THE CIVIL WAR

One hundred and fifty years ago the military bombardment of Fort Sumpter marked the beginning of a bloody and costly four year Civil War in which an estimated one million Americans died. It did not take long for the fever to reach Rogers Creek as volunteers for both sides lined up to join. It is difficult to comprehend how men rushed into battle to sometimes face their brothers, cousins and former neighbors. Each side proclaimed and evidently believed “God was on their side.”

The country was not being invaded by a foreign force. Nor was there some imminent and diabolical threat from within, but rather a desire for excitement and adventure that evidently drove many to enlist, never dreaming of the hell and suffering they would endure.

The primary landowners in Rogers Creek at the beginning of the war were the Spradling, Thomas and Hart families. Richard Spradling owned the northern end of the valley, Jonathan Thomas the central part and John Hart II the lower end. All combined, these three men owned approximately thirty five hundred acres with smaller farms sprinkled around and between. And each had a number of slaves to tend their crops and look after their cattle.

Just to the north of the Spradling place lived the families of the four Wade brothers whose lives would be affected probably more than any other in the valley. Their mother was Louisa Spradling, daughter of Richard Spradling Sr., who had remarried following the death of their father in 1842.

The young, the elderly and the womenfolk remained behind to tend the crops and the livestock, but frequently the food they grew was taken by the two opposing sides as they pushed back and forth across the valley. A valley scarred by human tragedy beyond what those of us living here today could imagine. This was Rogers Creek during the Civil War. These were our ancestors.

BUDDY

A few months after the fire destroyed Geraldine’s house on the hill above us I began noticing a small white and tan short haired dog poking around the debris. The dog was very scared and would run if anyone approached. I did eventually get close enough to see the dog was wearing a body harness, which was unusual for a dog in the country.

I knew the dog did not belong to Geraldine as she had been in the nursing home at Etowah for several years. It is still a mystery how a small dog in a body harness showed up in our community. And even more of a mystery how it was surviving at a place where no one lived. We eventually surmised the dog was slipping down to Alan’s place and eating whatever food might be left in the bowls where his dogs were fed.

As the dog grew it began to limp and it became evident it was outgrowing the body harness and the straps were cutting into its legs. I think the dog knew it needed help because Alan and Jo would occasionally see it standing and watching them from a distance. Alan then began to coax it nearer with food and was eventually able to pat the dog on its head.

Next was the removal of the body harness and after a few weeks the places under his legs healed and Alan and Jo’s family increased by one dog. There was only one name that was appropriate for the dog and that was “Buddy”.

Buddy has some unusual characteristics for a dog. It has been proven that animals can detect things that humans cannot and can sense situations that are not apparent to people. For example Buddy will sit in Alan’s yard for long periods in the afternoon and look toward Marshal’s old log barn. It is as if he is mesmerized by what he senses because he will not respond when called. And when the full moon rises over the barn he barks, and he barks, and he barks.

Could it be the aura of what happened in the old barn June 30, 1892, still hangs over the place? If only Buddy could talk.

JUST O'ER THE HILL

By Fred Silas Wade (1898-1976)

The road of life is short indeed, that road we’re treading on,
For by and by with rapid speed, the joys will soon be gone.
We travel onward day by day, amid the worldly cares,
But soon will end our work and play, when death upon us stares.

How happy now we seem to be, as on through life we go,
But by and by some day we’ll see, and face the dreaded foe.
But is this foe so great indeed, that we should fear him so?
For all this fear we have no need, If we our savior know.

If we are ready for the day, to meet our journey’s end,
A child of God we then may say, You’re welcome, death, my friend.
We need not fear this dreaded foe, if we are free from sin,
For then to heaven we shall go, with friends to enter in.

To view just now a Christian’s death, lets cross just o’er the hill,
And there we see just out of breath, a maiden pale and still.
All still and silent by her side, there sits the mother dear,
To save her child in vain she tried, but now the end is near.

The father stands by her bed, he sees the end is near,
The thought of daughter with the dead, brings trickling forth a tear.
The children stand there looking on, the tears are flowing fast,
They think of days now past and gone, how sister’s played her last.

But one, a lad about sixteen, is not about the place,
Ashamed, this lad avoids the scene, ashamed to show his face.
His conscience now begins to pain, and burn his blackened heart,
He knows his sister he has slain, but whiskey played its part.

A while before he went to run, about with drunken men,
And came back drunk into the home, then came this dreadful sin.
A curse, a blow, by drunken hands, the cruel deed was done,
The lad above the sister stands, his trouble now begun.

His conscience pained, he fled away, beyond the horrid scene,
This lad, this drunkard, now we say, this sinful boy so mean.
They took the sister to her bed, and laid her quietly down,
To soon be numbered with the dead, and then to gain her crown.

While all are gathered round her bed, in sorrow grief and pain,
To weep for daughter with the dead, to mourn for sister slain.
A smile creeps forth upon her face, her eyes she opens now,
And loved ones see about the place, beneath her burning brow.

Oh Mother come and take my hand and hear me now I pray,
And Father here beside me stand, for I must go away.
I see the angels coming now, to carry me back home,
Not once again to sin I’ll bow, but once again I’ll roam.

I’ll live with Jesus and the blest, in peace forever more,
And there in heaven I shall rest, beyond the Golden shore.
No more I’ll play about the place, in joy as days gone by,
No more you’ll see my smiling face, however you may try.

Though you will miss me when I’ve gone, and left you all alone,
Don’t weep for me for I’ll be known, beside my savior’s throne.
I thank you now my mother dear, for what you’ve done for me,
A Christian now, I have no fear, to meet my death, you see.

And tell my brother when I’m gone, I died with love for him,
Though to my death by him I’m thrown, his way was dark and dim.
Though brother took my life from me, he killed his trusted friend,
Though far apart we soon shall be, I’ve loved him to the end.

Now tell him won’t you mother dear, I’ll look for him up there,
An bid him change his way just here, and meet his sister fair.
And father dear come near I pray, don’t grieve when I am gone,
Don’t grieve when I have gone away and left you all alone.

But I must leave you now I see, the angels at the door,
They’re coming here now after me, to bear me safely o’er.
A peaceful smile crept o’er her brow, as home she goes to dwell,
And with her gentle graceful hand, she waves her last farewell.


Note: Most of Fred Wade’s writings were prompted by some happening or event in the valley. If there was anyone still living who would know, they could probably tell us what caused him to write the above. If you noticed he refers to the happening as being “just o’er the hill”.

WADE FAMILY HISTORY

Our ancestor James Wade married Louisa Spradling October 26, 1827, in Albermarle County, Virginia. The following year James and Louisa migrated to Tennessee with the Louisa’s parents and settled in northwest McMinn County, just south of Tranquility in community that would later become known as Chuck-A-Luck.

Five children would be born to James and Louisa before James died in 1842. The oldest child, William, had just turned fourteen. Granville was ten, Silas was eight, Malinda was five and the youngest, James P., was two years old.

On September 1, 1845, Louisa married Hyram Brandon, a minister of the gospel who helped organize Tranquility Church in 1848. In the 1860 census “Louesa” is shown living in Roane County with husband “Hyran” Brandon with four children ranging in age from thirteen to seven. “Lima” is also listed as being twenty-three years of age. “Lima” is evidently Linny by Louisa’s first husband, James Wade.

On November 1, 1862, we find William, Silas and James P. at Huntsville, Tennessee, enlisting in the Union Army. Granville would join his Spradling cousins and John Hart III in fighting with the 43^rd Confederate Infantry, Company D.(To search the Soldiers & Sailors System database enter: Confederate; Tennessee; 43, Infantry, then click the resultant link that reads "Click here to search for soldiers in the unit.") John Hart III was also a cousin as Louisa’s sister, Mary Elizabeth Spradling, married John Hart II in 1834.

James P. would die and be buried at Murfreesboro. Malinda would lose her first husband, Daniel Carden, in the Battle of Chickamauga. Some years later Malinda would marry William C. Wattenbarger and move to Texas.

On September 24, 1864, William and Silas would be captured while defending the fort at Athens, Alabama. They were then sent to the infamous Cahaba Confederate Prison on the banks of the Alabama River where the conditions were horrible beyond belief.

In February of 1865, as part of a north-south prisoner exchange, Silas and William, along with 2400 other passengers, most of whom were Confederate prisoners, were put on board the ill fated Sultana steamer to be sent to Camp Chase, Ohio. The steamer exploded, burned and sank at 2:00 AM April 27, 1865, seven miles north of Memphis with a loss of most of those on board. It is the greatest loss of lives in a maritime disaster that has ever been recorded.

Silas and William were among the survivors, but were hospitalized in Memphis and eventually mustered out of the Union Army June 10, 1865. William was more seriously wounded than Silas and only lived until 1872. Silas suffered from deafness and was never again able to do hard labor. He died in 1902 and is also buried at Tranquility near his older brother William.

Silas and wife Adaline had seven children. Two sons would die at age nineteen and one son would die at age 22. Daughter Sarah would marry Leander Thomas. Daughter Martha Ellen would marry Thomas Owen and later move by herself to Texas with her five children about 1893, where she died a tragic death in a house fire. Daughter Iva Ree would marry James Herd and lived in Knoxville.

Silas and Adaline’s only surviving son, William Daniel, would marry Nancy Jane Owen, the daughter of Marshal and Caroline Owen, in 1880 and acquire property from his father-in-law in the Rogers Creek Community. W. D. and Nancy Jane are buried in the Tranquility Cemetery along with their oldest daughter, Bertie Caroline Wade Ellis.

JAMES WAIDE

James Waide is the earliest Wade ancestor I have been positively able to identify. The James Waide family appears in the 1830 McMinn County Census living next to the Richard Spradling family. (The Waide homeplace is just north of and joins the Richard Spradling homeplace)

In the “Marriages of Albermarle County and Charlottesville, Virginia 1781-1929” by William L Norford, page 221, is listed the marriage of James Waide to Louisa Spradling on October 26, 1827. Just above this entry is listed the marriage of David Wade (possibly James’ younger brother) to Louisa Toms on May 9, 1827.

In the "Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia" page 181, is listed Wade vs. Wade. S. 226; N. S. 80 Bill 1811. Bill by Rebecca (wife), Hamilton (son) and Elizabeth (daughter) regarding the estate of David Wade who died testate in Montgomery County, Virginia in 1803. Elizabeth is listed as being married indicating David Sr. would have to have been at least 35-40 years of age. John, William, James and David are listed as infants indicating Rebecca may have been David Sr.' second wife.

The David and Rebecca Wade family listed in the Virginia records is the only family I have found that fits the time line for our James Waide and includes James as an infant family member. It is interesting to note David Wade apparently died about age 40 and our James Waide died in 1842 thirty nine years later and about he same age as David Wade. Silas Wade later had two sons to die at age 19 and one at age 22 indicating there may have been a genetic connection.
