Person talk:John Waite (28)

Same John Waite married 2 sallys? [31 October 2013]

Seems to me that 19 children is a lot for one man to father, but several sources assume that the John Waite who married Sally Buxton married Sally Smillage (a married name) after Sally #1's death (Stone Sloops of Chebeague via "Stevens/Mansfield/Southworth/Medieval Database on WorldConnect," for example)

The dates of the marriages and the death dates for Sally #1 do line up, and the two sets children do not duplicate any names (in a family that is notorious for reusing the exact same names each generation...), so it is entirely possible this is the same John.
