Date c. 1751 due to 1812 is first Haldimand Census to show George Wait as "1 male over 60" instead of "1 male 16 to 60" which shows in 1810. George Waite is father of Samuel Waite (1783) per GEDCOM of Keith Armstrong, May 16 2010.

  George Waite is father of Samuel Waite (1783) per GEDCOM of Keith Armstrong, May 16 2010.
  George Wait & ? are parents of Garner Wait per Teresa Smith, May 20 2010. Wife's name is Elizbeth Briggs Sall per GEDCOM of Susanlyn Fish, Mar 18 2011.
  Date of Marriage may be based on Sophia who must be born c. 1773???; Principal=Elizabeth Salls Briggs^2,6
• Marriage*: circa 1805; Haldimand Twp., Northumberland Co., Upper Canada; Haldimand Township Census records show that George Wait was along in 1803 and 1804, but, in the 1806 record has a female 16 to 60 in the household. This means a woman much younger than Elizabeth Briggs. The records are consistent in this. Must be a second wife. (Dan Buchanan, Sep 2 2023); Principal=? ?⁷
• Death*: circa 1824; Haldimand Twp., Northumberland Co., Upper Canada; Last Census Record for George Wait 1823.⁷
• Burial*: circa 1824; Fairview Cemetery, Haldimand Twp., Grafton, Northumberland Co., Upper Canada; Memorial: (See Exhibit) George Wait; His son; Joseph Wait; And; Relatives (Fairview Cemetery, Grafton, Jul 9 2004)
  CemSearch: Name: George Wait; Born: - ; Died: - ; "Not known if George is buried here." Cemetery: Fairview Cemetery, Haldimand Twp., Conc 1, Lot 19, East; Other names: Joseph Wait, Sadie Onyon, Willie Onyon
  Note: I'm really curious what, exactly, the inscription on this stone means. It's a fairly old stone itself, so it might refer to early settlers - the father George and his son Joseph. (Dan Buchanan, Sep 2 2023)^3,4

• Census: 1790; Hoosick, Albany Co., New York, U.S.A.; 1790 US Fed Census: George Wait; 1 male 16 and over; 4 males under 16; 4 females; Total 9 (1790 US Fed Census: Hoosick, Albany Co., New York, pg. 1 of 4, line 4 from top on left side. (Stillwater is on right side page.) Ancestry.ca.
  Note: "The town of Hoosick was organized in 1788, in Albany County, three years before the creation of Rensselaer County in 1791.The region was formerly the District of Hoosick (1772) and previous to that the Hoosick Patent (1688). The Battle of Bennington of the American Revolution was fought northeast of Hoosick, on a farm owned by John Green,[6] in the community of Walloomsac. " from Wikipeida (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoosick,_New_York)
  
  Note: The shape and size of this family does not match what we assume for George Wait who came to Upper Canada. I think we are mixing up two separate families. (Dan Buchanan, Sep 2 2023)⁸
• Immigration*: 1797; Upper Canada; US & Canada Passenger and Immigration Lists Index: Name: George Wait; Arrival Year: 1797; Arrival Place: Canada; Primary Immigrant: George Wait; Source: 2060.17; Annotation: Date and place of loyalist oath of allegiance. Extracted from RG1, L7, volume 52B District Loyalist Rolls and Others, located at the Manuscripts Division of the National Archives of Canada in Ottawa. File number, district name, township name, and index.; Source Bibliography: FITZGERALD, E. KEITH. Ontario People: 1796-1803. Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc., 1993. 250p.; Household Members: George Wait (US and Canada Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, ancestry.ca)
  Note: George is shown as the only immigrant in this family, or that is what it appears to mean. His sons married in NY and did not move until the 1810s. Did he come alone initially? Curious.⁵
• Note: 1797; Haldimand Twp., Northumberland Co., Upper Canada; After collecting as much info as possible re George Wait and his family, it looks to me like he came to Upper Canada in 1797 all by himself. The immigration record suggests that, although it is hard to tell based on sparse info. What we do know is that he was alone for the 1803 and 1804 census. In 1806, he is seen with a female 16 to 60, which probably means he found a second wife in the Haldimand area, probably a widow of an earlier settler. The 1819 census changed a bit and began describing her as over 60, so we can estimate her birth as 1759, making her ten years younger than George. We can follow the census records to 1824 for both George and his female companion, so we can expect they both passed away around that time. There is no mention of her name in these records.
  It is also important to note that the three sons who settled in Haldimand did not come with their father in 1797. They stayed in New York State and two of them got married there - Joseph and Samuel, while Garner got married soon after coming here. Joseph may have been here as early as 1810, and certainly by 1815. Samuel came in 1812 and Garner was here by 1810 when he married Lydia Mott.
  I have found no evidence of any connection between the older three children, Sophia (if she belongs here), Enoch and Briggs, and the younger three. Makes me think we may be dealing with two families. It is hard to see how completely separate these two groups seems to be. It may be just the old kids going with mother and the younger ones with dad, but I expect there is more to it than that. Curious tho. (Dan Buchanan, Sep 2 2023)

  Note: This baptism records says "George Wait of New Canaan, NY". What does that mean?

  Note: I am placing this record with Sisson Wait because there is no evidence of a Cecil Wait in this area at this time. The name "Sisson" has been rendered in any form possible in records and this may be a case of a mistaken or uncertain rendering by an agent or registrar.
  Note: It is also odd that there are not further examples of this name re this lot. All 200 acres are sold by James Norris in 1818. Maybe there was a Cecil Wait and he disappeared or did not take up the lot?? Any ideas out there??⁷
