Biography

Charles Waste (Charles Wast, Charles West) Birth: about 1710, Massachusetts.^[1]

Death: July 10, 1765 in Plymouth, Plymouth County, Massachusetts

Charles was the son of Richard Waste of Taunton. His mother was the second wife of Richard, Elizabeth Canedy.^[1]

Charles N. Waste became an iron bloomer and owned a foundry in Dartmouth (New Bedford) in Bristol County, Mass. Charles married Deborah Williamson on Nov. 17, 1737, according to the early marriage records of Middleborough, Massachusetts.

Charles's father Richard Waste left his son some land in Middleboro, according to Richard's will of 1719. A deed in the Land Records of Plymouth Co., Mass., dated June 6, 1719, made by "Richard Wast of Taunton, Miller", gave, after his death, to son Charles lots 57, 58 in Middleboro. These lots were sold by Charles Wast of Middleboro in 1742.

On April 6, 1742, Charles was living in Middleboro when he acquired from Ephraim Dunham of Norton, Mass., 28 acres and a dwelling house in Norton, in exchange for two lots in Middleboro. Then on Dec. 16, 1742, Charles, now a resident of Norton, sold the same property to Jacob Leonard.

Charles and his family had moved from Middleboro to Norton in 1742 but did not stay long. Their eldest son Bezaleel was born there that same year of 1742. They then movd to Rochester no later than 1744. His next two sons, Richard and Eli, were baptized in Rochester. Charle's son Richard was killed in action in the War of 1762.

The estate of Charles Wast was administered on Nov. 6, 1765 by son Bezaleel Waste, and sons-in-law George Badcock of Dartmouth and Consider Crapo of Rochester.

Charles Waste died at age 59 on July 10, 1765 when he was impaled on an iron bar which he was carrying when he fell from a footbridge in Plymouth. He was probably buried in Middleboro where he lived at the time of his death. His wife Deborah Waste died at age 72 in 1790 at Wilmington, Windham County, Vermont. In the last two years of her life, Deborah relocated to Wilmington where some of her children and grandchildren lived.
