John Weight married Batchellor Gregory on 4 Nov 1733 in Andover, Hampshire, England.[1]  Batchellor Gregory was christened 20 Oct 1714 in Andover, Hampshire, England.  She was the daughter of William and Ann Gregory.[2]  William Gregory married Ann Gillmore on 13 Jun 1698 in Andover.[3]

There are several Johns with variant spellings of the Weight name.  All were born in Hampshire, England.

John Waight was christened 30 Aug 1697 in Andover.[4]  He may also be the John who was recorded as being christened on 8 Sep 1697 in Andover.[5]  Both John Waight’s were the son of a Richard Waight.  The second entry may be a re-recording of the week earlier christening.

There are two other John Waight’s that might be the same who married Batchelor Gregory.  The first was christened 24 Mar 1707.  He was the son of John and Mary Waight and was christened in Andover.

A last John Waight was christened in Andover on 11 August 1707.  This John was the son of John and Margaret Waight.

Because the last two John Waight’s might have been too young to be the parent of the following children, it is believed that the John who was Richard’s son was the one who married Batchelor/-er/-ellor and christened the following children in Andover.

1  1.     Batchelor Waight was christened 4 Sep 1734.[6]  This was probably a daughter like her mother.
2  2.     Ann Waight was christened 7 Oct 1737.[7]
3  3.     John Waight was christened 3 Nov 1740.[8]
4  4.     Mary Waight was christened 15 Aug 1743.[9]
5  5.     Daniel Waight was christened 6 Jan 1747.[10]
6  6.     Sarah Waight was christened 27 May 1751.[11]
7  7.     Hannah Waight was christened 18 Jun 1753.[12]

This family of John Waight does not contain any wife or children who match with the household that arrived in Charlestown, South Carolina in 1768.
