Notes:

He was born circa 1635 in Benningham, England, the son of Thomas George Harding Sr. and Agnes North. He married first to Eleanor Jane Bagwell on February 26, 1661 in London, England. They had at least one daughter, Mary, who married Henry Ballinger, as cited in Thomas' will of 1708. Thomas signed "The Concessions and Agreements of West Jersey in America" on March 3, 1677, which was written and signed before departing from England. Thomas and his family immigrated to America on the ship "The Kent", arriving in Newcastle in the Colony of West Jersey on August 16, 1677. Between 1680 and 1700, Thomas was listed in various land records having purchased and sold various parcels of land. After the death of Eleanor in 1692, Thomas married a second time on May 3, 1693 to Elizabeth Nichols in Burlington County, New Jersey. It is believed that Hope and Rebecca Harding, mentioned in Thomas' will as his daughters, were the children of Thomas and his second wife, Elizabeth. Elizabeth died on March 16, 1707 in Burlington County, New Jersey and was not mentioned in Thomas' will signed on February 8, 1708.

Notes:

Timeline of Joseph Ballinger's Life

1691: Joseph Ballenger was born in Burlington County, NJ.[24] There are several researchers who have reservations regarding Joseph's parentage. They'd like more proof that he was the son of Henry and Mary Harding Ballenger and ask the quite relevant question: Where was he between 1710 and 1729?

1694: Charity Wade was born in New Jersey.[25] Her parents are not known by this researcher, but many have speculated that her father was James Wade and that Charity may have been the sister of Robert Wade, who also moved to Goochland County, VA. There is no doubt, that the Wades were Quakers. (William S. Scroggins has an excellent web site with information on the Wades at wgscroggins.kueber.us.)

Although Joseph was born and raised among the Society of Friends, he eventually became a member of the Church of England, the only sanctioned church of the Virginia Colony. There is no record, however, of his having been disowned by the Quakers, perhaps because, like so many others, he simply drifted away after moving to the Virginia frontier. Although some have reported that he became a minister in the Anglican Church, performing many marriages, this would seem unlikely. An Anglican vicar needed a divinity degree obtainable only in England, the major cause of the perpetual shortage of vicars in the Colonies. Far from having a divinity degree, Joseph signed his will with his mark. It would therefore make more historical sense if he had become a Baptist minister or an Anglican layman.[26] In any case, he may have become confused with his son Joseph who did perform marriages.

1710: Joseph purchased 340 acres in Burlington County from his father Henry. It was Joseph's share of 1,200 acres that Henry Ballenger deeded to his sons Joseph, Josiah, and Henry.

c. 1720: Joseph married Charity Wade in Burlington County.[27] Or not? The record cited by Reeves shows no trace of Joseph or Charity. We therefore have no documented event that could fill in the lost years of 1710-1729.

A group of Quakers formed under Alexander Ross and Morgan Bryan in Pennsylvania for the purpose of settling in Maryland and Virginia. Brothers Joseph, Josiah, and Henry supposedly joined this group: "Associated with Ross were Joseph Ballinger and James Wright".[28] (James Wright was the father of Josiah's wife Mary Wright Ballenger and Henry's wife Hannah Wright Ballenger.)

22 Aug 1729: Joseph Barringer [doubtless Ballinger] purchased 128 acres on the main fork of Bird [Byrd] Creek on the north side of the James River in Goochland County, VA from Henry Reynolds for £15.[29] Robert Wade purchased land lying "near" Bird Creek on the same day.

19 Sep 1732: Joseph Barringer was named surveyor of the road 2 miles above the mouth of Bird Creek as far as Buck Island.[30] Bird Creek lies in the southwester corner of the county.

15 May 1733: Samuel Buck was appointed surveyor of the road from Joseph Barringer's to Buck Island.[31]

21 Jan 1734: Various tithables were ordered to work on the road on the south side of the North river above "Barrenger's Road".[32]

March 1735: The case of Joseph Barrenger against James Howlin was dismissed by the court in Goochland County.[33]

18 Nov 1735: The court fined John Henderson £10 for abusing "Charity Barrenger . . . by words, speaking scandalous of her, and striking her in the face". The complaint had been brought by husband Joseph Barrenger. The court also required Henderson to give a bond of £100 to insure his good behavior for 1 year and 1 day, "especially towards Charity".[34]

c. 1736: Joseph Barrenger served on jury hearing case of John Johnston versus John Scruggs for trespass in Goochland County.[35]

5 Oct 1736: Joseph Ballenger was mentioned as an adjoining landowner in a deed for William Mattock on the north side of the James River close to Little Byrd Creek.[36]

9 Jul 1737: Joseph Ballenger received a land patent for 200 acres on the south side of the Fluvanna River in Goochland. This land may have been called the "Seven Islands".[37] Reeves incorrectly claims that the tract was patented to Samuel Jordan in 1736 and only "formerly granted to Joseph Ballenger".[38]

18 Jul 1739: Joseph Barrenger's tithables were ordered to work on the road from the Bird Creek bridge to the Crooked Falls on the Rivanna River.[39]

15 Sep 1741: Joseph and Charity Ballenger sold 200 acres on the Rivanna River adjoining George Nicholas in St. James Parish to Thomas Walton for £30. This parcel was described as having been granted to Joseph on 9 Jul 1737. Witnesses: Robert Walton, William Witt, John Popham, and Julius Sanders. Signed by Joseph (x) and Charity (x) Ballenger.[40] The James River was called the Rivanna.

15 Sep 1741: John Henry was appointed to clear a bridle path from Mountain Road to "Barringer's on the Rivanna River".[41]

24 Feb 1742: Land sold by Richard Mullins to Bryan Connerly was described as adjoining Jospeh Ballenger on north side of James River.[42]

5 Jun 1744: Joseph signed his will with his mark.

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.
