Draper Manuscript
A Richard Wade is listed at Goochland in 1748
One document states that the Judith who married Richard Wade was the daughter
of George Hancock. I disagree for two logical reasons. The marriage is
documented in Goochland and Benjamin Hancock is the primary family there during
that time period. Second records of Richard state he went to KY to Boonesboro
no doubt with Judith's two brothers, William and Stephen.
