Message Board Post:
I would like to learn more about Daniel Wait. Here is what I know, or at least think I
know.
Daniel was born 1794, Vermont. He is listed on the 1825 state census in Ellisburg,
Jefferson, New York, living next to Orin Howard.
On 2 May 1820, Daniel Wait and wife Betsy sell property to Thomas Davis. Deed Volume D2,
page 175 in Ellisburg, Jefferson, New York.
In 1830, Daniel is listed on Ellisburg, Jefferson County , New York, federal census living
next to Oren Howard.
In 1835, Daniel is listed on the Ellisburg, Jefferson County, New York on the state
census. There are four males and one female under 45. He owns 6 acres of improved land.
His sons are young, not eligible to vote.
On 1 May 1839, Daniel Wait of LaGrange County, Indiana purchased property in St. Joseph
County, Michigan, township 8, 9w range, sec 15. Jacob Miller of Lagrange County, Indiana,
also bought property here.
On the 1840 federal census Daniel Wait is living in Greenfield, LaGrange, Indiana. There
are five people. He is 40-49, she presumed wife Betsy is 30-39, three sons (one under 5,
two 10-14). His neighbors include: Orrin Howard, Amasa Norton, Charles Selby, Elizabeth
Miller, and Thomas Parham.
On the 1850 federal census Daniel Wait is living in West Greenfield, LaGrange, Indiana. He
is born 1794, Vermont. His wife in not in the household. Sons: Laton, born 1824, New York,
Burton, 1829, New York, and Marcus, born 1837, Indiana. Neighbors include Sally Norton,
born 1796, Massachusettes, Samuel and Nancy Parham.
His son Burton Lindon Wait, born 1828, Jefferson County, New York, died after 1900 Humbolt
County, California. Wife Nancy A. Newland. Children include Ellen, Anna, Franklin A., and
Berton L. Waite, Jr.
The grandson, Berton L. Waite, Jr. was born 7 Jan 1869, California, died 4 Dec 1957 in
Arcata, Humboldt, California, USA. He was married to Christina Maim (1881-1965).
I would like to know more about Daniel Wait. It appears likely that he was related to Oren
Howard, given that they were both living next to each other in Jefferson County, New York
and in Greenfield, LaGrange, Indiana.
Oren Howard (1794-1854) was married to Sarah Kenyon, daughter of Barnabas Kenyon, who is
the focus of my study.
Thanks for any help.
