Notes for Henry Augustus Waid:
Moved to the West in early life, served his country in the war of the Rebellion, and died in Illinois. Page from notebook in Crawford Historical Society Library lists birth date as January 5, 1816. From Third Souvenir, we find the following: "... where we met Temperance Gibbs, who told me of Augustus Waid's three children--two boys and one girl. Horace Waid is now thirty years old, is married and living on a farm; Aunt Roxey is married to John Tolle, and lives in Rushville, Schuyler County, Ill." This would seem to indicate that Henry's wife's name was Roxey.
I found a Henry A. Wade that served A Company, 99th Infantry Regiment of Illinois as a private. He enlisted on July 30, 1862 and was discharged on January 22, 1863. He was from Pittsfield, Pike Co., IL. Henry was in Pike Co., in the 1850 and 1860 census returns. Roxey Tolle, on Henry A. Waid, filed pension applications #334662 for her and one for minor, Horace A. Waid, #383651.
