Esteem for John Waugh's Son

 

• John Waugh: Source mentions a Rev. John Waugh who resided at Indian Draft. This John Waugh was married to Miriam Johnson. The source mentions three of his sons: Levi Waugh, a Confederate veteran; Beverly Waugh, a Union veteran; and John Waugh, who served as deputy sheriff of Pocahontas County. This John Waugh was known for his skill in metalworking, especially the manufacture of hoes. He was a prominent member of his church and served as a local preacher. He died a few years before the source was written, at a very advanced age.

• Samuel Waugh: The sources discuss Samuel Waugh, another early settler in The Hills, who was the son of James Waugh, Sr. Samuel Waugh had a son named Robert Waugh, who was a well-regarded schoolteacher. Robert Waugh was said to be a bright and interesting young man who was forced to give up manual labor due to rheumatism contracted from exposure to damp ground.

While the sources offer information on these sons of John and Samuel Waugh, there is no mention of them being held in high esteem. It is possible that more information about a specific son of John Waugh could be found in a more detailed biography or genealogy of the Waugh family.
