Murfreesboro "Big House"

Isaac WADE, (b.c. 1815, TN) married Eliza WADE (b.c. 1818, TN), on November 25, 1866 in Rutherford County, Tennessee. The 1870 census shows the following children living with them (click here for their descendants):

Aaron WADE and Moses WADE, (twins), b. September, 1848

Alice WADE, b. 1854

Ellen WADE, b. 1855

I have not been able to find Isaac in the 1880 census. There is an Isaac Wade listed in the 1891 Tennessee Male Citizen's Census, but I'm not sure this is him.  He is not in the 1900 Federal census.

Moses WADE married Mary WILLIAMS April 13, 1877. They had two children:

Eliza WADE, b. September 1875, m. Azariah Ransom, 1901

I found Moses and his family in the 1880 and 1900 census. By the 1910 census he was a widower, living with his daughter Eliza and her husband. In 1920 he was living with Aaron's family.
