    • Charity Ballenger & Jeremiah Wade
      Jeremiah, born c. 1710, was probably the brother of Pearce Wade, who married Charity's sister Mary Ballenger. Their father may have been Robert Wade of Hanover County, VA, and Robert in turn may have been the brother of Charity Wade Ballenger, mother of both girls.
      c. 1723: Charity Ballenger was born in New Jersey.
      Jeremiah and Charity were already married before Joseph Ballenger made his will on 5 Jun 1744.
      21 May 1745: Jeremiah purchased 150 acres on Great Byrd Creek in Goochland County from John and Sarah Denny for £45. The parcel adjoined John Martin, John Hinson, Ebenezer Adams, deceased, and John Denny. The witnesses were Pearce Wade, James George, and Joseph Pare.[1]
      20 Dec 1748: Jeremiah and Charity Wade sold 150 acres on Byrd Creek to John Faris for £45. The adjoining landowners were Richard Adams, John Hinson, and Colonel John Martin. Witnesses: John Mosely Junior, William Robards, and Benjamin Denny.[2]
      26 Dec 1748: Jeremiah bought 197 acres on Old Johns Creek in Goochland from Charles and Tabitha Rayley for £70. It was bounded Stephen Hughes, Daniel Stoner, William Runnals, and John Rayley. Witnesses: Robert Hughes, Tucker Woodson, Robert Hughes Junior, and R. Walton.[3]
      24 Feb 1749: Along with Pearce Wade, Jeremiah Wade of "Cumberland County" was security on a bond of £400 for John Britt of Goochland County as executor for John Britt, deceased.[4] Cumberland County was formed from Goochland that year.
      11 Apr 1750: As co-executors of the estate of Joseph Ballenger, Jeremiah Wade of Cumberland County and Pearce Wade and Thomas Cothon [Cawthon] of Albemarle County sold 128 acres on Byrd Creek in Goochland County to John Britt for £60. The parcel was adjoined by John Haden, Bryan Connely, and Arthur Hopkins. The sale was witnessed by James George, William Britt, and John Faris.[5] John Britt was apparently already living on the acreage.
      12 Jul 1751: Jeremiah Wade, planter, purchased 180 acres on Thrasher's Creek in Albemarle County from Howard Cash, planter. Witnesses: David Wade, Michael Smith, and Chisley Daniel.[6]
      2 Apr 1752: Jeremiah sold land adjoining Pearce Wade to David Wade. Witnesses: Pearce Wade, James George, and Christly Daniel.[7]
      2 Jul 1752: Jeremiah sold the parcel bought from Charles Rayley to David Siser. The land was now in Cumberland County, while Jeremiah was described as being of Albemarle County. Witnesses: Tarleton Woodson Junior, Ben Watkins Junior, Stephen Tampton Junior, Drury Woodson, and Thomas Pleasants.[8]
      2 Jul 1763: Along with Pearce Wade and Richard and Joseph Ballenger, Jeremiah sold 800 acres, part of a grant of 2,000 acres, on the south side of the Buffalo River under the Tobacco Mountains in Amherst County, VA to George Seaton.[9] Originally granted to Richard and Joseph, 400 acres each had been granted by them to Jeremiah and Pearce.
      20 Aug 1768: Jeremiah sold 114 acres on the top of Smith's Mountain adjoining Joseph Ballenger and William Cabell to Joseph Ballinger for £10. On the same day, he sold 378 acres on the headwaters of Thrasher's and Franklin Creeks to John Parks. This second conveyance was witnessed by Matthew Tucker, Drury Tucker, and Joseph Ballenger.[10] Jeremiah was described as being of St. Ann's Parish.
      According to William Scroggins, Jeremiah sold three slaves to Hector McAllister, but the date wasn't available to him. He also reports that, along with Neil Campbell "and others", he sold 400 acres on Rockfish Creek to George Donald and Company.[11] Could the latter have been a trust deed? Neil Campbell's mistress, Tabitha Ballowe later married Joseph Ballenger.
      17 Feb 1772: Jeremiah Wade Senior sold 378 acres in the fork of the James River adjoining Matthew Tucker, Drury Tucker and Lacy Sine in Albemarle to Richard Bennett.[12]
      8 Jul 1772: Jeremiah made his will in Bedford County, VA, naming executors Richard Ballenger and James and Nathan Hilton. In it, he left his estate was to be equally divided among his children, but he made no mention of a wife, thus Charity must have predeceased him. Witnesses: Abraham Ervine, Jesse Hilton, and Elizabeth Mitchell. It was proved 28 Sep 1772, with Guy Smith serving as security for James Hilton. Executor Hilton made his inventory and appraisal on 10 Oct 1772.[13] Jesse Hilton had been surety for the marriage daughter Mary Ballenger Wade to Whitehead Ryan.
