I have been researching for a number of years. I have found a marriage certificate for Solomon and Nancy Black dated 1757 stating Solomon's date of birth as 1745. I also have found a certificate dated 27 Jan 1757 to Mary Ann Emory. Do you have any information that could straighten this out.

Go to a regular publisher to get your book printed that you collected from everybody under the sun. Now you want to collect another 10,000 names and print another book for $95.00 afte your relatives do all the work for you. False advertising is against the law!

I don't know about your Henry Waggoner family, but if I were you I might research the Waggoner family around Tazewell Co., Virginia, adjacent to Russell Co. The original Adam Waggoner was on New River by the 1760s - not far from Russell and Tazewell Counties - which might just possibly indicate he could be a relative of your Henry Waggoner - perhaps a brother??? Here are another couple of names to notice: Elias Waggoner, George Waggoner, from the early Waggoners. Good luck. Kay Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I'm his 5th great-grandson. Henry Waggoner I resided in Russell County, Virginia. It is unknown if he was born in Virginia or was possibly an immigrant. I think he may be one of the three Waggoner brothers from Germany in the family story that has been handed down over the generations, but have no proof. I know Henry Waggoner I served in Captain Doak's Fincastle Militia, Augusta Co,,VA in 1774. I know Feb. 6, 1775 Henry Waggoner, I. obtained a survey under the Loyal Company for 476 acres in Wythe Co. Virginia. Henry Waggoner I. died, at age 74, in Russell Co., Virginia in about 1809. Henry was probably living with one of his children, possibly a married daughter. I know about the lawsuit Sept. 8, 1809 Stealey vs. Waggoner-O.S. 192; N.S.68 and his heirs. I only have descendants of three of his ten children. I know nothing of Lewis Waggoner, Lindsey Waggoner, Catherine Waggoner, Barbara Waggoner, Margaret Waggoner, Susannah Waggoner or John Waggoner In all my years of searching I have never found any living relatives that descend from these children. I have five different Waggoner family lines in my database of over 9,500 names. I am almost certain at least one of those family lines ties directly back into one of Henry Waggoner I's children and I just don't know it yet. . I am looking for the descendants of Henry's children, Lewis Waggoner, Lindsey Waggoner, Catherine Waggoner, Barbara Waggoner, Margaret Waggoner, Susannah Waggoner and John Waggoner. Any and all information is greatly appreciated. Thank You Cully Waggoner Descendants of Henry Waggoner I 1 Henry Waggoner I Male b: Bet. 1730 - 1735 d: Bet. 1805 - 1809 in Russell Co., Virginia ..
