Waters Family Genealogy

Waters

   "Waters" is an Anglo-Saxon name, first found in Shropshire where they were seated from very ancient times (in Ludlow), before and after the Norman Conquest in 1066. The name indicates that the original bearer of the name lived close to a prominent body of water. The family's Coat of Arms features a gold shield with a blue pale.
   Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: John Waters settled with his wife Frances and three children in Boston Mass. in 1630; Edward Waters settled in Virginia in 1610; Giles Waters settled in Jamaica in 1663.
   Our lineage to this family can be traced to BETSY WATERS, who married ELNATHAN SANDERSON (1777 - 1854) on February 12, 1801. They had nine children: Betsy (b. 1802), DAVID (b. 1804), Julia (b. 1806), Edward W. (b. 1809), Marvin (b. 1811), Sherman Stephanson (b. 1814), Delana (b. 1817), Amanda (b. 1819), and Silvia J. Sanderson (b. 1822). Very little has been recorded of this family.
