Author: H. W. Beckwith (1881)

   James A. Wade, farmer, Hillsboro, second child of Benjamin and Nancy (Rivers)
Wade, was born in Marion county, Kentucky, June 21, 1825. The family arrived
here in September 1828, and improved a farm on the N.W. 1/4 Sec. 32, T. 20, R.
6. His father died in 1838, and his mother married Edward J. McBroom, and died
in January 1842. Mr. Wade was married April 20, 1845, to Nancy Ann McBroom, who
was born December 25, 1826. They have seven children living and three dead, as
follows: Beninah, born July 31, 1846, wife of Dickison Riley; Nancy Jane, March
27, 1849, died September 7, 1852; William Truman, March 28, 1851, died May 18,
1851; Benjamin F., April 5, 1852, married Rhoda Cecil; Henry W., June 18, 1854,
married Martha Murray; James B., August 9, 1857, married Emma E. Cecil; John M.,
May 22, 1860, died May 25, 1860; Harriet Elizabeth, August 15, 1861, wife of
John S. Stockdale; Mary E., November 16, 1865; and Charles Carroll, August 2,
1867. Unlike the majority of men, Mr. Wade has always had a disinclination to
office-holding, for, though he has been offered township offices, and urged to
accept them, he has uniformly refused. He and his wife have held communion in
the Disciple church forty years. He has traveled with the Masonic fraternity at
Pleasant Hill the last twelve years. His farm of 214 acres is beautifully
located on the south side of Richland township, within easy drive of Hillsboro,
and is one of the best in this region of country. He is steadfastly anchored to
democratic principles.
