Genealogy of the Waldo Family: A Record of the Descendants of Cornelius Waldo of Ipswich, Mass. from 1647 to 1900 (Online database: NewEnglandAncestors.org, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2004), (Worcester, Mass. , Press of C. Hamilton. Genealogy of the Waldo family : a record of the descendants of Cornelius Waldo, of Ipswich, Mass., from 1647 to 1900, 1902).

This genealogy was compiled by Waldo Lincoln in 1902. It traces the descendants of the founder of the American branch of the Waldo family, Cornelius Waldo. The immigrant was born about 1624, probably in England. It is not known what year Cornelius Waldo came to New England, but the first recorded reference to him is found in the Essex County Court records in 1647. Cornelius settled at Ipswich, Massachusetts, shortly after he arrived in New England, if he did not go there immediately.

Cornelius Waldo married Hannah Cogswell of Ipswich, but the marriage date is unknown. The Waldos had twelve children, and they moved to Chelmsford, Massachusetts, in 1665. Mr. Waldo died January 3, 1700/1, at Chelmsford, and was buried in the old burying-ground there.
