• 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.

• 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.
