BA-J/REL Noadiah Wade-S.33873
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letters in which you request the record of Noadiah Wade, who served as captain in the New Jersey Troops, War of the Revolution and was placed on the pension rolls of Sussex County, New Jersey, in 1818.
The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, S.33873, based upon the military service of Noadiah Wade in that war.
The date and place of birth and the names of the parents of Noadiah Wade are not shown.
Noadiah Wade entered the service at Morristown, New Jersey, October 4, 1775, was commissioned 1 st lieutenant in Captain David Thompson's Company, Colonel William Wind's New Jersey Regiment; in September, 1776, was promoted captain, recruited his own company and served in Colonel Ephraim Martin's 4 th New Jersey Regiment until October 30, 1777, when he left the service on account of ill health. He was in the battles of Ash Swamp, Woodbridge, Short Hills, Brandywine, Germantown and Mud Island Fort (also known as Fort Mifflin). He was also in an engagement at Carman's Hill and stated that he was "at the taking of the Hessian Forts near Philadelphia on the River Schuylkill by the Americans". He stated also that he captured a vessel and cargo but gave no details of this event.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 8, 1818, at which time he was aged seventy-two years and resided in Hardiston Township, Sussex County, New Jersey.
The soldier married in November, 1804, Anna, sister of James Brasted. She was his second wife. The name of the first wife and the date of her death are not shown.
Could not find Carman's Hill in the capture of Hessian Forts - so guessed the latter.
I could not identify Capt. David Thompson as if it was so plainly written, used it.
I said sister of James Brasted as she might have been his half sister & not been born Brasted.

Noadiah Wade died January 17 or January 29(both dates are shown), 1829, and his widow, Anna, died in July, 1843 or July 15, 1844(both dates are given). Anna's age was not stated.
Soldier's son, Samuel, married, in May, 1804, Rachel, whose maiden name was not shown. Samuel was deceased in 1847, and in that year, his widow, Rachel, was aged sixty-three years and resided in Sussex County, New Jersey. Samuel's age was not given.
In 1847, Noadiah Wade, of Sussex County, New Jersey, born in September, 1805, stated that he and his sister, Eunice, the wife of Jonas Beardslie or Beardslee, were the children of Captain Noadiah Wade and his second wife, Anna, and that they were the only surviving children of the soldier. In 1852, son Noadiah was residing in Sparta, Sussex County, New Jersey, and stated that his parents resided in that town for a number of years. In 1852, the name, Sering Wade, appears: no relationship to the family was shown.
In 1847, James Brasted, brother of Anna Wade, the widow of Captain Noadiah Wade, was aged seventy years and resided in Sussex County, New Jersey.
There are no further family data.
Very truly yours

Dear Sir
I take the liberty to address you on the subject of my claim upon the United States, as an officer in the Army of the Revolution; Although my case does not exactly come under the Act of Congress, passed for the relief of the officers and soldiers, yet I conceive that I am equally entitled to the benefit of that act with others who did serve to the end of the war, as I was prevented from so doing by ill health. In the course of the time that I was in the service I captured a vessel and cargo, valued at one thousand pounds, which was used for the benefit of the army; I received no part of the prize money. I also paid out of my own funds about four hundred dollars, for the use of the army, of which I have never received a farthing. — These are facts which can be satisfactorily proved if necessary. It is therefore but just that I should be compensated for my services and money. I wish you Sir, to attend to this business for me and if you succeed, pay yourself for your trouble. Very respectfully your most obedt Servt Colo. Aaron Ogden Isaac Wade
