Note: Samuel Wauchope was most likely born in about 1692 or 1698 and was probably from Strabane, Ulster (south of Londonderry). As tradition holds, three Wauchope brothers from Scotland who served in Cromwell's army settled in the area in the mid 1600's.
Samuel would most likely have been one of their grandsons then. Another tradition holds he was born in Scotland. Either way, he may well be a descendant of the Wauchopes of Niddrie. He is said to be buried near Lexington, Virginia, having died at about age 90. He had supposedly moved near his youngest son Arthur. His wife, Nancy Agnes Alexander, was said to be of French Huguenot stock and born in about 1702. She either was from Carrick-Fergus and/or they left from there in 1724 or 1727.

Death: 1788 Lexington, Rockbridge Co., VA
