1 Benjamin SHEPHERD b abt 1797 in GA, m. abt 1836 in GA, d. before 1880 in MS
    - Robert Henley Courts WADE b abt 1770 in Port Tabacco, Charles Co., MD
  +Dicey WADE b abt 1813 in GA, d between 1859-1870 in Newton, MS? (1850 Census shows race to be a D? or B? looks like a
     D as in Dutch for Black Dutch. Even if it was a B, B also stood for any other color and not just Black. This could indicate Native
     American Indian or Black Dutch would be Cherokee so I have been told. I assume at this point, until I see the 1860 Census, that all the
     children were Vicey's. There are also indications that some WADEs were Choctaw Indian.)
