WADE - STANNARD
Andrew C. White Mon Jan 6 12:57:55 2003
Libeus STANNARD settled in the town of Fenner in Madison Co., New York. He was a Revolutionary War veteran.
Of his several children, his daughter Abigail is said to have married John Bonaparte WADE, Jan. 10, 1825, in Madison Co.
I have information on Libeus and Abigail is mentioned as his daughter but no other information on her or on John WADE. Supposedly they were both born in Rupert, Bennington Co., Vt. but I have been unable to locate any details on either Abigail or John.
Does anyone know anything about these folks that might point me in the right direction?
