Surnames: Waugh Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZYVBAEB/470 Message Board Post: I am trying to establish if my 4th greatgrandfather William Waugh b:1742 is the ggrandson of Rev John William Waugh b:1630. My descent from William is as follows: William b:1742, Samuel b:1780, Samuel Abner(or Alfred)b:abt. 1814, Abner Quincy b: 1860, and my maternal grandmother Ida E Waugh b: 1889. I have established the descent of a William Waugh from Rev John as follows: Rev John b: 1630, John Jr. b: 1660, William b: 1710 and William b: 1742. I can't seem to find any documentation that shows that the two Williams b:1742 are the same person. I suspect that they are but cannot prove it. Does anyone have any information that would shed any light on this. Thanks much for any help.
