Thank you for the email and inquiry. There seems to be some different information floating around in various family trees. According to my records and my wife's grandfather's records (Loran Wood Wadman), the following is included in my wife's family tree:

Samuel Wadman was born on 27 July 1760 in Sturminster Newton, County of Dorset, England. He was the son of William Wadman (1730-1784) and Hanna Eyers (1718-1776).
Samuel Wadman married Jane Hartwell on 21 May 1750 in Shaftesbury, County of Dorset, England.
Jane Hartwell was born on 15 July 1753 in Laleham, County of Middlesex, England. She was the daughter of John Hartwell (1725-1782) and Mary ??? (1730-???).
Samuel and Jane had 2 sons: William Arthur Wadman (1746-1826) and Francis Neptune Wadman (1781-1870). The story passed down was that Francis was born at sea, therefore the middle name "Neptune". Samuel Wadman was supposedly a British Officer, but I can't find any record of that. He was going to India with his family, and therefore his son was born on board the ship. Samuel Wadman died sometime between 1799 and 1800. His wife and 2 sons moved to Canada. Jane Hartwell Wadman lived in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She met an married a James Crowe or a Richard Robert Crowe in Nova Scotia. The Canadian records show that a Jane Crowe was married in 1815 in Nova Scotia. However, it doesn't show the spouse.
William Arthur Wadman moved to Charlottetown, Queens County, Prince Edward Island. He married Harriet Grosvenor (1781-1862) and they had 11 children. Francis Neptune Wadman moved to Five islands, Colchester County, Nova Scotia. He married Susanne Corbett (1783-1858) and they had 8 children.
I hope this helps.

Samuel Wadman is my Great Great Great Grandfather. He had three children one of which was Francis Neptune which makes him my Great Great Grandfather. Francis Neptune had eight children one of which was John Fraser which makes him my Great Grandfather. John Fraser had nine children one of which was Norris Herbert which makes him my Grandfather. Norris Herbert had five children one of which was Alfred Noble who is my father. Alfred had seven children which I am one of. Phew. What I would like to find out who Samuels Father and Mother are, and so on back, because I am stuck at Samuel. I can use all the help I can get. Thanks

P.S. Samuel was born 1715.
