Hi Listers, I am new to the list and have just recently received info to connect me with a couple of families that spent betwen 20 and 30 years there in the late 1700s and early 1800s. Those I am trying to gather info on are as follows: WAGONNER/WAGONER; John (the father), John (the son) Nope, no Holy Spirit, William and Peter. I found an early Peter WAGGONER on the 1790 census and this could be a brother or father to John, Sr.. John's wife is unknown. There may have been at least 2 daughter in the family also according to several of the Census records. The second Family is SPENCER; James was the father, the sons were William, Zechariah, Elisha, and Israel. One daughter Elizabeth is known, she married William WAGGONER of above family. The wife of James was Rebecca, last name unknown. John WAGGONER, Sr. I think died between 1810 and 1820. Does Huntingdon County have a Will abstract book dating back that far? The WAGGONER/WAGONER boys went west into Eastern and Central Ohio where they all died. The SPENCER family also moved to Ohio or at least several of them did. We have James SPENCER and his wife Rebecca dying there in Morgan Co., Ohio. There was at least one daughter in the SPENCER family too ... maybe more ... she is unknown. It is also possible that John Waggoner was in the REV. War .... is there a pension listing for Huntingdon Co., As you can see if have very little info at this time pertaining to these families, so anything will be greatly appreciated. Another note: John WAGGONER married Nancy or Elizabeth CROSS, and Elisha SPENCER married and Elizabeth WAGGONER. Over the next several generations both of these families inter married with another Huntingdon Co., family and moved to Ohio at about the same time was the KEITH family. Thank You and looking forward to hearing from some of you........ Garry L. McLaughlin Satsuma, Florida

GARRY, I think we are working on the same line of Waggoners in Huntingdon County. I have Abraham Waggoner/Wagoner who married Charlotte Brown. His father was William Wagoner that married Mary (Nead?). I have the Will of William Wagoner so from there forward I have lots of proof. But, from there back, I have alot of notes and possible parents including your John. Below I will paste a genealogy report of what I have so far. I have not had time to check out notes and information that has been sent to me by others, but they are all included in the report below. If you have anything on paper/proof please let me know. I surely would appreciate it. Thanks, Kathy Wells. Descendants of John Wagoner? Generation No. 1 1. JOHN1 WAGONER? Notes for JOHN WAGONER?: NOTES; This information came from Dorothy Nead Angle. I have not checked it out yet. I will as time permits. If I prove that John is the father of William, I will drop the '?' after his name. a * denotes our direct ancestor The earliest Wagner tale is still in the process of finding, deliberating, and concluding results so everything is subject to change. It is only recently that I have considered Sophia Wagner of any interest ,other than that of a middle aged widow married to Christof (Stoffle ) Nead . He was my 2'nd generation early paternal immigrant. Recently, however I have been in touch by e-mail with Mike Apgar with whom I have concluded that Sophia Apgar Wagner , the widow who married Christof (Neid) Nead was most likely the mother of my maternal [ 6'th] great grandfather Wilhelm [William ] Wagner.>>>>> What a puzzle the early Wagner- Nead clans have presented to their children. IF that be so' the following is very likely our Wagner clan---_ from the country of Germany to the" new country, " America.,--up to the present day. Bear in mind that Wagner as is (Nead] is spelled several ways , even in the same family. Wagner.... / Waggoner..... / Wagoner...../Nead..../Niedt....../Neid...../Niethin 1) first generation.......Herr and Frau Wagner [given names unknown to date] parents of 10 children, at least some having been born in Germany, and later arriving in America.

Catherine Apgar, Sophia's only known sister, was m. in 1760 and her first child ,b.in 1761. perhaps the sister's married together, or were,as was suggested,twins. no date found for their marriage yet , but their first born ,Wilhelm , [William Wagner waas b. abt. 1761, too early for existing records . 4 - Cornelius b. abt. 1739 ..married Anna Elis.. b. abt. 1741 inNJ. 5 .

Perhaps an article on one of the early families of the Mohawk Valley will stimulate inquiry concerning others. My Grandmother Webster was a Wagner, and years ago, while living at Fort Plain, I talked with many old people and examined the church records at Stone Arabia concerning the Wagner family and others allied by marriage. Let me try to reduce my mass of memoranda to order and condense it. I shall give but a small part. Johan Peter Wagner was "born in Docken-hausen, in the county Brauback, in Hessen-Darmstad, 1687, the 4th of October," says the record. Braunsbach is in Wirtemburg -- he came from the Lower Palatinate. His wife was "Maria Margaretha Laucs, born in Ohren, St. Steiner Landes, 1686." In the Documentary History of New York, Vol. 3, page 569, is a "Statement of heads of Palaten families and number of Persons in both Towns on ye west side of Hudsons River," in which No. 21 (in a list of 82) is Peter Wagner. The tabulation indicates a wife, but no children. They were ten each 24 or 25 years old, assuming the identity of this Peter Wagner and my ancestor, which is altogether probable. They arrived in American in June, 1710. It was in the reign of Queen Anne, when many Germans were colonized by England on the Schoharie and on the Mohawk; "one strong motive being the better security of the province against Canadian aggressions." "It was deemed advisable to locate them where they could best produce for the home government, from pine trees, naval stores, such as turpentine and tar." The hardships and varied experiences of these immigrants are graphically given in the documents published by the state, and in the "Frontiersmen of New York," vol. 1. After being located on the Hudson several years, Wagner moved into the Schoharie Valley, where he seems to have lived some ten years. His seven children must have been born on the Hudson and in Schoharie, and perhaps one on the Mohawk. We may infer some of his experiences form the history of the Schoharie settlement by Mr. Simms. In 1722, Wagner and others bought land of the Indians in the Mohawk Valley. I have before me a copy of the "deed". It is signed by representatives of the Mohawks, Onondagas, Oneidas, Cayugas, and Secnecas. The date was 9th July, 1722. It conveys a tract "on both sides of the Mohagus river" for "about 24 English miles," and "with all the woodland Northerly and Southerly on the said meadowland, as far as the said Palatines or High Dutch men pleas to take," Containing about in acres we know not," "for a small consideration of payment"! No wonder the old Mohawk chief, Hendrick, complained of these Germans -- mentioning Wagner and several others by name -- as having taken up more land than they had paid for. A grant (of which I have copied the original) from George I to his "loving subjects John Conradt Weiser junior, Johannes Lawyer junior, and Peter Wagner", issued through Gov. William Burnet, is dated 8 July, 1725. By this they obtained 1637 acres on the south side of the Mohawk, north of the Otsequago and south of the Otsquene. See map in the Doc. History NY, vol. 1, page 774. The tract is marked "P. Waganaer." This was about half way between the Mohawk and Cherry Valley. When and how Wagner disposed of this I do not know. The same map shows a tract near the "Caroga" marked "Vogoner," and on that my ancestor settled. Stone Arabia was easterly from him; "Capt. Frey" was down the river; "Fox Mills," were on the Garoga; "Fort Harrison" was to the northwest; the "Canajoharrees" were on "Conowadaga creek" -- what is now Indian Castle -- and the names of Morris, Livingston, Colden, Bleecker, Cosby, etc., appear on the south side of the river. The date of the map I do not know, but it was after the founding of Cherry Valley; probably long after. That the pioneer Wagner and his wife lived to be at least 63 years old is proved by a record of their presence at the baptism of their first grandchild, Peter, November, 1750. When they died I don't know. Their graves had no markets, but they were probably near the grave of their son on the J. Harvey Smith farm. Their children were: 1) Anna Margaretha, born 15 April, 1712; married Heinrich Tillenbach. 2) Maria Catharina, born 18 August, 1714; married George Rosner (the o with an oomlaut). 3) Utilia, born 16 August, 1716; married Isaac Reit. 4) Catharina Elizabeth, born 10 September, 1718; married --- ---? 5) Maria Magdaline, born 4 January 1720; married Johan Fehling of Freysbush. I have the names of scores of descendants of Frs. Failing. Included are the names of Diefendorf, Weller, Wendell, Seeber, Nestell, Hawn, Abbot, etc. 6) Johan Peter, born 8 January, 1722. Of him I shall have more to say. 7) Maria Elizabeth, born 24 January, 1724; married Heinrich Saltzman. She was the grandmother of Peter I. Salsman, and the great-grandmother of Jacob H. I judge these marriages took place at and about Stone Arabia, and that the families continued there; except Mrs. Fehling. The pioneer's youngest child was probably born on the Mohawk. If any one can inform me authentically of any son of the first Wagner, besides Peter, or any brother of the pioneer, I shall be glad to learn. Friends interested have put questions concerning certain Wagners in Palatine and in Canada, apparently fo the same stock; questions which I have not been able to answer. In another article I shall speak of the pioneer's son, the second Johan Peter. W. P. Webster Riverside, Cal. Chapter II The only son (so far as I have ascertained) of Johan Peter Wagner, the pioneer, was a second Johan Peter born -- probably in Schoharie -- 8 January, 1722, which was not long before his father removed with his family to the Mohawk Valley. The old church record mentions the settlers from Schoharie as "Auff den Helleburg." The Wagner farm, if an uncleared forest can be so called; tract would be better; extended from the river toward Stone Arabia and I may indicate its location by saying that it included the old home of Daniel and Harvey Smith. In this wilderness home young Peter grew up. He was 16 years old when William Johnson (Sir William) came into the valley and settled down the river, in 1738. He was 18 when cherry Valley was founded in 1740. He was 20 when Thu-yen-dan-ega (Joseph Brant) was born. The Upper Castle of the Mohawks was but six or seven miles west or northwest of his home. He must have often seen Hendrick, and have been familiar with Oneidas and Cayugas as well as Mohawks. The piercing cry of the panther was frequently heard, and black bear and wolf, and deer and other game, abounded. The Mohawk and the Garoga were deeper than now, and transportation was largely by water. Harold Frederick's "In the Valley" gives us a graphic description of the conditions under which our ancestors lived. When 26 years old, Peter Wagner received a commission as second-lieutenant in Captain Barnt Wemp's company in the second battalion of the regiment of the county of Albany (Palatine was then in that county), which was under the command of (Sir) William Johnson. It was dated August 25, 1748, and signed by George Clinton, the colonial governor. What service young Wagner had seen before, we are not told. He doubtless served under Johnson in the French wars. Much may be inferred as to what he saw and experienced for years, from, e. g., Griffis's Life of Sir William. In the year 1750, Mr. Wagner married Barbara Elizabeth Dagstetter (now Dockstater), who lived on the Sand Flats, in the eastern part of the present Montgomery county. They had twelve children; the first born in '51 and the last born in '70, apparently. Of these more anon. Of the first Wagner, Mr. Hutchinson said, "About the year 1750 he built his residence -- the old stone dwelling (now standing and in a good state of preservation). It was quite similar in style to the well know houses of Frey, Ehle, Van Alstine, and Wormouth, which were erected about the same period." He elsewhere confounds the father and son, and I presume he has done so here. The first had built some sort of habitation 25 years earlier. The younger man was about 28 years old at this time. I quote Mr. Hutchinson further: "The Wagner house is said to be the oldest house now standing in the state of New York, west of Fort Plain. In early times, and during the wars, it was stockaded and known as Fort Wagner, and a blockhouse was said to have been situated some 50 feet southeasterly of the dwelling, some of the timbers of which are still in the barn buildings on the farms. And a part of the old foundation still remains." I have been in the stone house built by Colonel Wagner -- it is a part of the old home of J. Harvey Smith. A good photograph of it -- the gift of E. Dunbar Rich, of Utica -- is before me at this moment. In religion, all of the Wagners were Lutherans up to 1834, when Peter J. joined the Dutch church. Colonel Wagner and family were communicants at Stone Arabia. In 1770 the stone house of worship near the river (at Palatine Church) was erected. Says Hutchinson: "Henrich Nellis gave a deed of the land, the title being made to Colonel Peter Wagner, Andrew Reeber and John Eisenlord, church wardens, Jan 2, 2769; and Peter Wagner, Andrew Reeber and Christian Nellis, Jr., were bowmasters in charge of the erection of the church. Col. Wagner subscribed for that purpose 100 pounds, Mr. Reeber the same amount, and Mr. Nellis giving 50 pounds." In politics, the Wagners were Whigs. As the times that tried men's souls drew on, their patriotism was fervent. The old pioneers had evidently passed away. The second Wagner was prominent on the Committee of Safety, but as the "Frontiersmen of New York." "Life of Brant," and other works give the records of the meetings of the committee, I will save space here; nor will I more than mention that Wagner held the position of lieutenant-colonel of the second battalion from the Palatine District, Jacob Klock colonel, and that he fought bravely and conspicuously at Oriskany -- two of his sons, Peter (a second-lieutenant) and George being also in the battle. I have copies of a number of letters and other papers left by Col. Wagner; they have already been published, but I append three.

DEYGERT Major To Cols. Klock & Waggoner This article is intended to be suggestive, not exhaustive. Mr. Hutchinson says, "He was one of the grand jury at the first court of quarter sessions, under the new State government, held at Johnstown September 8, 1788, and represented his district as a member of assembly at the second, third and fourth sessions, in the years 1777, 1778, 1779, 1780, 1781." Said Peter G. Webster to me, speaking from tradition: "The colonel was a man of energy and power, imperious in manner, and yet highly respected and of great influence in his community. His occupation was farming. He possessed over 600 acres, and he had several white men at work and a number of Negro slaves." From the Stone Arabia records, I copy: "Year 1812, 1st July, died Barbara Waggener, aged 88 years, leaving as a widower Mr. Colonel Peter Waggener old man in his 92d year. She lived with the colonel 64 years, and was the mother of 12 children, viz 5 sons and 7 daughters -- one son and one daughter died before. Children's children she had 73, and great grandchildren 70. She died of old age and was buried on Friday, 3d July, 12 noon, on the Waggener family burying ground beside the house of col. Peter Waggener. The funeral sermon was preached in the stone church near the river. I Kings xix 4." Again: "Year 1813. On Sunday, the 23d of May, in the morning at 9 o'clock, died Johan Peter Wagener. Was born in year 1722, 8 of January. Was 91 years, 4 mos. and 19 days old. He was colonel in the war of Independence. He lived with his wife (that died 11 months ahead of him 1 of July, 1812) 64 years,and was the father of 12 children, vix 5 sons and 7 daughters. Of these tow children -- one son and one daughter -- died before him. Grandchildren 78, and great-grandchildren 74. The blessed dead died of old age and was 9 days on his sick bed. Was buried on Tuesday, the 25th of May, at 12 o'clock noon, in the Waggener's family burying ground, near the house of his son Col. Peter Waggener's. Lies beside his wife. Sermon was preached in the stone church near the river, on the text, Rev. 20, v. 12" The remains of this old couple and of their oldes son and his wife now repose in the Fort Plain cemetery. XII. Probably the youngest child of Colonel Wagner, 1722, was William, born Sept. 22, 1770. That is all I know about him. Children of WILLIAM WAGONER and MARY NEAD are: i. CATHERINE3 WAGONER, m. MR.

WILLIAM WAGONER, b. 1802, PA; m. HANNAH BAKER; b. April 22, 1805; d. January 08, 1862, Buried at Cromwell Cemetery, near Maddenville, Hunt Co. PA. Notes for WILLIAM WAGONER: PROOF: ------He is mentioned in his father's Will. He gets the land his father now lives on in 1834; and he gets his father's 8 day clock. NOTES; I believe he married Hannah the mother of Priscilla Baker who married his nephew Allison K. Wagoner (son of Abraham). Hannah disappeared on census at the same time William married a Hannah. He had never married before. They were both older and so they never had any children. He lived very close to his brother Abraham, his nephew Allison & Priscilla. CROMWELL CHURCH CEMETERY -----She is buried here. Located between the villages of Maddenville and Clear Ridge, west of State Route 475 near the Fulton/Huntingdon County line at the border between southern Springfield Township of Huntingdon County and northern Taylor Township of Fulton County. We can't figure out why she is buried in amongst a big family of Cromwells. It appears she was never married before she married William. Notes for HANNAH BAKER: NOTES: -------Her birthdate came from her cemetery marker; -------I believe Hannah Baker was not married when she had daughter Priscilla. I can not find that she had any other children. On her daughter Priscilla's death certificate it says mother is Hannah Baker, father unknown. Her daughter Priscilla married Allison Wagner. ------I believe Hannah Baker later married her son-in-law (Allison Wagner's) Uncle (William Wagner B.1802 brother to Abraham Wagoner and son of William Wagoner Sr).(see following information) ------1850 census, Clay Twp - Huntingdon co. PA pg 230 - Abraham Wagner 42, Charlotte 42, Allison Wagner was 11 in 1850 and his uncle, William Wagoner 48 (a stonemason) who was single, lived with them; Right next door is John Baker who I believe was Hannah's brother. John was b.1785 d.Jul 22, 1858 married to Hannah charlton b.178?, d. Jul 25, 1848. John Baker has a Rosanna Black living with him, probably a grandaughter. John's son was John C. Baker b.1816 d.1893 and is buried next to Allison Wagoner. He married Catherine J. McNerland. ------1860 census, Shirleysburg - Huntingdon co., PA, pg 147 - Allison Wagner 25, Priscilla 22, and living in the same household is his Uncle, William Wagoner 58 (a stonemason) and wife Hannah 55, he suddenly is married and had a wife named Hannah.....and, Hannah Baker disappeared at this time. I think she married the uncle, William Wagoner. 2 houses away is John MacNerline and wife Mary , most likely Allison's Aunt and William Wagoners sister Mary. Also is a Sarah Bergstresser (John Baker's son Jacob married a Bergstresser) ....too many familiar names. ------In the book titled "A history of the family of Nathan Baker"by Frederick J. McKENZIE on page 7 it does say that they think but are uncertain that Hannah b. 1805 was the daughter of Jacob Baker and Margaret ___. I do believe this is true. There are just too many close ties in the two families. ------1862, Jan 8, - buried in the Cromwell Church Cemetery, Located between the villages of Maddenville and Clear Ridge, west of State Route 475 near the Fulton/Huntingdon County line at the border between southern Springfield Township of Huntingdon County and northern Taylor Township of Fulton County. - Hannah, wife of Wm. Wagner born April 22, 1805, died Jan 8, 1862; No stone for Wm. Wagner. The rest of the graves are Cromwells...T.B. Cromwell and 2 of his children..... were the Cromwells related to her somehow??? Could T.B. Cromwell, the B. be Baker? Possibly Hannah's sister married a Cromwell and this is a son of the sister??? ------Dorothy Angle found in the Huntingdon Historical Library in the German Records, Penn Marriages prior to 1790....April 8, 1774 - Jacob Baker and Hannah Smith married; -------On the 1850 Fulton Co, Taylor Twp., pg 86 census where it lists Hannah Baker & daughter Priscilla, only 2 families away are a Mathias MORT. Hannah's sister Susan married a Jacob MORT.... On the next page is John C. Baker.....again too many familiar names for her not to be daughter of Jacob. ------When Priscilla said she was married at the home of her parents...she might have meant her mother and step father William Wagoner. It's probable that Hannah & William were already married by the time Priscilla and Allison married.....and they all live together in 1860 Generation No. 3 3.

He started with the Spring Campaign of 1864 in W. Virginia, fought the enemy at Lexington and Moorefield. re-organized near Chambersburg and was recruited for 3 year term. March 1, they proceeded to Martinsburg where it joined forces and proceeded to Cumberland. In April went to Pleasant Valley, MD where it received horses & equipment, receiving courses in drill & discipline, Finally in June they proceeded, by Col. Mulligan as an infantry unit, to Leetown to meet rebel Gen. Early. July 3rd they were attacked by a largely superior force but bravely stood their ground for 8 hours to give relief to the Union forces fighting at Martinsburg. On the 6th & 7th they engaged in skirmishes on Maryland Heights, then fought against Gen. Early again who was advancing towards Maryland to capture the National Capital. ------ On the 22nd they were finally outfitted as Cavalry, joined Gen. Torberts forces, who led the advance of Gen. Sheridan, who had just been put in command of entire army of the Shenandoah Valley. On Aug 20th they joined the attack and covered the retreat of Gen. Sheridan from Cedar Creek. They were in several other small battles. Aug. 25th at Charlestown they sustained considerable losses. They were again in several scattered battles and on Sept 18, Sheridan was now ready to move upon Early with all his forces combined. They charged the enemy at Martinsburg and pursued Early's retreating forces to Winchester. That evening the 22nd led by Maj. Troxell joined in the charge finally routing the enemy and sent them in flight, capturing a battery of 80 men. They continued to route the enemy all the way to Mount Vernon Forge. There in a fierce attack the 22nd took severe losses, and several were taken prisoners. Oct 19th at Cedar Creek again they had a number killed & wounded. They then rested until Dec. 20th after wards they were ordered throughout the remaining winter to clean out several counties which they did. They were constantly in the saddle and exposed to great hardships. April 1865 the remainder of the men whose terms had not expired, continued and consolidated with the 18th regt. forming the 3rd Provisional Cavalry. There they went throughout W. Virginia keeping civil order until they mustered out in Cumberland, MD on Oct 31st. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Garry L.
