    Some genealogies report that after Wade's cousin Charles Lee died, Charles' wife married Wade.  They give his name as William Wade Cowart, as in the WWI registratoin above.  But I found that in the Atlanta City Directory he is listed as C Wade Cowart.  They wre living in the city of Decatur in 1937.
