Rev. John Waugh used his position to spread rumors that the Native Americans in Maryland were conspiring with the Catholics to kill the Anglicans. He claimed that the Brent family in Stafford County was part of the conspiracy. ... Ultimately the colonial government in Jamestown arrested Waugh and two other agitators, ending what could have grown into a full-scale insurrection. They were forced to go in front of the General Court in Jamestown, deny their previous claims, and ask for forgiveness for disrupting the peace. The court imposed no other punishment.7 Parson Waugh returned to Overwharton Parish, which had been named for his home.

From http://genealogytrails.com/vir/stafford/aquia_church_history.html

The first minister of whom there is record was the Rev. John Waugh. It is not improbable that he was the original rector of Stafford county, though he is first brought to notice in 1680.
There were then two parishes in the county Stafford and Chotanck. Mr. Waugh seems to have been a man of great strength of character, as well as of personal influence with his people. It is noted that on March 11, 1692, there being difficulty in getting some to take charge of the ferry over Potomac Creek, he contracted to do it himself. He is said also to have been wise in temporal affairs, having patented and purchased considerable land, and he died, leaving a large estate. His descendants were prominent in county affairs in the early days, but the name has passed from the county, other sections having doubtless claimed those bearing it.
During his rectorship there was much fear of the aggression and domination of Romanism, James II being upon the English throne, and his views being pronounced in favor of breaking down the principles of Protestantism. It is said that Mr. Waugh was very energetic in keeping this danger before the people, and great excitement was created, and from his addresses and methods of agitation employed by others, a very serious state of affairs was threatened. Mr. Nicholas Spencer, of Cople, Westmoreland, then Secretary of State in Virginia, stated that a rebellion as great as that led by Bacon was imminent. Happily, all of this was adjusted. William and Mary replacing James, peace and Protestantism reigned once more.
