Came to South Hadley circa and residing there JAW states that he has not yet found proof that William is the father of his Adin Wait. However, the fact that A History of Delaware County states that Adin and William were early settlers at "Cockburns Gore" and that William Wait was the first death there seem conclusive to him. Also William's second wife Sarah is buried in Adin's lot in Sinclairville Cemetery. Additionally, he found that William and his first wife Mary had a son Adin d at S. Hadley. It does seem likely that they would name a younger son Adin as well. Members of the First Church of South Hadley.

The Will of Adin Wait I Adin Wait of the town of Charlotte, in the County of Chautauqua & State of New York, of the age of sixty eight years [ ], considering the uncertainty of this mortal life, & being of sound mind & memory, do make publish & ordaine this my last will & testament, in manner following that is to say: I give & bequeath to my wife Tabitha Wait, all my household furniture, beds, bedding, wearing apparel, & all other my household goods of every name & description whatever.

In case he shall not be able to pay & satisfy the said sums of money full within six years after my decease, I do hereby direct that he shall pay interest upon such portions as remains unpaid, after the term of six years... The Case for William and Adin Being Brothers The 1790 US Census for South Hadley lists two Wait families: William and Martin, both with males under 16 years, so Adin could belong to either family. Adin and William Sr. moved to Delaware Co., NY. A History of Delaware County states that Adin and William were early settlers at "Cockburn's Gore" and that William Wait was the first death in Franklin Co Federal Census (Wait, Adin 16; Wait, William 15)

6 The Hampshire County Waite Family page 6 The 1800 US Census index for Delaware CO, NY, lists Adin and one female, both aged There is also a William with female, both 26-45, with 2 females under 10 years. Since this William would be b , this is William, Jr. b Adin's obit places him in Granby MA (Granby had broken off from South Hadley) Wait, Adin died last week in Charlotte; native of Granby, Mass aged about 70 years. He was among early settlers of county, emigrated abt. 30 yr. ago... first located in Fredonia & built blacksmith shop on or near the spot now occupied by Col. Forbes handsome house, which he operated abt 10 years. (The Fredonia Censor 26 Dec 1848) William Wait's (William Jr. and Adin's father) second wife, Sarah, is buried in Adin's lot in Sinclairville Cemetery.

Stephen Tinkham married Roxanna Wait, daughter of William Wait Jr. Adin had a daughter, Emma Waite, Female, b. 24 June 1810, Masonville, Delaware, NY married Samuel Flagg Forbush, Male. This letter clearly shows the relationship between William D. Wait and Adin Wait as brothers. The State road from Cherry Valley to Jericho (now Bainbridge and Afton) was opened in 1797, when settlers come and located along the road. Among the earlier settlers were Adin and William Wait, Daniel Scranton, Enos Goodman, Justin Nash, Peres Moody and son Moses, Asa Terry, Caleb Monson, Darius Smith, Timothy Eastman, Bernice Hazor, Silvester and Ebenezer Smith, Dr. Pliny Smith and Eli St. John.
