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.

Isaac Wade was a bondsman for the executors of the will of James Hilton which was proved on September 25, 1786.

Bedford County, Virginia, Will Book 1, Page 340
Isaac Wade signed the inventory and appraisement of the estate of Thomas Stevens, Jr., which was dated June 15th and presented to court on June 28, 1779, apparently because he had married the widow. His signature was in the place where an administrator or executor usually signed, but he was not designated as either. Neither was he one of the appraiser.

Bedford County, Virginia, Will Book 6, Page 1
The will of Isaac Wade was dated May 11, 1821 and proved on September 22, 1823 in Bedford County. In it he made bequests to his wife Polly Wade, to sons Jeremiah Wade, Archibald Wade, Isaac Wade, Jr., Alexander Wade and Paschal Wade, and to daughters Patsy Adams, Polly Gibbs, Nancy Stevens and Sally Ballenger. He also mentioned an open account between Jeremiah Wade, Archibald Wade, Alexander Wade, Gilbert Gibbs, Richard Ballenger, Henry Stevens and himself, without specifying his relationship with Gibbs, Ballenger and Stevens. His wife Polly Wade, Jeremiah Wade and Archibald Wade were appointed to be the executors.

Bedford County, Virginia, Deed Book 20, Pages 44 and 46, Abstracts

JACOB WADE, “LATE SOLDIER OF THE CONTINENTAL LINE”

Bedford Co., VA, Court Order Book 22, 1828-1829, p. 203, recorded information that Elizabeth Wade who died before 1877, “was the daughter and only heir of Jacob Wade late soldier of the Continental Line” in the American Revolution. Elizabeth was the wife of EPHRAIM BONDURANT (abt. 1790 - 1877) of Bedford Co., VA. Ephraim is believed to be one of the children of John Bondurant and Martha ? who moved from Buckingham Co. to Bedford Co., VA, about the time of the Revolution. This John may have been the baby son of John and Sarah R. Taylor Bondurant, who was baptized in King William Parish in 1737, Goochland Co., VA. The Bedford Co. document would qualify descendants of Elizabeth and Ephraim for membership in SAR or DAR, based on Jacob Wade’s service.

Notes:

From John William Baker, History of Hart County, 1933, 2nd ed. (1968), pp. 359-60:
To the best of our information, Providence Church was constituted about the year 1815, as we have a record to the effect that John B. Wade and his cousin James Wade, both of whom were local Methodist preachers, and Polly Wade, who was perhaps an aunt of John B. Wade, and Elizabeth (or Betty as she was called), sister to John B. Wade and wife of Tarvner Rucker and perhaps others, on Christmas eve 1815, erected a log house which was the first church building at Providence, and that Polly and Betty were so anxious that the house be built that they with their own hands carried up one corner of the house when it was raised.
Perhaps it would be as appropriate here as elsewhere to give some kind of a historical sketch of Rev. John B. Wade and his activities as a pioneer preacher in the early days of our country.
He was a son of Anne Wade, as it appears from the old records of Franklin County that during the year 1825 and perhaps before and after, she drew a pension as the widow of a Revolutionary soldier, in which connection John B. Wade and others are mentioned as her children.
Anne Wade and children, and perhaps others of the Wade connection, came from Virginia and settled in what was then Franklin, later Hart County.
Anne Wade is buried in the cemetery at Providence and her grave is marked by a splendid rock vault, which bears the following inscription: "Anne Wade, Died June 18, 1849, ae. 84 years." It is evident from this inscription that she was born about the year 1764.
John B. Wade lived in the community at the time Providence Church was organized and on up until aboult the year 1854, when he sold his land and bought other lands down in the neighborhood of Macedonia Church, which was consecrated in 1854, he being perhaps the moving spirit in the organization and constitution of the church at Macedonia. He and others were the trustees to whom the land on which the church was located was deeded by Job Bowers, 23 Aug. 1854.
Along about the 1840s or early 1850s, there was a Methodist church called New Hope, which stood about a mile south of where Reed Creek is located, at which John B. Wade at one time preached. He also preached at a number of places in the country and was perhaps the leader in the constitution of other churches besides those named. It was usual in the early days, when the country was but sparsely settled and churches were few and far apart, to hold religious services at central points, which were [360] called preaching centers or stations, and where there were houses in which services were held, they were called "Meeting Houses." At many of these centers, churches were later constituted.
John B. Wade was quite active as a pioneer preacher, did quite an amount of work along religious lines, and in consideration of his many labors for his Master it may truly be said of him as was once said of another pioneer preacher of our country, "Rude temples of worship in many places sprang into existence at the call of this good man, blooming like wild flowers along the woodland paths."
Rev. John B. Wade is buried at Providence. We do not have the date of his death.

Notes:

Name:
In a Virginia Chancery case 1896-1901, Fleming Saunders, age 66, testified to knowing William B Bondurant "from his earliest youth"; that William "lived where he was born". Mr Saunders also stated that William's father worked as a manager for his grandmother (Alice Watts). This refers to Ephraim, who worked as an overseer for Judge Fleming Saunders family since about 1814. Ephraim and his wife Elizabeth witnessed the will of Mary Watts, Fleming Saunders' aunt in 1836. Ephraim's and William's occupations were listed as Overseer in the 1850 census, as well as living adjacent to the above Fleming Saunders.

After William died in 1896, his 2nd wife Hester, as administratrix, presented claims against William's estate on behalf of her 2 children from a prior marriage. She did this without the knowledge of the other heirs, William's children. Following is the link for the related case:
