    3. ----- Original Message ----- From: <NSchear@aol.com> > Attention Celia and Vaughn - Does anybody know what year of the census > Hannah F. was found living with Jacob and Mary? Kathy, Hannah Frances is not listed in Rockbridge census with Jacob and Mary (Day) Agner: Jacob 5 AGNER, Jr., (Jacob 4 , John 3 , Ludwig 2 , Johannes 1 ), born c1813. He married 21 January 1838, Mary "Polly" DAY, Rev. Wm. M. Cunningham officiating. Polly was born c1817. She was a daughter of Thomas Day. Jacob was a cooper by trade. Jacob began to show in the Rockbridge County, VA personal Property Tax Lists in 1836. In 1840, Jacob's household consisted of one male under age 5; one male aged 20-30; one female aged 20-30. By 1850, Jacob and Mary were found living in the northern section of Rockbridge County, VA with their children Joseph, Elizabeth and Sodonia. Their daughter Mary was not found in their household. She was living with her Agner grandparents in 1850. In 1870, a Jacob Agner appears in Clay Township of Ritchie County, WV. Jacob and Polly had at least the following children: i. Joseph 6 AGNER, born c1839, died 15 December 1862, killed in battle at Fredericksburg, VA.96 CSA. ii. Elizabeth 6 AGNER, born c1842. iii. Sordonia 6 P. AGNER, born c1845. iv. Mary 6 AGNER born c1843. She lived with her grandparents in 1850. Mary was devised $30.00 in her grandfather, Jacob Agner's, last will and testament. v. William 6 AGNER born c1853. vi. Jacob 6 AGNER, born 15 April 1855. As you can see from the approx. birth years there are gaps. Notice too that the 1860 census has not been accounted for. Perhaps that census would provide more clues. ---Celia :o)
