  • About A. D. 1480, one ___ Ithell, of North Wales, married a Miss Pierce. They had a son, Pierce Ithell, whose daughter Mary was m. about 1540, to Richard Woodall, Udall, Woddall, Worrell, or Wardwell, of Warwick, England. One of their sons. Dr. John Wardell, and a grandson, who crossed the ocean in 1594, had much to do with early Virginia settlements. An older son, William, was married by 1565 to Meribe Lascelle, the daughter of a French couple, Gershom and Meribe Lascelle.
  • There were three great-grandsons of Gershom Lascelle and Richard Wardwell among these. Two of them, William4 and Thomas4 were brothers, sons of 'Lascelle Wardwell3'. The other was their cousin, William4, son of Gershom Wardwell3. The 'fathers of these men, Lascelle' and Gershom, were sons of William2 and Meribe Lascelle the younger, mentioned in a preceding paragraph. William, son of Gershom, went to Portsmouth, R. I., and became a Friend. Two of his daughters married Anthonys, one of them, Frances, who married John Anthony, became the fore-mother of Susan B. Anthony.
  • Thomas of Boston was the father of Samuel5. This Samuel's wife, Sarah Hawkes, in a fit of religious enthusiasm, in order to "mortify the flesh," appeared at church one day in the costume that Eve wore in the garden of Eden. The town authorities had her soundly whipped for it. When

  • the witchcraft excitement broke out in 1692, Sarah Hawkes-Wardwell and her daughter were both arrested as witches. Badly frightened, they said it was Samuel, the husband and father, who had been bewitching people. He denied it, but was hung Sept. 20, 1697, as "an impenitent witch and possessor of a familiar spirit."
  • William, of Boston, brother to Thomas, was born in 1610. Came to the colonies in 1633, as "Our brother, Edmund Quincey's servant," (Church records.) He married Alice ___ and had 5 children, of whom the second was Uzel (Lascelle), b. April 7, 1639. When the church banished Rev. Mr. Wheelwright for heresy, William, for being too friendly with him had his arms and freeman's privileges taken from him for a time. William died either at Wells or Boston in 1670. One of the entries in the Wells records gravely assigns a pew in the church to him, " To sitt in ye sixth of ye men's long seats in consideration that his son Elihu sitt in ye same seat."
  • William of Boston's two sons, Uzel and Elihu Wardwell, both served in King Philip's War, 1675-6, as the Mass. archives show. Uzel, the ancestor of all of Lieut. John Greene's line (of Chapter XV) served under Capt. Nicholas Paige, and the state of Mass. still owes him for his services, 5L, 10s ($25.00). [Mass. Archives, vol. 68.]
  • Another child of William and Meribe Wardell was Rosanna, who married ___ Waite. They had several children who came to the Colonies, Melutable, the oldest, who married Richard Hill, of William, and was left a widow soon after coming to the new country ; Richard Waite, born in 1596, Gambiel, b. in 1598, and Thomas, b. 1601. All of these came about the height of the Anti-Laud emigration. One of the sons, Thomas, went to Portsmouth, R. I., in 1639, and from him all the R. I. Waites are descended. D. Byron Waite's "Waite Genealogy" takes up their history, so it need not be given here.
