Part I -do- Part II Photocopy, 1803 tax abatement of Wait Worden The Homestead of Wait Worden of Waterford Wait Worden 's "mortgage deed' of 1809 (photocopy) Transcript of "mortgage deed"

Oliver Norton Worden analyzes the family of John I as follows (parenthetical words and underlines mine):

"Besides John 2d, Nathan, Joseph, and Hannah, in the family of John 1st and Dorothy Worden (of Charlestown) are floating traditions of a Gideon, Wait, and Peter.

Oliver Norton Worden wrote that he "...had heard from his father, or Uncle Wait, something about their having an uncle or great-uncle Wait, in Lyme, Connecticut." He went on to say that this ".. .Wait lived near the town line between ancient Lyme and Waterford." (Ref. B.)

This Wait Worden was further identified by ONW as being the father of five named children, one of whom, "Sullivan," was my great-grandfather, John Sullivan Worden. He further stated that the family removed to the Genesee Country (of New York State. My great-great-grandfather, Wait, and his family, did just that.

17. Although not proved by documentary evidence, other facts and conclusions believed to be logically drawn therefrom, leave no' doubt in my mind that the "Uncle Wa it"

(to Jesse Babcoc_ Worden and his brother Wait Rogers Worden) who lived near the town line between ancient Lyme and Waterford, who had a son named "Sullivan" was my

great-great-grandfather Wait. And since he was the uncle of Jesse Babcock Worden and Wait Rogers Worden (thus a brother of their father, John II , who was a son of John I) he, Wait, also had to be a son of John Worden I and Dorothy Satterly.
