As we recall, and as you pointed out, there was a prominent Hagaman family in Brighton town. http://www3.libraryweb.org/lh.aspx?id=953&ekmensel=c57dfa7b_12_148_953_3 There are numerous Hagaman's listed in the 1818-1897 newspaper index: http://www3.libraryweb.org/lh.aspx?id=963&ekmensel=c57dfa7b_12_38_963_9 You may also want to try the online census indexes for the state census at the www.familysearch.org web site from the LDS church. And, as you probably already know, the name is sometimes rendered as Hagerman. Go figure. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
