[28] In Virginia recurrent English fears of Catholic
domination were reflected at this time in hysterical rumors
that the Roman Catholics of Maryland were plotting to stir up
the Indians against Virginia. In Stafford County these
suspicions were inflamed by the harangues of Parson John
Waugh, minister of Stafford Parish church and Chotank church.
Waugh, who seems to have been a rabble rouser, appealed to
the same small landholders and malcontents as those who, a
generation earlier, had followed Nathaniel Bacon's
leadership. So seriously did the authorities at Jamestown
regard the disturbance at Stafford courthouse that they sent
three councillors to investigate. See "Notes," _William &
Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine_ (Richmond, 1907),
