WAITE
The following is taken from the Lorain co History 1898
The township of Russia was owned by Street Hughes of New Haven, Conn., having been bought by them of the State of Connecticut. The first settlements in the township were made in the northwest part, contingous to the settlements in Amherst. this may have been because of the nearness to settlements already made, and also because of the better quality of the land. The first settlemtnts seem to have been made in 1818. In that year, Daniel Rathburn, Isreal Cash, Thomas Waite, Johnathan Buck, John Callum and Isreal Camp, settled on lots number one and 11. In 1822, Walter Buck, Samual T. Whiteman and Esquire Green settled in the same neighborhood, but perhaps not on the sames lots. In 1823, John McCalley settled on lot twelve and in 1824 Daniel Axtell bought him out. In 1825 Richard Rice settled on lot forty - two; Isreal Smith, Stand Burlaugh and Abram Wellman on lot twelve; Stephen Baker on lot three, and still lost four.
In 1819, when the township was surveyed into lots and divided between the purchasers, Milton Whitney became a large owner. He came from the eat in the following year, measured and examination of his land, and induced a couple of enterprising young men to settle upon it. Thomas Waite of New York State, originally settled in Amherst township but after a short stay, removed into Russia. His sons, Jerry Thomas were the first men who went into Pittsfield with the intention of permanent residence. Milton Whitney gave each of them fifty acres of land in lot one hundred, and seven and they took up their abode upon it in the spring of 1821. Jerry Waite died early in life. Thomas Waite is in his seventy eight year and resides upon almost the exact site of the rude log cabin which he erected half a century ago.
Thomas Waite once killed a full grown elk upon the farm of Edward Marcham, which so far as can be learnt was the only animal of that kind that ever fell victim to an early settler rifle. He shot the stag sewveral times before he brought him down, and finally drove him into the bed of a small creek, where a well directed shot finished his life. Mr. Waite otherwise known as "Uncle Tommy" has the antlers in his prosession many years and was very fond of the trophy.
