The following is from the biographical notebook of, a great granddaughter, Harriet Quick Little. She states that this information was handed down to her by her mother and grandmother.
"Richard was low, heavy set, of light complexion sandy hair, blue eyes, vigorous, never sick, died suddenly of apoplexy. He was educated in high school and became a physician, store keeper and a farmer. He was a democrat in politics.
Moved from Amherst county, Virginia before 1810, to Cumberland county, Kentucky, to Lafayette county, Missouri before 1832 and into Tebo township, to what is now, Henry county in 1833.
He was a slave owner, about 11 field hands, sold off after his death and house servants."
It is noted in the History books of Henry County, that he erected the first horse mill in the county in sec. 7, twp. 43, rg. 25. It is also stated that the oldest brick house in Henry county was built by Dr. Richard Wade.
The bricks were made there on site by slave labor. At his death the house was not yet complete. His wife, and administer of his estate, was ordered to finish the house and then sell the slaves on twelve months credit. They were sold at the Henry County Courthouse door 14 June 1844.
Dr. Wade was the father of 13 children; John Ballinger, Sallie Hansford, William P., Charles P., twins Nancy and Delila, George Washington, Martin A., Martha Jane, Minerva C., Edmond P, Pleasant D., and Fendell P..
