From Men of Mark in Georgia, Volume V Page 124: Peyton L. Wade, of Screven county, Georgia, [was] a man of profound scholarship, broad culture and great wealth, being the proprietor of an extensive landed estate and owning more than five hundred slaves at the outbrak of the War between the States. In his younger days, he was a member of the Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and continued a zealous adherent of that faith until his death, at an advanced age, in 1866. The Rev. Peyton L. Wade was twice married. By his first wife there were no children. The second wife, who was Elizabeth Robert, ... was a lineal descendant of Pierre Robert, one of the French Huguenot early settlers of South Carolina, from whom many of the prominent families of that State are descended.
From Page 211 of The History of Methodism in Georgia and Florida: From 1785 to 1865 by George Gilman Smith Jr. (Jno. W. Burke & Co., Macon, Georgia 1877): Peyton L. Wade ... travelled only a few years, and then married a very wealthy and a very excellent widow lady, and located. He was a fine business man, and his wealth greatly increased, so that at the time of his death, which did not take place for over forty years from this time, he was the wealthiest Methodist preacher in Georgia. He was a warm-hearted man to the last, and many a travelling preacher found in him a sympathizing friend.
