  Thomas WAITE was born 1601 at Alford Lines, England (IEL) and was christened 13 Jun 1612 at Alford, Lincolnshire, England. Thomas died 13 Sep 1665 at Portsmouth, Newport, Rhode Island (ER) at the age of 64. "Thomas WAITE was granted land in Portsmouth on 1 Jul 1639... Some rather significant inferences can be made regarding the religious orientation of the Waits by the fact that Thomas at least, became a part of Roger Williams' settlement on Delaware Bay which was organized in 1637 only two years previous to Thomas WAITE's arrival. Roger Williams was exiled from the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635 for his belief in freedom of conscience in religion. He was warmly received by two Indian chiefs, Massosoit and Canonicus, who gave him tracts of land on the Seekonk river.
