This last section is 19 large, A3 size handwritten sheets, that were produced by Ruth Waugh (the great grand daughter of Alexander Waugh DD 1754 - 1827) in 1916.
The notes were added to by Edith Mary (May) White, the great granddaughter of William (the one we have referred to as “Wealthy William”) 1788–1866 and Ann's Harvey. May White was 104 in 1996.
Take your time and study them (they do take an effort) but they are decipherable. The starting point is to work out your relationship to Thomas Waugh 1706 and then you can try to follow the relationship of others in the sheets or their descendants you may know. These sheets provide a valuable research tool for anyone tracing a line of the Waugh family.
