"John Alden, Sr. of Duxbury, cooper, gave to sons Jonathan and
David Alden five acres of salt marsh at Duxbury and “my whole
proportion in the Major’s Purchase commonly so-called being the
thirty-fifth part of said purchase” (The Mayflower Descendant,
vol. 9:145; Plymouth County Land Records, 4:65). The Major’s or
Five Men’s Purchase had been bought by Major Josiah Winslow from
sachem Tispequin in 1663 and consisted of a narrow tract on the
east side of Nemasket River between the upper and lower Indian
paths to Plymouth, extending to the Carver line (Middleboro
History p. 600)."

The History of the Waugh Family of Gallia County Has it's
origins in the Rev. John Waugh. He was born in Tyrone, Ireland
in 1630 and came to Virginia in the 1660's. A few letters he
wrote during the 1660's are preserved in the Virginia State
Library in Richmond, Va.
A short selection follows.
Letter of Rev. John Waugh to Matthew Steele*
Cossen Steele
I have business depending at ye Court but I am afraid I cannot
be there by reason ye both my horses be gone out into ye woods
with a company of wild horses & Cannot be got therefrom I
entreat if you be at Court humbly to crave reference of wt
business I have depending there

Rev. John Waugh lived in that portion of Westmoreland made into
Stafford County, in 1666. The law imposed upon a minister a fine
of 10,000 pounds of tobacco for marrying persons without a
license duly obtained. This is what this series of letters are
concerned with. The Rev. John Waugh had married Restitute
Whetstone and Matthew Steele without a proper license.
In 1674 John Waugh and Elizabeth, his wife, of Stafford County,
made a deed to Nathaniel Garland, Joyner.
During the turmoil in England accompanying the accession of
William of Orange, the Protestants were frightened lest the
Roman Catholic Religion might be established in England. In
Virginia absurd rumors were circulated of terrible plots of the
Roman Catholics of Maryland and the Indians. The County of
Stafford was inflamed by the haranges of John Waugh, and three
councilors were dispatched to allay the commotion. He died in
1706, Leaving a widow, Christian Waugh, who later married John
Hawkins, and four sons. They were Joseph, John, Alexander and
David Waugh. The loss of records breaks the descent but it is
evident that John Waugh had a son named William who married
Margaret Tyler, daughter of John Tyler, of King George County,
Va.
They had issue: Tyler Waugh, Priscilla, Thomas, And William.
Tyler Waugh , born 29 February 1739 had Priscilla, Thomas,
Million, William and George.
