49. Waste Family
       
           It is believed that two brohers, James and Bezaleel, came from Scotland, probably from near Edenburgh, and landed at Portsmouth, New Hampshire in 1670.  They most likely moved to Plymouth, MA as it is here that we find the first known member of the family from whom this line of the family descends.
