Robert, there is a Wayne Co. NY, but it was not formed until 1823, according to the
HandyBook for Genealogists, from Ontario and Seneca counties. I searched for
"wain" and alternate spellings at the USGS search form,
http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form, and got the following
results:

Perhaps you need to research where Charles and Patience's relatives and neighbors came
from, in Noble MI. Is this the township of Noble, in Branch Co. MI? If so, what research
have you done in Branch Co.?
