Wade

  As early as 1536 Armigil Wade of a Yorkshire family, was called "the British
Columbus," because he was the first British explorer of the American Indies. In
1589 Thomas Wade was one of the Company of London merchants to whom Sir Walter
Raleigh transferred the colony of Virginia.

  In 1656 Daniel Wade of Surry county petitioned Lieut. -Governor Nicholson to
remit a fine of 1O,OOO lbs. of tobacco imposed upon him for re-planting tobacco
after the first of July, a restriction made to prevent over-production that
would lower the price of the product upon which the farmer depended for his
revenue.

  The first meeting of justices appointed for Halifax county occurred in April,
1752, at the house of Hampton Wade; and in this county are found the wills of
Andrew Wade in 1766 and of Edward Wade in 1776.

  Zackfield Wade gave bond to the governor 28 times, starting from 1811, as
inspector of tobacco at Friend's Warehouse in Lynchburg; in 1843 he deeded a
piece of property to his son, Zackfield, Jr., provided in his will for his
children, and the children of his deceased sons, Henry and Zackfield, Jr. His
son, Luke, was appointed executor. His property was on Pigeon creek, which runs
through the Presbyterian Orphanage farm into James river at the old iron mines
near Reusen's, near which his home stood, and at the back of the house was the
family burying-ground; he requested that this reservation be enclosed and
preserved.

  The name Zackfield may have resulted from the mis-spelling of Sackville, as
occurred in the records of Sackville King, witness to a Wade deed.
