By 1680 some of Edward Wade's family are no longer living in York County but instead have moved just a few miles south to James City County. The reason becomes obvious. Mary Hampton Duke had married Edward Wade sometime after November 1670. Sh
e had a large estate in James City that had been given to her by her father Thomas Hampton. This estate next to Henry Duke became the home place for some of the Wades for years.
