Surnames: Waugh Campbell Brown Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ZYVBAEB/427.1.1 Message Board Post: Thanks for your reply. I'd appreciate learning the nature of your interest in Richard Waugh. There are numerous published references to the man of that name who came to Davidson Co., TN, by way of Knoxville, in the late 1790s and served many years as postmaster and register in Charlotte, Dickson Co., where he participated in several land transactions and finally died insolvent before 17 October 1842 - his heirs annonymously recorded to be "non-residents of Tennessee." I've been unsuccessful in connnecting this Richard (who I believe circumstantially to have been the father of my ancestor, John, although 1820 & 1830 census records show Richard living alone in TN) with the man you mention who married Pamela Campbell. There appear to have been other Richard Waughs who lived in VA in the late 1700s, one of whom married widow Margaret Brown in Orange Co. VA in 1782 but died in Culpepper Co, VA in 1805.
