Hi Thelma! I found more information on that Waddell/Rausch connection
I told you about last week. Here's what I have, you might find it
interesting and be able to use it at a later date - it is from a small
book entitled: Military Service of Nine Brothers in the Cause of
American Independence

"Alexander Waddell was born in or near Glasgo, Scotland, in February
1732, came to America 1755. Tradition says he came as a soldier with
Gen. Braddock, served in the French and Indian War, later went to the
Southern part of the Shenandoah Valley, from which he served in the
Revolutionary War. In 1771 he married Eleanor Rousch (Rausch), a
sister to the nine Roush brothers who served in the War for
Independence. He is known to have lived in Stauton, Augusta Co., V. He
and his brother-in-law fought in the battle of Point Pleasant - 1774.
About the beginning of the century he and his wife Eleanor Roush, and
family came to Gallia County (Ohio). He died at the age of 102,
September 6, 1834.........They had ten children, all but one attained
adulthood.
