Do you know where the name Wateman comes from? It was the given name of my grandfather Wateman/Waitman HASTINGS b. 1819 in Sussex Co., DE. A 'non-Bible' name among the Biblical for almost all other members of the family for generations. Later, there was a Rev. Wateman/Waitman WRIGHT, an itinerant minister in Mercer Co., western OH, and environs, where my HASTINGS family migrated. He would have been younger and I haven't tracked him down.
