According to John Waugh's obituary, he served in the militia during the Rebellions of 1837.

Battle of Montgomery's farm, Upper Canada, Dec 7, 1837

The rebellions started in Lower and Upper Canada. The Lower Canada Rebellion was a larger and more sustained conflict by French Canadian and English Canadian rebels against British colonial government. The Upper Canada Rebellion was an abortive uprising in Upper Canada against Upper Canada oligarchy, the Family Compact, followed by a series of raids, skirmishes, and other small actions over the next year, many of them launched from the United States. The Battle of Saint-Eustache, Lower Canada. The rebellion in Lower Canada began first, in November 1837, and was led by many leaders such as Wolfred Nelson, Louis-Joseph Papineau, and Edmund Bailey O'Callaghan. The Lower-Canada rebellion probably inspired the much shorter rebellion in Upper Canada led by William Lyon Mackenzie in December. In addition, there were other grievances in Upper Canada. Settlers resented the gifts of land and official status to the Anglican Church to the exclusion of Roman Catholics, Methodists, and other religions. In addition, there were tensions caused by mass immigration from the United States, particularly in the western areas. While the initial rebellion in Upper Canada ended quickly with the Battle of Montgomery's Tavern, many of the rebels (including Mackenzie) fled to the United States. They used it as a base for launching further raids into Canada, in cooperation with American Hunters' Lodges. The raids did not end until the rebels and Hunters were defeated at the decisive Battle of the Windmill, nearly a year after the first defeat near Montgomery's Tavern. - from Wikipedia

May 19, 1855, At the residence of the Rev. Edward Bates, Bishop's Itchington, Warwickshire, John Waugh, esq. M.D. of Leamington Spa
From The Gentleman's magazine and historical review, Volume 198

Robert's son William Waugh and his family emigrated to the USA aboard the S/Y William Tapscott arriving into Castle Garden, New York, on Feb 16, 1856. - from castlegarden.org / Candy Weatherby

 

William Waugh (the one born in Lochmaben, Dumfries, in about 1807), was employed in Hawick as a foreman at Dickinson & Laings, a tweed manufacturing mill.  He and his wife, Marian, his son, Robert, Robert's wife, Agnes, and his daughter Janet (Jessie on the transcript), a yarn spinner, his son, John, and his daughter Mary, and his son William, emigrated to Canada aboard the Willliam Tapscott, sailing from Liverpool to New York, USA, arriving on Feb 16, 1856, at Castle Garden. Contemporaneous records of Mormon travelers arriving on the same time span, show the following about the voyage.  The Wm. Tapscott was a wooden sailing vessel which carried a crew of 19 and 800 passengers.  The ship was 195 feet long, 41.3 feet in the beam, and 20.7 feet from the deck to the keel (it was a three decker, so each deck would be less than 8' apart).  It seems to have been a one-class ship,, with passage being 5 pounds sterling.  Passengers had cook their own rations, issued at the beginning of the voyage.  These consisted of the following (per adult) l lb. each pork and flour, 3/12 lbs ship's biscuit, 1-1/2 lbs each oatmeal, beef, rice and peas, 1 lb. potatoes, 1 lb sugar, 2 oz each tea and salt 1/2 oz each mustard and pepper and 1 gill (4 fl. oz) vinegar (for scurvy, as the peas were probably dried and the beef and pork were undoubtedly salt pork and salt beef, rather than fresh).  Each adult was issued 3 quarts of water daily, to be used for cooking , drinking, dishwashing and bathing (must have been precious little bathing).  After the voyage (30-42 days, depending on weather), the ship arrived at Castle Garden, predecessor to Ellis Island.  There it remained in quarantine (if contagion was found).  The Mormon settlers went to Utah via Canada and it is assumed the Waugh family took the same route as they stated their destination was "Canada West."  This mean to ride on a boat (by 1859 this would have been steam - previously maybe sail), up the Hudson River to Albany New York, then a train ride to Niagara, crossing into Canada to Windsor, Ontario.  William Waugh is shown in the 1861 personal census of Galt (enumeration district 5) as residing at Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, being a 53 year old weaver born in Scotland.  He was widowed and living with his daughter, Jannett, who was keeping house.  They lived in a two story frame house they shared with three other families.  Records of Hamilton Cemetery show William Waugh purchased Lot 4 of Section C-6 on September 27, 1858.  His wife was buried there at that time (no first name given) and he died in April, 1866, and was also buried in that cemetery.  Family lore has it that William's was the first Masonic funeral in Ontario, but I have been unable to confirm this. - Candy Weatherby

The house still standing at 250 James Street South was one of his early designs. His larger buildings were of the Romanesque style, revived around 1870 by Henry Hobson Richardson of the United States. Balfour was also successful outside of Hamilton. In 1878-1882 designed and oversaw construction of an all-girl school, Alma College, in St. Thomas Ontario.

OBITUARY John Waugh Dec 29, 1886, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada Mr. John Waugh died at his home, No. 78 Bay street north, last evening. Four years ago he suffered a paralytic stroke, and for the past two years he was a confirmed invalid. His death was peaceful and painless. Mr. Waugh was a native of Lochmachen [sic-Lochmaben?], Dumfrieshire, Scotland, where he was born 77 years ago. He came to Canada with his young wife in 1834, and lived in Montreal for three years. Then the little family came up the country and arrived in Hamilton. The rebellion was then in progress, and Mr. Waugh enlisted as a volunteer in the militia, and did his share towards putting down the rebellion. Ever since that time Mr. Waugh lived in Hamilton -that is for nearly half a century. He was a contractor and builder, and many of the fine substantial buildings which adorn Hamilton to-day were erected by him many years ago. He was always very strongly interested in church matters, and he and about a dozen others used to worship God together in the Presbyterian style, in a little log school-house that stood where the Central Presbyterian church stands. There are only two persons living now, who formed part of this little band which was the nucleus of one of the largest congregations in the city: these two are Mr. James Henderson and Mrs. Lees. The present Central Presbyterian church was built by Mr. Waugh. For many years he was a member and one of the managers of the church; but when Rev. Mr. Laidlaw came here, Mr. Waugh became a member of St. Paul's. Mr. Waugh's wife survives him, and there are also living four sons and one daughter. His two sisters, Mrs. Peter Balfour [Agnes] and Mrs. Alex Campbell [Jannet], live in Hamilton. Mr. Waugh was a Reformer in politics, and a consistent one. He was small in stature, but had a big heart, and in all business affairs was the soul of honor. His memory will be tenderly cherished by many old friends. - from Donald Norris
