You stated that John William Waugh b. 1630 in VA is incorrect. He was born in Tyrone, Ireland. He moved to Stafford Co., Virginia and was the minister of Overwharton Parish until about 1700. Rev. John Waugh was also one of the first ministers of Aquia Church which still stands today in Stafford, VA. Rev. Waugh came to Stafford around the 1650's-60's. According to a Virginia historian he almost started a war between Maryland and Virginia. (Protestants vs. Catholics) His daughter, Elizabeth, married Col. George Mason II, father of George Mason III of Gunston Hall Plantation. Elizabeth was George II's second wife. Other prominent Virginia families connected with the Waugh's are the Fitzhugh, Madison, Lee, and Mercer families. This Waugh family can be found in many colonial records of Stafford, Prince William, King George, Orange, and other surrounding counties of Virginia. A good place to start, if you haven't already, is the Virginia Library. www.lva.lib.va.us. Many of Rev. Waugh's papers can also be found on-line. Just do a search on his name and you'll be surprised at what you find. Good Luck.

Looks like your William just may be my William. We just assumed that he was born in N C . I have his date of death as 19 May, 1822. His wife was Elizabeth ?. I have a marriage date of 1779. I have no sibling info. His son was Samuel b: 1780 and was married to Mary Wilson. Samuels son was Samuel Abner and his sibling was James Ranson . Samuel Abner was married to Sarah Ann Lippard and their son was Abner Quincy Waugh b: 08 Nov 1860. Abner Quincy was married to Flora Elizabeth Kyles and their daughter Ida E Waugh b: April 1889 was my maternal grandmother. Abner Quincy date of death was 03 Feb 1942. Other than the speculation that I mentioned before that is what info I have. Would be very interested in what you have.
