The Descendants of
Wade Milam
of Tate & Panola County, Mississippi
Wade Milam, the son of Virginia-born parents, was born a slave around 1820 in Alabama, according to census records. It is possible that he was brought to Tate County by Joseph R. & Eunice Milam, who migrated to Mississippi in about 1835 from Madison County, Alabama. Based on census information, Wade was married three times and was the father of at least fifteen children. His first wife was named Peggy Milam, who was born in about 1826 in Tennessee. Her son’s death certificate reports her maiden name as Margaret Briscoe. Wade’s second wife was a pure Cherokee Indian named Fannie Milam, born about 1845 in the Cherokee Nation. His last wife was named Mary Love.
