General Notes: Husband - John Waits

---

He came from east of the mountains and located a tract of land on the waters of Chartiers Creek in Washington County, Pennsylvania, in the spring of 1785. A cabin was built and he cleared off a small patch of ground. He died soon after, and a warrant was issued to Sarah Waits, his widow, dated April 5, 1786, "in trust for the use of the heirs of John Waits, deceased." It was surveyed as "The Charge," and contained three hundred and two acres, adjoining land of Widow Moore, William McLaughlin, David McNary, and Samuel Brown. Patent for it was obtained Sept. 17, 1790. In 1788 Mrs. Sarah Waits was assessed on two hundred acres of land.
