DNA MATCH-Stephen Wesley Kendall Family Tree/Ravens Tree-Ancestry.com ( Confidence Good) 4th Cousins, my 7th great grandfather.

Robert Sr. was deeded 250 acres in 1733, Goochland Co., VA; he served in the French and Indian Wars (1758), and was the Burgess from Halifax Co., VA, wife Elizabeth. He had a brother, George Wade. His Last Will and Testament dated 5/1/1767, proved 1770 Halifax Co., VA, names his wife, Elizabeth, sons (Robert, John, Stephen, Charles, Edward, and Hampton), daughters (Mary Hunt, Sarah Stokes) Anna, wife of deceased son, Robert, grandson Robert, son of Stephen.[1][2]

Note: the will of Robert Wade of Halifax, it specifies that his son Edward had no children at the time that the will was written. This eliminates him as the same Edward of Pittsylvania co, who lived on Panther creek and who was married prior to 1750. Edward, son of Robert Wade, married Lettice Martin in 1768.

Robert Wade 1700 – 1770 – French and Indian War Veteran-Journal of Capt. Robert Wade Company "Capt. Robert Wade march't from Mayo Fort with 35 men in order to take a range to the New River in search of our enemy Indians. We marcht about three miles that day to a Plantation where Peter Rentfro formerly lived and took up camp. Next morning we marcht along to a place called Gobling Town where we Eat our Brakefast, and so continued our march and took up our camp that night at the foot of the Blew Ledge" "Next Day we crossed the Blew Ledge and marched to Francis Eason's Plantation and continued there that night. Our hunters brought in a plentiful supply of venison. Next morning begin Tuesday the 15th we marcht down to Richard Ratcliff's plantation on Meadow Creek where we continued that night. Next morning sent out Spyes and hunters to Spy for enemy signs and to hunt for provisions" Echols told how they spent several days there, and then one day five Indians came very unexpectedly upon them. He said the Indians "stood in amaise and Reason they had, for I suppose there were twenty guns presented at them. They said they were Cherokees. I made sign to them to shew me their Pass But they had none. They had with them five head of horse and Skelps that appeared to be whitemen. Four of the horses appeared as tho' they had been recently taken, the other was very poor." There was a hunter with them named Abraham Dunkleberry who said the Indians were Cherokees, but that they evidently were rogues. The Captain was doubtful of what he should do, but finally allowed the Indians to depart, which greatly displeased the men who said there was no use in ranging if the enemy were to be allowed to go after catching them. So after the hunter Dunkleberry had packed up his skins and gone the Captain appointed twelve men to go after the Indians, and overtaking them in an Orchard they killed four and wounded the other. Then finding so many Indian signs about and their ammunition running low, the decided to return. On Tuesday the 22nd they ate dinner on Blackwater Creek and spent the night on Robert Jones' plantation at the head of Pigg River. The following day "myself and four more left the company and went across by Gobling Town and came to Mayo Fort that night. The Captain and the rest of the men tells us they came to Hickey's Fort that night and the next day to Mayo Fort. I remember no more worth making a Remark of, so courteous reader, I Rem Yrs. Etc. John Echols"

One ofthese, Wade Hampton (1751/1752-4 Feb 1835) attained distinction. He was born inHalifax Co, VA, probably descending from Thomas Hampton, a clergyman who was aresident of Jamestown, VA, in 1630. The descendants of Thomas lived in Virginia through three generations, multiplying their homesteads as the colony expanded. Anthony, of the fourth generation, second son of John (1690-ca 1748) and Margaret (Wade) Hampton, followed the frontier southward by stages and when the Revolution began was settled on the Middle Fork of Tyger River (now Spartanburg,SC, pursuing, according to tradition, the trade of 'flax-breaker'. Here, in July 1776, he and his wife, whose maiden name is not known, a son, and a grandsonwere killed by Cherokee Indians. Five sons escaped the massacre, however, and all served as officers in the American forces during the ensuing war. Of these,Wade, probably the third son, subsequently rose to the greatest distinction."
