Surnames: Waugh Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZYVBAEB/361.3.1.2.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Peter, thanks for the reply.I am curious.You say your family has been in the states for a long time,was it Thomas Waugh that settled down there or was it a descendant of his? I do see in my records that Wellwood Waugh and his sons-Thomas,William,and Wellwood Jr.-built the Willow Church in Waughs River in 1820.I just checked the burial records for the Willow Church cemetary and see that both Thomas Waugh and his wife Mary are buried there.I also have the year of 1793 that Thomas and Mary were married in Pictou,NS by Rev.James MacGregor.I hope this info is helpful.
