Will of Joseph Wait, dated 7 Apr 1721, names [among others] daughter Hannah the wife of David Mainard. Will names first wife Ruhamah, then son William [birth recorded 1679], a list of daughters, and then son Joseph [birth recorded 1695] as residual legatee is listed last. Hannah is list as 2nd of the 4 daughters named [none of their births recorded].
↑ Parents estimated by various sources (e.g., Bond, Torrey) to have marry about 1675. Daughter Ruhamah d. 1714 aged 38, so born about 1676 apparently oldest child. Oldest son William b. 20 Sep 1679. Based on order of will Mary and then Hannah are first two surviving daughters. Hannah's first child born 1703, so probably born by 1683. This would allow for Mary to be younger than William, and b. about 1681. It is possible Mary is older than William, then Hannah could be the one born in 1681.
