Research Notes:

Named in the Inventory taken 5 Nov 1605 after his father's death as indebted 20 shillings.

   Marriage Information:

John married Avis SAWER, daughter of Thomas SAWER of Hareby and Sara, on 23 Jun 1612 in Tetford, Lincolnshire, England. (Avis SAWER was born in 1591 in Hareby, Lincolnshire, England, christened on 29 Apr 1591 in Hareby, Lincolnshire, England and was buried on 16 Nov 1656 in Brinkhill St. Phillip, Lincolnshire, England.)

   Marriage Notes:

A private entry in the IGI has the mother of a couple of John's children as Emec, a misreading of Emott or Emmatt. I believe this is an assumption based on the fact that an Emott Wait died in Brinkhill a widow in 1638 (noting John Wait died in 1631); however, she was probably the same as "Em Holmes" who married Thomas Waite in 1606 in Brinkhill. Thomas died in 1637. There is no record in either the Tetford or Brinkhill parish registers for the marriage of a John Wait and an Emott. Note also that John and Avis's son Richard had a daughter Avis.
