I was interested to see the recent post from [email protected], which showed an Emily Wait in her lineage. I am not directly connected to the Waits, but I wonder if this Emily would have been a daughter of Oliver and Jane Wait, who lived in Carlton Township? If so, their son, William "Will" was married to my grandpa's sister, Ruby STADEL WAIT, who lived to be 106 years old. This family appeared in the 1884 Michigan State Census listed below.
