In researching identity of Deborah Wait Dyer Ayslworth b.circa 1725, the following data has been gleaned:
According to Arthur Ayslworth and his Descendents in America, Homer Elhanan Aylsworth, Providence, RI, 1887,pp63: Deborah Waite Dyer, “of Exeter” widow of William Dyer, married 1 July 1753 Philip Ayslworth. Their known children are Caleb, m. Huldah Weightman; Henry, m. Mary Huntley, and Sally/Sarah, “who went with them, or with whom they went to Canada.”. Nothing further of her history has been found.
The author goes on to say Deborah (Waite) had a sister, Lucretia Hopkins, who died in Rhode Island, and also had three brothers, Benjamin, Samuel, and George Waite, who went to Prince Edward County after she died, and who died there, probably.
Based on the above data, I very strongly believe that this Deborah Waite is one in the same as the following daughter of Samuel Wait.
From NEHG Register, vol 73, October 1919, p.299:
#13. Samuel Wait, (Samuel, Samuel, Thomas) was born at Kingstown, RI, 12 Oct 1701. He married, about 1724, Sarah ________. [Her family name could be Greene] children
recorded at Exeter:
i. Deborah, b. at North Kingstown, 11 July 1725
ii. Caleb, b. at North Kingstown 11 Sept 1727
iii. Martha, b. at North Kingstown 4 Dec 1729
iv. Ruth, b. at North Kingstown 12 May 1732
v. Lucretia, b. at North Kingstown 22 Jan 1734
vi. Eleanor, b at North Kingstown 9 Jan 1736; m at Exeter, 23 Nov 1752, Robert Moon
vii. Samuel b. at North Kingstown 1 Jan 1738, m. at East Greenwich, 8 Jun 1758, Ann Gardner, dau. of John of East Greenwich, deceased.
viii. Catherine, b at North Kingstown, 19 June 1740
ix. Henry (twin) b at Exeter 7 Jan 1742/3
x. Jonathan (twin) b at Exeter 7 Jan 1742/3
xi. Benjamin b at Exeter, 5 Jan 1745/6
xii. Alice, b at Exeter in June 1747; probably m Samuel Albro
xiii. George, b. at Exeter 22 Mar 1749.
Preponderence of evidence seems to make the link to this Wait/Waite family, ie. children’s names of the Ayslworths,and the known names of Deborah Waite’ s sister and three brothers as well as her other siblings, ie. Caleb and Henry and her mother Sarah turning up as the names of her
children.
Would like to hear from anyone who has more material on these families.
