JOHN F. WAITS, farmer, P. O. Midway; was born in Harrison County, Ky., May
18, 1839, and is a son of Edward and Elizabeth (Parker) Waits; the former
was also born in Harrison County, where he lived until 1860, when he moved
to Woodford County, and is still a resident of that county and follows
farming.  His father came from Virginia in an early day.  Mrs. Waits (the
mother of subject) was born in Bourbon County about the year 1820 and
died in 1871.  Our subject was educated in the common schools of Harrison
County, and is the third in a family of nine children.  He commenced
business for himself as a farmer and stock raiser in Illinois in 1862,
which business he followed for about one year, when he returned to his
father's in Woodford County, remaining there one year, then went to
merchandising, which business he continued until 1871, when he removed to
Scott County, and has been engaged in farming ever since.  He was married
Sept. 19, 1865 to Miss Sallie McConnell, in Midway, Woodford County.  Her
father was born in Woodford County, Nov. 10, 1801; her mother, Charlotte
(Calvert) McConnell, was born in Fayette County, Dec. 15, 1812.  They have
three children: viz: Jesse C., Charlotte E., and Mattie R.  Mr. Waits is
a Democrat politically, and both he and his wife are members of the
Christian Church.  He and his father and brother own a good farm near the
Georgetown and Frankfort Pike.
