Life

James Duncan Wade was born in New York City on 15 March 1838, the eldest known son of James M. Wade and his wife Eliza Ann.1 His obituaries say he was born in "the old city of New York", that is Manhattan, and was educated in the public schools.2 By 1850 the family had moved across the East River to Williamsburg, Kings County, where his father was a builder and real estate broker; the federal census of 1850 and the state censuses of 1855 and 1865 list James in his father's household.3 Before the war he worked for a Dr. Barker, and in February 1864 he wrote home of "the Mental suffering I endured from the mere fact of knowing I was poor" for six long weary years, and how he had "endured insult from Dr Barker because I was too poor to resent it or offend him," Barker knowing that he depended on him and taking advantage of it.4 In the same letter he explained why he had had so few friends among the young people of "the Burgh," as Williamsburgh was called: "At home I was to proud, or at least Mother was, with all due respect to her, to let me associate with the poor and common class, and too poor to mingle with that class of people which through taste and from habit we belonged."5 He also began the study of medicine at New York University.2

Fort McHenry, 1862

His obituaries say that he left the university at the outbreak of the Civil War to enlist in the Forty-seventh Regiment for three months, as a sergeant under Colonel Jeremiah V. Meserole.6 He served with his younger brother William, and their letters home, kept by the family, begin in the summer of 1862 at Fort McHenry, Baltimore; the letters can be read, with images of every page, at brothersatthefront.com.7 On 8 August 1862 he wrote that the paymaster had come, that "each private recived $15.16" and "The Sargeants each received $19.80," and that he and Willie were sending $25 home for their parents to draw at the Kings County Savings Bank.8 Two days later he told his father where to take the letter, to the "Savings Bank corner of South 7 St and 4th St," and reckoned that at the muster-out he himself would receive about $40 and Willie $30.9 Inference The difference matches a sergeant's pay against a private's, which agrees with the obituaries' rank for him.9 In the same letter he wrote that he had "acted as Color Sargeant the other evening at Dress parad," carrying the regiment's flag at the formal evening parade, that "the Fort is crowded with prisoners," and that the regiment expected to be home and mustered out in about three weeks.10 The Brooklyn Citizen says the three months were spent in Washington, but the only letters from that service were written from Fort McHenry.11

The 176th New York and Brashear City

He enlisted again in 1862, in a regiment the obituaries disagree on: the Eagle and the Times Union give the 172nd New York Volunteers, the Citizen the 176th, "known as 'Old Ironsides'".12 His own letters settle the question, for on 15 October 1863 he wrote, "I still belong to the 176 N Y V," and the order that discharged him later that year names him as a private of the 176th New York Volunteers.13 As a private he was paid $13 a month.14 The regiment went to Louisiana, where in June 1863 he was a member of the provost guard, the soldiers who kept order and guarded prisoners, at Brashear City.15

At about three in the morning of 23 June 1863 Confederate artillery and infantry attacked Brashear City and, as he wrote on 6 July from Algiers, across the river from New Orleans, "in a half an hour we were all prisoners."16 He called the attack a complete surprise, in which the provost guard "made a good fight" and five of its twelve men were shot, while he "was not even scratched."16 The prisoners had to march "through roads cut through the swamp to New Orleans something over 100 miles," and were released on parole, a promise not to fight again until formally exchanged for Confederate prisoners; on 19 October he sent his parole home to his mother, since it was of no use to him and "may be a curiosity to you," for "we have all been exchanged since then."17

The Corps d'Afrique

In September 1863 he set out to win a commission in one of the new regiments of Black soldiers being raised in Louisiana, the Corps d'Afrique, writing that "50 men constitutes a Co" of Black soldiers, that he and two others stood a fair chance of raising one, and that he hoped an officer's pay would see him "through college if possible as well as support the family."18 He had just come back, he wrote on 1 September, from "a recruiting expedition up the country where 2 months ago I was a miserable prisoner."19 At Terre Bonne Station he had gone into the first plantation, demanded a horse and saddle, and begun enlisting the enslaved men who worked there; the planter protested at losing men for whom he had paid from 700 to 1,000 dollars apiece, "but I had my papers from the Genl."19 "It would have done you good to have seen me bully the Planters," he told his mother.19 He had taken furnished rooms at 170 Carondelet Street, New Orleans, and asked that his letters be directed to "Lieut J D Wade," the envelopes as neatly as possible, "as there is a great deal in outside show here."20 He asked, too, "how much money there is to my account in the Bank," adding, "I suppose of course you have used considerable for the support of the family."21 In the same letter he passed on news from a cousin, Louisa, whose brother had died at Vicksburg "on the afternoon of the 4 of July," the day Vicksburg fell, and wrote that he was drilling a company of Black soldiers who would avenge that death if they had a fair chance.22

He did not commit himself at once.23 On 15 October he wrote that he still belonged to the 176th, and that "A commission in this department would be no inducement for me to stay, providing I could go home with an honorable discharge"; he had received $25 from his father, and had ordered a sword and then countermanded the order on hearing that the men were all going home.23 Four days later he had decided: "I have concluded to stay, I am tired of the suspence."24 On 19 October he passed the examining board after three hours of questions on drill, picket duty and arithmetic, the board also getting him "to write an application for a leave of Absense to see if I knew how," and "my Commission has been made out and sent to Genl N. P. Banks for approvial."25 "I was thankfull that I had a good education It was a great help to me, I was cool and composed all through while some of the candidates where quite excited," he wrote, and "the Committee were pleased to say that I passed an unusual good examination."25 He signed that letter as lieutenant of the 16th Regiment, Corps d'Afrique, and in it told his mother that in New Orleans "I am a teacher in the Baptist Sunday School I am a big Gun It is called Collisium Baptist Church."26 At home, too, he had taught in a Sunday school: in December 1863 his mother wrote that a Mr. Coombs had read James's letter to the school, and his brother that Coombs "spoke about you as a teacher."27 Special Orders No. 273 of the Department of the Gulf, issued at Brownsville, Texas, on 13 November 1863, discharged Private James D. Wade of the 176th New York Volunteers with effect from 24 October 1863, "to enable them to accept promotion."28

The mouth of the Rio Grande

From November 1863 he served in Texas with the 16th Regiment, Corps d'Afrique, in the Second Division of the Thirteenth Army Corps, signing himself first lieutenant commanding Company F, first at Point Isabel near the mouth of the Rio Grande and then at Clarksville, Boca del Rio and Boca Chica.29 At Point Isabel, he wrote on 20 November, "instead of finding a pleasant place with plenty of Beef and Chickens and water we found nothing but sandy steril soil," and his long hair and the dust had changed him, for "my face is bronzed."30 The company had no captain, and since "my Sergt can neither read or write" he did its paperwork himself; "Since I have had charge of the Co I have become quite a business man," he wrote in April 1864.31 He taught his men to read with books supplied by the Christian Commission: "My men are learning to read fast," he wrote in January 1864, and in February, "I have commenced with my Non Commissioned Officers 9 of them."32

A first lieutenant commanding a company was paid about $120 a month, and in January 1864 he wrote, "I find soldiering quite endurable in fact quite pleasant when I think every time I go to bed I have earned four dollars."33 He sent $200 home that month for his father to put "in the Bank to my account," asked his parents to take $20 a month from it for the family, and explained what he was saving for: "I want to have money enough to carry me through two complete courses of Medical Lectures and board and clothe me in the mean time."34 He had mustered as first lieutenant for three years, he told them in February, "but you need not be uneasy I do not intend to stay any three years."35 "I dearly love my home it is in my thoughts by day. and in my dreams by night," he wrote in the same letter, and in April he imagined the day when he would "walk up the Isle to our pew with Mother's arm in mine — with my new uniform on."36 That spring he became a member of a missionary society, whose secretary, Geo. E. Waterbury, sent him official notice of it.37

In April 1864, he wrote, he and two other officers were offered $4,000 by the Confederate owners of eighty bales of contraband cotton from a wrecked schooner to withdraw their guard and let the cotton be carried off; he called it "a strong temptation," but there was no use in it, since they would all have been cashiered, that is dismissed from the army, and they refused, and the next day a government agent took charge of the cotton and had it hauled to Brownsville.38 By May 1864 the regiment had become the 87th United States Infantry (Colored), and on 24 May he applied to General Banks for the captaincy of Company F, which, he wrote, had had no captain "since the organization of the Regt having the Command of the Company myself."39 The endorsements on the back of the application show it forwarded with approval by the regiment's lieutenant colonel, by the commander at Brazos Santiago and by Major General F. J. Herron, and returned from the headquarters of the Department of the Gulf on 7 June 1864: "no commissions will be issued from these Head Quarters for the present."39 By June he weighed 155 pounds ("am getting decidedly heavy," he wrote), and he sent another $200 home by Adams Express.40

In September 1864 the regiment, still at Boca Chica, was dying of scurvy: "we lose about twelve (12) a week," he wrote.41 He kept well himself, thanks, he said, to "friends I have got among the Natives Reb Ladys at that who have kept me supplied with vegatables."41 He did not write home about the war in the manner of the newspapers: "You may wonder why I dont indulge in more talk (or writing) about the war, Patriots exterminating the Rebs and all that sort of thing the fact of it is. it is not my style."42 The government then owed him four months' pay, and if the extra officers were mustered out when the regiments were consolidated, "I think I shall be an extra, as I would like to get out this fall."43 After the 87th was consolidated with the 81st, a receipt of 25 October 1864 certified that Lieutenant J. D. Wade, of the 81st United States Colored Infantry and formerly of the 87th, had turned over all the ordnance and other government property in his charge and had been on duty up to that day.44

His obituaries tell parts of this differently, and the differences matter.45 They make him a captain of Company F of the 87th for eighteen months; the Citizen and the Eagle say he was taken prisoner while serving in that capacity and escaped with others, and the Citizen adds that he and his companions "traveled 160 miles through swamps to reach New Orleans."45 His letters, written at the time, show that he was captured in June 1863 as a private of the 176th, before he held any commission, and that he was paroled and marched to New Orleans rather than escaping.46 No commission as captain is among the papers, and the last of them, in October 1864, still call him lieutenant, although his brother wrote in December 1863 that "Your name was put on the Mustering Role as being permoted to a (Captain)."47 His application for the captaincy was refused at department headquarters in June 1864.39 Inference The contemporary letters and orders are to be preferred; the obituaries, written thirty-eight years later, probably merge his capture at Brashear City with his later command and give him the captaincy he applied for but was not granted.46

Physician of the Eastern District

He came north after October 1864 and resumed the study of medicine, as he had planned, graduating, the Citizen says, in 1866.48 On 21 October 1869 he married Harriet N. Ricker, who was born in Massachusetts in 1834; their only child, Henry Albert Wade, was born in 1873, and the state census of 1875 and the federal census of 1880 found the family in Brooklyn.49 Nearly all his working life after the war was spent in the Eastern District of Brooklyn, the former City of Williamsburgh; he was for a time on the visiting staff of the Eastern District Hospital, and his son, Dr. Henry A. Wade, later practised with him.50 He was a member of the Kings County Medical Society and the Hanover Club, of Fraternity Council No. 504 of the Royal Arcanum and Senate Lodge No. 2,132 of the Knights of Honor, the last two being fraternal societies that provided insurance for their members.51 In December 1890 he was elected surgeon of Henry Lee Post No. 21 of the Grand Army of the Republic, the association of Union veterans.52 In late August 1895 the Eagle listed "Dr. James D. Wade" of Brooklyn among the guests at the Ithanell, Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey, and in October 1900 "Dr. and Mrs. James D. Wade" were at the wedding of his nephew Harry E. Wade.53

Death

For some years he lived at 252 South Ninth Street, at the corner of Marcy Avenue.54 On Sunday 19 October 1902, though he had not been well all day, he answered an urgent call to the home of a patient, Charles Eaton, at 736 Wythe Avenue; while writing a prescription in an upper room he "gasped and fell to the floor," and he was dead before his son and Dr. Lewis N. Anderson could reach him.55 The cause was given as heart failure.55 The New York Times said the patient was a sick child, and the Eagle that the death that afternoon of his lifelong friend Dr. Thomas Gates Underwood "undoubtedly aggravated the heart affection of which he had been a sufferer for some time."56 The funeral was held at his house on the evening of Tuesday 21 October, with the Royal Arcanum, the Knights of Honor and his Grand Army post invited, and the tree gives his burial as 22 October 1902, without a place.57 He was survived, the Eagle wrote, by "his aged mother, his wife and one son."58 His estate was handled in the Surrogate's Court of Kings County, the court that deals with the property of the dead, and appears in its estate files for 1902.59 A week after his death the Grand Army column of the Brooklyn Times Union called him "a man of splendid military record."60

Open questions

Which regiments? (answered 2026-11-09 from the letters' originals)

The letters settle it: the 47th New York State Militia at Fort McHenry in 1862 (Willie's pass: "Co. F 47th N.Y.S.M."), then the 176th New York Volunteers ("I still belong to the 176 N Y V.", 15 Oct 1863; Special Orders No. 273: "Private James D Wade. Company B 176 New York Vols"), then first lieutenant commanding Company F, 16th Corps d'Afrique, later the 87th and 81st U.S. Colored Infantry. He applied for the captaincy and was refused on 7 June 1864. Still worth having: the compiled service records and any pension file (NARA/Fold3), for dates of muster.

Medical education

New York University, graduating 1866 (Citizen). Check NYU medical alumni lists. The letters show the plan: on 18 January 1864 he was saving for "two complete courses of Medical Lectures and board and clothe me in the mean time". Check matriculation lists of the New York and Brooklyn medical colleges, 1864–1866 (NYU, the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Long Island College Hospital).

Dr Barker of Williamsburgh

James worked six years for a Dr Barker before the war ("endured insult from Dr Barker", 21 Feb 1864), and in 1864 John was with "the Dr" too, leaving by June 1864. Who was he? Brooklyn directories 1855–1864 (physicians named Barker in the Eastern District); this bears on both brothers' early working lives and perhaps on how they came to medicine.

Cousin Louisa's brother, died at Vicksburg, 4 July 1863

On 1 September 1863 James had a letter from "Coz Louisa", whose brother "died at Vicksburg on the afternoon of the 4 of July". A first cousin, so a child of a brother or sister of James M. Wade or of Eliza Ann (see her log: her maiden family is open). Search Union deaths at Vicksburg on or about 4 July 1863 (Roll of Honor, regimental rosters, New York and other state muster rolls) for a man with a sister Louisa.

Churches

In New Orleans he taught in the Sunday school of the "Collisium Baptist Church" (19 Oct 1863; probably the Coliseum Place Baptist Church); at home he had taught in a Sunday school whose head was a Mr Coombs (27 Dec 1863), and in 1864 the family's congregation was "about building a house of Worship" (13 Apr 1864). Coliseum Place Baptist Church records 1863–1864; identify Mr Coombs and the Williamsburgh church. He also joined a missionary society whose secretary was Geo. E. Waterbury (13 Apr 1864).

Service records

His recruiting authority ("my papers from the Genl", Aug–Sep 1863), his commission in the 16th Corps d'Afrique (mustered as first lieutenant for three years), the application of 24 May 1864 (docket "W (DG) 394 1864"; Department of the Gulf letters received, NARA RG 393), an unexplained "escape ... from the Cavalry" in summer 1864, and his leaving the service about 25 October 1864: the compiled service records (176th N.Y.; 87th and 81st U.S.C.I.) and any pension file.
