Dad doesn't recall much at all about WVW:
I have always heard that WVW was "Professor of Penmanship" at Allegany College (though back then maybe it had a different name?) in Meadville, PA.
Dad once visited the family cemetary in Riceville, PA and thinks he took a snapshot of WVW's gravestone which he will locate.

Notes for Durant Wade:
Durant purchased on July 28, 1750, from Richard Ely III, land and a mansion house in the Third Society (North Lyme). On May 27, 1761, he sold these properties to Abraham Perkins (Pember Supplement, p. 3). It is likely that at this time he removed, with others from his family, to Litchfield County area By the mid-1760's, Durant had moved with the large parties to the north along the Connecticut River. He was one of the proprietors of Gilsum (later divided to form Surry Township, Cheshire Co., NH). In the drawing of lots, he received three 50 acre plots on Carpenter Hill. He built on that land before 1770. In 1772, he was chosen Fence Viewer. On March 19, 1770, he sold a portion of his South Farm to his son Thomas, and the remainder to Dr. Gideon Tiffany of Keene, in 1773. At about that time, he removed to Walpole, Chester Co., NH where he lived until 1789. He removed to Waitsfield, Washington Co., VT where he died in 1805.
