Waters is descended from pioneers on both sides of the family. In 1604 Richard Waters, a Londoner by birth, emigrated to Salem, Massachusetts: 206 years la. ter his great-grandson, Abner, migrated westward to what is now north-eastern Ohio. Abner's two sons joined him there, after a journey in a covered wagon drawn by two horses which lasted a month and three days. Incredible though it seems nowadays, in four days the sons had cut the necessary timber and built their house, and were occupied in moving in! The township of which these two homesteads were the first is now known as Gustavus, Ohio. Ralph Milton Waters is a great-grandson of this younger Abner. A similar inheritance is his on the distaff side, for his mother, Nettie Scott, was descended from a family of Scotts who migrated from Ipswich to found Ipswich, Massachusetts. They were among the first settlers of Hartford, Connecticut, and contributed several doctors and teachers to those early communities. Aaron Scott felt" the call of the West" thirty years before Abner Waters, and in 1780 he migrated to" The Connecticut Western Reserve". The settlemept which grew up in that vicinity was presently named Scottsburg in his honour. This was the background against which the infant Ralph made his appearance towards the end of the nineteenth century, at North Bloomficld, Ohio. Since he was the only son he assumed various duties for the home at an unusually early age. at Pennsylvania State University on May 12, 2016 http://bja. oxfordjournals. org/
