They are my 3rd great grandparents. Gorey is apparently a nickname for George. There are several George Waughs in Gallia County, Ohio in the early 1800s, so I suspect he used this name to distinguish himself from all the others. Gorey and Sally moved to Mason County, WV, in the 1830s, where Sally died about 1851. Gorey moved with his son William (my great-great-grandfather) first to Marion County, Illinois in the late 1850s and then to Taney County, Missouri, following the Civil War, where he died sometime in the 1870s. Gorey was probably born in either Amherst or Bedford County, Virginia, the son of Henry Waugh and Elizabeth Brown. Henry and Elizabeth moved to Gallia County, Ohio, in 1801 according to a history of Gallia County. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
