That's a very good question. Rachel Wade, sister of Joseph, marriedJohn
MOUNCE. I assume this would have been John Mounce JR. John & RachelMounce
took up residence in Wayne County. I also note that Dawson Wade wasin
Wayne in 1810 and received a 200 acre grant. I think this must havebeen
Dawson JR, as Dawson SR died in Montgomery Co KY. I also note thatboth
Dawson WADE (SR & JR) and Richard WADE SR were in Madison Countybefore 1800
This may mean that the Mounce family was also there, but I have not
checked into it.
Richard WADE SR was married to Judith HANCOCK, and they also came toWayne
County. I have not made a connection, but believe Judith was relatedto
Benjamin Hancock, who came to Wayne from Guilford Co, NC, and to JohnD.
Hancock, whose son Major Hancock came to Wayne from Patrick Co VA.
All this also ties into my husband's ancestor Samuel Clark b. 1775,who also
now appears to have come to Wayne County from Madison County. He is
enumerated on the Madison County tax list with his father Thomas Clarkin
1796 In Wayne County in 1829 Samuel Clark married Hannah James, thewidow
of Elisha WADE, whom she had married in Madison County in 1792.Elisha WADE
was born 1773 to Richard WADE SR and Judith HANCOCK in Goochland CoVA.
I don't know about Dawson WADE SR or John MOUNCE SR, but I do knowthat
Richard WADE SR and Judith HANCOCK's brothers were stationed at Ft.Boone in
Madison County. It may be that John Mounce SR had a brother whofought and
died during the war or as a result of an Indian raid. Joseph Wade wasnot
old enough to have fought in the Revolutionary War, but he appears tobe of
the generation of those who were children of Revolutionary War vets.That
would place Peggy (and, yes, Peggy is a nickname for Margaret) Mouncein the
same generation with Dawson JR, John Mounce JR and Rachel Wade.Assuming
she was 17 when she was married in 1793, that would give an est. dobof 1776
She needed the consent of her parent/guardian to marry, which meansshe
was not yet 21 yrs of age. I don't know how old Joseph was, but I doknow
that his sister Rachel Wade Mounce had a daughter born in 1792, givingan
est. year of birth of 1772. Joseph & Peggy could have been bornanywhere in
that time frame.

As an addendum to the below message, June Bork informs me that shebelieves
the age of majority for brides was 18; for grooms, 21. That being thecase,
Peggy Mounce would have been no older than 17 when she married JosephWade
in 1793.
