Note	LITCHFIELD: Joseph came with his father to South Farms, Litchfield, CT about 1745. He served in the French and Indian Wars 18 April 1756 to 9 Aug. 1756 and in Aug. 1757. He built a home in South Farms (now Morris) about 1756, which was also a tavern. After his wife died in 1777 he sold the family home to Timothy Foot in 1789 and took the family west. They lived in Cumberland Col. PA near Carlisle and then moved to Washington County, PA where his son Joseph Jr. purchased his farm on the Monongahela River. Joseph is said to have died in 1819, making him 93 years old, perhaps in Ross County Ohio where Joseph Jr. had moved before 1800. (Litchfield Town Records lists this family; the biography was written in "A Waugh Family History," Compiled by Patricia Lee (Russ) Waugh, FHL 929.273 W357 wp, p. 10.) LITCHFIELD LAND RECORDS: "I Joseph Waugh of Litchfield...for the consideration of 150 pounds...received of Timothy Foot of said Litchfield, do sell...two certain pieces of land lying in said Litchfield, one piece bounded as follows, viz on the S and W by highway, and on E by Nathan Smedley's land and on N by the Wambury Swamp ...8 acres of land with a dwelling house and barn...The other piece lying west of my dwelling house...bounded on the N by Judson Gitteau's, S by Benjm Throop's land, Alex Waugh, Robert Waugh, & Thomas Waugh's land...47 acres..." 17 Jan. 1789. BETHLEHEM: The Waughs were consistently named as neighbors to Thomas and John Porter, but lived in Litchfield. However Elizabeth was received into the Bethlehem Church in 1759: "Elizabeth Waugh received as a communicant May 1759." (Bethlehem Congregational Church Records, FHL 3803, Vol. 1.) PENNSYLVANIA On a list of proprietors in the township of Judea a few miles from Wyoming Co. Penn in 1772: Thomas Porter, James Frisbie and Joseph Waugh. History of Wyoming in a series of letters by Charles Miner, p. 167. (see also http://books.google.com/books?id=JmSNfAkqhs8C&pg=PA167&dq=james+frisbie+wyoming+pennsylvania#PPA167,M1) In 1775 Col. Plunkett destroyed this little village forever, imprisoned the men in Sunbury Jail, and sent the women and children to their relatives nearby. In 1789 Joseph Jr. stated his father sold his property in Litchfield and started west, stopping in Cumberland County, PA for a while. By 1791 they were in Washington County PA where Joseph Jr. married. "A Waugh Family History," Compiled by Patricia Lee (Russ) Waugh, FHL 929.273 W357 wp, p. 14.) OHIO Joseph Jr. later moved to Buckskin, Ross, Ohio where he and his wife are buried at Waugh Hill Cemetery located on Waugh Road. However, there is no burial record for his father Joseph Sr.
