- On 16 Sep 1665, the Town Council of Portsmouth wrote the
following: "Where as it pleased the Almighty God,
that Jo. Waite, second son to Thomas Wayt of Portsmouth
in Rhode Island, in ye colony of RI and Providence
Plantation in New England in America was drowned on the
25th day Aug, past and deceased without making a will..."
- At the time Joseph Waite died, his wife, Sarah, was with
child. It is assumed that William was that child. [WAIT-GE.GED]
