Life Sketch

Her maiden name is Alice Patten, daughter of Richard Patten (d. 1536). Alice was the widow of Thomas Searle of Essex and sister of Wm Patten. She was Armagil Waad's second wife and bore him 17 children. 11 of the 17 all died before Armagil's own death. Their eldest surviving son was William Waad; another was Thomas (1547-1594)

"And to Alice Patten, who bore to her husband seventeen children, of whom two sons and three daughters at present survive, who having lived her life most chastely and piously, returned her soul to her creator in the year of our Lord 1568." Stated by her son, Sir Wm Wade on the memorial to her husband and his father, Armagil Wade. THIS statement tells us that Alice Patten was the 2nd wife, not the first wife, and that she died same year as her husband, 1568.

See pg. 98 in "The Wade genealogy : being some account of the origin of the name, and of the lost folkstory of the famous hero, Wada, particulars and pedigrees of famous Englishmen of the name : and genealogies of the families of Wade of Massachusetts and New Jersey, to which are added many miscellaneous pedigrees" in sources.

---

I AM OF THE OPINION after looking at the evidence of these two wives and their prior marriages, that Alice Patten Searle, who was widowed when her first husband died, married Armagil Wade in 1541, as a record exists that states so. She bore 17 children, 3 girls and 14 boys, 11 of the children pre-deceased their father who died in 1568. Only 2 of the 14 boys survived, Sir William, the oldest, (b. 1546/d. 1623) and his younger brother, Thomas (b. 1547/d. 1594). Alice MUST have died sometime after birth of last child (?) as Armagil definitely married again, and married Anne Marbury Bradley, who was widowed in 1558 when her first husband, Edward Bradley died. SO she and Armagil married no sooner than 1558/1559 and they had 3 children together who all died before 1568. 2 children she bore to her first husband still survived, Anne and Judith Bradley, who were named in Armagil's will in 1561. The translated statement by Sir William Wade (Waad) on the memorial to his father must be in error when it gives a death date for Alice as 1568. Maybe she died in 1558 the same year Anne was widowed and free to marry Armagil who was by then also a widower.
