The Waters (aka Warters)

Many thanks to Kay Waters Sakaris for her hard work on the Waters family tree! She has proven the line back to Asa Waters with primary sources. Beyond that, I think I've got a good lead with John Waters, Jr., but I haven't had the time or money to support it with anything beyond web sources. So, take this with the appropriate grain of salt.
