  1. Do you happen to have any additional information on Ambrose's parents? I suspect it was Jason and Abigail (Rodick) Wasgatt, but am looking for additional documentation/records to support. Thanks.

  2. I don't have sourced information, sorry, but I did see on Family Search that he may be the Ambrose that served in the Civil War, so you might find something from researching in that area. As you probably already know, sadly, the marriage record on Family Search implies that the info on the parents wasn't filled in. He was alive at the time of the 1930 Census, at age 83. Maybe you can research the local papers for an obituary. If you happen upon something, I'd appreciate hearing from you so I can edit the post for the benefit of others that might happen by. Thanks for commenting!
