent which used to echo with the clank of spears or harness, and the claws nest freely in the roofless castles of Scrape and Mobray, or defile the sacred prerincts of Fountains and of Rievaulx-still those who listen rightly may catch some echo of the distant music, clear and ringing through all the generations which have come and gone. A very little fancy will people those valleys once more with the musters of sturdy yeomen who rode to Bannockburn or Flodden, will raise again the banners of the Five Wounds of Christ, or call up the picture of the first messengers spurring into York from the field of Marston Moor, where, through the long summer evening, the citizens knelt prayin~ in their churches that they might be spared that terror which was surely falling on them."

It is the land around the proud Fountains, fair Kirklees and stately Bolton Abbeys, on the borders of the Lake country sacred to Wordsworth, a localty pregnant with folklore of heroic deeds. Men from these dales fought at Otterbourne as well as Flodden, and oft-times hunted the stark moss-troopers back to their holds. Speight says that Kilnsey Hall, the whilom seat of the Wades, is fast falling into decay, but that it still shews the family arms and the inscription "C. W. 1648,'' standing for Christopher Wade, whose son Cuthbert was a captain of Royalist Dragoons in 167 5. In 32 HeP.. VIII. (1541) on the dissolution of the monasteries, the king granted Kilnsey to Sir Richard Gresham, Kt., (s) of whom Sir John Yorke, Sheriff of London and Under Treasurer of the Mint, purchased it in 6 Edw VI. (1552). Lady Anne Clifford, daughter of the last Earl of Cumberland, records in her MS diary a visit to "Mr. Cuthbert Wade's house at Kilnsey" when she was 7 4 years of age. That this particular family of Wades was of the order of gentle-

(s) Wade may have owed his introduction at court to Sir Richard Gresham. Sir William Wade calls Sir John Yorke "cosen," and as will be seen later the Wades of Kilnsea were said to be related to the Earl of Cumberland. Neither of these relationships has been ascer­ tained by the present compiler. 72 THE WADE GENEALOGY. people appears from the Herald's Visitation of the County of York, made by Sir William Dugdale, Garter-King-at-Arms, in 1665, for under date of Skipton, August 17, 1665, when recording the pedigrees of the gentry resident in the Wapentake of Staine­ cliffe, the King-at-Arms recorded a descent of Wade of Kilnsey, which, preserved in the Harleian MSS. 4630, folio 663, in the British Museum, has been reproduced in the Transachims o_f the Suriees Sode{v. Vol. XXXVI, p. 32, and also, more recently, and with some additions, in the pages of the . Genealogist, Vol. XI NS. p. 160-1. (1894). The Herald then ascribed to the family as arms; azure, a saltire between 4 escallops, or, and for crest, a rhinoceros argent, but was careful to note on his visitation rolls that "no proofe was made of these armes." : · There is a curious family tradition as to this rhinoceros crest, it being said that a rhinoceros horn was presented to Armigel or Sir William Wade by the King of Spain on attendance at the court of that monarch as ambassador of the King of England. This most curious horn, with the name and arms of vVaad inscribed on it, is to-day in the possession of a descendant of Annigel Wade, Mr. William de Vins Wade, a solicitor of the Supreme Court of Judicature in England, who resides at Great Dunmow, in the county of Essex, and who, as a worthy son of the old stock, has re­ cently, and at considerable expense, restored the tomb of Sir Wil­ liam Wade in the church of Manuden, in the county of Essex. (There was a strange medireval belief in the virtues of rhinoceros horn as a poison-detector. It was alleged that if poison were put into a vessel made of rhinoceros' horn, the liquid contained therein would effervesce. Other strange Eastern beliefs as to the rhino­ ceros appear in Sinbad's Second Voyage, in " The Arabian Nights." As to the meaning of the unusual Christian name of Armigil, still in use among the Wades, An English Garner, (Vol. II., p, 61), says; "The name Armigill is probably the same as Armgold, and cognate with the German EringilArundel county, Mary­ land, with a population of 12 persons. It is situate near Annapo­ lis. Several persons of this peculiar surname reside in Baltimore, Marylant.!. Two other derivations for this unusual Christian name are af­ forded by Lower, Patron_ymica Bn'tannica, Armiger or Arminger is, of course, the Latin armiger (arm-bearer), an esquire, the next in degree to a knight. Lower also quotes the Register of Batte! Abbey to shew that the upper servants of an abbey were termed 1rmigen: Now Kilnsea was in possession of the monks until Henry VIII. gave it to Sir Thomas Gresham, and Armigil Waad was, as we know, related to Comyn, the Prior of Nostel. Even if Armigil Waad himself did not come from Kilnsea, the Wade fam­ ily flourished around Bolton and Fountains Abbeys, where once the monks were all powerful until a divorce-seeking king turned re­ former and iconoclast.)

Later records and the compiler's own researches have so added to this pedigree of Wade as to much improve the Herald's Visita­ tion, and it may well be stated in the usual American manner as follows: 74 THE WADE GENEALOGY.

But scanty indeed is the information we possess as to this early werthy. The principal account of him is to be found in Park's Topograpf?y and l\'atur,1! Hist01y of Hampstead z'n ilze Coun(I' of 11/iddlesex, England (1818), which tells that "he was descended from the Wades of Yorkshire, in which county he was born; and, according to Anthony Wood (w), spent some years in logic and philosophy in Magdalen College, Oxford ; and, it seems, took a degree in Arts there; finished his education at one of the Inns of Court (x), and then commenced his travels. This is evidently the routine of a person in the superior walks of life, although we are ignorant of his parentage .. Upon his return he was attached to the Court by being appointed Clerk of the Council to Henry VIII., which office was continued to him in the follm\'ing reign. Wood asserts that he had made many observations in his travels, especially in America (being the first Englishman that discovered it), which are remitted into the volumes of travels collected and published by another hand. (Athenae Oxoniensz's I., 154). This statement as to the discovery of America is certainly authorized by Mr. Waad's monumental inscription, from whence the whole of Wood's account is taken, but, further authority, I can find none. He is indeed said to have been styled 'The English Columbus' (Morant's Hi'stor,J' o.f Essex, vol. II., p. 631), and Dr. Fuller ( Worthies of Yorl..-shzi-e, p. 203) affirms "that his several voyages are largely described in Mr. Hackluit, his travels. ·'I believe the reader may search in vain, there or elsewhere, for ' Waad's f.''&ages,' although he will find his name mentioned as an adventurer to Newfoundland in the account of Hore's voyage to that island in 1536" (Park's Hampstead, p. 138). (v) It is probable that one of Armigel Wade's sons was named Chris topher, and was Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, 1561; B. A. 10 July, 1562; M. A, 1567, and died young. (See Foster's AlumniO:ron­ iensis.) Armigel himself was a graduate of this college. (w). (Foster, in his AlmniOxoniensis, supplies these data: ••Armigel Wade, B.

The arms, as will be seen from the accom­ panying illustration, differ curiously from the usual Wade Arms, and are remarkable as possessing 2 crests.

VII.) and graduating in 1531 at the age of 46, did not his life disprove this. It was a young and adventurous man who in 1536 sailed in the .lllinion on Hore's ·voyage of explo:ration. The risks were those a man of 2 5 years of age would take. His travels and his lifework were done before he was 50 years old, and we may fairly place him as born about 15II, (2 Hen. VJII.). Thus he saw nearly all of Bluff THE \V ADE GENEALOGY.

King Hal's reign, the, brief rule of Edward VI., Bloody Mary's persecution of the Protestants, and stern Elizabeth's similar treatment of the Papists. If he were born about 15II, he was·29 years old when he was appointed Clerk of the Council at Calais, 35 years old at the birth of his son William, 36 when appointed third clerk of the privy council, and 37 when elected Member of Par­ liament. The balance of probability is thus in favor of his birth about 151 I. So valuable and interesting is this account of the voyage of the English Columbus that the compiler subjoins the extract from Hakluyt verbatim. It runs as follows : " The Master Hore of London, a man of goodly stature and great courage, and given to the study of cosmographie, in the t·,yenty-eighth year of King Henry the Eighth, and in the year of our Lord 1536, encouraged divers gentlemen and others, being assisted by the king's favour and good countenance, to accompany him in a voyage of discov­ erie upon the northwest parts of America: V.1herein his persua­ sion took such effect that within short space many gentlemen of the Inns of Court and of the Chancerie, and divers others of good worship, desirous to see the good things of the world, very willingly entered into the action with him, some of whose names were as follows: Mr. Weekes, a gentleman of the west country, of five hundred marks by the year living ; Mr. Tucke, a gentleman of Kent; Mr. Tuckfield; Mr. Thomas Butts, Cv) the son of Sir William Butts, knight, of Norfolk, (which was lately living, and from whose mouth I wrote most of this relation) ; Mr. Hardie ; Mr. Biron ; Mr. Carter; Mr. \,Vright; Mr. Rastall (Sergeant Rastall's brother) ; Mr. Ridley and divers others, which all were in the Admyrall, called the Tr/nzHe, a ship of seven score tunnes, wherein Mr. Hore himself was imbarked. In the other ship, whose name was the llHnion, went a very learned and virtuous gentle­ man, one Mr. Armigil Wade, afterward clerk of the Counsailles to King Henry the 8th, and King Edward the 6th, father to the wor­ shipful Mr. William Wade, now clerke of the Privie Counsel!; Mr. Oliver Dawbeney, Merchant of London; Mr. Joy, afterward

FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES. 79 gentleman of the King's Chappell, with divers others of good ac­ count. "The whole number ~hat went in the two tall ships aforesaid, to wit, the Tnni(y and the ilfinion, were about six score persons, whereof thirty were gentlemen, which all were mustered in warlike manner at Gravesend, and after the receiving of the sacrament they embarked themselves in the end of April, 1536. " From the time of their setting out from Gravesend, they were very long at sea, to wit, about two months, and never touched any land until they came to part of the West Indies about Cape Bre­ ton, shaping their course thence northeastwards, until they came to the island of Penguin, (z) which is very full of rocks and stones, whereon they went and found it full of great fowls, white and grey, as big as geese, and they saw infinite numbers of their eggs. They drove a great number of the fowls into their boats upon their sails and took many of their eggs : the fowls that they flayed, and their skins were very like honey combs full of holes, being flayed off. They dressed them and found them to be very good and nourishing meat. They also saw store of hares, both black and white, of whom they killed some and took them for no bad food. "Mr. Oliver Dawbeney, which, (as it is before mentioned), was in this voyage, and in the 11£z"mon, told me, Richard Hakluyt, of the Middle Temple, these things following, to wit:- That after their arrival in Newfoundland, and having been there certain days at anchor, and not having yet seen any of the natural people of the country, the same Dawbeney walking one day on the hatches spied a boat with savages of those parts rowing down the bay toward them to gaze upon the ship and our people; and taking view of their coming aloft, he called to such as were under the hatches and wille.d them to come up if they would see the natural people of the country that they had so long and so much desired to see, whereupon they came up and took view of the savages rowing toward them and their ship, and upon the view they manned out a ship boat to meet them and to take them. But they, spying our ship boat making towards them, returned with

I, pp. 12-13). 80 THE wADE GENEALOGY. main force and fled into an i:,land that lay up in the bay or river there; and our men pursued them into the island, and the sav­ ages fled and escaped, but our men found a fire and the side of a bear on a wooden spit left at the same by the savages that were fled. " There in the same place they found a boot of leather gar­ nished on the outward side of the calf with certain brave trails, as it were, of raw silk, and also found a certain great warm mit­ ten, and these carried with them, they returned to the ship, nor seeing anything else besides the soil, and the things growing in the same, which chiefly were store of fir and pine trees. "And further the said Mr. Dawbeney told him, that lying there they grew into great want of victuals, and that they found small relief, more than they had from the nest of an osprey, that brought them hourly to her young great plenty of divers sorts of fishes. But such was the famine that increased among them from day to day that they were forced to relieve themselves of raw herbs and roots that they sought on the main ; but the famine increasing, and the relief of herbs being to little purpose to satisfy their insatiable hunger, in, the fields and deserts here and there, the fellow killed his mate while he stooped to take up a root for his relief, and cutting out pieces of his body whom he had mur­ dered, broiled the same on the coals and greedily devoured them. ·• By this means the company decreased and the officers knew not what had become of them ; and it fortuned that one of the company, driven with hunger to seek abroad for relief, found out in the fields the savor of broiled flesh, and fell out with one for that he would suffer him and his fellows to starve, enjoying plenty as he thought ; and this matter growing to cruel speeches, he that had the broiled meat burst out with these words: ' If thou wouldst need know, the broiled meat that I had was a piece of such a man's buttock.' The report of this brought to the ship, the captain found what became of those that were missing, and was persuaded that some of them were neither devoured with wild beasts, nor yet destroyed with savages; and hereupon he stood up and made a notable oration, containing how much these deal­ ings offended the Almighty, and vouched the scriptures from first FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES. 8r to last, what God had in cases of distress done for them that called upon Him, and told them that the power of the Almighty was then no less than in all former time it had been, and added, that if it had not pleased God to have helped them in that distress, that it had been better to have perished in body and to have lived ever­ lastingly, than to have relieved for a poor time their mortal bodies and to be condemned everlastingly, both body and soul, to the unquenchable fire of Hell. And thus, having ended to that ef­ fect, he began to exhort to repentance, and besought all the com­ pany to pray, that it might please God to look upon their present miserable state and for his own mercy to relieve the same. The famine increasing, and the inconvenience of the men being miss­ ing being found, they agreed among themselves rather than that all should perish, to cast lots who should be killed : and such was the mercy of God that the same night there arrived a French ship in that port, well furnished with victual, and such was the policy of the English, that they became masters of the same, and chang­ ing ships and victualling them, they set sail to come to England. '' In their journey they were so far northwards that they saw mighty islands of ice in the summer season, on which were hawks and other fowls to rest themselves, being weary of flying over far from the main: They also saw certain great white fowls with red bills and red legs, somewhat bigger than herons, that they supposed to be storks. They arrived at St. Ives in Cornwall about the end of October. From there they departed unto a certain castle be­ longing to Sir John Luttrell, where Mr. Thomas Butts and Mr. Rastall and other gentlemen of the voyage were very friendly enter­ tained: after that they came to the Earl of Bath, and thence to Bristol, so to London. Mr. Butts was so changed in the voyage with hunger and misery, that Sir William, his father, and my Lady, his mother, knew him not to be their son, until they found a secret mark which was a wart upon one of his knees, as he told me, Richard Hakluyt, of Oxford, himself, to whom I rode two hundred miles only to have the whole truth of this voyage from his own mouth, as being the only man now alive that was in that dis­ covery. " Certain months after those Frenchmen came into England and made complaint to King Henry the Eighth; the King causing 82 THE WADE GENEALOGY.

the matter to be examined and finding the great distress of his subjects, and the causes of dealing so with the Fre 1ch, was so moved with pity that he punished not his own subjec\.s, but of his own purse made full and Royal recompense unto the French. " In this distress of famine, the English did somewhat relieve their vital spirits by drinking at the springs the fresh water out of certain wooden cups, out of which they drunk their aqua composita before." (Hacklu_l'l's F~)'ages, Vol. III. pp. 129-131). Hakluyt obtained this account of Hare's voyage on the authority of his cousin and homonym, Richard Hakluyt of the Inner Tem­ ple. The start of the expedition is mentioned by Robert Pierce Condon in his History rif Gravesend, 8vo. London (1843), p. 213. See also Jean el Sebasfltm Cabot par Harrisse p. 297. Hakluyt's statement that Master Hore and his companions "were assisted by the King's (Hen. VIII.) favor and good coun­ tenance" is a _sufficient answer to the silly tirade against Henry VIII. made by Foster (Northern Vqyages, p, 268), and to the dia­ tribes of Dr. Robertson (America, book IX.) and Profs. Leslie and Jameson, and Hugh Murray (Edinboro Cabinet Library, Vol. I., p, 98). Dr. Asher, in his introduction to Hemy Hudson, the Navi­ gator (p. xcv.) is inclined to ridicule Hore as a lawyer who had dabbled in cosmography, and is severe in his strictures on the dar­ ing act of piracy committed, (see also Kohl's Discovery rf JJfaine, pp. 337-340). Be it as it may, exploration seems to have slum­ bered from Hore's voyage in 1536 until the year 1574. To Armigel Waad, as a cultured scholar of the University of Cambridge, would have been known that passage in the chorus of The Medea of Seneca :-- •Venient annis Saecula seris, Quibus Oceanus Vincula rerum laxet, et ingens Pateat tellus, Tethysque novos Detegat orbes, nee sit terris Ultima Thule.' (lines 3 76-3 8 r.) which has been called a prophesy of America, and was thus ren­ dered: . . . . ' time shall in fine out breake When Ocean waue shall open euery Realme, The wondering World at will shall open lye, FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES.

And TYPHIS will some new founde Land suruay. Some trauelers shall the Countreys farre escrye, Beyond small Thule, knowen furthest at this day.'

It may have been such words as these which set Armigel Waad's soul aflame, filling him with desire to "escrye the Countreys farre," but certain it is that this adventurous voyage was the first important attempt by Englishmen to reap the fruits of the knowl­ edge gained by Columbus and Cabot. Biddle, in his Memoir of Cabot, page 278, refers to this voyage made by Armigel Wade as "evidently contemplating an adven­ turous range of research," though he does not mention the names of those taking part in it ; and Alexander Brown, also, in his Gen­ esis of the United Stales (vol. I., p. 2 ), while he considers Sir CThomas More's Utopia as the most remarkable publication having a bearing on America of Henry VIII.'s reign, in the next sentence styles the expedition of Master Robert Hore, in company with Annigel Wade and others, " the most notable voyage of discovery in the same period." It would be idle at the present day to at­ tempt to defend the literal accuracy of the inscription on Armigel Wade's tomb. He certainly was not the first English expiorer of America, as the sixteen English sailors in Sebastian Cabot's ves­ sel were en~itled to this appellation, if not the Irishman and Englishman who perished at Navidad, in the crew of Columbus. Erroneous is it to call Armigel Wade, t~e Engiish Columbus, when we are confronted with the Privy Purse Expense account of Henry VII., which under date of Jan. 7, 1502, records the pay­ ment " To men of Bristol, (Thome and Elliot), that found the Isle, £5." It seems clear, also, that a Canon of St. Paul's Cathedral (Albertus de Prato) was a member of an earlier expedition in 1527, and actually landed on the American continent (Hakluyt, III., 129). While the inscription may be taken as bombastic eulogy from the pen of Sir William Wade, even then there is a curious fact to be noted as to the early Wades and their part in exploring America. XArmigel Wade had, as we find from his monument, sev:enteen s~s and thre~_daughter$. What is more probable than that some of these sons took part with the other adventurous spirits of these THE WADE GENEALOGY. days in the exploration of the mysterious West? It was an age of great deeds and greater daring. Long had the intrepid Mer­ chant Adventurers of the port of Bristol sought for the fabled terrestrial paradise of the isle of Bimini. The earth was full of rumors of wondrous lands and the fame of Columbus and the Cabots was great indeed. Every simple squire dreamed of empires in the hidden west and later, scores followed Gosnold, Smith, Drake, Hawkins, Frobisher and the gallant Ral~igh in quest of Spanish treasure-ships to seize, or auriferous lands to conquer. Let us look at the facts at Yorktown in Virginia. Here, though the land has been harried by Hessian and English invad­ , ers and has suffered severely in the Civil War, the records are fortunately in excellent condition. In the county records a Henry Wade appears as early as 1646. There is a will of Armiger Wade who lived in York county in 1644, and was burgess in 16 5 7, and the Clerk of the County and Circuit Courts reports the frequent occurrence of the names of Armiger Wade, Edward Wade, Thomas Wade, William Wade, John Wade, Richard Wade, James Wade, Joseph Wade and Mildred Wade. These, as surely as human speculation can be correct, were descendants of that worthy Armigel Wade of England, who was no inconsiderable figure in the history of his own land. (See post, Chapter V.) Waad is said to have written an account o( this voyage which was afterwards printed. No such work has been traced. After his return the explorer. seems to have entered the service of Henry VIII. probably as a messenger. In 1540, on the recom­ mendat.ion of Lord Maltravers, the lord deputy, Waad was pro­ moted clerk of the council at Calais. He was promoted third clerk of the Privy Council at London at Midsummer, 15 4 7, serving at first without a regular salary, though he was paid for special services, like arresting a Frenchman, (probably Jean Ribauld), when he tried to escape to France (Acts P. c., ed. Dasent, 1547-50, pp. l 13, 184). At the meeting of the Privy Council on Sunday, Jan. 15, 1547, Armigill Wade was directed to deliver certain cancelled Le}ters Patent into the Treasury. On September 22, 1547, he was elected Member of Parliament for Chipping Wycombe, in the FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES. county of Buckingham. On 17 April, 1548, he began to draw a regular salary of fifty marks as third clerk of the council. We find that Armigel Wade is referred to by William Patten (1) in his Diary o.f the Expeditz'on i'nto Scotland ( 15 48), in the following encomiastic phrases:- " Though I plainly told ye not, that my friend's name was Armigil Wade; yet we that know the man, his good literature, his wit and dexterity in all his doings and mark the i·ell couching of his clue, might have a great guess of whose spinning the.thread were.". (See Notes and Queries, April, 1891.) At the meeting of the Privy Council on April 16, 1548, the salary of William Hunnyng, one of the clerks of the council, was raised from £20 to £50, that _of Sir Thomas Chaloner, another clerk, from £10 to £40, and Armigill Wade, '' who had served syns mydsomer last (for) no manner of fee or interteynement was ordered to receive 5 o marks fee by the yere."

(i) William Patten (fl. 1548-1580\, historian and teller of the Excheq­ uer, was eldest son and third child of Richard Patten (d. 1536), a cloth­ worker of London. The father was the son of Richard Patten, of Boslow, Derbyshire, and a nephew of William Patten, alias \Vaynflete, Bishop of Winchester. \Villiam's mother, Grace, died before her hus­ band (Gregson Porif. Fragments, pp. 190--4, Chetham Socy. Pub., lxxxviii, 229). Patten apparently accompanied the expedition into Scotland in 1548, and the Earl of Warwick, lieutenant of the host, made him "one of the judges of the Marshalsey." William Cecil, (afterwards Lord Burghley), went with him, and both, according to Patten, took notes clay by clay. Patten prepared an account of the expedition for publication and obtained sonie aid from Cecil's diary. The work appeared as '' The ExfJedecion into Scotland ·of the most ~11oortherly fortunate Pri11ce E.!ward, Duke of Somerset, uncle unto our most noble So11ereig11 Lord ye kinges majestie, Edward the VI., go11ernor of hys hyghness persone, and protectour of lzys graces realmes, dominions and sub­ jects: made in the first year of his majesties most prosperous reign, and set out by way of diarie by W.

On May 26, 1552, a letter was written by the Privy Council to the Chancellor of the Augmentations " to make out a booke unto Annigill Waade and Barnard Hampton, Clerkes of the King's Majesty's Privy Council, of his highness gifte of Trinitie Church in York, with all manner the tymber, bells, glasse, stone and other things to the same church belonging." Under date of May 30, 1552, a letter was sent to the Lieutenant of the Tower "to suffer Mr Waade, in his presence, to spake with the Lorde Paget, who must signe a book sent by the sayd Mr. Waade." On Oct. 24, 1552, a warrant was issued" to Mr. Waade to pay Jeffray Harrison, Bailiff of Westminster, £20 for horde of prisoners." 'i.'he rise of this Yorkshire man was fairly rapid, for in 1552 he had risen to be chief clerk, in which capacity he was paid £50 per year. The last mention of Armigil Waad as clerk to the Privy Council occurs on 13 June, 1553, and there can be little doubt that he lost his office on Queen Mary's accession. He also lost his seat in Parliament, and possibly a post in the Cus­ toms which he had bought, and of which, as he subsequently com­ plained to Cecil, he was deprived without compensation. In 1554 he was, however, granted by the crown the manor of Milton · Grange, Oxfordshire (Originalia Rolls, Vol. 58, p. 3). He also · acquired lands in Kentish Town and at Lydd, Kent, and sub­ sequently leased Belsize, Hampstead, which he made his home, 88 THE WADE GENEALOGY. from the dean and chapter of St. Paul's. In December, 1555, he was summoned to account for £800, which, from the foregoing ex­ tracts, it seems clear he had lawfully expended on warrants. Froude, the historian of England, (VIII. 2 o) under date of Decem­ ber, 1558, quotes from Armigel's Wade's pamphlet, "On the Dis­ tresses of the Commonwealth. The author advised "wary hand­ ling " ; " The Catholics were in the majority in every county in England except Middlesex and Kent ; " " The Pope was a dan­ gerous enemy" ; "theological intolerance was not found by exper­ ience to produce healthy convictions; " "glasses with small necks, if liquor was poured into them suddenly and violently, would not be so filled, but would refuse to receive it." (Domestic MS., Eliza­ beth, Vol. I.). It was a brave mind of a bold statesmen that could think thus manfully in days when religious intolerance vied for suprel!lacy with the divine right of absolute monarchy, and the man who wrote thus was no small figure in Elizabethan England's foreign and domestic policy. This pamphlet, calendered as "an elaborate paper," and en­ dorsed "The Distresses of the Commonwealth with ye meanes to remedy them, A. Wade," is preserved in the State Paper Office, 1558, No. 66. It will probably be printed in an appendix to the present work. Waad does not appear to have been restored to the clerkship of the council on the accession of Elizabeth; but on 15 April, 1559, he was sent on a mission to the Duke of Holstein. His instructions read as follows :

April 15, 1559. No. 542.-Embassy to the Duke of Holstein. "In­ structions given to Armigill Wade, Esq., being sent to the Duke of Holst. by the Queen. r. He shall repair to Holsatia, and at his arrival at He,\rsen, and afterwards at Kiel, lying upon the east, seas of the said Dukedom of Holsatia, shall cause William Earle, servant to Sir William Garrett, Alderman of London, to procure him access to the Duke. This ob­ tained, he shall commune with him or his council in the matter of traffic for the resort of the English merchants into his countries, con­ ferring with him upon the aptness and commodities of the ports to which they may resort with their wares, what privileges shall be granted them, taking care not to bind her to any conclusion. 2. He shall learn, by the secretest and indirectest way that he can devise, what doings, liberties and privileges, they have or had, in the countries of Sweden, Denmark and Holstein, in what state and times they stand there this day, herein groping the Duke, (tanquam aliud agens), so as to feel whether he would be induced to break through FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES. them, and so handle the business, as to provoke him to use them 1!, .such sort as has been done here, declaring to him the reasonable offers made unto them, which they do not accept or embrace. 3. He shall further learn, by the means aforesaid, how the States seem to take their handling, and what rumours spread there touching their discontentation or what they may or do practise secretly or openly, fer the stay or courage of our determinations here against them. 4. By the means aforesaid he shall learn of what religion the Duke is, and if he is of the religion of the Protestants, he may introduce mat­ ters of communication of religion; declaring that, by the goodness of God and her, this realm embraces the religion set forth in the confes­ sion of Augusta, (? Augsberg), agreeable to which the King of Den­ mark, Sweden and other princes of Germany receive; and that the Duke not abhoring from the same, it were meet that there were between England and him some further intelligence for the mainten­ ance of the said Confession, and for the repressing of the attempts of the States for the recovery of the said liberties. In all these things he shall use himself so warily as it may seem these things pass from him­ self; giving as it were some inkling of hope, but so as in nowise to charge or tie the Queen. 5. In the meantime, he shall cause William Earle to bargain for a mass ·of bullion in the dollar and fine silver, proceeding in the same bargain himself under or up to 100,000/, not exceeding 8 per cent. interest for the whole. In the handling hereof he shall not show that he is het minister, nor produce her warrant to treat herein unless the cause be urgent.

These instructions are preserved in the Harleian and Sloane MSS. in the British Museum (Harl. MSS. 36, fol. 7 5 ; Sloane MSS. 31, p. 128). Waad carried also a letter from Queen Elizabeth to the Duke of Holstein, stating that she had re­ <:eived his letters addressed to her late sister, Queen Mary, whose death had occurred before the arrival of his messenger. These letters mention the Duke's intention to select some port within his dominions fit for the importation and exportation of merchandise, and the extension of commerce between their two realms. 'l'he project has her concurrence, and she has so in­ formed her messenger. In furtherance of the same object she .sent her servant, Armigill Wade, who would further inform him ,of her intentions in this matter and for whom she asks credit. On July 8, 1559, the Duke of Holstein writes from Rensburg to Queen Elizabeth acknowledging the receipt of her letters sent by Armigilius Waden, and on July 31 he writes from Golldorp to Sir William Cecil thanking Queen Elizabeth for having sent Armigil­ ius Wade to him as her envoy, by whom he despatches these letters. An English family record tells us that Armygell Wade 90 THE wADE GENEALOGY. was godfather to Elizabeth Roberts, born at Neasdon, Middle­ sex, Jan, 12, 1560. It was an age of speculation and the alchemists flourished or fell into the dungeons of the Tower of London. The State papers. shew Waad's dealings with one Paul Cypraeus, who, under date of January 25, 1561, writes from Bielsano (Belsize, Mr. Waad's house) to Sir William Cecil that he is encouraged by Mr. Waad to address him, and assures him of his great respect for him and his devotion to his service. In addition to his public duties, Waad seems to have busied himself in behalf of Sir William Cecil's domestic affairs. Under date of March 1, 1561, he writes from Belsize to Cecil, describ­ ing Mr. Vaughan's house. Has given orders to Cecil's gardeners as directed. He also recommended a person for the works at Dover or Sandwich, who has a new method of excavating. And again on March 7, 1561, we find him writing to Sir William Cecil that the gardener at Greenwich will provide Cecil with all that he can. He recommends that lavendar, spike, hissop, thyme, rose­ mary and sage be sent for. If more is necessary, then to send to Hampton Court or Richmond. In June, 1562, Waad was sent to Rye to muster six hundred n1en for service at Havre, and to collect information about the movements of French parties and the readiness of the Huguenots to accept English help. He writes from Rye on June 18, 1562, to the Lord Admiral, detailing his proceed­ ings in surveying the watercourses between Newenden and Rye, with the view of improving Rye Harbor. But the most interesting letter from this Elizabethan worthy comes from American custody. In the Hardwicke MSS. in the Lenox Branch of the New York Public Library,. is a copy verbatim of Armigel Waad's letter to Secretary Cecil from Rye on June 25, 1562. Its quaint diction is. as follows:

May it like your Honor to he advertised that the Captain of Dieppe having received by Reckard (of whose sending to Dieppe I wrote to your Honor the 19th of this present) the commendations that I did send into him, hath by the same Reckard thanked me most heartily for the same; and for News certain, hath sent me now, that the 17th of this present, Monsr. de Guise issued out of his camp toward :.··~--.,/,· ~ .. :.,., i t~•:v!''":~: ·

Orleans with a thousand horsemen and 3 thousand footmen, whereof the Pr. of Conde having intelligence, made out of Orleans, met with him, and slew 8 hundred horsemen, 1100 Footmen, slew also the Marshal St. Andree, took the Grand Prior and Monsr. Danville; the D. of Guise receiving 3 or 4 coups of the Harquebut upon his breast, which pierced not, by reason of the goodness of his harness; was nevertheless shonhrough the thigh with a Pellet. Whereupon he retiring to his camp did immediately send for his brother D'amnale to Roan, who marcheth toward him. This note Rockard received in writing from the Captain's mouth. He saith also, that at the same conflict the Con­ stable's son was also taken, who was immediately and secretly discharged and enlarged; whereby it is gathered, that the Pr: of Conde should have some secret intelligence with him. Tomorrow, if the weather be fair, the Diepois intend to give the assay again to Aix; for which purpose, they propose to carry with them 7 Pieces of Battery.. They have fortified St. Nicholas Hill wonderfully for the shortness of the time, so as it is now thought to be tenable. The same is the hill, that standeth west from the Town to­ ward Newhaven. Pellet Hill standing on the other side they meddle not withal, .from which hill the enemy may rather annoy the Town with beating, than battery or approach. In Paris the Papists do now only reign having expelled out of the Town all the Protestants and possessed themselves of their Houses and goods.

Your Honor's to be by you commanded with all my heart and service. AR WAADE. (Vol. 7, Hardwicke MSS. 436-439.) The compiler's thanks are due to the New York Public Library (Lenox branch), for permission to transcribe this curious docu­ ment which shows the confidental relationship between Armigel Waad and Secretary Cecil, and the quaint cypher as regards their spies. Under date of September 18, 1562, Queen Elizabeth's instruc­ tions to Armigel Waad at Rye are preserved in the State Paper Office. He was ordered to take the musters of 600 soldiers at Rye, to be transported under command of Edward Ormesby, for service beyond sea. Under date of September 23, 1562, he re­ ceived similar instructions as to soldiers for service at Dieppe, this document bearing on the face of it, corrections in Secretary Cecil's handwriting. On September 26 Queen Elizabeth wrote to Sir Maurys Denys to make certain payments for a provost marshal, and for officers under him; and also to Armigill Waad, paymaster at Rye, and 2s. per diem for his clerk. There is still preserved in the English Record Office under date of September 28, 1562, an indenture of the armour, weapons, and munitions left in the charge of the Mayor of Rye by Armigill Waad, for the Queen's service. Waad, like a true Yorkshireman, seems ever tG have kept an eye open for the main chance and for his own bene• fit. Accordingly, in December, 1562, he requested a grant of the salt marshes between Lydd and the mouth -0f the Camber, with license to enclose them. That he was an extensive landowner appears from the feet of Fines for the county of Middlesex. At Michaelmas 4 and 5 Eliza­ beth (i. e., A. D. 1562), he and Anne (Merbury), his wife, con- FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES. 93 veyed lands in Kentyshtowne, St. Pancras and Hampstede, and in the following year, at Easter, Armigel Wade and his wife are parties to a fine with Sir William Cecil, Knight, Chief Secretary of the Queen, relating to premises in Kentyshtowne, Paddington and Hampstede, in the parish of St. Pancras. Jones' Index to the Recordr, 7 Elizabeth (i.e., 1565), roll 167, also refers to him as dealing with property at Lydd Promehill, in the county of Kent. On October 15, 1562, he writes from Rye to Secretary Cecil, with a muster of soldiers arrived under charge of Mr. Walgrave, that he ordered an account to be made of the armour remaining in Rye; ,vhich has given offence, as interfering with the privileges of the Lord Warden (of the Cinque Ports). And again on Octo­ ber 16 he writes to Secretary Cecil that Mr. Walgrave has sent one to London to make provision of armour, etc. That some of the band of Sir Maurys Denys have arrived, as to Mr. Winter's return from Dieppe being expected, and gives his opinion on the expedition to Newhaven. By the end of October his duties at Rye were at an end, for on the 31st John Young, Mayor of Rye, writes to Secretary Cecil that Mr. Waad had departed for London, and reporting news from Dieppe that all the captains and their forces were shipped for Newhaven, and that there had been great loss of English and Scots at Rouen. In November, 1562, Anni­ gel Waad filed his account of ceipts and disbursements when sent to Rye, by virtue of the Q een's letters, and of payments made to Sir Maurys Denys, Treas er of the Garrisons in Nor­ mandy. An evidence of Armigel aad's linguistic attainments exists in a letter preserved in the Record office from Challoner to Secretary Cecil. Under date of March 30, 1563, and in relation to two Spanish papers Challoner advises that " Mr. Hampton or Mr. Armigil Wade, so sufficient Castilians, shall well trans­ late it." Waad was scientific for those days. Indeed an English genealo­ gist has not hesistated to describe him as " probably the most learned Englishman of his day." A linguist of considerable at­ tainments we know he was from his missions. We also find he he was an inventor, for on January 25, 1565, according to ~1'111er's Fcedera, p. 805, a license was issued to Armigil Wade and William 94 THE WADE GENEALOGY. Herlle, authorizing them to manufacture sulphur and oil by a method which they had invented. The next entries of record concerning Waad are of quaint in­ terest. It seems that one, Cornelius de Alneto, or De Lannoy, who signs himself" Philosophie et Jatromathematices Doctor," had come into England and had evolved a wonderous scheme for mak­ ing gold. Elizabeth, as grasping as all the Tudors, agreed to find the materials and Cornelius de Lannoy agreed to make the gold. The correspondence is amusing, but the alchemist soon got into dur­ ance vile. Some curious letters are preserved in the MSS. of the Marquis of Salisbttry at Hatfield House, England. Under date of February 15, 1565, Waad writes to Secretary Cecil from Somer­ set Place, London : " Mr. Cornelius is presently about to write to the Queen. He seems more and more to take to heart this lately discovered act, and can by no means abide West, "the sight of whom stirreth up his colere." Is himself also much disliked by Cornelius, notwith­ standing his complaisance to him. Sees every day more and more that this proceeds from their next neighbors. Yesterday Cornelius was with her (the Princess Cecilia of Sweden), and to-day, in the - company of Montagna, meeteth her and her chaplin in accustomed place, namely, "at the Red Bull, beyond the Stylyard in Teme­ strete." His treaty with her (as Montagna says) is to get himself out of the country with all convenient speed, for which purpose he intends to offer the Queen a sum of money to let him off his first bargain, and this is the sum of their conferences. Prays Ce­ cil for God's sake to get him despatched, so that there may be no more reason to trust or make use of him, for he will undoubtedly deceive them. To satisfy Cornelius, it were not amiss that West should be ordered for the present to confine himself to the gallery where he frequently lieth, while seeming to undergo some penance, he might keep a strict watch on all Cornelius's movements." Waad writes on February 17 to Cecil "Concerning alleged malpractices by Cornelius de Alneto, and his obstinate behaviour under detention. Asks that he may be confronted by Montagna, and that the whole of the circumstances may be declared by the latter before his face for otherwise he maketh light of the whole affair." He evidently made matters uncomfortable, to say the least of it, for the alchemist for Cornelius de Alneto writes to Sir William FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES. 95

Cecil on February 22 complaining "of the restraint to which he is :subjected in not being allowed to go forth unless accompanied by Armigil Wade." On February 24 Waad writes to Sir William Cecil sending him by Signor Montagna "the copy of Cornelius' letter to the preacher, (Olaf), and the translation of his letter to the Lady Cecilia. Whatsoever happen Cornelius will say that he hath kept troth, for his promise and oath was that he would not speak with my lady nor none of her folks. It seems that his promise did not extend to writing." On March 15 Armagil Waad reports to Sir William Cecil the s~bstance of a conversation between himself and Cornelius de Alneto on the subject of the latter. holding communication with the Princess Cecilia and her household. The thrifty Yorkshire­ man also sent in an offer from " my brother Merbury " to supply French wines for the use of Her Majesty's household at 20 nobles the tun. The alchemist evidently soon desired to seek a kinder patron, for on March 23 Waad writes to Sir Willlam Cecil stating at length his reasons for suspecting that Cornelius de Alneto is about to leave the country, and suggesting various grounds on which he might be justly detained, such as his failing to perform his promises to her majesty within the given time, etc. How carefully Waad watched the luckless alchemist, appears from his letter to Sir William Cecil of March 7. Writing from Somerset Place, he says that a certain person, (clearly Cornelius de Lannoy), has arranged the plan of his departure. Waad sends particulars as to the medecine or elixir he carries with him and proposes his arrest. He also writes as to the irons for casting ingots and other things for projection he takes with him. The alchemist seems to have been a man of many inventions, for on August 7, 1565, Waad writes from his house at Belsize to Sir William Cecil, detailing the progress of the tufacture of glass and pottery under Cornelius de Lannoy, rela ing the clumsiness of the English glassmakers and recommendin the suits of Henrie Liteshowe, Mr. Prestoll and William Herle. e also incloses a note of payments made by Arm. Waad to Cornelius de Lannoy on account of the glassworks. 96 THE WADE GENEALOGY. But the fortune of this Edison in advance of his age speedily suffered a reverse. As did many another, he saw the inside of a dungeon in the Tower of London. On July 15, 1566, Armigel \Vaad writes from Belsize to Sir William Cecil, that he has repaired to the Tower and examined Mr. Cornelius (Lannoy ?), as to delay in assays of metals, etc., and sending particulars of the conversa­ tion which took place. Things began to get interesting for the alchemist by July 29, 1566, for then Armigil Waad writes to the Earl of Leicester and Sir William Cecil, that the Lieutenant of the Tower has shown him the letter inclosed, whereof he explain& the meaning of a passage. Cornelius (de Lannoy) has greatly abused the Queen. Waad inclosed a letter in Latin, from Cornelius de Lannoy to Leicester and Cecil, in which he enters into a long ex­ planation of his proceedings and begs for mercy from the Queen, acknowledging his deiinquency. How pitiful was the condition of this charlatan appears from two more of his letters, preserved in the State paper office. Under date of August 3, 1566, from the Tower of London, there is a declaration by Cornelius de Lannoy that if it shall please the Queen to release him from confinement he will without delay put in operation that wonderful elixir for making gold for her Majesty's service. The letter is in Latin and is followed by another appeal dated August 13, and addressed to the Earl of Leicester and Sir William Cecil. The only result of his appeal seems to have been a permission (or order), to continue his experiments, for on August 26, 1566, Sir Francis Jobson, Lieutenant of the Tower, (another Yorkshire man), and Armigel Waad write to Secretary Cecil that they have conferred with Cornelius (de Lannoy) on the subject of his letter, and they forward requisitions made by him for carrying on his al­ chemical operations, for which a small sum of money will be re­ quired. There seems to have been some small show of success, for on May 28, 1567, Waad writes to Secretary Cecil that he has taken order for keeping back all boats on the Thames, and for bringing Cor. (Cornelius de Lannoy), to court to-morrow. Waad describes the personal manner of his captive in detail. Waad's last letter in the State papers is dated shortly before his death and. is addressed to Secretary Cecil in favor of Mr. (Philip) Cockeram, soliciting that time may be granted to him for the payment of his t Tl) hP r.ontinued.)

By his two wives, Alice Patten and Anne Marbury, (d) he gave to the world twenty children, and after a life honorably and most conscientiously passed, died in the spring of the year r 568, when on the 20th day of June he placidly fell asleep in the Lord.

Lysons, in his Em,irons of London, Vol. II., p. 532, falls into the error of calling Armigel Waad a knight, and as erroneously states that Sir William Waad was buried at Hampstead. He says that the parish registers do not men. tion either burial, but do contain baptisms and burials of several children of Armigel and William Waad. He records in the churchyard a tomb of Abigail, wife of John (d) Anne Marbury's mother was Agnes, daughter of - Lynne of Northampton.

FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES. 99 Whorwood, Esquire, of Stourton Castle, and daughter of Sir William Waad, with the date worn off. Unfortunately, Hampstead Church was entirely rebuilt in 1745, and has been since that date, twice restored and enlarged. At the hands of the iconoclastic restorer this" faire alabaster monument" has disappeared. Nor do the church registers, which commence in 1560, afford any material assistance as to the genealogy of these Wades. Writing to the compiler as recently as March 24, 1896, the Reverend Sherard Burnaby, vicar of the parish, states that there are no entries in the baptismal registers of the name Wade or Waad. A further and extremely probable solution of Armigel Waad's unusual christian name is to be gathered from the appendix to Lower's Patronpnica Britannica. }ie defines Armigill as an ancient Teutonic personal name, formerly Hermengild, and says that the Roman Catholic Church honors a confessor called Armagill on Augnst 16. It is possible, therefore, that our ancestral hero, born in an age when Catholicism. was the state religion of England, in a district where the monks were the principal lanJowners, saw the light on August 16, and was named in honor of the Romish confessor. Armigel Waad's will was undated. It describes him as of 'Belsis in Hampsted, Middlesex, Esquire.' In it he desires to be buried •' in the chancell of Hampsted church, so nye to my late wife as may be." He devised to his son, Thomas Waad, 'his iand and house at Golding Lane and the chamber by him buylded in Graye's Inn.' To his son William he devised 'his leases of Belsye and Lavenden and his rectory of Horton Kirby in the County of Kent.' His will mentions his daughter, Joyce; his godson, Armigill Cockaram; and bis wife's daughters, Anne and J udithe Bradley. He disinherited his daughter Ann, "for her dis­ obediencies sake." Mr. Justice Southcott, Mr. Wilbrame, and his son, Robert Jones, were appointed overseers. The will was proved in the Prerogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Feb. 5, 1569-70, by William .Waad, the son IOO THE w ADE GENEALOGY, and executor, and is to be found recorded in Register 6 Lyon, in the Principal Registry of the Probate Division of the High Court of Justice, at Somerset House, Strand, London. Sir William Waad seems to have had the usual troubles of an executor and to have become involved in law suits with the Philip Cockeram mentioned in his father's will. Under August, 1568, he entered in his copy of Eberus' Calendar, and in Latin, "that he was despoiled of his patri­ mony and put out of the possession of Belsize House by authority of the Court of Exchequer, and thus most iniquitously robbed by Philip Cockeram, citizen of Lon­ don." Thomas Rawlinson, who copied Sir William Waad's notes, says of them, "falling upon Pauli Eberi Calendarium, which was Sir Wylliam Waad's' Lieutenant of the 'fower, in spare parts of the leaves left on purpose by Eberus. I find these notes: 'Upon Martin's Day I was restored to the possession of my father's estate of Bel size.'" (Rawlin­ son MS. D., 1160, fo. 61-3, in the Bodleian Library, Uni­ versity of Oxford, and by the kind courtesy of the Rev'd Dr. Macray, F. S. A). In the British Record Office are traces of this litigation. Under August, 1563, is preserved '' a declaration by William Wade of the sini.s.ter dealing of Mr. Cockerham towards hi.m, before and after the death of Mr. Wade's father," and another document dated March 27, 1571, endorsed by Lord Burghley, "between William Wade and Cockeram," sets forth the state of the debt for which Mr. Cockeram stands bound. 5.

Anne Waller, his daughter, was born 1571. The In_quisition post mortem as to Owen Waller is dated 111, Elizabeth, June 1. Anne Waller of St. Alban, Wood Street, London, first wife of Sir William Waad, "con­ spicuous in disposition, genius and family," died in the nineteenth year of her age, in childbirth, and is buried under a " Fair Marble Monument in oval," in the parish of St. Albans, Wood Street, in Cripplegate We,rd, London. Stow's Survey of London, III. 586, gives the inscription upon the tomb of Anne Waller, the first wife of Sir William Waad, as follows: " Deo Trino & Uno Opt. Max. Sacrnm, ac Aeternae Memoriae ornatissimae & laudatissimae feminae, ANNAE WALLEBJAE in Icenis oriundae. unius atq. nnicae pitrentum prolis.

Cui Placide in Ohri1:1to gentis humanae sospitatore obdormienti, hoc mortale immortalis amoris l\fonumentum conjux moestissimus posuit." Stow relates that this inscription we.s on a fair marble monument in oval on the right hand of the chancel of St. Albans Church, Wood Street, London, and that Sir Wilham Waad's tomb was there with many quarterings on its armorial escutcheon. But Sir William was buried at Manuden, Essex, and Anne Waller alone rests there. (f) There was some confusion as to Sir WH!iam Waad's second wife. Walford says he married as his second wife, a daughter of Sir Thomas Wotton, who, surviving as his widow, left Belsize to her son by her first husband, Charles Henry de Kirkhoven. Sir Bernard Burke says that Katherine, daughter of Thomas Lord Wotton. married first, Henry Lord Stanhope, secondlv, John Poliander Kirckhoven (by whom she had a son, Charles Henry Ki'.rckhoven), and thirdly, Colonel Daniel O•Neale. 102 THE w ADE GENEALOGY.

Walford's statement, as impugned by Burke, is further rendered untrustworthy by l'he Life uf Thomas Bushell (Lord Bacon's ser­ vant), which states that he married Anne, widow of Sir William Waad, Lieutenant of the Tower. This is supported by the Registers of Westminster Abbey (edited hy Colonel J. L. Chester), wherein, at page 183, we find : " Coll. Bushell buried in the Cloisters, April 24, 1074. He was married to Dame Anne, widow of Sir William Waad, Lieutenant of the Tower and Clerk of the Privy Council, who died in 1623. Dame Anne died in 1045. His former wife was Isabell. (See the Church Registers of Enstone, Oxfordshire)." The monument to the memory of Colonel Daniel O'Neale in Bough­ ton Malhe1be Church, soon disposes of Walford's theory. lt was erected by the Rt. Honorable the Countess of Chesterfield, his widow. He died 1663, aged 00, and she survived. him, dying in 1067, whereas Anne, widow of Sir William Waad. died in 1645, O'Neale was Ser­ geant Major in the 14th Regiment of the King's Army, was se:nt to the Tower by the Parliament, esca,ped in women's cloth.es, fled to the Low Countries, and thence joined the King in the Civil War. He was the only Protestant in hi!! family, the famous O'NealeR of Ulster, and his monument describes him as Postmaster General of England, Scotland and Ireland, Master of the Powder and Groome of His Majesty's Bedchamber. (g) Under date of November 4, 1015, Sir William Waad thus wrote in his copy of Pauli Eberi Calendarium: " My eldest sonne, Armi­ gill Waad, a child of great witte, modesty, pyety, and discretion above his age, deceased at the Tower, about five of the clocke in the evening, of age above seven yeares. and is buryed at Hamstead, anno Dni 1611." (Rawlin.~on ltISS. in Bodleian Library, Oxford, MS. D. 1160, fos, 61 b-3). (h) In his excellent biographical sketch of Sir William Waad in the Dictionary of National Biography, Mr. A, F. Pollard says: "The elaborate flourish Waad gave to his initial W. has been misread as W. J. (also William Gildea, s. c. w. ), and is printed as W. J. in the Acts of the P'l'i'vlJ Council, 1588-9, pa.swim; if it were not a mistake, it would he the earliest instance by more than fifty years of the use of a double christian name in England," So be it, as regards Sir William Waad, but the biographer, with a transcript of this com­ piler's notes before him, failed to notice that Sir William Waad's daughter was clearly entitled to Juvenal's quotation Tanquam habeas tria nomina (Satfre.s. V, 127), for in the Visitation of the Oountv e>f Essex in 1065 (pedigree Mordaunt of Thunderly), she is expressly described as Arnrnnia Gilda.1J Wade, and as born about 1020 would seem entitled to t.he distinction of being the first English woman to bear a double christian name. There was some reason ±or the second name, as Sir William Waad is described on his tomb as '' Superin­ tendent of the soldiery in Ireland," and Gildea we find from Lower's Patron.vmica Britannica is an Irish name and of the blood royal of Ireland. · (·i) Philip Cage of Hormead married. first, Elizabeth Thornton of Hygham, in the County of Norfolk, by whom he bad issue Robert,· John and Anne. He married secondly, Alice daughter of Sir William Waad of Mallendine (l\:Ianuden) in Essex. The Bishop of London's license for the second marriage is elated December 6, 1621, and names. the church of Stocking Pelham in the County of Hertford, as the . place of the marriage (Chester's ltlarr-iage Licenses). By the second FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES,

Sir William Waad deserves more extended treatment than the limits of a genealogy can afford or accord. He was, according to Mr. A. F. Pollard's article in the Diction­ ary of National Biography, (which gives due credit to the compiler's collections), clerk of the Privy Council, dip~o­ matist, and Lieutenant of the Tower. He received by will, one-half of the family property, his father's sons by his first wife having predeceased hin. In 1571 he was admitted a student of Gray's Inn, and a few years later, doubtless with a view to entering tlie service of the gov­ ernment, he began travelling on the continent. Waad in his copy of Eberus' Calendar supplies the exact dates of one of his journeys, if not his first one, to France. Under May he writes: "I tooke my jorney into Fraunce with Capitayne Layton, A. D. 1574, where I remayned thre yeares." Under another, May, he en~rs: "I came out of Fraunce from Tours to Greewiche (sic) Ano Dni. 1577 (Rawlinson MS., Bodleian Library). In July, 1576, he was residing at Paris, and frequently sup­ plied political information to Burg-hley, whose 'servant' he is described as being (cf. Lansdowne MSS. 23, Art. 75). He claimed familiar acquaintance with the celebrated French publicist, Jean Bodin, from whom he seems to have derived some of the news he forwarded to Bnrghley. In the autumn of 1576, Sir Amyas Paulet took Wade to Blois marringe there were issue children named, William. Anthony, Thomas, Abigail, Elizabeth and Mary. As to this family of Cage, see Chaun­ cy's History of Hertfordshire, Vol. I, p. 271. (j) John Holgate of Saffron Walden, Essex, and of the Middle Temple, gentleman, was born in 1626, and died May 5, 1673. He married first., Aune, daughter of Richard Plomer (Plummer) of Saffron Walden, gentleman, and secondly, Mary, daughter of William Waad of Battles in Essex. There was issue of the second marriage, Armigel Holgate (baptized at Saffron Walden, 1638, buried there April 4, 1(;39), Robert Holgate died young, and Anne Holgate, who married James Monteith (of the noble Scotch family of that name), died January 5, 1685. Mary (Waad) HolgatA was buried in St. Mary's Church, at Saffron Walden, April 24, 1654. under a ledger stone at the west end of the church.

(Calendar State Papers, Foreign, 1575-7,passim). During the winter of 1578-9, he was in Italy, whence he forwarded to Burgbley reports on its political condition. From Venice in April, r579, he sent the lord-treasurer fifty of the rarest kinds of seeds in Italy (Cal. H,itjield MS. II, 254). In May, he was at Florence, and in February, 1579-80, he was residing at Strasburg, furnishing Burghley with informa­ tion on the state of Germany. An abstract of one of his curious letters must suffice. It runs as follows: My desire hath been· great, and my endeavour hath not wanted, to give your Lordship some certain informations of the doings which are here in band. The which are sealed with such secrecy, and coloured with reports, a;; neither by intelligence, nor by the opinion of men, is there any knowledge to be had. So as it must be even the discourse of reason that _must open the way to conceive of these matters, whereunto and how unable I am, bv the weak­ ness of my understanding, and the small acquaintance I have of the affairs of these parts, the simpleness of my former advertisements do not dissemble. On the one side, I never do look for good where those are the intermeddlers that do deal therein; on the other, am led to think that the Duke Casimir would never have. been brought to any colloquy with the Guises, but upon hope of great matters, as he maketh preparations for all things necessary to some voyage. The French king wrote unto him to Nancy that he understood Casimir meant to trouble France again, under colour to be paid of that was owing for the last voyage, for the discharge of which the king assured him he would take present order, and to that end was already at hand to assemble the estates. The Duke George John of Liteshowe, of the Palgrave's house, doth make an army, and wrote to the late assembly that the Duke rasimir's reiters made at Magdeburg that he was to make a great levy of reiters for the service of a great Prince, ~hereto he invited them, with assurance to be well paid, and they say he shall have footmen out of France.

In the following April he was employed on some delicate mission in Paris by Sir Henry Cobham (the suggestion in the Calendar of State Papers (Venetian), that he was Ambas­ sador to Spain and Portugal in 1 579 is evidently a mistake). In 1581 he seems to have returned to England, and entered the service of Sir Francis Walsingham as secretary, and in 1583 he became one of the clerks to the Privy Council, the register of which is missing for this period (ib. Dom., 16II-18, p. 198). In April of that year he was sent to Vienna to discuss the differences between the Hause Towns and the English merchants abroad, and in July he accompanied Lord Willoughby on his embassy to Den­ mark, to invest the king with the insignia of the Garter, and to negotiate an agreement on mercantile affairs (Birch's Memoirs of the Reign of Elizabeth, Vol. I, p. 24, 31.)

Lord Chancellor Hard­ wicke had many State papers relating to Waad copied in his MSS., which are now the prvperty of the New York Public Library, and the British State Paper office contains very many of his letters and reports. But to transcribe them would be to transgress the limits of a genealogy and transform the present compilation into a biography of Sir William Waad. How prominent a figure in history Sir William Waad was appears from Froude's History of England, wherein, Vol. XI, we find that in January, 1583-4, Queen Elizabeth sent him as Ambassador to Philip II, King of Spain, at Madrid, to explain' the expulsion from England of Don Bernardino de Mendoza, the Spanish Ambassador. On his arrival at Madrid in March, Philip refused to admit Wade to his presence or to listen to any justification. A second and more pressing application for an audience was equally unsuccessful. The English Amb~ssa

The historian, S. R. Gardiner, in his pamphlet '' The Truth About Gunpowder Plot" (1897), says: "Two other letters from the Lieutenant of the Tower, written on the Fifth of November, to Salisbury, are among the Gunpowder papers. Waad, 'says Gardiner,' was after­ wards most indefatigable in all proceedings connected with the plot. He held the office of Lieutenant of the Tower for many years, but subsequently was dismissed on suspi­ cion of embezzling some jewels belonging to Lady Arabella Stuart, and his daughter was imprisoned. His name is affixed to many of the numerous depositions after­ wards taken." One of these letters (No. 13, Gunpowder Plot Book), relates to the Spaniards, and is as follows: "It may please your honourable Lordship, I thought it very fit yr. L. should know that the people in these parts do so murmur and exclaim against the Spaniards as may grow to further mutiny or disorder, if some good severe order be not taken to prevent the same. Mr. Cole dwelleth hard by, who, if your Lordship think fit, may have direc­ tions to be in readiness, if anything should be attempted, to appease the same; which I reserve to yr. Lordship's graiver judgment, and so rest ever, very humbly, At the c. of yr. h. L., W. WAAD."

The other (No. 12, Gunpowder Plot Book), seems to be a letter of congratulation, merely. The expressions Waad used are curious. "As nothing is more strange unto me than that it should enter into the thought of any man living to attempt any­ thing against a souram prince of so sourain goodness, so I thanke God on the knees of my soul that this monstrous wickedness is discovered; and I beseech God all the particularityes may be layed open and the traiterous wretches receive their deserts.

" Because I know all the gates of London are kept, I have brought all the warders into the Tower, and set a watch at the posterns and the gate of St. Katherine and at the ]anding strands." Sir William Wade also wrote to Salisbury, on November 8, 1605 (Gu,,powderPlotBook, No. 48 B.): "I find this fellow, GL1y Fawkes, who this day is in a most stubborn and perverse humour, as dogged as if he were possessed: Yesternight I had persuaded him to set down a clear narration of all his wicked plots from the first enter­ ing to the same to the end they pretended, with the discourses and projects that were thought upon amongst them, which he undertook (to do), and craved time this this night to bethink him the better; but this morning he hath changed his mind and is (so) su11en and obstinate as there is no dealing with him." Guy Fawkes' confession is dated the ninth of November, and is witnessed by Sir Edward Coke, Sir William Waad and Forsett. Winter's confession is dated November 23; 1605, and is attested by Sir William Waad. There is noth­ ing to show th~t Winter's evidence was procured by torture, except a letter of Waad's, written November 21, in which he says: "Thos. Winter doth find himself his hand so strong as after dinner he wi11 settle himself to write that he hath verbally declared to yr. Lordship, adding that which he sha11 remember." But Winter had been wounded in the shoulder at Holbeach House and the improvement may refer to the state of this wound. The fu]l text of that curious document, the confession of Guy Fawkes was reproduced in facsimile in the London Graphic of November 4, 1893, and runs as follows: "The exaiation of guido fauke taken this 9 of Jan., 1605 :--' He confesseth that Mr. Catesby tould this exaiat that Sir Ede Bayneham was derected by him to goe to the Pope and to acquaint him with the hard estate of the II2 · THE wADE GENEALOGY.

Granger says \,Vaad was a man of great learning, gener­ osity and benevolence, who had been employed by Queen Elizabeth in several embassies, and that he was removed from the Lieutenancy of the Tower, to make way for Sir Gervase El ways, a man of a pro?titute character, who was the chief instrument in poisoning Sir Thomas Overbury.

Polity" [Richard Hooker (1553-1600) "the Judicious He r, •· author of The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity (, 594) :] and to his charge, Gruter's Inscriptions. "This excellent man," says a contemporary, "employed a faithful and judicious friend to admonish him of every­ thing that he saw amiss in his conduct.'' That he was of the goodly company of learned men of those days appears from the pen of Nicholas, who, in his Life of TVilliam Dai•ison (secretary to Queen Elizabeth), p. 215, also quotes a letter from Francis Davison to his father William Davison, wherein he '' d~sires to be recommended to Mr. Anthony and Mr. Francis Bacon" [Anthony and Francis Bacon are, of course, the famous Francis Bacon, Baron Verulam, Viscount St. Alban (r56r-1626), and his brother], "and Mr. Wade and thP- rest of my dear and honorable friends."

Sir William Waad, subscribed £75 to the funds of the Virginia Company, and actually paid £144, 10s. He was one of those who purchased the Somers Islands (the modern Bermudas), from the Virginia Company on November 25, 1612, and resigned them to the Crown of England, Novem­ ber 23, 1614. How important a factor he was in the early colonization of Virginia fully appears from a perusal of Alexander Brown's Genesis of the United States, and the Calendar o.f the . State Papers. We find that Zuniga, the Spanish Ambassa­ dor at the English Court, seldom forwarded a report to his master, without referring to the acts or sayings "of the Knight Wed," as he styled Sir William Waad, who was a :Member of Council for Virginia in i:606, and a Mem­ ber of Council for the Virginia Company in 1609. Sir William Waad was one of the chief agents in ferreting out the Powder Plot (Jardine. Gunpowder Plot; Gerard, IFhat was the Gunpowder Plot? and Gardiner, What Gu11- powder Plot was, passim). 'iVaad's treachery in so doing, however, rests on most inconclusive evidence. Mural inscriptions placed by Waad in the Powder Plot room in . the Queen's house of the Tower of London, commemorate the plot and are still extant (Gerard, pp. 264, 267). This [8] I q. TttF, vV.u>E GENEALOGY. memorial in the form of a panel on the wall, embellished with Waad's own armorial achievements(/), is in the shape of a long pious prayer-pagan in form and far from class­ ical in style. It sets forth the virtues and dignities of those who were to have suffered from the explosion, and concludes with a votive offering from the Lieutenant of the Tower, and is here reproduced. For the curious, the inscription-the work of a time­ serving prototype of Doctor Pangloss-can be found in its entirety in Brayley's History of tlze Tower of London. In English, its concluding paragraphs, wherein the worthy Lieutenant uses Greek and Hebrew, as well as Latin, run as follows : •; To Almighty God, the guardian arrestor and avenger -Who has punished this great and incredible conspiracy against our most merciful Lord the King, our most serene Lady the Queen, our divinely disposed Prince, and the rest of our Royal House, & against all persons of quality, our ancient nobility, our soldiers, prelates & judges; the authors and advocates of which conspiracy, Romanized Jesuits of perfidious Catholic religion, and by the treason­ ous hope of overthrowing the Kingdom, root and branch; and which was suddenly, wonderfully and divinely de­ tected, at the very moment when the ruin was impending, on the 5th day of November, in the year of grace, 1605.­ William Waad, whom the King has appointed his Lieuten­ ant of the Tower, returns on the ninth of October, in the 6th year of the reign of James I, 1608, his great and ever­ lasting thanks." We find from The Dalb'son himz'ly Papers that Sir William Waacl had as deputies at the Tower, Sir Roger Dallison, Sir John Kay and Edward Forsett. In 1608 he was granted a month's leave of absence. On July 6, and again in r6ro, (l) 'rhese arms appear in the Vi8itation of London b;I/ Robert Cooke, G'larencieux, in 1568, as foJ}ows: Quarterly, 1 Azure, a salt­ ire, between -1 escallops, or. 2, or a chevron, between 3 eagles' heads, ernsed sable. 3, Gules, 2 garbs, or. 4, Azure, two bars, argent, on a chief of the last, 3 maunches, gules. A reproduction of the panel in question is to be found in Archaeolo,qia, Vol. XII. FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES. IIS

July 18, the same period of leave of absence was given him. William Hepworth Dixon ( Her Majest,y's Tower) makes many references to Waad and his unpopularity with his prison­ ers. But jailers, as a rule, are unpopular with their charges, and Waad's subserviency was a national fault rather than an individual failing, in the days of the divine right of Kings. In 1613, he was dismissed from the Lieutenancy of the Tower. The closeness with which he guarded Sir Thomas Overbury and his own integrity proved inconvenient to the Countess of Essex. He was charged with carelessness in guarding his prisoners, with allowing Arabella Stuart the use of a key, and even with embezzling her jewels. These were mere pretexts, and in May, 1613, Waad was forced to give way to a more complaisant lieutenant in the person of Sir Gervase Helwys (Calendar of State Papers, Dom., Vol. LXXI, p. 84; Amos, Great Oyer of Poisoning, p. 107; Gard­ iner, Vol. II, p. 179). On 23 August he also resigned his· patent as clerk of the Privy Council. Henceforth Waad lived in- retirement at Belsize House, Hampstead, and at his house, Battles Hall, near Manuden, Essex. Wright's History of tlu County of Essex (Vol. II, p. 206), in dealing with the parish of Manuden, says: "Sir William Waad, Kt., erected the manor house of Battails (now Battles), which is about a mile from the church. The name is understood to be from a more ancient family who had possessions in Little Chishall and other places in the county, and some of whom were formerly resident in this parish. From these the estate descended to the families of Findern and Heron and to Roger Townshend, Esq., of whom it was purchased by Owen Waller of the family of · that name, of Parham in Suffolk, after whose decease, in 1574, his daughter and heiress, Anne, was married to Sir William Waade, Knight, many years Clerk of the Council to Queen Elizabeth and King James the First. A particular account of Sir William is given in the inscrip­ tion on his monument in Manuden Church." THE w ADE GENEALOGY.

Sir William Wade, as we have said, died at Battailes­ Wade (now called Battles Hall), in the parish of Manuden, in the County of Essex, on October 21, 1623, and in St. Mary's Church, Mauuden, in the north aisle, is a mural monument bearing a Latin inscription in gold letters, of which the following is a translation:

"Srn W1LLIAM W AAD, Knight, son of Armigild, Secretary to the Lady Elizabeth's Privy Council many years, sent once to the Emperor Rudo1phus and to Philip of Spain, and to Henry IIL, King of France, thrice to Henry IV. of France and Navarre, and once to Mary, Queen of Scotland, on various occasions of the greatest importance. Commis­ sary-General of England and Superintendent of the Sol­ diery in Ireland, and also Secretary to the Privy Council of our most serene Lord King James, and Lieutenant of the London Tower eight years. Afterwards living privately and religiously till his 77th year, and died at his manor of Battailes-Wade in the county of Essex on t1.e 21st day of October, in the year of our Lord, 1623. You that have place and charge from prince's trust, Which honours may make thankful, no't unjust, Draw near and set your conscience and your care By this true watch of State; whose minutes were Religious thoughts; whose bowers heaven's sacred food; Whose hand still pointed to the kingdom's good, And sovereign's safety; Whom ambition's key Never wound up to guiltiness,· bribe or fee. Zeale only, and a conscience cleare and even Raysed him on earth and wound him up to Heaven." The monument is surmounted by an achievement of Sir William Wade's arms, with the various marriages quar­ tered and marshalled, as depicted in the illustration used as frontispiece to the first part of this book. Having fallen into decay, it was recently and very handsomely restored at . the cost of William de Vins Wade, Esquire, of Great Dun­ mow, Essex, a descendant of this family. Two portraits of Waad are known, one anonymous, engraved by Jenner, both being reproduced in half-tone engraving in· the present book. His first wife's property, in East Ham, involved Waad in prolonged litigation (Acts P. C., 1586-7, p. 235).

In the MS,S. of the Right Honorable the Earl of Leicester, at Holkham Hall, in the county of Norfolk, is a collection of curious epigrams written by the Reverend Thomas Porter of Hemnall, in Norfolk, about 1623. The compiler desires to thank that courteous nobleman and his able librarian for the subjoined curiosity from the Porter collec­ tion, namely an epigram on Sir William Wade:- Gul; Wade: Militi amico eximo, Virtutem in cedis magna stipante caterna.

The frequent entries of the name of Wade in the regis­ ters of St. Mary's Chapel at Conistone, in the parish of Burnsall, Deanery of Craven, West Riding, of the County of York, leads one to suppose that a careful series of ab­ stracts of the Wade wills at York, Lancaster, Ripon and Carlisle, would develop the ancestry of Armigel Wade. Failing to interest his reputed descendants and in the (faint} hope of others following up his researches, the compiler prints the entries of Wade in the early Conistone Registers, followed by a list of the early Wade wills at York.

Feb. 24, 1790, aged 24. The Reverend William Wade was instituted as Vicar of Braughing, July 8, 1761, on the presentation of Jacob Houblon, Esquire. He may have been. the son of the Reverend William Wade, LL. B .. Vicar of the nearby church of Standon, in the same County of Hertford, pre­ sented to the living, March 15, 1719 (on the death of his father, the Reverend John Wade, who had been Vicar of Standon from October 21, r670), and who d_ied in 1728. A monumental inscription in Braughing Church reads as follows: '' Depositum corpus W. Wade, Braughing, viginti annos Vicar, qui morti succubuit Ao., 1780, et aet. suae 5 r. M.ultis ille bonis fl.ebilis occidit, nulli flebilior quam conjugi charae. Near this is also interred his daughter Mary, who died A. D. 1 778, aetate 7 months. Likewise, the Reverend William Wade, second son of the aforesaid William Wade, who died Fehruary 24, 1790, aetate 24. · (1·) It is a matter of sincere re~ret to the compiler that he could not persuade the living members of this family to ascertain from the publio reoords of England the ancestry of this William Wade. Especie,Uy is this so. as the possession of the Wade Horn, and the use of the peculiar christian name Armigel. fortify the family tradi­ tion of a descent from Armigel. But the Wades are peculiar people. It will- hardly be credited by future generations that of five thousand living Wades (for the compiler has a mailing list of that number), over 4500 had not the courtesy to reply to two or three circulars, while of the less than 500 subscribers, fewer than 25 bore any part of the serious cost of compilation and publishing. Indeed some even forgot to pay for their copies of the book, F ,urous ENGLISH vVAnEs.

Also Margaret Wade, widow of the aforesaid William Wade, formerly Vicar of this parish. She deceased April 28, 1798, aetate 60." A William Wade, B. D., was presented to the living of Lilley in Hertfordshire, on July 17, 1798, by St. John's College, Cam bridge. While there is no proof of a lineal or collateral relation­ ship to Armigel or Sir Wi11iam \Vade, there is more than a mere probability. I am inclined to believe these Wades descend from Thoma~ ·wade, son of Armigil and a Reader in the Law. From au early date there were Wades at or near Braughing. In the church of the adjoining parish of Standon, under the effigies of a man in armor, are these arms and this inscription in black Jetter : Arms: -- on a bend--, 3 hawks' lures--, within a bordure--, charged with roundlets. "Thy lymes, 0 Wade yt lately death hath slaine Under thys stone entered here remaine, Thy sowll;l discharged of her bourden great, Hath made her flight tJp God in his high state, Thou doost conqueref and yet conquered art; Death yeld to thee, and thou unto Death's dart; Thy bodie is to greedye worms a prey, Thy sowle with God in Heaven dwell alway. Vivit post funera virtus The IV.th day of Septemb., ann. MDcVVII (1557). This (Guy) Wade was probably the same man who, on September 13, 155r, was rE:fused a joirlt patent with Sir Mauryce Dennp,, in the office of Chirographer, and who, on August q, 1553, and described as of the Inner Temple, gave bond in ,£100 to the Star Chamber to appear before the Privy Council and answer charges (See Dasent's Acts of the Prii~v Council). A fragmentary pedigree appears later.

Of this horn he is only able to say that it has been banded d_own as an heirloom for several generations, but for how many he is not informed, that it bears the inscriptions "Wada, 8th centu­ ry, Waad, 16th century, Wade;" and that no zoologist has examined it to determine if it be rhinosceros horn. To the curious, the association of family fortunes with horns will recall the Horn of Uhland, The Luck of Edenhall, and the Oldenburg Horn (a replica of which last given by a generous-merchant prince of New York, Edward Kemp, forms one of the most valued trophies of the 7th Regiment of National Guai:d of the State of New York). All these have an elfin donor as an origin, and the Wade Horn a Scandinavian Saga as sponsor.

WADE OF KINGECROSSE, YORKSHIRE. That another and notable family of Wades was early settled in Yorkshire appears from the Visitation of that county made by Sir William Dugdale in 1665. (See Surtees Socie(1•, Vol. XXXVI, p. 32, 1'/u Genealogist, Vol. XIII, pp. 112-1 IS, and Thoresby's Histor_r of Leeds, md Edition. 1816, p. 153). Thoresby says, under New Grange: "The pleasant seat of Benjamin Wade, Esquire, Justice of the Peace for the "\Vest Riding. The house was built by a predecessor of both his names in 1626, who placed this inscription on the front: ' Except the Lord build the house they labour in vain that build it. It is the Lord that keeps thee going out and in. B. W. 1626.' Over the north door, where the poor received their alms, is engraven: '' If thou shalt find a house built to thy mind, without thy cost, Serve thou the more Goel and the poor. My labour is not lost." This family of New Grange was so remakably zealous in the service of King Charles I, that they sold £500 per annum to serve those occasions. In 1752, "\iValter Wade, Esquire, rebuilt the house." Thoresby commences his pedigree of Wade with one John Wade of Coventry as the common ancestor, but adduces no authority for his statement. For arms he assigns to these Wades: Azure, within a bordure, argent, upon a bend. or, two gillyflowers proper. On turning to the Herald's Visitation, as amplified by Mr. J. W. Clay, F. S. A., in Tlte Genealogist, we find the following arms and pedigree: Skyrack Wapentake. Leeds, 4 Apr., 1666.

By his will, in i 821, he founded several' charities at Chapel Allerton. Parson's History of Lee,is, 2 Vols. (1834), p. 97, supplies an early instance of the name in stating that Thomas Wade, by his will dated in 1530, left a portion of his estate for the repair of roads around Leeds. The parish of Harewood, eight miles north of Leeds, also has a charity funrl called Wade"s charity.

THE WADES OF THE WEST COUNTRY. Of high antiquity indeed was the Wade Family of Corn­ wall and Devonshire, antedating in this beauteous Beer­ sheba of England, all records of the Northumbrian and Yorkshire houses. Holding as a family tradition a lineal descent from the Hebrew patriarch Benjamin ( !), the Tm: WAnE GF:NEALOGY. family is traceable in the earliest records of the County of Cornwall, settling there shortlY. after its conquest by King Egbert, in the early part of the ninth century. That the vVades were men of note and prominence in the west counlry, is evident from the fact that \Vadelus, a Saxon, owned Wadefaste, in the parish of Whitstone, Cornwall, at the time of Edward the Confessor. The place is now called vVadfast. Dunkin's Cornislt Brasses informs us that Wadebridge in Cornwall, was anciently called Wade's Bridge, the reason being supplied by William of Worces­ ter, in his Jtinerar_y (written about A. D. 1350), in the statement that vVaclebridge, a bridge of seventeen arches (over the river Camel), was situated near t/J tlte ma11or house of Wade. It seems that the elder branch of this family was settled at Week St. Mary, Jacobstowe and Warbstowe, in North Cornwall, for many centuries and from Saxon times until its sole representative, John ·wade, removed to Redruth, in the west of the same county. Sir John Maclean, 'in his Histo1:r of tl1e Deanery of Trigg Jlfi11or; C(}r11wall (Vol. III, p. 267), makes the following reference to the \V ades :-- ,; The family of Wade has held a reputable position in this district from a remote antiquity. William Wade was amerced to the subsidy in the parish of St. Advent in 1327. John Wade and Joanna, his wife, suffered a fine in certain lands in Camel ford and Tregewe, in 1439. Henry Wade, as a kinsman and heir of John Trefrew, held lands of the manor of Helston in Trigg. l\fary, relict of Henry Wade, married John Billing of Hengar, who in 1539, held in her right, lands of the same manor in Michaelstowe. John \Vade was a trustee of lands oi William Carmynowe of· St. Kew. in 1523, and was probably the same man who was Vicar of Michaelstowe in 1536, and was buried there in i562. Henry Wade, in 1524, was amerced to the sub­ sidy in the parish of Michaelstowe, and one of the same name in St. Teath. John Wadde was in Tintagel, as was also one of the same name in r 543. Walter Wade held a OLA.UDE FITZROY WADE, Esquire. Barrister at law. Son of Sir Claude Martine Wade, K. C. B. (Irish family.)

Anthony Wade was buried at Tintagel in 1667. Pentecost Wade was a juror of the Assession Court of the manor of Tintagel in 1617, at which time he held in 'right of his wife Jane, after the death of her former husband, John Symons, of that manor, part of Trewis. John ·wade, born 1614, had two sons, Ambrose (bnrgess of Camelford, r66r, Mayor 1684, his wife Margaret was bnried at Lanteglos in 1680). and William, who had two sons, John and William. The issue of this John became extinct in the male line in his son, William (Mayor of Bod min in q56). '' In Lanteglos churchyard, Cornwall, is a stone inscribed in double lines, formerly an altar tomb in the churchyard. The inscription reads : Here lyeth ye body of Ambrose Wade, who died the X day of March in the yere of our Lord anno 1669. Here lyeth ye body of Margaret Wade, ye wife of Ambrose Wade, who died the 3th of November in the year of our Lord God anno 1680. By Faith so ferm, by Hope so bold By Love so true, Wee Christ be-hold. In St. Advent churchyard, a broken slab, removed from the church, is circumscribed in capital letters: "Here Heth the body of Anthony Wade, deceased, which was buried the twentieth day of May, anno Domini 1667."

WADE OF HLTON, GLOUCESTERSHIRE. To the researches of David Treharne Newton-Wade of Newport, Monmouthshire, Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Judicature in England, the compiler is indebted for this extended pedigree of an ancient and honorable West Country branch of the family. To this branch belonged an early Mayor of Bristol, an officer and confidant of stern Oliver CromweII, and Colonel Nathaniel Wade, the ill-fated Monmouth's companion in arms at Sedgmoor. It com­ prises men who saw the "circuit of the Shambles," and heard the Butcher Jeffreys fulminate against the West Country's "Tylees, Roes and Wades" (Roberts' Lzfe of the .Duke of ilfonmouth). Quoting Mr. Newton-Wade, the account runs as follows : The Wade Family of Filton, in the County of Glouces­ ter, is of considerable antiquity. It will be seen from the following pedigree that descent is traced from Thomas Wade of Fiiton. living in 1560. The arms borne by the family are, azure on a saltire, between 4 fleur de Iis, or, 5 escallops of the field. The date of the grant of these arms cannot be traced, but they have always been borne by the [10] THF. w ADE GENEALOGY.

Wade Family of Filton as appears from the seals on several ancient ·deeds relating to the Manor of Blaisdon, in the County of Gloucester, at one time belonging to the family, and by monuments in the churches of Frampton-on-Severn and Henbury, in the County of Gloucester, recording the deaths of members of the family. The following confirmation of such arms and grant of a crest, appears in the Harleian MS., 1470, folios 49-161, in the British Museum, and also in the College of Arms in London, viz : "To all Nobles and Gentles to whom these presents shall come : William Camden, Esquire. alias Clarencieux, King of Armes of the South East and West parts of this Realme of England from the River of Trent Southwards sendeth this due commendation and greeting : . Know ye Whereas auntiently from the beginning it hath byn a custome in all cuntryes and common wealthes well gouverned that the bearying of certaine markes in shields commonly called Armes have byn and are the liuely signes and demonstra­ tions either of proess and valour atcheived in the feild by martiall men in tymes of Warre or ells the rewardes of virtue for the good lyfe and conwersation of others in tymes of Peace.

Whether the Wades of Filton were a branch of the family of Wades of Bilston,Suffolk, has not been ascertained, but at present it is surmised that the Thomas Wade, the fourth-son of Robert Wade of Bilston above mentioned, is one and the same person as Thomas Wade, the ancestor of the Wades of Filton mentioned in the following pedigree, and for the following reason, viz :-In an Indenture of Lease & Release dated :26 August 1680 and made between John Wade late of _the Wyke in the parish of Arlingham and then of the City of Gloucester Esq. of the 1st part William Rowles of The Cockshut and Thomas Pyeke of Little Dean of the :znd part, Thomas Wade of the City of Gloucester son of said John Wade of the 3rd part, Anna Dunch of Radcott in Oxfordshire, Spinster, one of the daughters of John Dunch late of Pusey in Berkshire Esquire deceased of fourth_ part, and Oliver Cromwell of Hursley in the county of Southampton Esquire and Humphrey Gunter of Radcot aforesaid Gentleman of the 5th part; certain lands in Gloucestershire were settled upon tlw said Thomas Wade and Anne Durich, the said Oliver Cromwell and Humphrey Gunter being Trustees. It is supposed that this Humphrey Gunter was a descendant of the Sir William Gunter who married Mary Wade of Bilston, mentioned in the above pedigree.

The follow­ ing also appears in the Bristol Corporation Records, viz.: "For as much as the aforesaid Mayor (Wade) not being an austere man, did incline to Lollardism, which gave great offence and to let his influence, the Chamber revived an 'Act· 'that no person shall be Mayor more than once' having more regard for their own private fancies and inter­ est than for that only they owe to the public, the which I have noted oft' times unbeknowing the cause thereof."

John Chaloner, the regicide, in his Short Treatise on the Isle of Man (1653), p. 16, states that Major Wade was then Governor of the Isle of Man, He died between August, 1680, and March, 168r.

Wade was Overseer and Receiver of Rents and Profits of bis ~ajesty's Iron Works in the Forest of Dean in 1659, but in June, 1660, it appears from a State paper that Sir Hugh Middleton, Baronet, petitions "for the place of Overseer then held by Major John Wade, Commander of the County Troop in Gloucester" on the ground that Major Wade had the previous July kept Middleton 4 months in close imprisonment for adhering to his Majesty and had several times ransacked his house. It is unfortunate that there is no existing record to show the date and place of burial of Major Wade. According to family tradition he was buried in Filton Church and a stone coffin in the Church which was dug up many years ago was always thought by the family to have been the Major's coffin but the age for stone coffins was long prior to the Major's time.

One of Fil ton Church Bells, cast in q 34 1 bears the name " Major Wade" inscribed on it, and is supposed to have been cast in memory of the Major. It appears from the Title Deeds relating to the Blaisdon THE Vv' ADE GENEALOGY.

As a young lawyer of the country party, and a frequenter, it would appear, of the Green Ribbon Club, he had some dealings with Richard Rumbold and other insurgent ''republicans" in the spring of 1683. He was suspected of complicity in the Rye House Plot, and on the 23 June, a reward of £100 was offered for his apprehension, together with Rumbold, John Rumsey, Richard Goodenough, and some other plotters. Three witnesses were found to give evidence against him, but he escaped to Holland, where · he spent two years in an at­ mosphere of whig intrigue, and according to his own aCCOJ:!llt, acted as an emissary between Monmouth and Archibald Campbell, ninth Earl of Argyll. He sailed with .Monmouth at thfl end of May, 1685, and landed at Lyme Regis on 11 June. Three days later he marched with Forde Grey, Earl of Tankerville, in the direction of Bridport, at the head of about three hundred infantry and took part in an indecisive and shambling encounter with the Dorset militia (London Gazette, 18 June, 1685). At 160 THE WADE GENEALOGY.

Taunton he first opposed Monmouth proclaiming himself King, but he subsequently overcame his republican scruples, fighting in the van at Sedgemoor as Colonel of Monmouth's regiment. A good pen picture of Wade appears in A. Conan Doyle's Mt"cah Clarke. For a man bred to civic pursuits, he seems to have had in an unusual degree, that sort of ability and nerve which make a good soldier. Commanding the infantry at the Battle of Sedgemoor, and in the several skirmishes prior to that event, he appears to have displayed great bravery, thus affording a contrast to Lord Grey. At the battle of Sedge­ moor his regiment made a most stubborn resistance and were the last to give in, and only then for the want of ammunition (y). After the Battle of Sedgemoor he fled to Ilfracombe with fifty others, where they seized a vessel and put to &ea, but were forced ashore again by two frigates. He was taken prisoner at Brendon, in Devonshire, on Saturday, July 26, 1685, by Richard Powell, the Rector of the Parish, who was paid £100 for his work. Wade was hiding at a farm called Farley, and, on Powell with others approaching to arrest him, he attempted to escape, but was shot through the back. He was disguised. On his head he had an ordinary hat, grey clothes, leather stockings, the soles of his shoes three inches thick and great nails in them. The Rector stated: " I took up his coat to see where the bullet lodged, and found that he had a good holland shirt on his back. I told him that this shirt did not belong to those clothes. He said his name was John Lane, but when his wound became worse he disclosed his proper one" (z). When lying wounded he promised to make a full discov­ ery of all he knew if thereby he would get his pardon (a).

He was taken to London and imprisoned in Newgate, where James II visited him for the purpose of inducing him to give up the names of the persons connected with the Rebellion. Some of Wade's relatives, however, contrived to send him in the plaits of his linen, which was washed in the City, the names of those who were beheaded, and these he gave to the King, of course, without injury to any one. "Your friends, Major Wade," said the King, "have long been with the dead," and finding he could learn no more from him, and probably thinking that Wade had given him what information he could, the King pardoned him (b). :Nathaniel Wade's Confessions, in his own handwriting, are dated from Windsor the 4th October, 1685, and are to be found among the Harleian MSS. in the British Museum. Macaulay quotes largely from them in his History of that period. He gave evidence against Henry Booth, Lord Delamere (afterwards Earl of Warrington), and doubtless aided the crown prosecutions in some other cases. (Howell, State Trials, Vol. III, p. 542 ). · In January, 1687, James, anxious to win the good opin­ ion of the dissenters, sent him to Bristol with the order of the council, for the ''remodelling" of tJie corporation, and he presented his special commission under the privy seal to the Mayor on 4 February. In a second document, setting forth the new appointments, Wade himself, by way of reward, was nominated clerk of the city. His tenure of office did not survive the events of the following October, when John Romsey was reinstated (I7 October); but he seems to have retained some position in Bristol, as in Queen Anne's charter to the city of 24 July, 17 rn, he was confirmed in his office of steward of the sheriff's court. In 1714, he beaded the militia at Bristol against the Kings wood colliers. He resigned his municipal post after upwards of six years' service, early in 1712.

Bristol, long known as the "Traitor's Bridge " Wade died early in 1718, and was buried on 14 March, 1717-18, "at the foot of Mrs. Noble's tombstone," in Redcroas street burial ground (Register). He was granted a commission as Major. by Monmouth •'on ship-board," and he was spoken of in his later years as "Major Wade." Nathaniel Wade appears at one time to have formed a project with John Ayloffe, William Penn, Thomas Merry and others, of emigrating to New Jersey, where he ex­ pected to find or establish institutions better suited to his tastes than those of England. His brother, is alleged by some, to have gone to Pennsylvania about thfl time of the Rye-House Plot. sailing with William Penn on board the ship "Welcome," from Deal, on the 30th August, 1682. In his Confessions in the Lansdowne MSS., Wade says: "The persons to have gone to America wert! John Ayloffe, Roger, a Quaker; myself, Thomas Merry. The seven to have been concerned in the plantation as propri­ etors were Edmund Walker, Edward Norton, Richard Nel­ thorp, John Freke, Thomas Merry, Robert West, William Penn and several other Quakers;" and taking this statement of intention as an actual fact, careless writers on the his­ tory of Woodbridge, New Jersey, have attt!mpted to iden- · tify an early clergyman who had some dispute with a congregation there as Colonel Nathaniel Wade. The error is too patent to require more than mention.

THE WADES OF IRELAND.

Having now stated all that careful research has disclosed as to the Wades settled in the North and West .portions of England, it becomes appropriate to refer .to the branch of this family which emigrated to Ireland at an early date. Let one point be clearly understood, Wade is as Sax0n as Saxon can be. .The Irish Wades are either the def.cendants of English, who settled in Ireland, or the representatives of Irish peasantry who, existing without surnames as late as the reign of Henry VIII, adopted the name of one of their conquerors. Cold comfort as this may be to the Nationalist believers in a sept of Mc Wades, the proposition will be self-evident to every student of etymology. Be the source what it may, bright indeed is the escutch­ eon of the Irish Wades. On the roll of great men and doers of great deeds, we find Field Marshal General George Wade, the pacificator of the Scottish clans and the buil~er of the famous Highland Roads. FAMOUS ENGLISH w ADES. qr

Noteworthy is the tendency to militarism-that bugbear of the timorous Colonel Bryan--for the;;e Irish Wndes were nearly al ways soldiers of distinction. We find on the British Army List, in addition to the Field Marshal, that dashing soldier and briIIiant diplo­ matist, Sir Claude Martine Wade. Son of a gallant East India Company's officer, his fame rests securely and very high as the first European to force the frowning Khyber Pass, and as the man who for years kept peace "beyond the border" of the British India of that day. Nor is the Westmeath branch of the house a whit behind. Its bright particul_ar star is Colonel Sir Thomas Francis Wade, the famous Chinese linguist and British Ambassa­ dor to China. Melody claims a representation as well as martial ardor, and finds it in Joseph Augustine Wade, self-taught and his own worst enemy; his "Meet me by Moonlight Alone," will be a classic when his penniless, drunken end has been charitably forgotten. The science of botany has its representative in Walter · Wade (died 1825), the author of the first systematic ar­ rangement of the flora of that Niobe of isles, and who first diffused a general taste for botany in Ireland. Religion had her minister also in the person of William Wade, canon of Windsor, a brother of the Field Marshal, to whose virtues and modesty a memorial tablet, in the Chapel Royal at Windsor, bears witness. Lastly, medicine is to-day represented by Sir Willoughby Francis Wade, who stands high as an authority among the English-speaking disciples of Aesculapius. Socially also, the Wades settled in Ireland were prom­ inent, so much so as to lead the kindly-intentioned Ulster King of Arms, Sir Bernard Burke, to furnish them with a pedigree of great antiquity. Ingeniously, but not ingenu­ ously, did he essay in the earlier editions of his Landed · Gentry to '' Take all the remarkable Wades out of history Mingle them np in Hibernian tune." THE WADE GENEALOGY.

As a curiosity in genealogy (?) his statements are worth preserving. He wrote as follows:-'' Wade of Westmeath. This family claims to be of Saxon origin and to have been early lo::ated in the County of Northumberland. It became afterwards settled at Glastonbury, in the County of Som­ erset, and was there resident in the fourteenth century. From the Glastonbury branch descended Sir (sic) Armigal Wade of Belsize. in Middlesex, who was clerk of the council tempore Edward VI. Sir William Wade, who in 1584, was Ambassador to Spain from Queen Elizabeth, and subse­ quently Lieutenant of the Tower of London as late as the year 1609. Sir William's son, William Wade, established himself at Tangier in Africa as a merchant, but returned to England previously to his death .. His son, William Wade, who held the rank of Major in the army of the Common­ wealth, obtained a grant of land in Westmeath and in the King's County in 1653." Burke concludes by placing Field Marshal George Wade as the grandson of Major William Wade, and tracing the later generations of the family in Westmeath. Let us examine this farrago of weird and wondrous make .. In the first place, no Wades have been traced in Northumberland, other than in the references made on pages 28 and 32 of this work. Wade of Northumberland verges on the era of myth, and deserves a place beside Thackeray's immortal ancestor of the Hugginses, " Hogyn Mogyn of the Hundred 'Beeves." The Kilnsea Wades were Yorkshire people at the Battle of Flodden Field (1513), and before that, as early as 1379, were settled in the Kilnsea district. Glastonbury, which is to Kilnsea as Beersheba was to Dan, never boasted of any Wades, and the Wades of Filton, Henbury, and Frampton, all near to the "Severn Sea," are, clearly of no kin to the Wades of Kilnsea. \.Vade is a name man derives from the face of nature, ati

Lastly, there is not a scintilla of proof that Major Wil­ liam Wade of the Commonwealth Army was of the Kilnsea Wades. On the contrary, the Kilnsea folk were Royalists, as some of them found to their cost. There is no trace of a William Wade as son of Sir William, and both Morant and Wright, the historians of Essex, fail to notice such a person. Nor will the dates fit. Sir William Wade died in 1623, leaving one son, born in 1611. Burke would have us believe that Field Marshal George Wade, (who certainly was born in 1673), was the great grandson of William Wade, the Tangier merchant, son of Sir William. Now James Wade, the eldest son of Sir William Wade, was not born until 1611, and if each descendant had had a son at 20 years of age, the time would sti11 be too short for the Field Marshal to be of this family. It is to be regretted that no information hereon can be obtained from the reverend-gentleman at present Vicar of Manuden, Essex, as to entries in his registers. Repeated letters have failed to elicit the courtesy of a reply, so that it is charitable to presume that the wife of some predeces­ sor in the vicarage has, (as occurred in other parishes), used the vellum leaves of the old registers to cover fruit and pickle jars. So far as ascertained, the pedigree of Wade of West­ meath follows:- .

(ieorge Wade was appointed Ensign in Captain Richard Trevannion's Company in the Earl of Bath's Regiment (10th foot) on December 26, 1690. There is a tradition in the Wade family that the future Field Marshal served at the battle of Aughrim. This is most improbable, as Lord Bath's Regiment was in the Channel Islands in July, 1691, whence it was sent to Flanders the same year. In August, 169z, Wade served with his regiment at Steinkirk, and was promoted Lieutenant on Februaty ro, 1692-3. On April r9, 1694, he was promoted Captain-Lieutenant, and on June 13, 1695, was appointed Captain of the grenadier company. On the breaking 011t of the war with France in 1 702, Sir Bevil Granville's (late Lord Bath's) Regiment was in Flan­ ders, and Wade served with his corps at the sieges of Kaiserswerth,· Venlo, and Roermond, also in the action with the French near Nimeguen. In the autumn of 1702, Captain Wade served at the siege of Liege. It is recorded that his grenadiers greatly dis­ tinguished themselves in storming and carrying the citadel, one of the strongest fortifications in Flanders. On March 20, 1703, Wade was promoted Major, and in August of the same year served at the siege and capture of Huy. On October 25, 1703, he succeeded to the Lieutenant Colonelcy of his regiment, and in 1704, volunteered for service in Por­ tugal, whither a British contingent was about to be despatched under the Earl of Galway. Through Galway's influence,. Wade received the staff appointment of Adjutant General in Portugal, with the brevet rank of Colonel, on August 27, 1704. In the spring of 1705, Galway laid siege to the frontier town Valencia d'Alcantara, which was car- 176 THE w ADE GENEALOGY. ried by storm on May 8. At this siege Colonel Robert Duncanson, Colonel of the regiment (now known as the 33d foot). was killed, and the Colonelcy was bestowed on Wade. On April 10, 1706, Wade was wounded at the siege of Alcantara, but continued to serve on Galway's staff, and accompanied the allied forces to "Madrid, which was entered in triumph on June 27. The tripartite comedy of errors which was now played by the three leading Carlist actors, Galway, Peterborough, and Charles, is too well known to recapitulate. After a month of inaction at Madrid, Galway left the Spanish capital with the allied forces and retreated to Valencia. '· The retreat was made in so good order," wrote Lord Galway, "that the enemy, superior as they were in number, never durst venture to attack us aftE:r the warm reception twenty-two of their squadrons met with from two battalions und.er the command of Colonel 'Wade in the town of Villa Nova." Wade earned fresh laurels at the fatal battle of Almanza on April 25, 1707, whe·re he commanded, as a Brigadier General in the Spanish Army, the third brigade of British infantry, which bore the lorunt of the fighting and lost heavily. He miraculously escaped capture, and joined Galway at Alcira, whence he was sent to England with despatches. On January 1, 1707-8, Wade was promoted Brigadier General in the British Army, and returned to Spain in the spring. He was chosen second in command to General James Stanhope (afterwards first Earl Stanhope) in the expedition to Minorca, which sailed from Barcelona in September. 1708. At the siege of Port Philip which defended Port Mahon, Wade led the stormers, cap­ tured a redoubt and afterwards negotiated a capitulation. Port Philip being reduced, the capital and whole island at once submitted, and became a British dependency. Wade received a complimentary letter from Charles III, and the commission of Major General in the Carlist Army. In November he was sent home with news of the reduction of Minorca. After leaving England, Wade remained in Portugal until 1710, when he joined Stanhope in Spain and was given the LIEUTENANT JOHN PARSONS WADE, 5th Cavalry, U.S. A. Aide-de-Camp to Major-General James F. Wade (his father). This gallant young officer raised the stars and stripes on Morro Castle, Havana, when Spain filed out and Cuba first was free, (Massachusetts family.)

FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES. 177 command of a brigade of infantry. On August 20 was fought the Battle of Saragossa. All the colors, twenty­ two pieces of cannon, and nearly four thousand prisoners were captured, besides King Philip's plate and equipage. Wade was ·recommended for promption by Stanhope (see Colonel Harrison's letter to Lord Dartmouth, on Septem­ ber 23, 1710), and sent to England to ask for additional troops and supplies. He did not return to Spain, but was promoted Major General on October 3, 1714, and a month later was appointed Major General of the forces in Ireland. It was doubtful whether he took up his command, as he was returned as member of parliament for Hindon, Wiltshire, January 25, 1714-15. When the rebellion broke out, in 1715, Wade was sent to Bath, which was strongly Jacobite, in command of two· regiments of dragoons. His zeal in ferreting out conspiracies resulted in a find of eleven chests of firearms, swords, cartridges, three pieces of can­ non, which had been buried under ground. Two years later Wade was instrumental in discovering a plot against the government, hatched by Count Gyllenberg, the Swed­ ish ambassador, who was arrested. On March 19, 1717, George I. bestowed the Colonelcy of the regiment now known as the 3rd Dragoon Guards, on Wade; and when it was decided to ~end an expedition against Vigo, in r 7 19, Wade was appointed second in command. This expedition was entirely successful. Vigo surrendered, and Pont-a­ Vedra was taken by Wade, who captured and destroyed the arsenal after removing the most valuable guns, stores, and ammunition, which were sent on board the fleet. In 1722, Wade was elected member of parliament for Bath, which borough he continued to represent until his death. Two years later, he was sent to Scotland to recon­ noitre the Highlands _and observe their strength and re­ sources. Wade's report to the government on the measures he considered necessary to adopt for the civilization of the country resulted in his being appointed Commander­ in-Chief in Scotland. Now commenced under Wade's superintendence, the construction of those important mili- (12] 178 THE w ADE GENEALOGY. tary roads which brought the inmost fastnesses in the North and West of Scotland within touch of the rest of Great Britain. vVade .commenced his roads in 1726, em­ ploying five hundred soldiers in the work, who received sixpence a day extra pay, and in three years his work was well advanced. Wade's engineering triumphs in the High­ lands are recorded in the historic. bull, " Had you seen these roads before they were made, You would lift up your hands and bless General Wade." which was inscribed on an obelisk which formerly stood on the road between Inverness and Inverary. Forty stone bridges were also built by Wade's "highwaymen," as he facetiously termed his working soldiers. Of these bridges, the most worthy of mention is the one he built over the Tay, in 1733. This bore on its parapet a Latin inscription commemorating General George Wade, and complimentary to his skill as an engineer and road maker. The. lines, which were from the pen of Doctor Robert Friend of Westminster, ran as follows: l\Iirare. ViR.m hR.nc militarem Ultra Roman1Js terminos M.

He seems to have commLtnicated his own stiff, formal character to his roads, one being de-. scribed as 16 miles long with only four turnings. But the Scottish antiquary execrates his memory, as he went smack through a Roman camp at Cudock with one of his roads. ( " Memoir on Scottish Roads " prefixed to FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES.

Burt's Letters, Gent. Mag-., 1 7 31, p. 488; 17 54, p. s 16; Notes and Queries, 3rd Ser., Vol. II., p. 192). The dis­ arming of the Highland clans was proceeded with so slowly, and judicionsly, that Wade became personly popu­ lar, even while faithfully obeying the most distasteful orders (Stanhope, History o.f .England, Vol. IL, p. 86). Three Regiments of Dragoons were raised in June, 1727, to in­ crease the military force in Scotland, and the Colonelcy of one of these regiments was given to Wade, who had been promoted Lieutenant General on March 7, 1727. In 1732, the sinecure government of Berwick and Holy Island was bestowed on him by George IL, who, in 1733, appointed him Governor of the newly constructed Fort William, Fort Augustus, and Fort George. "\,\Tade was not in Scotland at the time of the Porteous riots, but it was owing to his application to Queen Caroline that Porteous was reprieved. On July 2, 17.39, Wade was promoted General of Horse, and in 1742, was appointed a Privy Councillor and Lieutenant General of the Ord­ nance. These honors were followed on December 14, 1743, by the bestowal of a Field Marshal's baton and by his appoint­ ment as Commander-in-Chief of the Bntish forces in Flan­ ders, which were to co~operate with the Austrian and Dutch contingents. The Due d'Aremberg commanded the Aus­ trians, and the Count of Nassau the Dutch. Opposed to the allied forces were eighty-five thousand French troops, under Maurice of Saxe. The French, superior in numbers, were under an able commander, while Wa9e, who was turned seventy years of age and in failing health, had never before commanded an army in the field. He found d'Aremberg and Nassau opposed to all his plans, and at· the opening of the campaign in I744, the allied generals had no 'definite plan of action. Within six weeks the French reduced Courtrai, Menin, and Ypres, Fort Knoque, and Furnes. George II, alarmed at their conquests, · made Lord Carteret write to Wade and inform him that "it was his Majesty's pleasure the army should march 180 THE WADE GENEALOGY. upon the enemy and attack him with a spirit suitable to the glory of the British nation." (Carteret MSS.). The allies crossed the Scheldt on Jnly 20, in order to bring the French to an engagement. The time was propitious, as Prince Charles of Loraine, at the head of an Austrian force, had won great success against the French in Alsace, which compelled Louis XV. to withdraw part of his army from Flanders. The French Army, however, took up a post behind the Lys, and the allies, impeded by a divided i::om­ mand, weakened by discordant opinions, and hampered by plans of a campaign prepared in England by the Earl of Stair, effected nothing of importance. Wade and his col­ leagues were made the butts for pasquinades in the French papers (Gent. Mag,, 1744), and appeared as comic fi~~ures in French plays. Early in October, Wade's health broke down, and he applied for leave to return to England, which was granted. In the following March he resigned his command. George II. expressed satisfaction at his services, and further evinced his good-will by appointing him Commander-in-Chief in England. On the outbreak of the rebellion in Scotland, Wade took the field with all the forces he could collect, and marched to Doncaster. Several regiments were recalled from Flanders, and six thousand Dutch troops were requisitioned from the states to serve in Great Britain. The militia of several counties were also called out. But there was no display of enthusiasm for the king's service in the north _of England. '\Vade seems to have played the part of General Monk, and to have r,ested on his arms, supine, until he saw how the Pretender suc­ ceeded. His officers were so anxious to attack the High­ landers that they are said to have dropped in his path the following apt quotation from Shakespeare's King John:- Shall a beardless boy, A cockered, silken wanton, brave our fields, And flesh his spirit in a warlike soil, Mocking the air with colours idly spread, And find no check? Let us, mv liege, to arms! With his companions in arms-Cope and Hawley, 1iVade figured in the punning doggerel of that day:-

FAMOUS ENGLISH w ADES. 181

Cope could not cope, Nor Wade wade through the snow, Nor Hawley haul His cannon to the foe. Wade says, ''England is for the first-comer," wrote Henry Fox to Sir C. Williams, ·' and I believe it." By the end of September, Wade's force, numbering ten thousand, concen­ trated on Newcastle. The Highland Army, flushed by the victory of Prestonpans, marched to Kelso and made feint of proceeding to Wooler, which put Wade on the wrong scent. Turning suddenly westward they marched through Liddes­ dale into Cumberland. Carlisle was surprised and captured. Utterly perplexed by contradictory reports as to the route taken by the rebels, Wade marched to Hexham in the hope of intercepting them. Arriving there on November 16, in a snowstorm of unequaled severity, news was received of the capture of Carlisle. The impassible state of the roads prevented Wade from marching further westward. Meanwhile, Charles Edward continued his victorious march southward, followed by Wade. . A fresh army of eight thousand men, commanded by the Duke of Cumber­ land, was marching across Staffordshire. The Highland­ ers, under the able leadership of Lord George Murray, out­ marshaled and out-manreuvered Cumberland, and reached Derby on December 4. · Two days later they turned their faces homewdrds. Once more Lord George Murray guided his little army safely between the hostile armies of Wade and Cumberland, and reached the borders of Westmorland in safety. Cumberland was appointed Commander-in­ Chief of the whole British Army, and Wade retired into private life. He died unmarried, on March 14, 1748, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. By his will, dated June r, 1747, Wade left £500 for the erection of a monument to himself either in Bath Abbey; or Westminster Abbey. The monument was erected at Westminster over the Canons' door to the cloisters. It is surmounted by his portrait in profile, flanked by two figures, the Goddess of Fame pre­ venting Time from destroying the Field Marshal's sword, armor and decorations, which are attached to a column. THE vVAnE GENEALocv.

The monument, which is some 12 feet high, bears Wade's coat of arms and crest. Arms: A saltire, between 4 escal­ lops, or. Crest: A rhinosceros passant. The inscription reads:- "Sacred to the memory of George ·wade, Field Marshal of his l\Iajesty's Forces, Lieutenant General of the Ord­ nance, Colonel of his Majesty's ~bird Regiment Dragoon Guards, Governor of Fort ·wmiam, Fort Augustus and Fort George, and one of his Majesty's Most Honorable Privy Council. He died 14th :March, 1748. Aged 75 years." It is said that the sculptor Roubiliac used to come and stand before "bis best work," the monument to Wade, and weep to think it put too high to be appreciated. (Stanley, Westminster Abbe_y, p. 267). 'l'wo portraits of Wade, one anonymous and the other by Haecken (after John Vander­ bank), are in the National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh. A third portrait, painted by Adrian Van Diest, was engraved by Faber. As a soldier, Wade's talents were more solid than brilliant, and did not fit him for successful command. He was a useful lieutenant, and an excellent leader in action, but he entirely lacked initiative, and he was dis­ couraged and perplexed by responsibility. Anecdotes of the Field Marshal are numerous and are to be found in Defoe's Tour Through Great Britain, Vol. IV. Hone's Year Book, p, 154, and Cunningham's Handbook of London (Cork Street). See also the articles by W. Tyte in The Bath and Coun~v Graphic, March, 1899. Wade is notable as one of the four Irishmen who have commanded the British Army. A contemporary account describes him as a notorious gam­ bler, but a worthy man, where women were not concerned.

Claude Martine Wade derived his first two names from General Claude Martine, the French soldier of fortune, who was a friend of his father. Wade was appointed a cadet in the Bengal service in 1809, and immediately pro­ ceeded to India. On arrival he joined the institution at Barasset, near Calcutta, where the cadets were instructed in the native languages and in the practical part of their military duties. After the shortest possible period-six months-Wade passed out of Barasset, receiving the sword of honor for proficiency. After serving with the first battalion, 15th regiment of native infantry, as a cadet, he obtained his commission as Ensign in the 45th regiment native infantry, July 29, 1812. With this regiment Wade served in 1813, in a field force on the Gwalior frontier, and was afterward stationed at the cantonment of Kunch. Through the unhealthiness of the station he presently found himself in command of his own corps and of a detachment of artillery. He acquitted him­ self of his charge in a manner which earned the approval of the Governor General and Commander-in-Chief.

Wade was promoted Lieutenant on October 20, 1815, and was actively engaged during that year in operations caused by aggressive movements of the combined forces of Sindhia and Holkar against the state of Bhopal, which was friendly to the British government.. From 1816 to 1819, he served in the Pindari campaigns, being also em­ ployed with the fifth division, under General Sir J. W. Adams, at the siege and capture of the ·fortified town of FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES. 189

Chanda. On the termination of hostilities, in 1819, he was stationed at Lucknow. In 1820-21, Wade officiated as Brigade Major to the troops in Oude, and in 1822 he was deputed on political duty to Calcutta, as bearer of a letter from the King of Oude to the Governor Genera]. On the completion of this duty, he was appointed an extra assistant in the office of the Surveyor-General of India, and completed the examina­ tion. arrangement, and analysis of the numerous maps and surveys which had for many years accumulated there. Some of his maps are in the British Museum. So satisfied was the Governor General, Lord Hastings, with his per­ formance of this duty, that he desired to appoint him to the political department, and recommended him to the notice of his temporary successor, Joho Adam. By the latter, Wade was, on February 28, 1823, appointed to the office of Political Assistant at Ludhiana, where his principal duty was, at first, the charge of Shah Shuja-ul­ Mulk, t}:i.e exiled ruler of Afghanistan. Shortly after his appointment to Ludhiana, however, negotiations of a very important nature devolved on him, as the alarm and ex­ citement caused in India by the ill success of the early operations in Burmah endangered the northern frontier. Ranjit Singh, at this period in full vigor and at the height of his power, suspended his operations against the Afghans, and, assembling his whole force about Labore, was ready to avail himself of any British reverse by joining the in­ surgent Raja of Bhurtpore and other chiefs who were dis­ affected to the British government. Wade, who was prom_pted to the rank of Captain on May 13, 1825, was in constant communication with the Sikh ruler throughout this critical period, and gradually succeeded in convincing Ra13-jit Singh of both the power and the sincerity of the British government. In 1826, the termination of the Bur­ mese war and the capture of Bhurtpore conclusively established in the Maharaja's mind the conviction of British ascendancy; and in the following year Wade con­ ducted a complimentary mission from Ranjit Singh to the THE w ADE GENEALOGY.

Governor General, Lord Amherst, who, in return, sent presents by Wade's hand to the Court of Amritsar. Lord Amherst, shortly afterwards (autumn of 1827), entrusted him with the entire charge of British dealings with the Maharaja. Wade performed this duty for seventeen years, during which time he was chiefly instrumental in main­ taining harmony between the British and the Sikh govern­ ments; moreover, he gained the confidence of Ranjit Singh to such an extent as to be permitted freely to visit the Punjab -at a time when it was rigidly closed to British officials. In 1830, on the occasion of the mission of Lieu­ tenant (afterwards Sir Alexander) Burnes, to Lahore, Wade was instructed to take over the presents which Burnes was conveying to the Maha.raja, on the arrival of Burnes at the frontier; but, seeing the importance of others besides himself obtaining access to the Punjab, Wade gen­ erously suggested that Burnes should complete the mis­ sion. Wade was instrumental in arranging the historical interview at Rupar in October, 1832, between Ranjit Singh and Lord William Cavendish Bentinck, an event of the very highest importance, which afforded convincing'proof of Wade's influence over the Maharaj a. The complete suc­ cess of Wade's diplomatic dealings with the Maharaja was repeatedly acknowledged officially in letters from the vari­ ous Governors General under whom he served to the court of directors, and in the replies of the latter; he received no other rewards for these services. At length the determination of the British government to depose Amir Dost Muhammad Khan from the throne of Afghanistan, and to replace him by the exiled Shah, Shuja-ul-Mulk, 'gave Wade the opportunity of his life. The main advance of the invading army on Kabul was to be made through the Bolan Pass, and thence through Southern Afghanistan, but it was decided to make a con­ verging attack through the Punjab and the Khaibar Pass, This subsidrnry movement was entrusted to Wade, who was promoted Major on June 28, 1838, and was given the local rank of Lieutenant Colonel, " while serving beyond FAMOUS ENGLISH w ADES.

the Indus," on September 29 of the same year. Arriving at Peshawar, his base of operations, in March, 1839, he set to work with the utmost energy at his double task of col­ lecting and organizing. an army, and of negotiating with various sections of the Afridi inhabitants of the Khaibar region, whom it was desired to propitiate. Wade was assisted by a small but very capable staff of eleven officers, of whom the most distinguished were Lieutenant Fred­ erick Ma~keson, Dr. Percival Barton Lord, and Lieutenant Joseph Davy Cunningham. He first attempted to win over the Afridis, but, though partially successful, he eventually found it impossible to satisfy the greed of all parties, and ,was obliged to essay a passage of the Khaibar Pass by force of arms. His troops were most unpromising as regards discipline, though individually of good fighting material. They consisted of five thousand Punjabi Muhamadans from Ranjit Singh's regular army, of about four thousand un­ trustworthy Afghan levies. and of 380 of the company's regular. troops. The object of Wade's operations being to aid the advance of the army of the Indus, by compelling Dost Muhammed Khan to divide his forces, it was necessary to penetrate the Khaibar Pass as early as possible. In consequence he attacked Fort Ali Musjid on July 22, 1839, but little over four months from the day on which the formation of his force was begun. The fall of Ghazni compelled Dost Muham­ med Khan to recall his son, Muhammed Akbar Khan from J ellalabad, and thus deprived the Afridis of Afghan assist­ ance. Notwithstanding the numerical superiority of the enem.y, Wade captured Ali Musjid after four days' fighting; and, distributing his Afghan levies in positions command­ ing the road to Kabul, he continued his march to the Afghan capital, which be shortly afterward entered, unop­ posed, at the head of the Sikh contingent. For his bril- -liant services on this occasion, Wade was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, receiving also the honor of knighthood, the companion~hip of the Bath, and the first­ class order of the Durani Empire. THE w ADE GENEALOGY,

It was stated by Lord Auckland in an official despatch that "it was not upon record that the celebrated Khaibar Pass had ever previously been forced." After the fall of Kabul and the flight of Dost Muham­ mad Khan, Wade returned to resume his political duties in India, and on M_arch 31, 1840, he was appointed resi­ dent at Indore. He held this important office until his retirement from the service on May r, 1844. During his service in Malwa, Wade, among other achievements, af­ fected the settlement of the Bhil tribes, who, at that period, gave much trouble, and it may be remarked that throughout his long political employment he was uniformly successful in dealing by peaceful methods with the most turbulent races. It is worthy of record that, at the time of his leaving India, Wade had served continuously in that country from 1809; a longer period than any of his contemporaries, with the sole exception of Lord Metcalfe. Wade, who had been promoted to the rank of Colonel on November 28, 1854 ; died at Bath, England, on October 21, 1861. In addition to receiving the Order of the Bath from his sovereign. Sir Claude Martine "\Vade was the recipient of an enameled and jeweled sword of honor from Ranjit Singh, a similar sword from Shah Shuja-ul-Mulk, a third sword from the Maharajah Holkar of Indore; two Orders of the Durani Empire, and the Order of the most Auspicious Star of the Puniab. His sovereign accorded him permis­ sion to accept and wear these gifts and orders, all of which were placed on exhibition at the Victorian Era Exhibition in London, in 1897.

William Wade was educated at Eton and Oriel College, Oxford, where he matriculated June 1, 1768, aged 17 (Alumni Oxoniensis, Vo1. IV., p. 1479). He declined to enter the church, and his father purchased for him a commission in the 38th Regiment of the British Army. He was se11t with his regiment to America and took part in the Battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775. His cocked hat, pierced by an American musket ball at this battle, is to-day in the possession of his descendant, the Rev. Theodore Leggett, D. D., of West New Brighton, Staten Island, N. Y. Lieut. Wade went to Halifax with his regiment on the evacuation of Boston, and there purchased a Captaincy in the same regi­ ment, May 3, 1776. In June of that year, he was ordered to Staten Island, and took part in the Battle of Brooklyn in August. While stationed in New York, he met h:is future wife, Ann Dean, one of the belles of the city. She was the daughter of Richard Dean, an Irish gentleman residing in New York city. An entry of the marriage license is preserved at Albany. Her sister married Siir Alexander Hamilton. William Wade resigned his com­ mission in the British service and settled in New York, engaging in commerce. We find from Livermore's His- . tory of Cooperstrmm, N. Y. (1862), •12mo., p. 35, that he was one of the adventurous pioneers of commerce who settled in that township between 1792 and 1797, and engaged in business as a merchant. He remained but a year or two, and then returned to ~ew York, where he died Septem­ ber 27. 1799.

In 1823, his father having been appointed Military Secretary at Mauritius, Thom·as accompanied him thither, and at once began a regular" course ot study, including Latin. In 1827 he returned to England with his mother and sisters, and was sent to a private school at Richmond. Two years' later he FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES. 199 joined his father at the Cape, 'and there continued 'hi~ education with a private tutor until 1832. In the sum­ mer of that •·ear he was sent home, and at the beginning of the Michaelmas term was placed at Mr. Drury's house at Harrow, where he spent five years. In 1837 he matric­ ulated from Trinity College, Cambridge, but at the end of the year his father, thinking him best fitted for a mili­ tary career, bought him a commission in the 81st regiment of foot, then stationed at Chester. A year later (1839) he exchanged into his father's old regiment, the 42nd high­ landers, and served with that distinguished corps in Ireland, and later in the Ionian Islands. ,Duling the year he spent at Corfu he studied Italian and modern Greek. On November 16, 1841, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, and on the following day exchanged into the 98th regiment of foot, which was then under orders for active service in China. On December 20 he sailed with his new regiment, and arrived at Hongkong in June, 1812. During the enforced leisure of this somewhat lengthy voyage, Wade began the study of Chinese, and being the only officer who had any acquaintance with that little­ known tongue, he was appointed interpreter to the regi­ ment by the Colonel, Colin Campbell (afterwards Lord Clyde). Only three months after he had joined the regi­ ment he was appointed Adjutant. He took part with his regiment in the attack on Chinkiang Fu, and in the opera­ tions round Nanking. After the conclusion of peace, the regiment returned to Hongkong (1843), where Wade's knowledge of Chinese gained him the post of interpreter to the garrison, and at the close of 1845, after a visit to England on leave, he was appointed interpreter in Can­ tonese to the Supreme Court of Hongkong. A year later he was nominated to the post of assistant Chinese secretary to Sir John Davis, who was then superintendent of trade. In 1852 be was appointed vice-consul at Shang.hai, and while holding that office took part in establishing the foreign maritime customs. For the administration of this new service an international committee was formed, con- 200 'fHE WADE GENEALOGY, sisting of Wade representiug Great Britain, Carr repre­ senting the United States, and Arthur Smith representing France. The largest share of the work fell to Wade, who, after having seen the machinery satisfactorily started, re­ signed his office. In 1855 he was recalled to Hongkong as Chinese secretary, and was almost immediately sent on a mission to Cochin China, by Sir John Bowring, then governor of this colony. On the outbreak of the war of 1857 Wade was attached to Lord Elgin's special mission, and to him fell the duty of negotiating with the Chinese authorities the treaty of Tientsin. In 1859 he accompanied (Sir) Frederick William Adolphus Bruce to the Peiho, and in the following year was attached as Chinese secretary to Lord Elgin 's second mission, after the defeat of the gunboats at Taku, In all the difficult negotiations which followed he bore a leading part, and he accompanied (Sir) Harry Smith Parkes on his first visit to Tungchow, where on the following day Parkes, Lord Loch and their escort were taken prisoners. With skill and patience Wade eventually arranged the release of Parkes and the other survivors of the staff of the first legation in Peking. In the following year he was made a C. B., and was acting charged' affaires at Pekin from 1864 to 1865, and from 1869 to 1871, when he was appointed plenipoten­ tiary. It was during his second tenure of office as charge d' affaires that the massaC're of foreigners at Tientsin occurred. Though the attack was primarily dfrected against Frenchmen, a British subject was among the slain, and Wade took a leading part in the protests which led to the punishment of certain of the rioters. In' 1872 the marriage of the Emp€ror T'ungchih led Wade and his colleagues to . urge on the Emperor's ministers the propriety of their master receiving the foreign representatives in audience, and on June 29, 1873, Wade and the other ministers were, for the first time, admitted into the imperial presence. In the following year a dispute arose between China and Japan, which threatened to end in war. Indeed, the Jap­ anese envoy was on the point of leaving Peking when Wade, WILLIAM WADE, EsQ. (No. 885, p. ! 69.)

FAMOUS ENGLISH w ADES. 201

on his own responsibility, undertook that the Chinese gov­ ernment should accede to the terms put forward by Japan. To this eminent service special reference was made in the Queen's speech of 187'5. On February 20, 187'5, Augustus Raymond Margary, who had been sent across China to Burma to meet Colonel Horace Browne's expedition from Burma, was treacher­ ously murdered on his return journey near Manwyne in Yunnan. Wade instantly demanded at Pekin that a full inquiry should be made into t.he circumstances of the crime, and after long and trying negotiations, in the course of which he more than once threatened to break off diplo­ matic relations with the Chinese government, he succeeded in obtainjng a certain amount of compensation and an assurance of future protection, and in connection with the affair arranged with Li Hung Chang the Chifu convention, which after a long interval was ratified by the two govern­ ments concerned. In 1880 Gordon visited Li Hung Chang to consult with him on the threatened war with Russia, and in connection with this visit it was stated by Sir Henry Gordon that Wade and some of his colleagues bad suggested that Li Hung Chang should raise the standard of rebellion and take possession of the throne. Certainly, so far as Wade is concerned, this is not the fact, and the rum<;>r was publicly contradicted by him when the state­ ment first appeared. In 187'5 he was made a K. C. B., and in 1883 he retired-on a pension. On his return to England Wade took up his residence at Cambridge, and in 1888 was appointed the first professor of Chinese at the. university. He was elected a profes­ sorial fellow of King's College. On his death he left his large and valuable Chinese library to the university. In 1889 he was made a G. C. M. G. Wade's life was one of action rather than of learned leisure, and he had little time for writing. Nevertheless, · he was author of several works, which remain standard books for the study of China and the Chinese. · 202 THE WADE GENEALOGY.

In 1794 Wade published "Catalogus Systematicus Plantarum indigenarum in comitatu Dublinensi . .. pars prima," on the title page of which he describes himself as M. D., licentiate of the King's and Queen's College of Physicians, and lecturer on botany. 204 THE WAL>E GENEALOGY.

This work 1s in Latin (275 pages, Svo.), arranged on the Linnrean system, with carefully verified localities and indexes of the Latin, English, and Irish names, the sedges and cryptogamic plants being reserved for a second part, which was never published. Lady Kane, in her anonymous "Irish Flora" (Dublin, 183:3, 12mo. ), says of this work (preface, p. 7) that it was " the first that appeareq in Ireland under a systematic arrangement, and that its author may be justly considered as the first who diffused a general taste for botany in this country." Wade visited vario1;1s parts of Ireland in search 0f plants: in 1796 and in 1805 he was in Kerry (ib, II, p. 160), and in 1801 in Con­ nemara, "a district ... hever examined by any botanf,st before" (ib. p. 148), when he was the first t? find the pipewort (Eriocaulon) in Ireland. In 1802 he issued a full ·• Syllabus of a Course of Lectures on Botany," (Dublin, p. 50, 8vo. ), on the title page of which he is described as "pro­ fessor and lecturer on botany to the Right Honourable and Honourable the Dublin Society." This syllabus is largely historkal, and refers to the arrangement of the Glasnevin botanical garden. Wade's S..;cond work of importance, however, was '' Plantce rariores i11 Hibernia inventce," ( Dublin, 1804, p. 214, 8vo.), an English work, reprinted from the " Transactions of the Dublin Society," (1803, Vol. IV.). About this time Wade was awarded a prize of £5 by the Dublin Society for the discovery of mosses new to Ireland (Lon­ don, Magazine of Natural History, 1829. II., 305); and on the title of his "Sketch of Lectures on Meadou• and Pasture Grasses delivered in the Dublin Society's Bota,zical Garden, Glasnevin," (Dublin, 1808, p. 55, 8vo. ), he is described as physician to the Dublin General Dispensary and lecturer on botany to the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. In 1811 he published "Salices, or an Essay towards a General History of Willows," (Dublin, 8vo.), his chief remaining independent work. Wade died in Dublin in 1825. He had been elected an associate of the Linnean Society in 1792. Besides the works already mentioned, he puolished "Sketch of Lectures on Artificial or Sown Grasses," ( Dublin, 1808, p. 51, 8 vo. ), FAMOUS ENGLISH wADES. 205 catalogues of the Glasnevin Garden, and several papers in the Dublin Society's Transactions (Vols. IL-VI.), of which the most important are on '' Buddlea Globosa, Holcus odoratus," and "Oaks," the latter in the main a translation from Mich­ aux·s ''CMnes de l'Amlrique septentrionale," (Royal Society's Catalogue of Scientific Papers, VI, 221). He also projected a work entitled "Flora Hibernica, '' which never appeared. We turn finally to talents tarnished and abilities thrown to the winds. It is the pitiful life story of Joseph Augus­ tine Wade (1796?-1845) the Irish musical compo1-er. He was, according to his biographer in the Dictionary of National .Biography, born in Dublin in 1706 or 1797. His father is said to have been a dairyman near Thomas Street, Dublin. He was a school-fellow of Richard Robert Madden at Chaigneau's Academy, Usher Street, Dublin, from about 1814 to 1816. Wade is said to have been a student at Trinity College, Dublin, to have been a junior clerk in the Irish record office, and to have studied anatomy at the Irish College of Surgeons, but none of the records of the institutions bear any traces of his name, though in Jate years he may, with William Rooke, have found employ­ ment in the record office. Equal uncertainty surrounds his early musical education; he was probably self-taught. He quitted Dublin and married a lady of fortune, a Miss Kelly of Garnaville, near Athlone, but he soon became tired of her. A song of his exists addressed to "Lovely Kate of Garnavi11a." On his return to Dublin he is said to have acquired considerable skill as an anatomist and sur­ geon in the Irish capital. Surgery was, however, soon abandoned, and Wade became a poet-musician. Sir John Andrew Stevenson, recognizing his great gift of melody, advised Wade to apply for the University chair of music dormant since 1774, after the resignation of Lord Morning­ ton, but the matter fell through. Wade migrated to Lon­ don, where he became conductor of the opera during Moock Mas0J1's regime. An oratorio by him, '' The .Prophecy" from Pope's "Messiah" was produced at Covent Garden Theatre on March 24, 1824; his opera, "The Two 206 THE w ADE GENEALOGY.

Houses of Granada," of which he wrote both words and music, was first performed at Drury Lane on 31 October, 1826, with Braham as Don Carlos. In the same year (1826) he composed and published his most successful song, of which he also wrote the words, "Meet me by Moonlight Alone," which had extraordinary popularity. It enjoyed the good fortune to be further immortalized by the witty Father Pr'.)ut in Fraser's Magazine (October, 1834, p. 480), in a French garb:- Viens au bosquet, ce soir, sans temoin, Dans la vallon, au clair de la lune. A man of remarkable gifts and acquirements as a writer of lyrics, a composer, a violinist, and a journalist, witty and quick in perception, Wade became dissipated to the last degree. He drank to excess, and latterly acquired the habit of taking opium. For the last fow years of his life he was almost unknown. He did some editorial work for the house of Chappell & Co. at a salary of £300 a year, and in that capacity, with William Crotch and (Sir) George Alexander Macfarren, he harmonized some of the airs of W. Chappell's "Popular Music of the Olden Time',' originally published in 1840 as "A Collection of National English Airs"; he also contributed to ''Bentley's Miscellany" and the Illus­ trated London News, but he could never be relied upon. He died penniless, in a state of mental derangement, at his lodgings, 450 Strand, on July 15, 1845. His first christian name appears in the death registers at Somerset House as Joseph ( not John) and his surname as Ward. His first wife having died childless, Wade subse­ quently formed some irregular matrimonial connections, and at his death a subscription was raised for his pres11med widow and her two destitute children. Wade's character may be best summarized fo the words of the Rev. John Richardson ( Recollections, 1855, I, 231): "A wise man in theory and a fool in practice. A vigororous intellect; planning everything, performing nothing. Always in difficulties, having thy means at hand to extricate himself from their annoyance, yet too apathetic to arouse himself FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES. 201'

to an effort; content to dream away his time in any occu­ pation but that which the requisitions of the occasion demanded." In addition to the works already· mentioned, Wade com­ posed: "The Pupil o.f Da Vincz" (operetta by Mark Lemon), "Polish Melodies" (w0rds and music), 1831, "A Woodlana Life" (polacca interpolated into Weber's "Der Freischutz" and sung by Braham), "Song o.fthe Flowers" (2 books), 1827-8; many pianoforte pieces, arrangements, etc., and also many vocal duets and songs. He compiled a '•Handbook .for the Pt'ano.forte," which he dedicated to Listz. As a com poser he is now forgotten. He left a "Hz'story o.f Music'' in manuscript. A final word as to Wades in the principality of Wales. The question first arose when the compiler was confronted with the arms, crest and motto adopted by the Wades of New Jers~y (see chapter III), who, beneath the arms and crest of Wade of Kilnsay, Yorkshire, added the Welsh motto Y .fynno Dwy y .fydd (What God willeth shall be). In rela­ tion to this family, and as will be seen in the appropriate chapter, some variations of the family tradition would­ nscribe a Welsh origin for the emigrant ancestor, Benjamin Wade. But investigation and probability fail to aid the claim. Wade as a name is not Cymric. Early as was the grad­ ual invasion of the Marches and of Wales proper, it must needs have included several lusty Wades as actors in the drama and as squires or men-at-arms. But recent and careful search in Wales proves that the only case of Wades being in Wales for any length of time, occurs in Pembroke­ shire, where they came from Irdand during the time the Protestants were persecuted. The earliest traces are David Wade of Steynton, in the County of Pembroke, will proved 1617, but missing from the Registry-John Wade of Roach, Pembrokeshire, wi11 proved 1617; wife's name Jane Lloyd Wade-David Wade of Monkton, Pembrokeshire, wil1 proved 1627-George Wade of Manorbear, Pembroke­ shire, will proved July 30, 1676; the will mentions his wife Mary and eldest son John. This family is represented by Dr. 'I'. Wade Richards of Cardiff, and Arthur Wade Evans, Esq., B. A. of Cambridge.

As an example of the utter unreliability of family tradi­ tion, precious as it is to female genealogists (?) of the Mail and Express stripe, the compiler draws attention to the pedigree of Wade printed in "The Proceedings of the Historical Society of .Lancashz"re and Cheshire," Vol. III (1849 ), pp. 85-99, where, in an account of Church Minshull, in the County of Chester, mention is made of an old family of Wades there located, and of a well-settled local as well as family tradi­ tion, that Field Marshal General George Wade (as to whom see ante, pp. 175-182), was of this family and was buried in the old Wade tomb in Minshull churchyard I Except for this extraordinary mis-statement there is little to be gleaned from the pedigree, which may be stated as follows:-

It remains to chronicle an industrious writer who has defied identification as to his ancestors. The Dictionary of National Biography includes John Wade (1788-1875), who was an industrious writer connected with the English press throughout his career. He contributed to many periodicals, and was an esteemed leader writer on the Spectator when that paper was under Robert Stephen Rintoul's editorship between 1828 and 1858. As an author, . his greatest success was "The Black Book, or Corruption Unmasked! Being an Account of Persons, Places, ana Sinecures," 1820-3, 2 Vols. Published by Effingham Wilson, and brought out when the reform excitement was com­ mencing, it produced a considerable sensation, and fifty thousand copies were sold. With some alterations in the title it was reproduced in 1831, 1832, and 1835. In 1826 he wrote for Longman's "The Cabinet Lawyer; a Popular Digest of the Laws of England," the twenty-fifth edition of which appeared in 1829. Another popular work was ''British History, chronologically arranged," 1839; supplement 1841; 3rd edition 1844; 5th edition 1847. Effingham Wilson paid Wade so much a week for years while he was compiling the "British His/()ry," and supplied him with all the necessary works of reference (Athenaum, 1875, II, 576). Wade also edited an annotated "Junius," including letters by the same writer under other signatures (1850, in Bohn's Standard Library, 2 Vols.) Here he was out of his depth, and the imperfections of his edition and specially of his introduction, were pointed out by Charles W. Dilke in the Athenaum of February 2 et-seq. (reprinted in Dilke's "Papers of a Cn'ti'c," 1875, II, 47- 124). Literature he did not find a profitable employment, and his main dependence in his later years was a civil list pension of £50, granted to him June 19, 1862, by Lord Palmerston, chiefly on the representation of Effingham FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES. 213

Wilson. He was a vice-president of the historical section of the Institution d'Afrique of Paris. He died at Chelsea on September 29, 1875, and was buried in Kensal Green Cemetery on 2 October. Besides the work already mentioned he wrote: 1. "Digest of Facts and Principles on Banking," 1826. 2. "An Account of Public Charities in England and Wales," 1828. 3. "Annual Abstract of New Arts and Law Cases," 1828. 4. "A Treatise on the Police and Crimes of the Metropolis," 1829. 5. ''History of the Middle and Working Classes, Also an Appendix of Prices," 1833, 3rd edition, 1835. 6. "Glances at the Times and Reform Government," 1840, five editions. 7. "Unreformed Abuses in Church and State," 1849. 8. ''England's Greatness, Its Rise ana Progress, from the Earliest Period to the Peace of Paris," 1856. 9. '' Women. Past and Present, Exhibiting their Social Vicissitudes, Single and Matrimonial Relations, Rights, Privileges and Wrongs," 1859. 10. '' The Cabinet Gazetteer, a Popular Exposition of the Countries of the World," 1853. Last, but not least in the list of English Wades worthies, let us place Thomas Wade (1805-1875), the poet, who was the son of Searles Wade of Woodbridge, Suffolk (see ante, p. 67), where he was born in 1805. He must have come to London young, probably possessed of a moderate compe­ tence, and the miscellaneous knowledge evinced in a volume of poems published before he attained his majority, seems to· indicate a self-educated man. This little book, "Tasso ana the Sisters . .. Poems" (London, 1825, &vo.), with a preface, date~ December, 1824, in the main reflects the style of Byron and Moore, but the longest and best piece, " The Nuptials of Juno," betrays the strongest influence from Shelley's "Witch of Atlas." It is full of glowing fancy, and exhibits a command of language and rhythm which the writer rarely attained afterwards. For some time Wade's attention was chiefly given to the drama. " Woman's Love, or the Triumph of Patience," afterwards entitled "Duke Andrea," a play founded on the story of Griselda, was per­ formed at Covent Garden in December, 1828, and succeeded through the fine acting of Charles Kemble in the principal . ' 214 THE WADE GENEALOGY.

character; it was published in duodecimo -in 1829, and went through two editions. "The Phrenologists," a farce (Janu­ ary, 1830), was likewise successful; but "The Jew of Arra­ gon, or the Hebrew Queen," a tragedy (in .five acts and in verse), produced at Covent Garden in: October of that same year, though supported not only by Charles but by Fanny Kemble, was literally howled off the stage on account of the partiality shown to the Jews. Wade, nothing daunted, published his play with a dedication to the Jews of Eng­ land, and restored in capitals the passages expunged by the licenser on political grounds (London, 12mo.). About this time he composed two other unacted tragedies. One "Elfrida," is lost; the manuscript of the other, '' King Henry II,'' is in the possession of Mr. Buxton Forman, who describes it as "Elizabethan, but not imitative," and considers it a stronger work than either of the published dramas. Wade now became a frequent contributor of poetry to the Monthly Repository, an asylum for much of the unacknowledged genius, or merely ambitious strivings, of that period of interregnum between Byron and Tenny­ son. His contributions, with many other poems, appeared in March, 1835, in a volume fancifully entitled "Mundi et Cordis, de Rebus sempiternt"s el temporariz"s, Carmina."_ .It was known among contemporary men of letters by its short title of '' Mundi et Cordis Carmina," and in 1837 Wade advertised it under the English name, "Songs of the U,ii­ verse and of the Heart." This collection, equally with Browning's ''Pauline," published two years earlier, indi­ cates the extent to which English poetry was becoming influenced by Shelley, and, with -all its numerous and pro­ voking imperfections,rretains on this account a permanent value. Wade next began the publication of short poems in pamphlet form, intended to be ultimately united into a volume. '' The Contention of Death and Love," an apotheosis of a dying poet, with especial allusion to Shelley "; ''Helena," a narrative poem too closely imitating Keats's "Isabella"; and " The Shadow Seeker" appeared simultane­ ously in 1837; "Prothanasia," a powerful blank verse study FAMOUS ENGLISH WADES. 215

of suicidal impulse, sttggested by the history of Caroline von Gunderode, with other shorter poems, in 1839. These little verse pamphlets, rarer than even the original issues of a kindred undertaking, Browning's "Bells and Pome­ granates," are scarcely ever to be met united. Mr. Buxton Forman has reprinted the "Contention of Death and Love," and ''Helena," in ''Literary Anecdotes of the Nineteenth Century." While thus ineffectually contending for the poetic laurel Wade had married Lucy Bridgman, a widow well-known as a pianist, under her maiden name of Eager, and the union proved most fortunate. His means had been partly invested in Bell's Weekly Messenger, which he edited for a time, but eventually he disposed of his interest, in con­ sequence of disagreements with his partner, and, probably impaired re:,ources, retired to Jersey, where for many years he successfully conducted the British Press. He continued to contribute verses to the magazines, but made no sustained poetical effort except in the '' Monologue of Konrad," from the "Dziady" of Mickiewicz ( derived through a French prose version of 1834), and a translation of Dante's '•Inferno," noteworthy as the first English version in the original metre, executed in 1845 and 1846. The '' Monologue of Konrad" was published in the Illumi­ nated Magazine of 1845 (a volume edited by W. J. Linton). Mr. Buxton Forman, who possesses the manuscript of the Dante, has published a specimen of no slight merit in "Literary Anecdotes of the Nineteeth Century," " What does Ham­ let mean?" a lecture delivered in 1855 (printed in Jersey) would be a remarkable essay if we could suppose Wade to have been unacquainted with Goethe's criticism in " Wil· helm Meister," but this is not Ii kely to have been the case. His acquaintance with modern languages and literature was evidently expansive. He continued to write until 1871. Some of his later sonnets have been printed by Mr. Forman in '' Literary Anecdotes of the Nineteenth Century." He died in Jersey, on September 19, 1875. , From the internal evidence of his writings, Wade would ,seem to have been a sensitive enthusiast of strong domestic 216 THE wADE GENEALOGY. affections, but at the same time manly and independent. He was an advanced liberal in politics and religion. No author of his time has left less tangible biographic memor­ ial. The only anecdote preserved is Fanny Kemble's testi­ mony to the fortitude with which he bore the failure of his tragedy. As a poet he is interesting but disappointing. His poetical feeling is most genuine; but dev6id as he is of the most elementary notion of form, and, what' is more remarkable, of any gift of spontaneous melody, it is in general but warmth without light. His efforts to say fine things too frequently result in extravagance. Occasionally, however, as in the "Contention of Death and Love," marred as even this is by vicious diction, he kindles for a while into true lyrical ardor, and shows he has more in him than he can bring out. His plays are not highly effective, yet in them he is always the poet, never the mere playwright. His place in literary history is not unimportant as perhaps the purest example of the new influences which began to operate in English literature after the death of Shelley. One word more as to the Wades settled in Ireland. Since the publication of Part I. of the Wade Genealogy, the com­ piler has received many letters, some pitying, some vitu­ perative, from Irish purchasers of his book, as to the existence of a sept of Wades in Ireland's early history. One genius, presumably an honor graduate of some mono­ hippie and Micktheological institution, has ventured to waste his invective on the entirety of Chapter I., which he imagines was manufactured out of whole cloth I It will interest such geniuses to learn that the hated Sassenach in taking the census of Ireland in 1890, was only able to find thirty persons of the name of Wade dwelling in all Ireland, and of these, seven dwelt in Ulster, which certainly was English and Scotch in its settlement. The compiler will endeavor later to do foll justice to those black swans-the autoc­ thonal Irish Wades-in a special compilation entitled ''The History of the McWade, O'Wade and Pat Wade Sept, deduced from the Earliest Common Informer, the Honora­ ble J. Iscariot ; to which is attached the Irish Bartenders' DAVID EVERETT WADE. (No. 1088. New JersPy.)

FAMOUS ENGLISH w ADES. 217 and Hod-carriers' Directory." For this reverent effort to do an act of justice to a mystery of the ages, he will en­ deavor to obtain an imprimatur. Till its issue those who desire to hew A gag in pieces before the Lord in the columns of sectarian publications, are requested to moderate their transports, and taking a feather or two ont of the wings of their eloquence, to place the same in the tail of their judgment. Were it desirable to enlarge on the English branch of the Wade family, ample material could be obtained from ''Musgrave's Obituary" published by the Harleian Society. That indefatigable necrologist chronicled the decease of no less than 45 Wades of prominence and note, and gives references to printed accounts of them. But limits of space forbid and the enumeration of the English Wades must conclude with several minor pedigrees of Wades from Herald's Visitations, etc., the balance of the unconnected and disjointed English Wade material being reserved for printing in:appendix form (if at all) on account of the lack of ; English interest, and the pressing requirements of American subscribers.

CHAPTER III.

THE GENEALOGY OF WADE OF NEW JERSEY AND Omo.

It was a simple but not an ill ancestry, this that turned away from the sea-coast forever and began the making of another world. It was the strong-limbed, the bold-hearted who traveled, the weak who stayed at home. Let us picture for ourselves this first restless Amer­ ican, this West-bound man. We must rAmember that there had been two or three full American generations to produce him, this man who first dared turn awa.:v from the seaboard and set his face toward the sinking of the sun, toward the dark and mysterious mountains and forests which then encompassed the least remote land fairly to be called the We11t. Two generations had produced a man different from ✓the Old-World type. Free air and good food had given him abun­ dant brawn. He was tall, with Anak in his frame. Little fat cloyed the free play of his muscles, and there belonged to him the heritage of that courage which comes of g-ood heart and lnngs. He was a splendid man to have for an ancestor, this tall and florid athlete who never heard of athletic11. His face was thin and aquiline, his look hig-h and confident, his eye blue, his speech reserved.-Franklin Hough in The Century Magazine. Considering and dealing with the various families of Wade, we now reach the notable and numerous family of Wade of New Jersey, and afterwards of Ohio. (e) This branch dates, so far as any researches in American records can disclose, from Benjamin Wade, born in 1G4G, who came from Jamaica in Long Island, New York, about. 1675, and settled at Wade's Farms or Connect­ icut Farms (now formed into Union Township, but then in the Township of Elizabeth, New Jersey). Herein­ after will be found a full discussion of his probable ances­ try. One thing is certain as t-o this family of the Wades. The descendants of Benjamin have not only increased and .nultiplied' in scriptural ;fashion, but have furnished an honorable quota to the roll of men who have deserved well

( e), It was originaily the intention of the compiler to deal with the Massachusetts branch -of the Wade family in Obapter III, as following* in strict chronological sequence the arrivals i;, America. But the g-eneral lack of interest shown by the living m• inbers of this branch, the hope that examination of some of the English wills may shew the parentage of Nathaniel Wade, and the far more substantial support accorded the compiler by the New Jersey family, are responsible for this change in his plans. The famihes merely change places, the Massachusetts branch appearing in Ohapter IV. [15] 22G THE WADE GENEALOGY. of the republic. This roll of honor is of no small size. It was an early ancestor, Robert Wade, born before 1727, who is said to have bP-en captured by the French in the colonial wars, and died, a prisoner of war, in a fortress of sunny France, while Annias Wade was also a soldier in the French and Indian War, 1759. ~ or were these all of the heroes, as a glance_at New Jersey's soldiers of the Revolu­ tion will show. From the New Jersey records, the compiler was enabled, by the courtesy of the late Gen. William Scudder Stryker, that genial antiquarian and most efficient Adjutant-Gen­ eral of the State of New Jersey, to present a list of no less than twenty-one members of the family who were of the immortal band, fighting for freedom and all that liberty implied. They range in rank from Major Nehemiah Wade, who died in the service from exposure, to the simple private soldier, who enlisted on the first call for troops, suffered on the prison ships or served in the New Jersey line until Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown. Another, and somewhat later member of the family, Major William Wade, was a prominent officer in the United States Army_in the War of 1812. He was one of the organ­ izers of the present Ordnance Department of the Army, and his mechanical abilities and investigations won for him mention in "Encyclopedz'a Brz'tannz'ca," (Volume XXII, p. 5D7). The War of 1812 also brought six other m~mbers of the family to the service of New Jersey, as Captain, Paymaster, Quartermaster-Sergeant, Corporal or Private. Then the pleasant places of Ohio began to attract the Wades and they set out to take their part, and no small one, in the winning and the building of the great golden West. " It was a land of Promise-the bed of a great pri­ maeval lake-where the mound-builders once had erected their weird fortifications. Then the land stood empty until in time came Indians, and after the Indians the French, and after the French the English. each claiming freehold, and each in tnrn displaced, till at last, with no little rumble of wagon wheels and no uncertain sound of WADE OF NEw JERSEY AND Omo. 227

ringing axe, came the American citizen who," as Rollin Lynde Hart says "grubbed up roots, chopped down trees, built a rude cabin of buckeye logs, and set about getting himself elected President of the United States...... Now when I think of the industrial history of the Ohioans, I ask myself two questions: What kind of a man came first to conquer the wilderness ? What kind of wil­ derness had that man to conquer? The kind of man was . a miracle of rugged hardihood, virile, enduring, bellig­ erent. Think of his record in battles! 1812 put every able- bodied Ohioan in the field. The state sent more troops to Mexico than any other northern commonwealth. •Ohio' is written all over the National Cemetery at Chick­ amauga. Once the Buckeyes disputed the Michigan boun­ dary, and flung an army upon the frontier. In this recent Cuban business men fought with one another like jungle · beagts for place in the ranks. Nine-tenths of tbe Ohioans are for holding the Philippine Islands. Such men as these loved a fight with the forest; men of lesser fortitude would never have pioneered. Then, with how brilliant a dramatis persimae that age-long play began. There was first an era of falling trees. Settlers clad in linsey shirts and buck­ skin trousers, tracked the wild turkey, shot the deer, picked off the squirrel from the tallest oak, or toiled all day among stubborn roots, and made merry by night in log huts while wolves howled at the door. Meantime their wives made moan with honest Touchstone: 'Ay, now am I in Arden; the more fool I ; when I was at home I was in a better place; but travelers must be content.' Then the kind of land rewarded the kind of man. There followed an epoch of growing crops. Corn stood glistening on the red 'bot­ toms,' wheat waved in the continual strong winds, vast · fields were brown with the bearded barley. The Buckeye State was suddenly so filled with good things to eat that the;e were not months enottgh to eat them. What with Jcrseymen settling Symme's Purchase, Connecticut farmers flocking into the Western Reserve, pioneers from Mass­ achusetts taking up the lands of the Ohio Company, Penn­ sylvania developing the SevE-n Ranges, men from Norfolk and Richmond peopling the Virginia Military District, while a nondescript populace assembled in the United States Military Reserve, the resultant commonwealth still shows more or less distinct traces of its varied lineage." The ,men from the East who laid the foundations of the five great States which occupy the old North West Terri- 228 THE WADE GENEALOGY. tory, were farmers and artisans-poor in purse, but rich in the elements of character. They carried with them the patient energy which makes farms and cities, and the love of orderly liberty which builds commonwealths. "It was by slow and painful steps that the first immi­ grants made their way through the dense forests and mountains of Pennsylvania, until they reached the Monon­ gahela or Allegheny, and abandoned their wagons for the rude craft which bore them down the Ohio to plant their first settlements along its shores. Thus it was that for nearly thirty years Ohio received the whole volume 0f emigration, so that in 1810 it counted a population of 230, 7U0-six times that of all the rest of the North West." Today Columbia, in Hamilton County, Ohio, commemo­ rates on a centennial inscription, Thomas C. Wade, of this family, one of the first boatload of pioneers, landing there in 1788, and founding the Baptist Church, the first Protes­ tant place of worship organizeq in the then, new North West. Cincinnati honors and remembers her David E. Wade (1762-1842), a hero of the prison ships, who founded the first church in that city, lived there half a century, and saw fully fifty Houses of God grow up around his initial offering in the service of his Creator. His son, Melan­ cthon Smith Wade (1802-1868) was a ~Brigadier-General of United States Volunteers and an active Union man, in spite of illness, in those dark days of 1861, when treason stalked in high places and men plotted against the flag that made them free. To this same family belongs a gifted American author in the person of Mrs. Margaret Deland, famous not only for her well-known novel "John Ward, Preacher" (1888), but for a number of exquisite stories of New England life. Lastly and chiefest of all, this family cherishes the memory of Jeptha Homer Wade, the elder {1811-1890), the noble-souled philanthropist of Cleveland, Ohio; the pioneer of Western telegraphy; and first President of what is now the Western Union Telegraph Company. His life, as will be seen from his biography hereinafter printed, was WADE OF NEW JERSEY AND Omo. 229 one grand open book of great deeds well done, while his unselfish solicitude for the welfare of his _fellowmen has founded monuments more enduring than] bronze in Wade Park, Cleveland, and upon the buildings and in the bene­ faction rolls of many excellent charities. Of him it was well said at the time of his decease, full of years and honor, that the city of his home had been greatly benefitted for his having lived there. The cool glades of Wade Park, donated by him to the city of Cleveland, the Orphan Asylum, located in the handsome fireproof building con­ structed at his expense, are in themselves lasting memor­ ials of his public-spirited generosity. He was heac'I of the movement which gave Cleveland the beautiful Lake View Cemetery, and was President of the commission which planned, financed and erected the Garfield monument. In a word, he was a philanthropist, in the truest sense of the word. Loyal to the core, as Jeptha Homer Wade was, his son, Randall Palmer Wade (1835-1876), wore the shoulder-straps of a Union officer in that most momentous conflict of modern times. In conclusion, and no one knows this better than the present compiler; it is Jeptha Homer Wade and his grandson, Jeptha Homer Wade, Junior, that the Wade family owe most if not all of the present book. They first commenced the collection of genealogical data relative to the family, and to their investigations, the compiler gladly acknowledges, the entirety of the present chapter is due. ' Mention must also be made of Elias Wade, a famous merchant of old-time New York; of George Washington Wade, one of those heroes "Whose wasted figures fill The patriot gra.ves of a nation," and who awaits his Great Commander and the Last Reveille on the site of the prison pen at Andersonville; of William Wade of Pittsburg, famed for his efforts towards improving the breed of man's most faithful friend among the dumb creation-the dog; and of scores of oth~rs duly commemorated on the following pages, who, each in his or 230 THE w ADE GENEALOGY.

her chosen vocation, fought the good fight and proved the truth of Tennyson's dictum: 1 'Tis only noble to be good; Kind hearts are more than coronets And simple faith than Norman blood. This brief resume ended, it now remains to unroll the pedigree of Wade of New Jersey, commencing with Ben-. jamin Wade, the ancistor, and in so doing to discusg every possible clue as to the birthplace and origin of the first of this branch of the New Jersey W dde family to appear on American soil. The earliest American traces of Benjamin Wade, the ancestor are to be found in the account of the first settlers of the town of Elizabeth, N. J., printed in Hatfield s ,'History of Elizabeth" (pp. 172-173). The extract is ver­ batim as follows: "Benjamin ·wade was a clothier. He was, doubtless, of the family (probably a son) of Robett Wade, who was at Dorchester, Mass., in 1635, at Hartford, Conn., in 1640, afterwards at Saybrook (where, August, 1657, he was divorced), and finally at Norwich in 1659, where he died in 1682. His first wife remained in England, and Benjamin may have been her son. He came here (to Elizabeth) not later than 1675, probalily much earlier. At his first coming, he rented Luke Watson's house and grounds, which he purchased, March 16th, 1676-7, for .£24. The same day he bought of Nicholas Carter, for .£30, pay­ able in pipe staves, his house lot and 40 acres. Twenty days before he had bought for £30, Thomas Pope?s house, house-lot and 60 acres of upland. Less than two years after, he bought, January 1, 1678-9, of William Hill, his house and lot. Previous to all this he had received an allotment of 14± acres. He died about 1698." Thus, as we have seen, I1atfield suggests that Benjamin may have been a son of Robert Wade of Dorchester, Mass., who was at that place in 1635. Let us test this with the authorities. First, we find that Savage, in his "New England Genealogical Dictionary," says, "Robert Wade, Dorchester, 1635, removed tQ Hart­ ford, where he was admitted freeman in 1645, then he lived at Saybrook, Conn., where he was divorced from his WADE OF NEW JERSEY AND OHIO. 231 wife, Jane, then in England, after fifteen years of separation. He then moved to Norwich and was living there in 16G9." We find from Blake's "Annals of .Dorchester" (Mass.) that Robert Wade was one of the first proprietors of Dorchester, receiving 6 acres allotment in 1660, on the freeman's roll in 1669 and effecting an exchange of land with one Caleb Abell in 1677. Brief and disconnected references to him occur at pp. 61, 66, 86, 102, 136 and 205, but throw no light on hts ancestry. A Richard Wade received 20 acres allotment in that town as early as January 4, 1635. In the "Memorial History of Hartford County, Connecticut," (Vol. I, p. 264}, the name of this Robert Wade appears in the chapter concerning original proprietors, with the fol­ lo~ing particulars :-" Robert Wade, Dorchester, 1635, removed soon to Hartford, where .he was one of those who received land 'by the courtesies of the town;' his home lot in 1039 was on the east side of the road to the Cow Pasture, the one 'sequestered' for John Pierce; he re­ moved to Saybrook, where he was living in 1657, when he applied for and obtai_ned a divorce from his wife Joan (who had deserted him for fifteen years and was then in England). In 1669 he was Freeman in Norwich. His sort, Robert Wade, of Windham, died in 1696." Miss Caulkins, in her '' History of Norwich, Connecticut," supplies the following data as to the family of this Robert Wade (p. 205): "Wade. The name of Robert Wade is found at Dorchester, in 1635; a person bearing the same name was admitted as Freeman at Hartford, in 1640 ; at a later period it is found among the inhabitants of Saybrook, and still later at Norwich. All these notices probably refer to one person. In August, 1657, Robert Wade was divorced from his wife by tbe General Court at Hartford (Colo~ial Records of Connecticut, Vol. I, p. 301), on the ground of her refusal for fifteen years to leave England and join him in the colony. His inventory is dated June, 1682, and mentions his widow, his son Robert, and his three daughters, Sus­ sannah, Mary, and Elizabeth. Robert Wade, the younger, married 232 THE w ADE GENEALOGY. in I69r, Ab1:,:11il Ro)'ce, and is found afterwards at Windham, Conn., w!terc lte was ml111itte1l Freeman May 30, I693." Now, Benjamin Wade, the ancestor of the New Jersey Wades, was born in lGJG. Let uf see what his alleged father was doing at this date. vfe have seen from Savage and other authorities that Ro'bert, of Dorchester, had by this date removed to Saybrook, after a residence at Hart­ ford, and that in Saybrook he was, in 1657, divorced from his wife(? Joan) Jane, on the ground of her continuous residence in England for fifteen years (i. e., from before 1 (j-!'.2) and her refusal to join him in America. Therefore, .it the elate of the birth of Benjamin Wade, the ancestor, Robert 'Wade, his alleged father, had no wife with him and could not by any possibility have: been the father of the Benjamin born in 10-±G. Further, the Robert Wade of Dorchester, died, as we have seen, at Norwich, Conn., in IG82, leaving- a widow whom he had married after his divorce, a son, Robert, and three daughters, Susannah, :Mary, and Elizabeth; but his will makes no mention of a son Benjamin, who, if he were the Benjamin settled at Elizabeth in New Jersey, would have then been alive, inas­ much as Benjamin, the ancestor, did not die until about the year l;'00. Hatfield's surmise as to Benjamin ·wade's ancestry is, therefore, not only unwarranted by, but directly, opposed to the facts. Now, where could this Benjamin Wade have come from? On this point, Onderclonk's "Antiquitt'esof Jamaica, Long .fsland '' (l1s1s0), informs us that Jamaica was settled· in 1G5G by colonists from Hempstead, L. I., while according to S. J. Ahern's pamphlet, Elizabeth, Past and Present (rn:'9), the settlers at Elizabeth were from Scotland, Eng­ land, ~ew England, and Long Island. The town was founded February 10, 1G64. We may well assume that the balance of probability is in favor of an English ancestry, it being supported, not only by possibility, as shown by these 13.st two extracts, but by family evidence and tradition. COLONEL RICHARD DEAN ARDEN w ADE, u. s. A. (No. 578, p. H.17.)

WADE oF NEw JERSEY AND Omo. 233

As to this last, Mr. William Wade of Pittsburg states that there is a well settled family tradition that the ances­ tors came from the County of Pembroke in Wales. The Beebe family records say the North of England, but this rather refers to the ea:.-liest Wades who were said to have lived at Wade's Gap in the Roman Wall, and verges. on the era of myth. The possession of the ,,Velsh motto, " Y fynno Dwy y fydd,'' is, in itself, very slight evidence of Welsh origin, though it is fair to say that most careful English inquiries and searches have failed to find a Benjamin Wade born in Wales in 1G46, or indeed any Welsl1 family of that name. Wade as a name is purely Saxon and not Celtic as the Welsh were. Still, Wales was in process oi subjection in 1646, or practically subdued, and it would be easily possi­ ble f(!.r a squire, the father of Benjamin, the ancestor, to be in Wales guarding a castle under the then existing feudal system. ~ It is one of those puzzles as inscrutable as the face of the Sphinx, and as to its solution we can only say wtth Kipling in his "Conundrum of the fVorkshops:" Now if we could win to the Eden Tree, where the Four Great Rivers flow And the wreath of Eve is red on the turf, as she left it long ago And if we could come when the sentry slept, and softly scurry through, By the favor of God we might know as much, as our father Adam knew. Lastly, it has been suggested by an English genealogist that Benjamin Wade, the ancestor, was the eldest son of John Wade (No. 21!J) of Kingecrosse, near Halifax, in the County of York, England, by Mary his wife, daughter of Anthony Wate;rhouse of Woodhouse, in the same County. (As to this pedigree see D:igdale's Visitation of Yorkshire in 1665, printed in ''Surtees Society Tra1tsactions," [Vol. 36, p. 32]; recently and with additions, in " The Genealogist" [Vol. 13,pp. 112-115], and also, varying, in "Thores!ry's Leeds" [Vol. 2, p. 153] [ ed. of 181G] and as printed ante, pp. 136 and 137.) 234 THE WADE GENEALOGY.

Let us consider the probabilities of this proposition. In favor of this contention may be urged the fact that Benja­ min, the ancestor, was a clothier by trade, and that Hali­ fax, whence came these Wades of Kingecrosse, was a clothing center; that John Wade, the suggested father of the ancestor, Benjamin Wade, is said in the Herald's Visi­ tation, to have died in 1645, or thereabouts, so that Ben­ jamin's birth in 1646 is possible; that the statement in the Herald's Visitation, that this Benjamin Wade died unmar­ ried, is to be taken as on a par with the usual heraldic in­ accuracy as to any persons who were not actually present at the visitation; and, further, that there is no proof that the older Wades of New Jersey did nut follow the example of many of the wealthier and early colonists in adopting the coat and crest of the most famous ~nglish branch of the family, without attempting to prove any descent from the Wades of Kilnsay, whose arms and crest they certainly used. On the other hand, it may be urged that the death of John Wade, about 1645, or in that year, as the pedigree of Wade of Kingecrosse states, is in itself strong presumptive evidence against his being the father of Benjamin Wade of New Jersey, born 1646; that in this pedigree Benjamin, who is said to have died unmarried, is described as the eldest son, and as snch was certainly born before 1646, as his parents married on April 6, 1630, and had two other sons and one daughter, all born before the father's death in 1645; that Dugdale's Visitation was made in 1666, this particular pedigree being dated at Leeds, April 4, 1666, so that those attending the visitation and testifying as to the family were speaking of living people and of events that had occurred within twenty years of the visitation; that at the time of the visitation Benjamin, if alive, would have been twenty years old, and so old enongh to have emi­ grated; that Sir William Dugdale, who was Garter King at Arms, and the principal Herald of England, had a con­ siderable reputation for painstaking accuracy, and may be taken to have assured himself of the death of the Benjamin WADE OF NEW JERSEY AND Omo. 235 named in the pedigree, before insetting the fact as found and proved at his visitation; that if Benjamin had so emi­ grated, he would most assuredly have noted the fact at a time when the great emigration of the English to Northern Virginia was so noteworthy an event. On the whole, while the suggestion is ingenious, it must be admitted that the balance of probabilities is against it. On a question of probabilities it is much more likely that No. 23G, Benjamin Wade (ante, p. 137) (the son of John Wade and Hannah Milner), is the ancestor of the New Jersey Wades. A search of the wills at Trenton has failed to solve the problem. It may be, and it is ''a consummation devoutly to be wished" that some stray New England will may yet - solve the problem in favor of New England or that, when in the fullness of time, the English church registers shall have been re.;cued by "the art preservative of arts" from the custody of a fee-exacting clergy", Benjamin's baptism in England or Wales may be discovered and accord with family tradition. At present to search .over 18,000 parish registers at 12 cents per year, per register, a.nd G2 cents for each item found, would tax the purse of a genealogical Vanderbilt or Astor. It is only fair to state as in favor of a New England and possibly Connecticut birthplace for Benjamin Wade, that most of the early settlers around Elizabeth were New Eng­ landers and many were from Connecticut; that the place name Connecticut Farms (or Wades Farms) given by the early settlers to the present town,.ship of Union, N. J. (organized as such 1805) is strongly indicative of origin; and also that the universal Presbyterian tinge of the early settlers is also indicative of New England origin.

Married :-Ann (daughter of William Looker) about 1670. She was born in 1G49. Benjamin Wade died about 1700. His widow died July :n, 1·;·:37. (The tombstone of Ann [Looker] Wade is extant in the churchyard of the Presbyterian Church at Union [formerly Connecticut Farms], N. J., about 20 feet from the north-west corner of the church which has been erected on the site of its predecessor burnt by the British, June 8, 1~'80. It has the following inscription: "Here lyeth ye body of Ann Wade, wife of Benjamin Wade dEced. who departed this Life, july ye 31, A. Dom. 1737, & in ye 88th year of her Age.") Benjamin Wade was a clothier by trade and came to Elizabethtown, N. J., as early as 1G75, if not earlier, being one of the first settlers. He appears to have previously resided at Ja­ maica, L. I., New York, whence also came one William Looker, a brewer, probably the father of Ann Looker, the wife of Benjamin Wade, the ancestor. (William Looker was chosen and appointed a member of the Colonial Assem­ bly of New Jersey, December 2, 1G!J5. See Hatfield's His­ to,y of Elizabeth, N. J., p. 270. As to Looker family, see Savage, Genealogical Dictiona1y, Vol. III, p. iJ} Joan Looker, age 20, was a passenger on the ship Thomas, from Gravesend, England, to Virginia in 1G35. Hotten's Lz"sts of Emigrants, p. 127.) Family tradition says that Benjamin Wade'came from the County of Pembroke, in ·wales, a statement to a certain extent supported by the use of the Welsh motto, " Y Jjwzo Dte')' y f)1c!d" ( i. ~-, '• What God willeth shall be ") on the armorial bookplate in the possession of the family, assuming its origin to be authentic. It is also to be notic'ed that while Hatfield, in his History of Elizabeth, is as prompt to suggest a New England ancestry for William Looker as he is for Benjamin Wade, family tradition says that Ann · Looker was on the same vessel as Benjamin ·wade, and that on the voyage their acquaintance ripened into a regard, which resulted in marriage soon after landing. That Benjamin's stay in Jamaica, L. I., was of brief dura­ tion may be inferred from the silence of the records of that WADE OF NEW JERSEY AND OHIO. 237 town. The riddle of his ancestry is beyond any solution except that of an accidental discovery in English records. The most careful American researches and considerable work in England have failed to provide a satisfactory solu­ tion other than as suggested on previous pages, though, as will have been seen, the idea of his descent from Robert :Wade of Dorchester is preposterous and beyond belief. 'l'ht;: Records of. the Lords Proprietors of East Jersey, now in the custody of the Surveyor General at Perth Amboy, New Jersey, show that for an early settler Benja­ min Wade was an extensive landowner. Under date of March 14, 1G75 (Records, Liber II, p. 19), he obtained a warrant to the Surveyor to lay out 120 acres of uplan_d and meadow in the bounds of Elizabethtown. On February 20, 1676, a bill of sale is recorded from Mary, widow of Thomas Pope and his son John, to Benjamin Wade, in considera­ tion of £39. They then ctinveyed adwellinghousein Eliza­ bethtown with 60 acres of uplancl and 6 acres of meadow to Benjamin Wade (Liber I, p. 71). On March 16, H.i76-7, Luke Watson, for £24, payable in good merchantable pipe staves, sold to Benjamin Wade, his dwelling house and pightle in Elizabethtown, then occupied by Benjamin Wade (Liher I, p. 72).

(Virginia family.)

WADE OF NEW JERSEY AND Omo. 241 sample from which one may judge all. Family tradition makes him a captain instead of a high private. Commis­ sion records in New Jersey archives show no such officer; family tradition also says he was with Wolte on the Plains of Abraham (September 13, I759), and was subsequently taken prisoner at Old Oswego (August 14, q56), or, as some variations read, at Fort William Henry (August 9, I757). The compiler, with access to, and a fair acquaint­ ance with the contents of one of the finest libraries of colonial Americana in the United States (the late James Lenox's munificent bequest-intended for scholars-now lamentably debased and distorted into a fifth wheel for the Conglomerate Carnegierium, and mostly used by influential females searching for ancestors, who did posse-ss manners), has been unable to find a shred of evidence that ~ny colonial prisoners of war, taken by the French, were actually trans­ ported to France. Reason and expedience, (for exchange purposes), would indicate Montreal as far more probable for their place of detention. One finds from The Colonial Documents of the State of New York, Vol. X, pp 484, 773, 830 and 881, that no less than 1200 soldiers had died of disease at Oswego, bet\-,een August, 1755, and August" 15, 1756. The surrender itself included llOO men of Shirley's and Pepperell's Regiments, 600 militia (of Colonel Schuyler's New Jersey Regiment), workmen and sailors, 82 women and girls, 2 lieutenants in the Navy and 2 captains of flyboats. While a decision was made to send the prisoners to France, there is no evidence of its being carried into execution. On the contrary, docu­ mentary evidence exists of many of the prisoners being held in Canada and thence exchanged. It may be that a curious letter as to the captivity at .Montreal, of Ensign Simon Wade, of the Massachusetts family, and which letkr, preserved at Tours in France, has been printed in Notes and Queries as long ago as 1869, was the genesis of the Pau or Bayonne tradition. The fact remains that neither printed history nor probability [16] 242 THE w ADE GENEALOGY.

support it. Peace to his ashes and a pest on all such old wives' tales! Toward the close of the Revolutionary War, there was an expectation that the damagt;s committed by the British armies in their marches through New Jersey would con­ stitute a valid claim against the British government. The legislature accordingly, by an act passed December 20, 1781, appointed three commissioners in each of the several counties to take proofs of such claims. These were made out in. detailed lists of property real and personal, des­ troyed or stolen by invading soldiery, which lists: were sworn to by the persons claiming to have been damaged, or by his or her legal representatives, and supported by the affidavit of one other person claiming to have personal knowledge of the facts. In some cases the commissioners also took proofs of claims of losses alleged to have been sustained at the hands of the Continental armies with the view to presenting them to Continental Congress. It is needless to say that none of these claims were ever acknowledged or paid, either by the British or by the United States governments; but the lists of losses have been partially preserved and bound and form several vol­ umes. They are of great interest and value, not only because they indicate very clearly the devastations wrought by the invading armies, and show the routes taken by them, but because they indicate in the most vivid manner the social conditions and circumstances of the persons whose property was destroyed.

Among the traditions of the Revolution, the following are chronicled in the memory of some of the aged at this place (Connecticut Farms). A house at Lyon's Farms, about three miles distant, was CAPTAIN WILLIAM WADE, H. l\I. 88th Regiment. (No. 562, p. 195. !

WADE OF NEW JERSEY AND Omo. 257 taken possession of during the war by twenty-five Hessians, and made a place of rendezvous.· Three daring men, viz.: Matthias Wade, Barnabas Carter and --- Morehouse, determined to surprise and route them. The night was chosen and their plan laid. Wade was to shoot the sentinel in front of the house, the report of whose gnn was to be the signal for the other two to raise a shout back of the dwelling and fire into the windows. The plan was com­ pletely successful. The terrified Hessians. supposing they were surrounded by superior numbers, fled will all possible speed, leaving their guns and ammunition and other articles of value to their victorious enemies. At another time, five Hessians obtained possession of a house near the present residence of Mr. Jonathan Mulford, in the south part of the township. No sooner was it known than the dwelling was entered by Jonas and Matthias Wade and Elijah Terrill. The latter was immediately clinched, and would have been overcome by the superior strength of his antagonist, but for the timely assistance of one of his comrades, who ran the Hessian through with his bayonet. The remaining four were then taken prisoners. About a quarter of a mile east of the meeting house the road is crossed by a small brook, on the other side of which , the ground is. considerable elevated. On the western em­ inence about sixty of the people planted themselves with only muskets, resolved to dispute the passage of the British army on their march from Elizabethtown to Springfield; and so well did they make their stand that for several hours they kept the enemy at a stand and prevented their progress until their ammunition compelle

were secreted behind a shoemaker's shop, and were eye witnesses to the fate of their friend. Unwilling to see him suffer without affording assistance, Mr. ·wade crossed the street in the face of the enemy, carried away his wounded companion under cover of the shop and hou::;e behind which the unhappy Ball had fallen, and bore him to the house where Mr. Joel Searing now (1852) resides.

Jotham Wade was a member of the Lyon's Farms Baptist Church, in the records of which there are amusing entries concerning his spiritual backsliding(?) It appears that " Sister Harrison " suspected J otham Wade of the terrible and dangerous heresy of believing that unbaptized little babies were not irrevocably, immediately and irretrievably damned! and had him tried for this awful crime. "Brother Wade" had the courage of his convic­ tions and defended his proposition. As a re~ult he was excommunicated by this band of chosen and charitable saints. There is no evidence that he suffered in purse or peace of mind or that he had any feeling other than pity for the ignorance of his prosecutors.

1 JerseJ • At the battle of Springfield, June 23, 1780, Colonel Angell, commanding a regiment of Continental troops, dispatched David Everett Wade, then a youth of 19 years of age, to General Greene in order to inform him that the small arm ammunition of the patriots \Vas reduced to two rounds per man, and to· ask his instructions. Greene is said to have directed its expenditure, to be followed by an orderly retirement. In June, 1830, some of the veterans of the battle of Springfield held a reunion in the village. Among those present was David Everett Wade. His portrait is here reproduced from a valuable miniature in the possession of his descendant, William E. Guy Esq., of Saint Louis, Mo.

(n) The compiler, not being a female genealogist(?) of supernatural accuracy and completeness, desires to chronicle here an omission which has defied solution. One Cnlvin Wade enlisted as a private January 25, 1777, in the 5th troop of Sheldon's Dragoons. He is de­ scribed as a shoemaker from Morristown, N. J'., 5 ft. 8 in. high, of dark complexion, dark hair and dark eyes. He is retm·ned as a deserter. (See Revolutionary Records of Connecticut, p. 278.) In the hope of aiding some worthy D. A. R. "joiner," to attain the di~nity of a "Real Daughter" or "33rd degree Exalted Ragbag" on this deserter's record, the compiler prints this record of poor Calvin, for whom war's martial pomp had so little charm. He certainly can­ not be the Calvin chronicled above. 308 THE WADE GENEALOGY.

For many years h'e was a member of the firm of Grinnell, Minturn & Co., importers, of New York City. He retired from this firm and from active business about 1867. He was an old resident of New York City; at one time in the seventh ward, one of a ''Colony," in which its few surviving members still take pride. Later he bought a lot and built a house on Amity Street, being remonstrated with by his friends a,t the time for '' living so far out of town:" still later (between ~850 and 1860), he purchased the property 22 West 26th Street, where he spent the remainder of his life. Some nine years before his death, Mr. Wade suffered a stroke of paralysis, partially disabling his right side, and entirely preventing- the use of his right arm. His energy of character is well illustrated by the fact that shortly thereafter, when over 70 years of age, he taught himself to write with the left hand. He was a man of strong character and of' untiring energy, a judicious reader, and a clear and forcible writer, as his business and social correspondence amply attests. A true ty,pe of the old New York merchant, bis name a synonym for honesty and integrity, he was one whose word was as good as his bond, and whose success in business depended in no slightest degree in the smallest deviation from fair and honorable dealing with his fellow men. He was an ardent sportsman, one of the original members of the Currituck 316 THE WADE GENEALOGY.

Shooting Club of North Carolina, where for many years, and as long as his health permitted, he spent a portion of every winter. While never actively interested in politics, Mr. ·wade was keenly alive to the importance of good government,­ municipal, state and national,-and in act and speech ever showed himself ready and able to perform the duties devolving upon the private citizen under a democratic form of government. In national politics, he was a "War Republican." It is greatly to be regretted th::it there are available such meagre details only of a life so full of earnest endeavor and successful accomplishment.

Hervey was the son of the Reverend Henry Hervey, one of the most able and influens tial members of the Presbyterian Synod of Ohio, being then pastor of a large congregation, principal of the Martinsburg Academy and the Martinsburg Female Seminary, . both of which he founded, and editor of a religious periodical. '· Dwight B. Hervey, after leaving the academy, grad­ uated at Washington and Jefferson College in 1858, and after­ wards pursued his theological studies at Princeton and the Western Theological Seminary, graduating in May, 1861. " He had already given evidence of such remarkable abil­ ity that he was immediately called as pastor of the Presbyter­ ian Church of Mount Vernon, in which position he remained for about thirteen years, and in which he verified all the high hopes which had been formed of him. In the pulpit he was earnest, logical and eloquent;' as a pastor he was faithfnl, industrious and efficient, and as a citizen he was always kind and courteous. He was beloved by all who knew him well and highly esteemed by the entire community. WADE OF NEW JERSEY AND OHIO. 335

"In 1874 he resigned this pastorate, his people accepting his resignation with unanimous regret. The succeeding eighteen months he spent at Jersey in charge of that con­ gregation. He then accepted a call to the pastorate of the Presbyterian Church at Granville, which position he filled most acceptably for six years. "In 1881 he was elected president of the Granville Female College, filling that position for twelve years. In addition to the discharge of his official duties, he preached a consid­ '~rable portion of the time, for two years regularly filling :the pulpit of the First Presbyterian Church of Newark, 0. "In 1892 he removed to Edinboro, Pa., and accepted the pastorate of the Presbyterian Church at that place, where he remained until disabled by an attack of pneumonia in 1901. His life at Edinboro he regarded as the most useful and pleasant of his entire ministerial career, it being the location of the State Normal Schooi of Pennsylvania, and his audiences being largely composed of intelligent young men and women, by whom he was greatly respected and beloved. "Not recovering from his attack of pr:ieumonia, he in September, 1901, visited Idaho, hoping there to regain his health. Disappointed in this, he, a few weeks after, started back East, reaching Mount Vernon much exhausted and unable to proceed farther. He remained there until his death, to which he was perfectly resigned and gratified that in his last days he could be surrounded by his loving and beloved friends of former years. In October, 1900, the University of Wooster conferred upon him the degree of Ph.D. "It was a rare privilege," writes a lifelong friend, "to stand at Dr. Hervey's dying bed, and hear him whisper, between gasping breaths, words familiar to the ear, but made newly real to the heart: • Jesus can make a dying bed Seem soft as downy pillows are; While on His breast I rest my head, And breathe my· life out sweetly there.' 33G THE WADE GENEALOGY.

"And so he died, or rather fell asleep, for such it truly was. As the eyelids gently closed on earth's scenes and loved ones to whom he had clung so tightly, at the last say­ ing, 'Don't leave me,' one could almost hear, in that silent chamber, the flutter of an angel's wing, and see the glc,rious vision that opened on his sight as he looked 'Good-bye' and passed within the veil. "One turns away from such a scene as this, feeling how poor is language to describe the heavenly state. One can but say: 'If the vestibule of the King's palace is so radiant with light, and peace, and hope, arid victory, what must it be to 5tand "faultless before the throne,·· and "see Him as Heis?"'" To this modest and well-merited appreciation the com­ piler desires to add his expression of deep regret that this genial, cultivated friend did not live to see the completion of the Wade Genealogy. Full of helpful sympathy, Mr. Hervey's letters always nerved the compiler to his task. He truly feels that in Mr. Hervey he has lost a sincere and very dear friend.

The Cleveland newspapers printed these appreciations of the greatest of the New Jersey Wades, and the compiler feels that he cannot do better than to reprint them as em­ b0dying Mr. Wade's fellow townsmen's tributes to his sterling worth from those who knew him well:-- "J. H. Wade is dead; the city of Cleveland is in mourn­ ing for a man who for half a century honored the community by making it his home and the seat of his public-spirited enterprise. Full of years and honors, he has laid down the burden of life to receive the reward of work well done. "Mr. Wade was at his office Tuesday. In the afternoon he was taken ill with something resembling peritonitis. He immediately went home and to bed. That night he suffered a severe chill. The most efficient medical aid was summoned, and Dr. Biggar, Mr. Wade's family physician, was telegraphed at New York to return home at once. "Wednesday morning Mr. Wade was somewhat better, and by evening he was considered by Dr. Biggar, who had by that time arrived, to be in a very favorable state. Wednesday night he was taken with severe stomachic pains and from that time on grew worse. Thursday afternoon Mr. J. H. Wade, Jr., telegraphed his family in the east to come home, and Dr. Biggar expressed himself much disap­ pointed at his patient's failure to rally. Meanwhile Mr. Wade had been unable to retain anything but stimulants, and this lack ot nourishment constantly weakened his con• dition until at 9. 25 Friday morning he died, his death being the result of peritonitis. He had not been able to speak since midnight. His grandson, J. H. Wade, Jr., and his granddaughter, Mrs. S. T. Everett, were with him. He was conscious up to within a half hour of the last and when 356 THE w ADE GENEALOGY. the end came it was painless. In his death Cl.eveland has lost her best known citizen. No one else here had a repu­ tation so well established and so national as he. "Jeptha H. Wade was born August 11, 1811,. in Seneca county, :-.. Y., and .his early life was spent in Seneca Falls, Cayuga county. He had a strong love for painting, and abandoning mechanical pursuits, he pursued art, spending several years in portrait painting in Michigan and the Southern states, much of the time in association with Randall Palmer, an artist of considerable reputation, for whom Mr. vVade had a warm affection and after whom he named his only son. The late 40's found Mr. Wade a resi­ dent of Albion, Mich., when he added to his portrait paint­ ing- the then new art of daguerreotyping, and incidentally,as a result of his naturally investigative disposition, the study and practice of telegraphy. About 1847 or 1848, he was residing at Milan, Ohio, manager of the '' Speed's Line" office. His house w:is burned one day and for his good; his panels, canvasses, brushes and cameras were destroyed. It.was perhaps the turning point in his life. He had ac­ cumulated but little and he definitely abandoned art, giving thenceforth his entire attention to the telegraph. He promoted the building of the first line between Cleve­ land and Cincinnati, and in 1851 and 1852, the line, owing to a bad insula;ion, having never been a success, Mr. Wade secured a preponderance of its stock, reinsulated it, made it an excellent working line and began working at what he very early saw was the only way to make telegraphing a paying business-the general consolidation of the various conflicting and competing interests. The Western Union Telegraph Company was the result, and its early history is the history of Mr. Wade's shrewd and persistent work in concert with the late Ezra Cornell, John James Speed, Hiram Siblei and others. "The work was well done and it made Mr. Wade's fortune with many others. It also very nearly ended his life. The long strain, the sleepless nights, the days of travel and anxiety reduced his health to a very low point, and

w ADE OF :N" EW JERSEY AND Omo. 357 wl,en the company was fully established, Mr. Wade re­ signed his administrative position and began- to rest. Howbeit rest has never been his natural condition, and his hand has been in most of the -large business interests of Cleveland at all times since. 'l'he Citizens Savings and Loan Association was his creation, he was a heavy stock­ holder and director in the Cleveland Rolling Mill Company, and the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Raifroad Com­ pany and the principal owner of the Cincinnati & Lake Michigan Railroad. His life has ever been a busy one. "Mr. Waue was the inventor of the Wade insulator, which is still in use, and was the first to incloi:.e a submarine cable in iron armor (across the Mississippi river at St. Louis). "On his withdrawal from telegraphic administration in July, 1867, the board of directors of the Western Union passed the following resolutions:- " 'Resolved, that to the foresight, perseverance and tact of Mr. J. H. Wade, the former president of the company, we believe is largely due the fact of the existence of our great company today, with its thousand arms grasping the ex­ tremities of the continent, instead of a series of weak unreliable lines, unsuited to public want and as property precarious and insecure. "•Resolved, that we tender to Mr. Wade our congratula­ tions on the fruition of his great work, signalized and cemented by this day's el~ction of a board representing the now united telegraphic interests of the new nation.' "Mr. Wade was president of the Citizens Savings and Loan Association, a director in the Second National Bank, after­ wards the National Bank of Commerce, the Cleveland Roll­ ing Mill Company, the Cleveland Iron Company and the Union Steel Screw Company. He was also at one time and another president of the American Sheet and Boiler Plate Company, and of the Chicago and Atchison Bridge Company of Kansas. Until lately he was president of the Valley Road and a director in three railroad companies, having been the president of the Kalamazoo, Allegan & Grand Rapids and the Cincinnati, Wabash and Michigan rail- 358 THE w ADE GENEALOGY.

roads. Mr. Wade was at the time of his death the pres­ ident of the board of trustees of the Cleveland Homeopathic College and one of the trustees of the Cleveland Protestant Orphan Asylum. Municipally, he has been commissioner of the city sinking fund, park commissioner and a director of the Workhouse and House of Refuge. Mr. Wade organ­ ized the Lakeview Cemetery Association and was a member of the Garfield memorial committee. His first wife, the mother of his child, Randall P. Wade, died young. His second, Susan Fleming, lived till but a year or so since. His grand-children, J. H. Wade, Jr., and Mrs. S. T. Everett, remain in Cleveland, and there are great-grand­ children old enough to remember him. From time to time Mr. and Mrs. Wade adopted several daughters. Most of these are now married. "Mr. Wade was a peculiarly genial man and no better friend to one whom hP- liked could be found. His 'warm side ' for the boys who served under and with him in thf' early telegraph days never grew cool. "The religious side of Mr. Wade's character ~urned in later life toward the investigation of the phenomena of spiritualism, in which Mr. Wade was a firm believer. He was distinctly unostentatious in his belief and was no proselyter. But he took the utmost comfort in his religion and in the conviction that it took him into close relations u;~.n his loved son Randall, long years dead. In his church affiliations he went so far as to have sittings in St. Paul's, and in the Church of the Unity. The former he took out of neighborliness, as the church is diagonally across from his residence. The Church of the Unity, perhaps more nearly than any other church organization, embodied the advanced habit of modern thought of which he was a disciple. As a money-maker his success was great. The fortune which he leaves has been variously estimated at from $6,000,000 to $10,000,000. His charity and his public spirit were too well known in Cleveland to require com­ ment at this time.

Wade Park, and the magnificent Wade Building on Superior Street, testify to both. And in a thousand quiet ways his liberality. and his kindly feeling toward his fellow men found satisfaction in channels which wi11 always be secret. "In person, Mr. ·wade was one who once seen impressed himself indelibly upon the memory. He was 6 feet and 1 or 2 inches in height, and up to the last time he was seen upon the street carried himself erect. He seemed the taller, too, for the tall silk hat he invariably wore. Although his hair was slightly thinned he would not be called bald, and he wore in full, but without mustache, a closely cnt, iron gray beard. His gray eyes were keen and the lines of his face were strongly marked and full of force. He was imposing, dignified, striking, even handsome if you will, although his features did not wholly conform to the lines of beauty. "Mr. Wade was a democrat, and in his practice as well as theory he lived his democracy. Intensely American, his extensive travels abroad from time to time did not merge with his identity any foreign characteristics nor mar his own individuality. He was J. H. Wade at all times and in all places. " The date of the funeral has not been decided upon as yet. The family of J. H. Wade, Jr., en route from the East, are stopped on their journey home by reason of the strike." "In the death yesterday of Mr. Jeptha H. Wade the city of Cleveland loses a valuable citizen of national reputation. A resident of the city for about forty years, he witnessed the development of its modest hopes· to magnificent reali­ ties, and assisted largely in that development. Sharing in the prosperity coming from the growth of the city and the extenston of its business, he in turn made the city a sharer in his good fortune. To his taste, his enterprise and his liberality, Cleveland is indebted for no small por­ tion of its attractive features. He was the principal mover in the Lakeview Cemetery enterprise, and the unsurpassed beauty of that garden of the dead is mainly due to the artistic taste and personal supervision of Mr. Wade. As 360 THE WADE GENEALOGY. the president and controlling spirit of the Garfield Monu­ ment Association, his name will always be associated with that national memorial to a president in whose history Cleveland and its surrounding country have an abiding interest. Wade Park is a perpetual evidence of his love of nature, his artistic taste, his great wealth and his un­ bounded liberality. That rich gift to the people of Cleve­ land was the culmination of a series of generous acts in the same direction. It was conceived in the spirit that had for years thrown open the handsome private grounds and gardens of his Euclid Avenue home to all well-behaved visitors. Mr. Wade had a keen delight in the beautiful in nature and art, and his enjoyment was greatly enhanced when shared with others. It was at its height when the whole people were free to partake of the pleasure and showed that they appreciated the privilege. "In a multitude of other ways Mr. Wade manifested his generous disposition. .His gifts to public charities were numerous and liberal, though never ostentatiously dis­ played. The streams of his private benefactions were never ceasing and flowed in every direction. He gave without grudging and never in an exacting spirit, but he gave wisely and after satisfying himself that the gift would not be productive ut evil instead of good. ''The ample means which enabled Mr. Wade to gratify his generous disposition were acquired by readiness to adapt himself to circumstances and take the greatest possi­ ble advantage of opportunities that others had not yet dis­ covered. Whatever he undertook to do he did with all his might. His taste for art led him in his younger days to become a portrait painter, and when he bad won reputa­ tion and a fair financial success he chanced upon a descrip­ tion of the then recent invention of Daguerre. His in­ ventive faculty was stimulated by this, and without other instruction than the printed account he made the first daguerreotype executed west of New York. The telegraph had suddenly sprung into existence, and at a glance Mr. Wade saw its mighty future. Art was abandoned for prac-

In a short time he had organized a company of his own and built the Wade lines in Ohio and to the Mississippi river, invented the Wade insulator and the first submarine cable in iron armor, united the Wade, Hous~, Speed, and other com­ peting lines, into the Western Union. and converted a number of almost bankrupted antagonistic companies into a prosperous concern, with himself at its head. "Then came the rapid construction of the Pacific telegraph line from St. Louis to San Francisco, pointing the route for the transcontinental to follow and showing how they could be quickly built, and at last the consolidation of the lines to the Pacific coast with the Western Union, all under his own presidency. In 1867 he was the chief ruler, as well as virtually the creator, of the greatest and most pros­ perous telegraph enterprise in the world, but in the height of his power and honors the penalty of overwork and enor­ mous responsibility was· paid in broken health that com­ pelled his retirement from active connection with the Western Union Company, though he still retained a direc­ torship. From that time Mr. Wade devoted his time to his varied interests in Cleveland and to the work of im­ proving and beautifying the city with parks, public grounds and handsome residence streets."

A USEFUL LIFE ENDED. "The half-masted flags on the City Hall and the United States buildings yesterday gave but a faint public expres­ sion to the mournful feeling experienced by thousands of our citizens on hearing of the sudden death of J. H. Wade. Last Tuesday he was busy at his desk in his bank, a slight pain, believed to be merely temporary, being the incident to cast a cloud over his pathway, or to divert his attention from the wide field of usefulness in which he had been S'.) long occupied. Withdrawing to his home on Euclid Ave- 362 'I'HE WADE GENEALOGY. nue he soon became worse and breathed his last yesterday morning. "The life of Jeptba H. Wade was a career of restless­ and useful activity. He was a journeymaa carpenter, a portrait painter of rare merit, a telegraph operator, a rail­ road man, a banker, and an inventor. He was the master builder in the construction of the first telegraph line west of Buffalo, and he set with his own hands the first post west of Omaha in the line across the continent. At the head of a small party of men he strung wires all over Ohio, and several other Western States, called the '•Wade lines." Later he succeeded in uniting all the struggling, half bank­ rupt little companies into the Western Union, of which he was for many years the president and general manager. Along in the sixties he resigned his position in the West­ ern Union on account of ill health, came to Cleveland, and went into banking, and nothing could since tempt him to take any part in the business of the great concern of which he was one of the most conspicuous organizers. Of Mr. J. H. Wade it can well be said that the city of his home was greatly benefited for his having lived in it. Wade Park, which he donated to the city, and the orphan asylum, located in the magnificent fire-proof building which was constructed at his expense, are in themselves lasting monuments to his public-spirited generosity. He was at the head of the movement some twenty years ago which resulted in giving to this city the beautiful Lake View Cemetery, and he was ·president of the commission which raised the funds for and planned and carried to completion the Garfield monument. He was the founder, and up to ·the time of his decease he was at the head of the Citizens Savings and Loan Associa­ tion. When the Valley Railroad was in trouble, caused by its having been built during a period of inflation and high prices, Mr. Wade was urged to become its president, and to put the road upon its feet. He persistently declined until it was pointed out to him that the road was a Cleve­ land enterprise and its prosperily must greatly affect the growth of this city, and then he yielded.

"It was not the first time that he had sacnficed his per­ sonal inclinations, his repose and peace of mind, for the welfare of this city. "Mr. Watle was a man of the most liberal and generous nature, always ready to contribute to any good cause. At his bank he was often petitioned for aid several times a day, and no needy applicant ever went away empty-handed. After he had heard the case, if it impressed him favora­ bly, he would ask: 'How much do you need to make up the desired sum?'· His next words generally were: 'Well, you needn't go any further,' and out came the amount re­ quired. He could well afford to be liberal. During his long and busy lii:e he had amassed an immense fortune, variously estimated at from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000. He was president of or a director in a large number of great business concerns, and to each he gave tl-J.e benefit of his mature and well-trained judgment. He was always affa­ ble and agreeable and extended to all who called upon him the same polite greeting. He preferred the quiet of pri­ vate life to any public honor, and his energy antl thought were, therefore, all devoted to works of which the general public knew but very little. His real worth, his kindly good nature, his broad liberality in all things, the thought­ ful attention which he gave to every subj3ct presented to his consideration, are best known only to the compara­ tively few who came in frequent contact with him. By them his loss will be sadly motuned. But all Cleveland cannot fail to see in his decease the loss of a public bene­ factor who will be long missed and most sincetely mourned." "The announcement of the death of J. H. Wade Satur­ day morning created a profound impression throughout the city. He was not only one of the oldest, wealthiest and . most highly esteemed of the citizens of Cleveland, but his energy and untiring activity, whether in business enter­ prises or works of benevolence, had made! his face and figure familiar even to the children in the streets. No man in the city will be more generally missed or more sincerely 364 THE w ADE GENEALOGY. mourned. He was, perhaps, Cleveland's best known citizen outside the municipal boundaries. His death was as un­ expected as it was sad. He was at his office last Tuesday, and had but recently returned from a trip up_ the lakes that seemed to have refreshed him exceedingly. As the day wore on he began to feel ill. The fact that it was the anni­ versary of his wife's death in New York last year added depression of mind to bodily suffering, and at three o'clock Mr. Wade rose, closed his desk for the last time, and was driven to his home, No. 996 Euclid Avenue. Dr. Biggar, his family physician, was out of town, and Dr. Bishop, Dr. Pomeroy and Dr. Merrick were called to attend the suf­ ferer, while a telegram was sent to Dr. Biggar. On Wednesday Mr. Wade seemed better, but could retain no nourishment. 'l'hat night he was attacked with severe pains in the stomach, and when Dr. Biggar arrived Thurs­ day morning, he found him a very sick man. J. H. Wade, Jr., at once sent a telegram to his mother. Mrs. Randall P. Wade, and his wife, who was in the East with her children, informing them of his grandfather's condition. Friday was a day of comparative hopefulness, and T. H. Wade, Jr., and Mrs. S. T. Everett, who were at the bedside, were much encouraged. At 10 o'clock Friday night alarming symptoms developed, and at midnight all knew that the end was not far off. The sufferer, however, showed a wonderful tenacity of life and lingered through without marks of suffering until after 9 o'clock. Gathered at the bedside were his grandchildren, Mr. J. H. Wade, Jr., and Mrs. S. T. Everett, Mr. S. T. Everett, Mrs. Giddings, Mrs. Bidwell, Dr. Biggar, Dr. Bishop, Colonel William Edwards, and Colonel Garretson. At 9 :25 o'clock Saturday evening, Mr. Wade passed away, peacefully and resignedly, con­ scious almost to the end. "Jeptha H. Wade was born in Senecacounty, New York, August 11, 1811, so that had he lived until Monday, he would have completed his seventy-ninth year. His father, Jeptha Wade, was a surgeon and civil engineer, and withal a man sturdy of arm and strong in character. · He died WADE OF NEw JERSEY AND Omo. 365 young, but left his son the heritage of rare mechanical talent, sound health, an acute mind, and a resolute purpose. Thus equipped, Mr. Wade started in life determined to win his. way. .He learned the carpenter's trade, when to be a journeyman meant to be able to finish a house from garret to eellar. But this did not furnish sufficient scope for his ingenuity. He made and repaired clocks, mended pumps, invented new machinery to take the place of old, and even constructed musical instruments and played upon them in church and in bands with success. In those days of forced military training he became the captain of a company of 400 Seneca County riflemen and acquired such skill as a marksman, that his right to lead the company was never disputed. At the annual trials of marksmanship it is said that he was never beaten. When Mr. Wade attained his majority he proved his right to citizenship by being the owner of a sash and blind factory. At the age of twenty­ four he changed from an artisan to an artist, and under the instruction of the portrait artist, Randall Palmer, ac­ quired no little skill in transferring faces to canvas. He followed this calling for six years in the States of New York, Michigan and Louisiana, and then became attracted by the discoveries of Daguerre. He sent for a camera, which was forwarded to him at Adrian, Mich., and there, aided only by printed instructions, Mr. Wade took the first daguerreotype ever made west of New York. The confine­ ment of his artist work had impaired his health and he was just looking around for some other calling-, when the tele­ graph attracted his attention. Words had been sent through the air from Baltimore to Washington ! This marked the turning point in Mr. Wade's career. He was then in New Orleans, but came at once to Detroit, where he devoted himself to the study of the new science. He then placed himself at the head of a corps of laborers and pushed into the woods of Michigan, constructing along- the line of the Michigan Central the first telegraph line west of Buffalo. He opened, equipped, and, self-taught, conducted both as manager and operator, the office at Jackson, 366 THE WADE GENEALOGY.•

'•He soon entered the field as proprietor and began build­ ing lines on his own account. He covered Ohio and Illinois, and 'Wade's lines' were known as far west as St. Louis. At this time the manager of a telegraph line was .expected to make insulators, wires, and all other appliances required for the equipment of the line. The greatest obstacle was imperfect insulation, and here Mr. Wade stepped in and invented the famous 'Wade insulator,' which is still in use. It was imperfect insulation that made the first tele­ graph line between Cleveland and Cincinnati a failure, and Mr. Wade purchased the stock and set the business on an efficient and paying basis. In extending his lines to St. Louis he was first to demonstrate the practicability of enclos­ ing a submarine cable in an iron armor and made the world his debtor by showing that the trans-oceanic telegraph was a possibility. Mr. Wade originated the 'trust' idea, though he could not foresee to what lengths the sugges­ tion would be carried. In 1852 Wade, O'Reilly, Speed and Cornell were having. what Mr. Wade termed 'A Kilkenney Cat Fight.' ''No one was making any money. The telegraph stock was so low that whole blocks were given Mr. Wade o~ the guar­ antee that the stockholders would not _be called upon for any further assessments. Much more was bought at 5 and 10 cents on a dollar. "In 1854 Mr. Wade united his lines'with those controlled by the House Telegraph Printing Company of Rochester, and then Mr. Wade. as general manager, controlled all the lines from Buffalo, St. Louis, Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Milwaukee, and intermediate points. The later outcome of this combination was the Western Union Tele­ graph Company. Mr. Wade next turned his face toward the 'Great American Desert,' which was then said to lie between the Mississippi and the Pacific States. He became the originator and first president of the Pacific Telegraph Company. The construction, with all its difficulties, was effected under his direction. He blazed out the way which his telegraph line afterwards assisted the Pacific Railway WAD:& OF NEw JERSEY AND Omo. 367 to follow. When the Pacific Company was combined with the Western Union he became the first president of the combination and served them until 1867, when he retired on account of ill health. The Western Union adopted the following resolutions : "'Resolved, that to the foresight, pers~verance, and tact of Mr. J. H. Wade, the former president of the company, we believe is largely due the fact of the existence of our great company today, with its thousand arms grasping the ex­ tremities of the continent i 1stead of a series of weak, unre­ liable lines unsuited to public want, and as property preca­ rious and insecure. " 'Resolved, that we tender to Mr. Wade our congratula­ tions. on the fruition of his great work, signalized and cemented by this day's election of a board representing the now united leading telegraphic interests of the nation.' "With his retirement from the telegraph business, Mr. Wade begins the career of banker, capitalist and philan­ thropist wit}, ·which most Cleveland people are familiar. Few realize that Mr. Wade, whom they met so often, had achieved a national reputation as an electrician, vrhile Edison was in pinafores. In 1867 Mr. Wade organized and became president of the Citizens Savings and Loan Asso­ ciation, an office which he held until his death. He organ­ ized the Lakeview Cemetery Association, and in 1871 opened the grounds. Wade Park, which he laid out and beautified, he gave to the city, an imperishable monument to his liberality and public spirit. The Protestant Cleve­ land Orphan Asylum on St. Clair Street stands as a further proof of his regard for the welfare of the unfortunate. Some idea of the diversity of Mr. Wade's interests, and a hint of how widely his loss will be felt, can be inferred from the offices that he either held at his death or had re­ signed not long before. At his death he was president of the Citizen's Savings and Loan Association; of the Bank of Commerce; of the Kalamazoo, Allegan & Grand Rapids Railroad; of the Cincinnati, Wabash & Michigan; of the American Steel and Boiler Plate Company; of the Chicago and Atchison Bridge Company; of the Homeopathic Hos- :363 THE w ADE GENEALOGY. pita!

NEW JERSEY. "Jeptha H. ·wade was born in Seneca county, New York, August 11, 1861, the son of a surveyor and civil engineer. He early gave evidence of great mechanical and inventive ability, combined with great executive capacity. Before arriving at the age of twenty-one he was the owner of a large sash and blind factory. He studied portrait painting under Randall Thomas, the celebrated artist, and achieved considerable reputation as an artist, and when about thirty years of age he bc~came interested in the discovery of Daguerre. Being then located at Adrian, Mich., he pro- . cured a camera and took the first daguet reotype ever made west of New York; but about this time the invention of telegraphy attracted his attention, and he opened anrl equipped the Jackson office, along the Michigan Central Line, the first road built west of Buffalo. WADE oF NEw JERSEY AND Omo. 371

"Later he entered into the construction of the telegraph lines in Ohio and other Western States, which were known as the Wade lines. He made many important telegraphic inventions and improvements, among which was the Wade insulator. He was a.lso the first to enclose the sub­ marine cable in iron armor, on a line across the Mississippi River, at St. Louis. This was a very important invention, as, through it, the crossing of oceans and great bodies of water was made practicable. The numerous rival telegraph companies which had sprung up in the West were engaged in a ruinous competition when a consolidation was effected under the Western Union Telegraph Company, with Mr. ""\iVade as the general manager. ''Largely through Mr. Wade's efforts the construction of a trans-continental line was commenced under his super­ intendence in the spring of 1861, and through his efficient management, in October of the same year communication opened. In California.he conso1idated the competing lines and was made the first president of the Pacific Telegraph Company, which was in turn consolidated with the Western Union Company, and Mr. Wade was made president of the entire consolidation, a position which he filled until 1867, when he retired from active business life on account of ill health. His retirement, however, did not preclude his engaging in an advisory capacity in many large enter­ prises. He is a leading dir:ector in several factories, banks, railroads and other institutions. •'His great enterprise and interest in the development of the city of Cleveland has resulted in great benefit to that city, he having opened and improved many streets and localities, and originated the Lake View Cemetery Asso­ ciation, with its more than 300 acres of tastefully arranged grounds. At great expense he beautified an extensive tract of land adjoining Euclid Avenue, known as Wade Park, and opened it to the enjoyment of the public. He also built for the Cleveland Protestant Children's Home a fine large fire-proof building with accommodations for from 100 to 150 children. 372 'I'HE WADE GENEALOGY.

Mr. Wade's life has been one of great benefit and useful­ ness to his fellow-men, not only in his private and public charities, but in opening up new avenues of industry, thus contributing to the wealth and comfort of the community at large." '' The Citizens Savings and Loan Assodation was opened for business August 1st, 1868, with J. H. Wade as presi­ dent, and C. W. Lepper, treasurer. It was incorporate4 on the 16th day of May of the same year, under an act of the Legislature 'To enable associations of persons to raise funds to be used among their members for building home­ steads, and for other purposes, to become a body cor­ porate.'" (From Kennedy's History of Clei1eland, p. 345.) "An effort had been made to secure for Cleveland, from the State Board of Agriculture, the Ohio State Fair of 1870-71, but the :request was met by a refusal. This decision, no doubt, had much to do with Cleveland's deter­ mination to have a permanent fair of her own. The question was agitated, and at a meeting of citizens it was determined to form the Northern Ohio Fair Association, which was duly incorporated on February 26, 1870, by the following gentlemen: Amasa Stone, J. H. Wade, J. P:Rob­ ison, Worthy S. Streator, S. D. Harris, Azariah Everett, Amos Townshend, 'William Bingham, Henry Nottingham, David A. Dangler, William Collins, Oscar A. Childs, Lester L. Hickox, Oliver H. Payne, Alton Pope, and Waldo A. A. Fisher." (Ibid. f 405.) '' On January 1, 1871, the penal and corrective depart­ ments of the city were divorced from the infirmary, and established in a large and well-appointed structure of their own, on Woodland Avenue. The Cleveland Workhouse and House of Correction was the official title of this new institution. The building was erected at a cost of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The first board of directors consisted of Harvey Rice, J. H. Wade, George H. Burt, S. C. Brooks, and William Edwards. " The greatest step ever taken by Cleveland in the direc­ tion of a park system came through the munificent action w A DE OF NEW JERSEY AND Omo. 373 of an honored and wealthy citizen. J. H. Wade had pur­ chased a great area of land, to the north of Euclid Avenue, at the extreme eastern end of the city, and by large ex­ penditures of money had made a beautiful park, in which the skill of the landscape artist had touched the attractions of nature but to adorn. In 1882, Mr. Wade donated this park to the city, on condition that seventy-five thousand dollars should be expended in improvements. The gift ,vas accepted, and Wade Park now stands as a perpetual monument to the foresight and generosity of Jeptha H. Wade.'' (Ibid. p. 415.) ·•When it was learned that President Garfield would be buried 1n Lake View Cemetery, a movement was at once set on foot to raise funds_ for a fitting monument. A meet­ ing was held, and J. H. Wade, H. B. Payne and Joseph Perkins were made a committee to solicit money from the entire nation for this purpose. It was found, however, that the importance of the undertaking demanded a more businesslike system than, had yet been employed, and in June, 1882, the Garfield National Monument Association was incorporated under the laws of Ohio. It was composed of the following prominent Ohioans; Governor Charles B. Foster, ex-President Rutherford B. Hayes, Senator Henry B. Payne, J. H. Wade, Joseph Perkins, T. P. Handy, D. P. Eells, W. S. Streator, J. H. Devereux, Selah Chamberlain, John D. Rockfel-ler, John Hay, and J. H. Rhodes." (.Ibid. p. 453.) "Another event directly connected with municipal Cleve­ land, but of a far less pleasing character than the opening of this great thoroughfare, occurred in the fall of the same year-1888. This was the defalcation and flight of Thomas Axworthy, city treasurer. Axworthy's property in Cleve­ land was found to be good for about $155,000. This left some $125,000, which the treasurer's bondsmen made good. These bondsmen were Selah Chamberlain, T. P. Handy, James F. Clark, J. H. Wade, H. B. Payne, W. J. Gordon, and John Tod. Cleveland has been enriched at various times by the magnificent benefactions of her worthy men, 374 'l'HE WADE GENEALOGY.

and the deeds of Leonard Case, J. H. Wade, John D. Rock­ feller, W. J. Gordon, Amasa Stone and others." (Ibid, _p. 479.) Truly Jeptha Homer Wade has left his greatest monu. ment in his life and good deeds in the city of his adoption. But most fittingly the memory of his deeds has been enshrin­ ed in a classic Greek temple in Lake View Cemetery, Cleve­ land, Ohio. This monument, erected by his grandson, Jeptha Homer Wade, and presented to the cemetery for proper use, has been appropriately and thus described:- ''This memorial chapel, situated in Lake View Cemetery, Cleveland, 0!1io, is built of light Barre granite, from the designs of Messrs. Hubbell & Benes, and is classic in all its details. The portico, arranged to form a carriage driveway, is supported by fluted Ionic columns, and the building is surrounded by half-columns of the same order. The chapel doors are of solid bronze, and bronze grilles protect the vestibule. Beneath and at the rear of the building, with an entrance from the lower drive, is the crypt, lined with white marble and floored with mosaic. An elevator is arranged to lower the casket from the ped­ estal in the chapel to the crypt. "The interior of the building is ornamented with bronze, marble, marble mosaic, glass and glass mosaics. The decorations were designed by Mr. Louis C. Tiffany, and executed under his direction, at the Tiffany studios in New York. The main flooring and that of the platform at the head of the chapel are laid with mosaic, with a border of wave design. Around the lower walls is a wainscot of white Georgia marble. The ceiling is of the same mate­ rial, and is divided by beams into panels bordered with an inlay of glass mosaic. "'l'he title subject of the decorations of the walls at the sides and head of the chapel, is "The Voyage of Life," and is a symbolic interpretation of the Biblical doctrines of Mortality and Immortality. ''Along the side walls are pane)s of glass mosaic, each eight feet in height and thirty-two feet in length, executed WADE OF NEW JERSEY AND Omo. 375 from designs by Frederick Vnlson. In the left hand panel the artist has taken his theme from the Old Testament. The picture is of a barg~ manned by seven rowers, sym­ bolizing the seven pillars of wisdom, and representing the Prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, David, Ezekiel, Hosea and Micah. Above them in the barge, is a company of figures, the symbolic meaning of which is explained in the following lines:- ,, I saw a vessel without breath of wind. It tacked the Gre,at Sea waters; and it bore Tall forms, that symbols held, of many a kind. Seven Sages labored at the bending oar; And at their sides, along the bulwark, hung Seven Blazoned Shields, inscribed with mystic lore. Isaiah, who the coming union sung Of Jew and GenUle, was their leader bold ; From out whose lips the words like Arrows sprung ; Sharp as a Falchion was the tale he told. And next the bard of Sorrow rowed in tears ; And then the seer who braved the Lion•s:hold, And saw the glory of the coming years. The Sword and 'l'rumpet marke·d Ezekiel's shield, Who sounded hope on Chebar's banks, to ears That doubted ; Crown and Harp, on azure field, Was David's badge; Hosea's Scutcheon blazed With Scourges, for his strokes the nation healed. Behind him, Micah, on the horizon gazed And saw the Star of Bethlehem arise. 'Twas by their strength the vessel swiftly passed From Nile, and nil its land of mysteries. Far seaward; many a tempest sore it dared 'Twixt Pharos and the Piers of Hercules; From bay to bay,.from isle to isle it steered, Bright as a constellation, for on high Above the rowers rank, their forehead reared', Crowding from stem to stern, a Company With trailing robe, and radiant face austere, Some winged, some mantled close in mystery; While rang the rower's chant in many an ear, O'er the Great Sea, from dawn to setting day Till all the world could read the symbols clear. Not Argo flashing homeward on her way Freighted with gold, in greater glory sped; 376 THE w ADE GENEALOGY.

And God's Will from the Urim's mirror dark Is flashed, and henceforth on the Throne of Peace The Fear of God is set with Tables Twain, Whereon a1·e writ the Statutes Ten, and these The Law, that is but liberty, contain. For from that Throne those ordinances stream Like striot and saintly Guards of life's domain, One in the Burning Robe did Reverence seem; Guarding the lfoLY NAME: while two display The Cloud and Pillar lit with fiery gleam; "I AM THE LORD THY Goo; My Sabbath Day Revere;" they cry, while she who rules the home, Bears the Win~:ed Heart of infants who obey. Next to control and check the spirits that roam From fealty of love, is Purity, Crowned with a Lily, clean and white as foam Of ocean; while another, standing by, Waves in her hand, to cure the thirst for blood, An Olive Branch, and Scales that steadfast try The words that pass in judgment on the good. Next, she who would man's treasure keep from harm Not by locked bolt, but trustful brotherhood; With her this Key of Safety bears the palm. Ahd that the curb upon thy passions sef Forbids thee rob another's home of calm, Or tread in dust the marriage coronet, The Bridle-bearing Guardian doth attest, The last one holds a Torch, lest men forget Cloudless to keep the chamber of the breast From wishes foul, as fearing to offend The eye all.seeing of the Mightiest. i{'(!''' ...,.,· c{!~~> ;~,:

And on that m1rstio band I saw descend, Dove-like, the Spirit ; :from His Wings He shook Wisdom, the Faculty to comprehend, Knowledge, and Speech without or craft or crook; Four maidens bear their.treasury complete- The Tree of Life, th11 Balance, and the Book­ Resistless weapons of the Paraclete.

And others bring in sight the mysteries Of sacrifice for erring mortals meet; Whether the wrath Divine they would appease With Doves, for idle faults of Ignorance; Or with the Fleecy Victim bring release From guilt of Wilful Sin and arrogance.

But a far more festive train Appeared with such rare offerings as renew The joy of L:ife, and banish fear and pain, And make mankind rejoice before the Lord, And trumpets call the people once again To stand before their God with one accord, Pressing with gladness to the Place divine, And next the Plaee itself, where it adored JEHOVAH, I beheld; for, lo! a Shrine Set on the prow, supremely eminent, That shone with gold and color opaline ; There was the "Volume of the Covenant, The Ark itself, the very Mercy Seat; And one with 11arland crowned and jubilant Of God the F'irst Fruits of the teeming plain, And there were Altars set, and Incense sweet To heaven ascended, and the Lamb was slain. 1 And, by the finions of an Angel fanned, The scented cloud rose to the heavenly fane. And at the prow I saw Two Altars stand, One smokeless and serene, and one that shed Sweet savor of burnt Offering o'er the land, And round its Unhewn Stones the Scarlet Thread Was twined, to tell of Pardon bought with Blood; And a Hand pointed, borne on Wings outspread, 378 THE w ADE GENEALOGY.

A Stretched Out Arm led on, across the flood, To the dim distance, where the harbor lay, The Promised Land of Ever1asting Good. Where types and Shadows shall have passed away.

AND Lo! Another Bark of Life floats by, Seven oarsmen stout within it sit, arow, With swelling thews their ashen blades to ply; While the wheat's golden fillet binds each brow; For with life's sweat they win the prize of bread, Champions of might, and o'er gunwales show The shields of saintly warriors once who bled, In barren fields of pagan ignorance, The seed of knowledge and of life to spread. On buckler broad the steel-clad saint of France Is pictured ; there shines red St. George's sign; St. Andrew's cross for Scotland does advance; St, Patrick's staff the vanquished serpents twine; While the Welsh harp is on St. David's shield; I saw for Spain 8t. James's emblems shine; For Italy, upon a verdant field, St. Anthony emblazoned-toilers all, WhQ met the brunt of toil and would not yield. And life to them was nothing dark nor small Nor fruitless; •twas a royal voyage spent With pageantry, as of a festival; For o'er those rowers gleams magnificent The stately host that is their company; And white winged Time ·1pon the tiller bent, With healing skill, but wt - 'ing at his thigh The sword that strikes the rebel to the ground; Yet, as he steers, gray Penitence is nigh And Hope whose harp soft music flings around; While, like some shepherd mild. stands Charity With thought for lone and lost ; and I saw crowned Above the rest, beneath a canopy, Bearing the palm, while on her outstretched hand Perched like a quick-winged hawk, was Victory, The miia;hty _Form tha.t did tha.t ba.rk command; For God's Grace is the vessel's admira;l; And a;t her bidding stands a wondrous band.

And broad, yet leading to the gate of doom; And Fortitude that does the sceptre bear O'er circumstance, and Justice that will sheathe Or draw her falchion, as may God ordain ; These are the 11trong support of all who breathe.

And as my eyes this pageant did enchain I turned to him, whose forehead, wreathed with bay, Grew smooth and radiant as he watched the train. '' Master," I said, •• what means this bright array Of voyagers?" Then smiling he replied: "1\11, who in service hard, consume their day, Of Christendom are Champions sanctified; For lowliest te,sks win oft the highest meed." "And who are those assembled, side by side, In dazzling ro·bes with symbols hard to read," I asked, " like angels, issuing from heaven's gate ?" "Nay," he replied reprovingly, "No need Heavenward to mount to find them, whose estate · Is of the earth, in which their service lies. These are the deeds of such who strive to wait On hnman waut, and human miseries, And struggle to repair life's struggling lot." And there I saw, like dazzling seraphs, rise Each act of mercy that has solace wrought For corporal want and woe ; when death is near The Bonsal with its lamp and bell is brought; The captive visited; and to her breast As some sweet maid welcomes with tender care The wanderin1~ dove, so houseless ones find rest 'N eatb hospitablt, roofs; parched lips receive That cup of witter by the Master bleat ; For naked ones does loving labor weave Apparel, and the famished find their bread.

With such bright ministries to those who grieve Thus shone th.e ship of life, as on it sped; And at their front seven others did appear, So that perplex:ed to my sage Guide I said: "But who are these whose face and form austere Are yet with grace immortal dignified ?" "Since man iR formed, as Holy Writ makes clear, Of body and of spirit," he replied, '' And in tho ~pirit can affected be With suffering and infirmity, beside 380 THE WADE GENEALOGY.

His pangs corporeal, the ministry Of spiritual mercies he demands. These therefor,~ form that heavenly company That ever in life'11 common pathway stands, With those whose life is in the spirit spent : Whose service is not only of the hands, But keeps the heart and intellect intent On duty towards their fellow men: one prays And, sweet as incense, up to heaven is sent, The prayer for others; Patience meekly lays Crossed hands upon her bosom, when despite And wrong are done her; love with pardon pays For injury, and wreathes the spear of might, Which v!'ngeance carries, with the olive leaf. Yet love shall still correct and lead aright The erring; Love shall dry the tears of grief; And counsel shE11l weigh well e'er she decide, Nor spare to draw the sword, however lief To pity; and when darkness mantles wide The world, and ignorance of God is rife, There does an angel in man's heart abide Among the band 1;hat glorifies our life, 'ro teach the blind and ignorant their way."

He paused, and then as one, whose heart. at strife With suffering, bad for many a bitter year Walked with this shining escort through the dark, He pointed, silent, tu the long array That nearer to the prow of tht swift bark Were clustered. There p;· 'osophy, I saw Crowned queen, and on a tablet did she mark The circle of her thought, that could not draw Within its line the threefold mystery Of Godhead. Penance, for the broken law Bleading beneath ft thorny crown, was by, And Baptism. in symbol meet, was plain l;nameled on an ensign lifted high; There, never is the water poured in vain From out the BapHst•s shell, but fl.oats the Dove O'er river fount. or consecrated fane.

Than all good deeds of man that love contrives, Here on this hu_rrying ship our Lord would place The \owering angel of that Sacrament Where man with God converses face to face, Rounding his life with infinite content.

Over the panel ()f the Old Law, wrought in mosiac, in gold letters on a white background, are the following pas­ sages: "Behold I come quickly; hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown; fear ye not, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, for the Grace of God, that bringeth salvation, hath appeared to all men and hath brought life and immortality to light. It is given unto you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. To live is Christ and to die is gain. Behold the tabernacle of God is with men and He will dwell with them and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." Over the panel of the New Law, wrought in like man­ ner, is the following passage: "The former things are passed -away and He that sat upon the throne said : Behold I make all things new, and He said unto me: Write, for these words are true and faithful, and He said unto me: 1t is done. I am Alpha ·and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst, · of the fountain of the water of life freely; he that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be ·his God, and he shall be my son. The Lord God of the Holy Prophets sent His angel to shew unto His servants the things which must shortly be done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the City." 382 THE WADE GENEALOGY.

At the head of the chapel, on the right and left, are panels of glass mosaic, with inscriptions in white letters on a gold background. The one at the left. contains the following: "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received. How that Christ died for our sins according to the Sc:riptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according. to the Scrip­ tures, and that He was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve, after that He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep; after that He was seen of James, then of all the Apostles, and last of all He was seen of me also, as of one horn out of due time: For I am the least of the Apostles that am not meet to be called an Apos­ tle, because I persecuted the Church of God." The panel on the right contains the foll9wing: "But now is God risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them who slept: for since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead: for as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive: I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord; he that believeth m Me though he were dead yet shall live, and who­ soever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die: I know that my Redeemer liveth and that He shall stand at the lat­ ter day upon the ea:rth, and !:hough after my skin, worms destroy this body, yet in my .~ sh shall I see God, whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold and not another." Between these panels is a large window, representing the consummation of. the Divine promise, in the passing of the soul from the earthly abode to the heavenly home. The window, which was designed by Mr. 'l'iffany, shows, in the lower portion, an open tomb in a dark fore­ ground, typifying the sorrows of life that end in death. About it, a luxuriant growth of poppies, the emblem of sleep, and lilies, a symbol of resurrection, voice the hope · in immortality that extends beyond the grave. Here the motive of the design changes, marking the departure from WADE ()F NEW JERSEY AND OHIO, 383 the earthly to t:ie heavenly, from the material to the spir­ itual. The background of the lower half of the circle is treated to represent the sea of crystal described in the Apoc::i.lyotic vision as flowing before the throne of heaven. Rising 1. ' it is a bank of fleecy clouds, dividing the sea from the firmament. Rising from the clouds, in the form ,,fa cross, is a flight of ascending doves, emblematic of the resurrection and the passing upward · of the soul to that peace which the world cannot give. Over this is the figure of the Saviour, sr,rrounded by the angelic hosts of heaven. Above this is a rainbow, bright in glory, signifying the victory over the. grave, and the futility of the sting of death." A cultured and highly educated member of this family writes: ''I doubt if there is a more beautiful small piece of architecture in America than the little Greek temple which surmounts the vault.
