Descendants

There is some confusion as the parentage of Lee Waugh. We know his father was Robert from marriage records. There was a Robert who was a farmer and another Robert who was a boot maker. I think they are two difference people who both had sons named Lee. In 1880 Lee is listed as a son in the home of the boot maker and was single. Also in 1880 Lee is listed with his wife in a neighboring community. They were married in 1874, so they had been married already for six years before the census was taken. They must be different people. Selvaggio-84 14:51, 27 August 2017 (EDT)

Robert Waugh is a part of US Black heritage.
