| Note | "A Family Record of the Waits of Cattaraugus County," by Clara Waite Burroughs. In 1639 in Portsmouth he obtained permission to build a house (the land being held in common); and on March 16, 1641, he was made a freeman at Newport, R.I.. a privilege then granted only to church members. He died, intestate, in Portsmouth before April, 16877; so the Town council divided his property among his six children. Some historians have believed that in the division of the property of Thomas Wait his son Benjamin's name was the one omitted. However, if the property was "divided among his six children," and the son Joseph was already dean, the "six children" must logically have included the son Benjamin. Our thanks to Mrs. Edythe Wilson Thoesen, a former instructor at the University of Colorado, who supplied the following information and copies: "In the winter of 1913-14 in the basement of the Town House of Portsmouth was found a document of the division of the estate of Thomas Wait leaving no doubt as to his heirs, over which the historians have s\disagreed for years. In it was named wife Eleanor, children Samuel, Thomas, Benjamin, Reuben, Jeremiah, and Mary. Joseph had died previously and was not named. Thomas and Jeremiah were under 20 years of age. The following document was copied for me: 'Bee it known unto all whom it may concerne That I, Samuel Wayte, Do by these presents acknowledge my Selfe to owe and Stand justly Indebted unto the Council of the Town of Portsmouth on Rode Island or unto their successors the full and just sum of 350 pounds to be levied and Executed on my Lands, Goods, Cattell or Chattells to the performance threof I Binde my selfe, my heirs, Executors, and Administrators------witness my hand and seale and 21st of January, 1675. "The condition of the above written obligation is such That whereas Thomas Wayte, father to the said Samuel Wayte; eceased intestate; whereupon the councill of the towne of Portsmouth in the year 1669 ordered the disposall of his estate; according to Law therein, Impowering Ellin, widow of the said Thomas, Executrix during her life; and after her decease unto the above said Samuel, who now being by the decease of his mother Ellin Executor to the estate of his father. That if the above named and bounde Samuel Wayte shall truly administer on the estate of his said Deceased father and mother in the true and faithful performance of the aforesaid acts of Councill mad in the aforesaid years 1669 in and concerning the promises. Then the above written obligation to be void and of non'effect, otherwise to stand in full force and vertue. (Signed) Samuel Waite (Seal) Note: He calls his mother "Ellin" and the town council called her "Eleanor." |
