    FIRST RESIDENCE: Boston

    BIRTH: Baptized Rigsby, Lincolnshire, 12 January 1605[/6], son of Richard and Margaret (Carter) Wait [TAG 67:198]. (Records from later in his life give him an inflated age. In a deposition of 28 December 1663 regarding a land transaction between Edmund Gross and William Letherland, Wait called himself "sixty two years or thereabout," so born about 1601 [SLR 9:27]; in another deposition 27 April 1681 he called himself "aged eighty-two years" [SJC #2016]. Sewall called him 87 years old at death.)
    DEATH: Boston 9 December 1685 "about 87 years old", and buried 12 December [Sewall 87].
