Abt 1600 -
Generation: 1
1. | Robert Wade was born about 1600 in England. Other Events:
Notes:
From The "Descendants of John Owen of Windsor Connecticut" dated 1941 we have John Owen Married Rebecca Wade of nearby Hartford, the daughter of Robert and Jemima Wade.
The name Robert Wade appears on the Hartford Settlers Monument as one of the 127 original settlers of Hartford in 1639.
From "Annals of Dorchester" we have a land record concerning Robert Wade dated 4 Jan 1635. (?? Robert Charles Anderson of Great Migrations Books shows no entry for Robert Wade before 1639.)
In the "Memorial History of Hartford County, Connecticut" the following appears "Robert Wade, Dorchester, 1635, removed soon to Hartford, where he was one of those who received land"
The name of Robert Wade appears in Hartford land records in Feb 1639.
In Aug 1657 Robert Wade was divorced from his wife, Jane or Joan, by the General Court at Hartford on the grounds of her refusal for 15 years to leave England and join him in the colony. (15 years goes back to 1642, which does not align well with the other dates of 1635 and 1639 as being in the colonies. Or perhaps his wife was here and then returned to England in 1642. Other than starting with the same letter the wife's name also does not match up well.)
Probate records dated June 1682 of Robert Wade mentions 3 daughters, but none named Rebecca!!!
To summarize we have a Robert Wade from England in Dorchester by 1635 and one of the founders of Hartford in 1639. Of much else we cannot be certain.

2. | Rebecca Wade (1.Robert1) was born in 1624; died on 3 Dec 1711 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut, USA. Other Events:
- Reference Number: 3689
- Birth: 1629, Connecticut, USA
Notes:
Some ancestry.com data records have Rebecca born 1624 in Hartford. That is too early. The earliest record of her father, Robert Wade, in the new world was 1639. The first settlement at Hartford was 1635. I suspect she was born in the 'old world'.
Robert Wade: he is claimed as father of Rebecca in Ralph Dornfield Owen's Descendants of John Owen of Windsor, Connecticut (1622-1690) (Philadelphia 1941), p. 19, but without documentation. Since John Owen and wife apparently did not share in the settlement of Robert Wade's estate, as Mr. Jacobus points out, it would be well to be cautious. The probate file mentions 3 daughters, none named Rebecca.
Rebecca married John Owen on 3 Oct 1650 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut, USA. John was born between 1622 and 1624 in Wales; died on 18 Feb 1698/99 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut, USA; was buried in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
