The name Loch Mhabain is possibly a corruption of Loch Mhaol Bheinn ("Lake on the bare mountain"), or may mean "Loch of Mabon", an ancient Brythonic god, as the Roman name of the area was Locus Maponi, according to the Ravenna Cosmography. It has been inhabited since earliest times due to its strategic position on the routes from England to Scotland and Ireland, to the small lochs surrounding it and to the relatively fertile soil in the area. The first inhabitants may have lived in crannogs in the lochs. After the Roman departure the area around Dumfries the locale had various forms of visit by Picts, Saxons, Scots and Danes culminating in a decisive victory for Giric mac D?gail (Modern Gaelic: Griogair mac Dhunghail, known in English simply as Giric, and nicknamed Mac Rath, ("Son of Fortune") was a king of the Picts or the king of Alba at what is now Lochmaben over the native Britons in 890. - from Wikipedia
While researching the Waugh Family we originally came to the conclusion (based on the best available "evidence" during our early work) that the Robert Waugh born in Ewes in 1784 was one of our direct ancestors. After many years and subsequent research new information came to light that led us to believe differently (a memorial inscription had been incorrectly transcribed) and that "our" Robert Waugh was the Robert Waugh born in Lochmaben in about 1784. We have left this earlier information online in the event anyone is researching the Waughs of Ewes... Robert Waugh and Jean Rule had at least eight children: William (born Feb 15, 1778); ROBERT (born about 1784); Jessie (born about 1784); John (born May 23, 1788); James (born Jan 17, 1791); Charles (born Oct 7, 1793); Mary; and Jane.
RCAHMS Archaeological Notes for Priestdykes | RCAHMS Archaeological Notes for Halleaths
The Statutory Register for Charles' death indicates that both he and Robert Waugh (his father) were joiners (carpenters). - from Scotland's People
* Note: There were a few other Robert Waughs. Robert Waugh and Elizabeth Wilson* (born about 1785, in Holmhead, Lochmaben, Dumfriesshire) had a son named George born June 16, 1807, in Lochmaben.
However, we believe that this Robert (a "joiner" or carpenter) married Isobel Bell on March 20, 1807, in Lochmaben, and they had at least eight children: William (born June 15, 1807, in Lochmaben), John (born Oct 22, 1809, in Lochmaben), Mary Waugh (born Nov 8, 1812, in Shilling hill (?) Dryfesdale), Jean (born March 22, 1816, in Turnmuir (?) Dryfesdale); Jessie (born June 6, 1819, in Lockerby, Dryfesdale); Agnes (born Oct 6, 1821, in Moffat); Robert (born Aug 1, 1824, in Moffat); and Isabella (born about 1831). On William's OPR it states, "William, son to Robert Waugh Junior & Isobell Bell in Lochmaben..." On some of the other OPR births to Robert and Isobel Robert's occupation is listed as "joiner". See Robert Waugh & Isobel Bell * Elizabeth Wilson married Cornelius Daley (born c 1765 in Ireland, and of the Parish of St. Mungo) on Jan 13, 1809 in Lochmaben. They had two children: William Daley (b. Sept 9, 1809, in St. Mungo, d. ) and John Daley (b. July 4, 1810, d. Dec 14, 1884) in Lochmaben. William Daley married Mary Ann Graham on March 18, 1834, in St. Mungo. John Daley married Janet Ross on March 12, 1837. Cornelius Daley died of "old age" on Sept 11, 1865, in Lochmaben, at the age of 100 years, and is buried in the Lochmaben Cemetery. William Daley died on Nov 27, 1882, in Provo, Utah, at the age of 73. John Daley died on Dec 14, 1884, at the age of 74. Elizabeth Wilson died between the 1841 and 1851 Scotland Census. He and "Mary" Wilson were living in Hightae, Lochmaben in 1841 and only Cornelius was living there as a "widower" in 1851. John Dally (sawyer) and Janet Ross were living on Back Street in Lochmaben in the 1861 Census with children Matthew (16) and Mary Jane (12).
John Rogerson Waugh & Agnes Rennie George Waugh (of the Parish of Dryfesdale) and Isabella Barclay were married on March 29, 1833, in Annan. Isabella's father was William Barclay (no additional information available). George Waugh and Isabella Barclay had six children: John Rogerson Waugh (born Aug 1, 1833, in Lairdholm, Tundergarth), William Waugh (born Aug 18, 1835, at Laverockhall on the Springkell Estate in Kirkpatrick-Fleming), George Waugh (born 1838 in Middlebie), Elizabeth Waugh (born 1841 in Middlebie), Andrew Waugh (born 1843 in Middlebie), and Margaret Waugh (born 1848 in Middlebie).
In the 1841, 1851, 1861 and 1871 Scottish census', George Waugh's occupation was listed as "mole catcher" in the Middlebie area and in Cambusnethan. In the 1851 Census for Dumfriesshire there were 76 mole catchers recorded. As a molecatcher, George Waugh would have traveled from farm to farm conducting his business.

The Ploughman's Life As I was a-wand'ring ae morning in spring, I heard a young ploughman sae sweetly to sing; And as he was singin', thir words he did say,? There's nae life like the ploughman's in the month o' sweet May. The lav'rock in the morning she'll rise frae her nest, And mount i' the air wi' the dew on her breast, And wi' the merry ploughman she'll whistle and sing, And at night she'll return to her nest back again. - Robbie Burns William Waugh married Alison Lindsay on November 29, 1861 at Blackhall Cottage, Cambusnethan. John Rogerson Waugh and Agnes Rennie were living at Darngavel (just south of Blackhall Cottage) when William and Alison were married.

S.S. Gallia
Transatlantic passenger liner, Cunard Line 'Gallia' was built in 1879 by J&G Thomson of Clydebank. She and her slightly smaller and less powerful sisters, 'Bothnia' and 'Scythia', were an enlarged and improved 'Abyssinia' (1870) class. They were among the last iron ships built for their owner. Indeed, 'Gallia' was the last ship built for the British and North American Royal Mail Steam Packet Company before it officially became the Cunard Steamship Company. She was very successful. She had a wide cruising range and could carry 300 first class passengers in luxurious two-berth cabins modelled on the White Star and Inman liners. She could also carry 1200 steerage passengers and 2,000 tons of cargo. 'Gallia' was rigged as a three-masted barque, and her captain used sail whenever possible. Two new features of the ship were an improved main saloon, which took up the full forty-two feet of the ship's width and steam steering gear. However, despite her improved accommodation, she was fitted with only two baths for the entire ship. 'Gallia' spent most of her career on the Cunard services between Liverpool and New York or Boston. In 1896 she was chartered by the Spanish Government to carry troops to Cuba. She sailed under the name 'Don Alvaro de Buzan'. In the following year she was sold to the Beaver Line Associated Steamers (D & C MacIver) for its service from Liverpool to Halifax and St John, New Brunswick. In 1898 the ship was transferred with the rest of the Beaver Line fleet to Elder Dempster but was not used by them. In 1900 she was sold to the Allan Line for its service to Quebec and Montreal. On her first voyage for her new owner she grounded near Sorel Point, near Quebec, on 4 May 1900. She was damaged beyond economic repair. She was later scrapped at Cherbourg. - from Merseyside Maritime Museum "We crossed to England, and then made the homeward passage in the Cunarder GALLIA, a very fine ship." - Mark Twain, A Tramp Abroad "The Gallia reached New York September 3, 1879. A report of his arrival, in the New York Sun, stated that Mark Twain had changed in his absence; that only his drawl seemed natural. His hat, as he stood on the deck of the incoming Cunarder, Gallia, was of the pattern that English officers wear in India, and his suit of clothes was such as a merchant might wear in his store. He looked older than when he went to Germany, and his hair has turned quite gray. It was a late hour when they were finally up to the dock, and Clemens, anxious to get through the Custom House, urged the inspector to accept his carefully prepared list of dutiable articles, without opening the baggage. But the official was dubious. Clemens argued eloquently, and a higher authority was consulted. Again Clemens stated his case and presented his arguments. A still higher chief of inspection was summoned, evidently from his bed. He listened sleepily to the preamble, then suddenly said: "Oh, chalk his baggage, of course! Don't you know it's Mark Twain and that he'll talk all night?" - from Mark Twain, a Biography, Volume II, Part 1 "... And that was the course of life in the " Gallia." A flying-fish, a petrel, a porpoise, the glinting of a sail, the smoke of a steamer, became a subject for general conversation, if not an object of universal attraction; and when porpoises or flying-fish came close in shoals, and the " sails " were near, and the steamer's number, or better still, her name, could be read, why, there was quite enough of incident to carry one through the not very long intervals which divided the times for eating and drinking." - from William Howard Russell, Hesperothen: notes from the West, 1882 "... During said gale, imagine us seated on the floor of the deck saloon, clutching frantically anything within reach, that we could hold on to for safety. Some time during the gale, some gentlemen near by were discussing the storm. I do not pretend to remember all they said, or to give any detailed account of their conversation, but two or three sentences penetrated my confused head, memory and heart, and stayed there. 'Will she stand this ?' 'Can she live in such a sea .' 'As she is a Cunarder, I say Yes. If she had been a White Star, I should doubt it. The Cunard always slacken speed in a storm. They never rush headlong into a gale like this, at usual speed.' Memory does not serve me with other items of interest of that dreadful day and night, during which the Gallia seemed to be tossed about on the billows, like the large footballs I saw the young men kicking about on the tennis grounds in York and Darlington." - from Life and Letters of Elizabeth L. Comstock on a voyage aboard the Gallia in 1884
Built by J. & G. Thomson Limited, Glasgow, Scotland, 1878. 4,809 gross tons; 430 (bp) feet long; 44 feet wide. Compound engine, single screw. Service speed 13 knots. 1,400 passengers (300 first class, 1,100 third class).One funnel, three masts, barque rigged for sail. Built for Cunard Line, British flag, in 1878 and named Gallia. Liverpool-New York service. Chartered by Compania Transatlantica Line, Spanish flag, in 1896 and renamed Don Alvaro Bazan. Reverted to Cunard later in same year. Stranded in 1899 near Sorel Point, Quebec; later salvaged. Scrapped in Cherbourg, Quebec, Canada in 1900.
