William D. Waite
M, b. circa 1765
| Father | William Waite b. 1730, d. 1822 |
| Mother | Mary Nichols b. 1732, d. 1822 |
William D. Waite was born circa 1765.1 The Waites figured in the settlement of New England from an early date. Thomas Waite, the ancestor in this country, arrived in Plymouth Mass. with his brother Richard in 1634. Another brother, Gamaliel, was already in Boston and the three brothers remained there for a few years. They were born in Wales and traced their descent from Ralf the "Waite" or Minstrel of William the Conqueror.
About 1638 Thomas Waite followed Roger Williams to Rhode Island where greater religious freedom was available. There he settled and raised his family and died in 1677.
Two of Thomas Waite's sons left the coast and went farther into the wilderness of Massachusetts, joining other colonists along the Connecticut River in the settlements of Hatfield, Deerfield, Springfield, and Hadley. William D. Waite was born in one of these places, the son of William Waite of South Hadley.2
During the Revolutionary War, William served in the Connecticut Line, enlisting 16 May 1780 under Col. Wm. Douglas
William grew to manhood and probably married before migrating to Saratoga County, New York. It is not known how long he remained there but his older children were probably born there. By 1807 old deeds show that they had moved to Marcellus in Onondaga County. The younger children were born there and the oldest daughters, Polly and Roxanna, were married to Dexter Otis and Stephen Tinkham.
In November 1820 William purchased 314.5 acres of land in the Connecticut Western Reserve of Ohio, about half of the plateau later known as "Waite Hill". The family moved to this tract as pioneers in 1821.
The foregoing information was obtained from a typed transcript provided by Betty Goss in Feb 1996 and ascribed to an article, The Story of Waite Hill by Lillian Tryon Curtis. However, most of this information does not appear in a copy of Part I of this article also provided by Betty.3
