General Notes: Husband - William Waugh

---

He was among the early if not the earliest farmers in the Marsh Creek Settlement.

Archibald Beard executed a bond to William Waugh, dated May 19, 1753, conditioned for the conveyance of 300 acres. of land, "part of a tract in Carroll's Delight which said Archibald and partners bought from Charles Carroll." The purchase price that Waugh agreed to pay was twenty-two pounds ten shillings, sterling, per hundred acres, making in round numbers $330\emdash for the plantation. No deed appears to have been executed in Mr. Beard's lifetime. William Waugh, Sr., assigned the bond to William Waugh, Jr., March 4, 1770, and the elder Waugh executed a deed to his son, March 21, 1770, for the land. This deed contained a recital charging that William Rush "did in a fraudulent and clandestine manner obtain from Charles Carroll, Esq., of Annapolis, a deed for part of said land adjoining his own (Rush's) plantation, notwithstanding all said land was purchased long before of said Charles Carroll by Archibald Beard & Co., and notwithstanding said land was in my quiet possession many years before said William Rush obtained a deed for it, as above mentioned." The Waugh title was held to be valid and the family of William Waugh, Jr., lived on the land for many years afterward.
