John Wade (c. 1846–1925) was recorded in the 1860 census in the George Bushman household in Cumberland Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania. The census listed him as a 15-year-old Pennsylvania native, appearing on line 38 in dwelling 470, family 525. Later memorial evidence probably identifies him as James John “Jack” Wade Jr., with the 1860 record placing him in the Bushman household. The same evidence also notes documented Civil War veteran status.
