Dear Doris, We may or may not be connected. We could never figure out why Engelhart Wagoner came into PA, prob. married there, had one son bapt. in Lancaster Co. and then went up to Montgomery Co. NY. There is another Waggoner family there that came over earlier, about 1708 with the Palatines into Hudson River area to settle. Then they all moved to Montgomery Co. NY. We figure there must be some connection between the two families back in Germany. From Lancaster Co. up to NY is not a usual migration route for Germans. hey tended to stay in PA and then move west later. Of course, Wagoner just means a person who hauls stuff, like a trucker today or it can mean a person who makes wagons. So there are lots of unrelated Wagoners. I am a teacher and I'm up to my ears finishing up my school year. I'll look up more Wagoner stuff in a couple of weeks and get back to you.
