Doug,
I have nothing to add to this family that you do not have as of yet, but I will keep it in mind as I try to sort through the Wait families of upper Mississippi.I know that there were at least three Wait brothers, [Madison, Thomas, & Zachariah,] living in the Lafayette, Pontotoc, & Yalobusha Co. area with John Culpeper Wait, a cousin, in Tate co. from 1845 onward.These all came from Laurens SC.I know that there was also a James & Tempe Waits and his brother Carroll A. Wait who moved to the Holly Springs area in the mid 1840's.
Have you found out who the father of Absalom P. Waits was yet?The above three brothers were sons of James & Sarah Sims Wait of Laurens.I can prove it now.We are still missing three sons of this couple.
