178 A Bridge To The Past 
     
    
   
   
    
     wool. Whether Laughlin Maclnnis and his family lived here after leaving 
     
     the present Huestis property we do not know. It seems likely that Sarah liv- 
     
     ed here with other family members, but the facts elude us. Older residents 
     
     can add to the story only this comment: “I remember being told when I was 
     
     little that some elderly people lived there.” In like manner do the clues to 
     
     much of our past slip irretrievably away, to lie, beyond the grasp of the 
     
     historian, behind the thick veil of years. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The next homes we pass, to the east of the MacLean home, in Lot 19, 
     
     are the homes of Audrey B. Waugh and Brian Waugh. This property is part 
     
     of the two hundred-and-fifty acre portion which James Waugh, the 
     
     Loyalist, received in 1784, along with his fifty—acre strip at the mouth of the 
     
     Wilmot River. It appears that a fifty-acre strip on the west of the present 
     
     Waugh farm was sold, perhaps firstly to Harold Craswell, and a fifty-acre 
     
     strip on the east was sold to James Connell. The first person to have settled 
     
     on the present farm was John Waugh.

     John Waugh (July, 1836-N0vember, 1917) was the son of Alexander 
     
     and Eleanor (Hall) Waugh of Read‘s Corner. John Cleared the present-day 
     
     Waugh farm, living on it as a bachelor. His mother and a girl named Mary 
     
     Waugh lived with him in 1881 and possibly prior to that date. John married 
     
     Eliza Ann Boulter, daughter of John Foy Boulter and Sarah (Large) Boulter
