Mary Ann, daughter of Nicholas Sprenger and Maria Bird was born in McConnellsville, OH.
Her father was born in Germany and came to the United States as a young man, settling in PA before going to OH.
In 1849 he emigrated to Linn County in the Oregon Territory where he died in advanced years on his DLC.
Mary Ann married Aaron Emmons Wait in Linn City, Oregon Territory in May 1853. Three children were born to them.
~Columbia Lancaster b 1854 died in infancy in 1858 in Oregon City, Oregon Territory.
~Charles Nicholas b 1856 d 1939
~Mary Clare b 1859 and did not live
The date of death for both mother and daughter is Mar 1859 leading to assumption there were complications during childbirth.
Only their second child, Charles Nicholas lived to adulthood, marrying 1st Lorena Jane Marks who died at 22 yrs, bur at Baker Prairie; 2nd marr to Willamena Woicka; their 1st son was named for Judge Wait: Aaron Emmons Wait b 1898 [the yr the Judge died] d 1988.
Mary Ann's unfortunate death would have been during the time her husband was appointed as Chief Justice for Oregon and when statehood became a reality.
