John and Keziah Waite were listed on an
Indenture with his siblings for the sale of his father Richard’s land in 1793. The
siblings listed were John and his wife Keziah of Madison County, George and his
wife Elizabeth of Albemarle County, James of Orange County, Elizabeth Lobb,
Sally and Leeroy Canady of Madison
County.
These same children are all listed in the Christ Church Records of Middlesex
County, Virginia as children born to Richard Waite and Sarah Blake. The third
document to prove these siblings is a Chancery Court Record between Elizabeth
Lobb and William Buckner, agent for the complainants, which clearly states that
she is widow to James Lobb, daughter to Richard Wayt, and sister to George Wayt
of Albemarle.
