Notes for Sophia Wade

---

Excerpt From: Letter, Homer Jones to Gordon Walker, Dated February 6th, 1956

Paragraph #2:
You recall, no doubt, that a William Chesnut gave a tract of land in 1772 to each of his two sons, John and William, John being "our John"
whose wife was Patience. William died 1783 leaving a widow Sophia.
I have learned, and have it documented, that Sophia was the daughter of John Wade and his wife Sophia Howard, of Maryland. Sophia Wade Chesnut was born 1755 in Maryland (too late even to be the mother of "our" William, much less his father John), and after William's death in 1783 she married 2nd James Burke, which was after 1791, as she was shown as head of a family in Bath Co., Va. That year, as Sophia Chesnut, "Widow".
