Wade & Webb Family History

The Wades of New York

The Wade line: the ancestors of Webb Wade on his father’s side. The Webb line

The Wade line reaches back to Edward Wade Jr., born in England in 1788, whose son James M. Wade was a builder and real estate broker in Williamsburgh, and in whose house Trinity Baptist Church was organised in 1874. Four generations of the family worked in the building trade, moving from Brooklyn to Richmond Hill and out across Long Island, and they married into the Goodriches of New Jersey and Brooklyn, the Marritts of Essex and the Lynas family of Rockaway Avenue. Frank Edward Wade, a builder and a naval officer in both world wars, married Hilda Webb in 1933, and their son Webb Wade was born in Brooklyn in 1938.

The Wade line is traced through five generations of men in New York, from Edward Wade Jr., born in England in 1788, to Frank Edward Wade, a Long Island builder who died in Queens in 1976.1 The family lived first in New York City, then across the East River in Williamsburgh and Brooklyn, and from the 1890s in Queens, where its builders put up houses from Richmond Hill out to Garden City.2 Four generations of the family worked in the building trade, and Baptist churches run through its history: one was organised in a Wade house, and a Wade was among the founders of another.3 Where the family's name came from is not known: the FamilySearch tree records that Edward Wade Jr. was born in England, but not where, and names neither of his parents.4

Edward Wade Jr. and his children

Edward Wade Jr. is the earliest known man of the line.5 The FamilySearch tree gives him five children, all born in New York between 1816 and 1824: James M., Edward, Mary Ann, Parkineson and Williams.6 No source is attached to his birth or to any of the children's, and the tree records no wife for him and no date or place for his death.7 Inference The children's births in New York from 1816 suggest that he had left England by about 1815, but no record shows when he came or where he lived.8 Newspaper and burial indexes searched for him have so far shown only men who cannot be him, among them a congressman from Cleveland, Ohio.9

His eldest son, James M. Wade, was born in New York on 12 February 1816, a date the tree gives without a source; what his middle initial stood for is not recorded.10

Williamsburgh

James M. Wade married Eliza Ann, who was born on 1 March 1816 in Gold Street, New York City, by the account she gave the Brooklyn Daily Eagle at her 98th birthday.11 No record of the marriage is known; their eldest son, James Duncan Wade, was born in New York City on 15 March 1838.12 In old age Eliza Ann told her visitors of the reception given in New York to General Lafayette, which she attended as a young girl and at which, the Eagle reported at her death, she shook his hand; she also remembered crossing the East River on one of the first steam ferry boats.13

The family made that crossing for good, to Williamsburgh in Kings County, a separate town from the City of Brooklyn until it was joined to it, after which the Brooklyn papers called it the Eastern District.14 When they moved is uncertain: one of Eliza Ann's obituaries says she came to Brooklyn in 1845, while the obituaries of two of her sons place their births in Manhattan, in about 1847 and in 1853.15 The federal census of 1850 recorded James and Ann Wade at Williamsburg, and the New York State censuses of 1855 and 1865 found the household in the City of Brooklyn.16 At his widow's death James M. Wade was remembered as "one of the pioneer builders and real estate brokers in the Eastern District," who "erected many of the old landmarks still standing" there.17 His son James's letters from the Civil War name both trades in his lifetime: in February 1864 James wrote, "If Father should get to building again. or get into some business when he can use my money why do so," and in September he wrote of "the real Estate business he has been at it so long that he has the confidence of the business men and knows all the points of the Trade."18

The couple had six children, of whom a son and a daughter died in early childhood; the four sons who grew up were James Duncan, John Edward, William Henry and Durlyn.19 On 18 December 1874 Trinity Baptist Church was organised at James M. Wade's house, 10 Kossuth Place, after meetings that he, Eliza Ann and their sons John and Durlyn had attended from that October.20 He was long a deacon of the church, a deacon being one of the lay officers elected in a Baptist congregation to assist the pastor.21 James M. Wade died in Brooklyn on 1 April 1876.22

Eliza Ann outlived him by almost forty years, living from about 1900 with her son Dr. John E. Wade, latterly at 908 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn.23 Her 98th and 99th birthdays, celebrated at his house in 1914 and 1915, brought together four generations of the family, from her son John to her great-grandchildren, among them Frank E. and Ethel Wade.24 She died at 908 Greene Avenue on 15 December 1915, in her hundredth year, and was buried in the family plot at Cypress Hills Cemetery.25

Eliza Ann's family

Eliza Ann's maiden name is the oldest open question in the line.26 The New York City record of her son William's marriage in 1868, made in her lifetime, names his mother as Eliza Marvin.27 Her obituary in the Eagle, on the other hand, calls her "the daughter of John and Mary Elizabeth Wade, both dead more than half a century," and her New York City death record names her parents as John Wade and Mary Hickey.28 The FamilySearch tree follows the death record and places her among the nine children of John Wade, born in New York City in 1781, and Mary Elizabeth Hickey; the death record of another of those children, Edward Wade, who died in Brooklyn in 1908, names the same parents.29 Inference Either she was born a Wade and married a man of the same surname, or she was born a Marvin and those who reported her death gave her parents her married name; the 1868 record is the better evidence for her maiden name, but the question stays open until her own marriage record is found.30 The Eagle also wrote that her "ancestors were of old English stock," a family tradition the paper did not explain.31

Two brothers at the war

Two of the sons served in the Civil War.32 In the summer of 1862 James Duncan Wade, who had begun to study medicine, and his brother William were at Fort McHenry, Baltimore, with a regiment enlisted for three months, and both then joined the 176th New York Volunteers, which was sent to Louisiana.33 The letters they wrote home between 1862 and 1864, kept by the family and collected as "Brothers at the Front," can be read, with images of every page, at brothersatthefront.com.34 From June 1863 to September 1864 they were addressed to their father at 183 South Sixth Street, Williamsburgh.35

James was taken prisoner when Confederate forces surprised Brashear City, Louisiana, on 23 June 1863, and was released on parole, a promise not to fight again until formally exchanged for a Confederate prisoner.36 That autumn he won a commission in the Corps d'Afrique, the regiments of Black soldiers then being raised in Louisiana, and from November 1863 he commanded a company as first lieutenant in Texas, near the mouth of the Rio Grande, until October 1864.37 William, who had enlisted for three years but had been mustered in, that is formally enrolled, for nine months, slipped aboard the steamer that came for the regiment's nine-month men late in 1863, hid below until it had sailed, and was home in Williamsburgh by Christmas.38 James sent most of his pay home to be banked, saving, he wrote in January 1864, for "two complete courses of Medical Lectures," and by June 1864 William had opened a store of his own.39

Both came home to Brooklyn.40 James qualified as a physician and practised in the Eastern District until he died in 1902, his son Dr. Henry A. Wade working with him; their brother John, who had stayed at home during the war, also became a doctor, and practised in Brooklyn for the rest of his life.41 William went into his father's trade as a carpenter and builder.42

William Henry Wade and the Goodriches

On 10 August 1868 William Henry Wade married Emma May Goodrich, a daughter of Elisha Bates Goodrich, a storekeeper of the Eastern District.43 The Goodriches came from New Jersey.44 Elisha Bates Goodrich was born there on 27 March 1809, by the tree's account a son of John D. Goodrich, of Shrewsbury, Monmouth County, and Sarah White, whose marriage is recorded in New Jersey on 22 August 1809, five months after that date.45 Elisha's New York City death record of 1891 indexes both his parents as "Unknown".46 Inference The link to John and Sarah therefore rests on the tree alone; it is plausible, since all three were of New Jersey, but it is not proved, and either one of the dates is wrong, the record of 1809 belongs to another couple, or Elisha was born before the wedding.47

Elisha married Eliza Van Velsor, born in 1809 and, by the return of death of her daughter Emma, the form on which a death was reported to the New Jersey authorities, on Long Island; they lived in New York City in 1840 and 1850.48 By 1855 they had crossed to the 16th Ward of Brooklyn, a ward being one of the districts into which the city was divided for elections and administration, and in 1857 Elisha opened a store at the corner of Stagg Street and Union Avenue, in the Eastern District, which traded for forty-two years as E. B. Goodrich & Son.49 The Goodriches and the Wades were both counted in the Eastern District at the state census of 1865, the Goodriches in the 16th Ward and the Wades in the 13th.50 Inference That is the likeliest setting for William and Emma's courtship, though no record says how they met.50 Eliza died on 5 March 1883, and Elisha died in Brooklyn on 13 June 1891 and was buried in Riverhead Cemetery, Suffolk County, on Long Island.51 Her children's records spell her surname in many ways, among them Van Velsor, Vanvalsor, Van Velzer, Velser and Velson.52

William and Emma's first child, William Henry Wade Jr., was born at Yonkers, Westchester County, on 30 June 1869.53 A second son, Harry Elisha Wade, was born in 1872, at Elizabeth, New Jersey, according to his obituary, or in Brooklyn, according to the tree, which gives no source, and a daughter, Nella Augusta, in Brooklyn on 5 July 1880; the federal censuses of 1870 and 1880 found the family in Brooklyn.54 In July 1876 the Brooklyn Times Union named "Mr. William H. Wade" as the architect and builder of Dr. John E. Wade's new house on Kossuth Place.55 Inference The paper does not call the two men brothers, but no other William H. Wade is known in the family's circle, and the identification is very probable.55 Emma died at Morristown, New Jersey, on 6 March 1888, aged 42, three weeks after arriving there from Brooklyn.56 By 1900 William was living in the Twenty-sixth Ward of Brooklyn, the East New York district, and by 1908 at 415 Grant Avenue, Richmond Hill, Queens; he died suddenly at Ocean Grove, New Jersey, that July.57

Ocean Hill: the Marritts, the Thompsons and the Lynas sisters

By 1891 William Henry Wade and his sons belonged to the Ocean Hill Baptist Church in Brooklyn.58 A "basket sociable" of the church's young people's society in November 1891 brought together William H. Wade Sr., William H. Wade Jr. and Harry E. Wade with the sisters Edith and Nellie Thompson and with Martha Lynas.59 Both brothers married into that company.60

Nellie Thompson had been born Ellen Mathilda Marritt at Loughton, Essex, England, in 1875, the youngest of the daughters of William Marritt and Eliza Keel.61 Her father, then a shepherd, had married Eliza Keel in the parish church of Hendon, Middlesex, on Christmas Day 1857, after banns, the announcement of an intended marriage read in church on three Sundays beforehand.62 The register names his father as James Marritt, a labourer, and hers as William Keel, a sexton, the parish officer who kept the church and churchyard and often dug the graves.62 It spells the family name Marrott, and later records have Marritt and Merritt.63 Eliza's own death record of 1925 gives her parents as "Wm. Pryor" and "Elizabeth Keel," and the tree, taking the surnames to have been transposed, names her mother as Elizabeth Prior.64 By 1860 the Marritts were in Essex, and by 1871 at Loughton, where the tree records William Marritt as a farm bailiff, the manager of a farm on its owner's behalf.65 At the census of 1881 Eliza Marritt, a married woman, was keeping a shop at Easton Cottage, Loughton, with four of their daughters, Ellen among them; her husband was not in the household, and what became of him is not known.66

Ellen came to the United States, by her obituary, at the age of eight.67 In Brooklyn her mother was the wife of William Thompson, born in Norway in 1826 according to the tree; when they married is not known, but Eliza was still Mrs. Marritt in April 1881.68 The tree records William Thompson as the adoptive father of Edith and Ellen, the man who raised them rather than their father by birth, and they took his surname: in Brooklyn Ellen was Nellie Thompson, who sang soprano in the Ocean Hill church's double quartet.69 On 18 October 1893 the Rev. George F. Warren, pastor of the Ocean Hill Baptist Church, married Ellen M. Thompson to William H. Wade Jr., a carpenter, and on the same day her sister Edith to Matthew P. Frost; both certificates name the bride's father as William Thompson, and he signed both as a witness.70 Eliza Thompson died in Brooklyn on 1 February 1925.71 Her eldest daughter, Elizabeth Jane Marritt, died in 1942 at Dr. Wade's Hospital, 495 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, in the care of Dr. H. A. Wade, and William H. Wade Jr. petitioned the Surrogate's Court of Kings County, the New York court that deals with wills and estates, for the probate of her will, the process by which a will is proved.72

Harry E. Wade married Martha H. Lynas, a daughter of James G. Lynas, at her parents' home, 100 Rockaway Avenue, Brooklyn, on 31 October 1900, and her sister Josephine attended her.73 Ellen Wade died at Liberty, Sullivan County, New York, on 16 July 1906, aged 31, after an illness of a year and a half, leaving two children, Ethel E. and Frank E.74 In 1909 her widower married Josephine Lynas, so that the two Wade brothers had married two Lynas sisters.75 Harry, "a builder of Queens Boro," of Richmond Hill, died on 22 July 1920, and neither his obituary nor Martha's estate notice of 1928 names any child.76 Josephine outlived her husband and died on 15 February 1965; she was buried at Maple Grove Cemetery, Kew Gardens, Queens.77

Richmond Hill

William Henry Wade Jr. took his family to Richmond Hill, Queens, in 1894, by his wife's obituary, or in 1893, by his own, and they lived on Lefferts Avenue near Jamaica Avenue.78 There, his obituary says, "entering the building construction business, he developed large areas of Richmond Hill, Hollis and Queens Village and in Garden City and elsewhere on Long Island."79 He was one of the incorporators of the Richmond Hill Baptist Church, organised as a society in 1897, and in 1902 its clerk, the officer who keeps the minutes and the roll of members.80 He was president of the Richmond Hill Republican Club for seven years and, for a year and a half until April 1916, chairman of the Queens Republican County Committee, the party's governing body in the county; Governor Charles S. Whitman spoke at the dinner given in his honour that April.81 In 1920 he was among the founders of the Richmond Hill Savings Bank.82

On 7 March 1922 William H. Wade, Inc., of Hewlett, Long Island, was chartered "to deal in real estate, etc.," with William H. Wade and an F. E. Wade of the same address among its directors.83 Inference That F. E. Wade was very probably his son Frank, then 25.83 By 1931 the firm was selling houses "of the English Tudor type" at Kensington Gardens, West Hempstead, and in 1938 and 1939 it was building Wade's Colonial Cottages, 75 brick houses on Jericho Turnpike at New Hyde Park, with "Frank Wade, in charge of construction."84 By 1933 William H. Wade Jr. was living at Forest Hills, Queens, and he died at his home there, 118 Puritan Avenue, on 4 November 1945; some three hundred people came to his funeral at the Richmond Hill Baptist Church, and he was buried at Maple Grove Cemetery, Kew Gardens.85

Frank Edward Wade

Frank Edward Wade was born at Richmond Hill on 12 April 1896 and grew up in his father's household in Queens.86 He was a graduate of Cornell University, class of 1919, and an ensign, the lowest commissioned rank in the United States Navy, in the Naval Aviation Service during the First World War.87 On 8 August 1933 he married Hilda Webb, a daughter of James P. Webb of Birmingham, Alabama, at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Forest Hills, his sister Ethel being maid of honour.88 In the Second World War he served in the Navy again, and in November 1945 he was a lieutenant commander, "executive officer of a navy construction battalion, just returned from Okinawa," a construction battalion being a Navy unit of builders and engineers and its executive officer the second in command.89 After the war he built houses on Long Island in partnership with Albert Wichard, among them Old Mill Village at Wantagh in 1950 and Old Chester Hills, at Greenlawn in Huntington, in 1954.90 The marriage to Hilda ended, and he married Katherine Carrier Kindred, a widow, in 1957 and Dorothea Odlum in 1973.91 He died in Queens on 15 July 1976, and the Find a Grave index, a compilation of the memorials on the Find a Grave website, places his burial at Maple Grove Cemetery, Kew Gardens, where his father lay.92

Webb Wade

Frank and Hilda Wade's son, William Albert Webb Wade, was born in Brooklyn on 25 February 1938; he carried his mother's maiden name and was known by it as Webb.93 A second son, William Henry Wade, born in Brooklyn on 6 December 1939, lived only a week.94 Webb's grandfather's obituary in 1945 names him among the survivors as "a grandson, Webb Wade."95 He grew up in Queens, was a senior at the University of Pennsylvania in 1960, and died at Orange Park, Clay County, Florida, on 24 March 2023.96 In his name the Wade line of New York met the Webb family of Birmingham.97
