I believe he is descended from Adam Wagstaff and Rachel Crowshaw, and possibly cousin to my 3X great grandfather, another Adam, born about 1783, who married Sarah Clay. Without going and checking it up on my tree that's about as specific as I can get right now! I think he was very lucky not to have been hanged for murder, but it makes for interesting tale when friends ask about tracing my family.

Don Welchadded this on 3 Aug 2008 From: donwelch11@comcast.net> To: bfwag@windstream.net> Sent: Saturday, July 26, 2008 10:42AM Subject: FW: The Wagstaff History Mrs. Bettye Bragg Wagstaff, My name is Don Welch of Las Cruces, NM. My 3rd Great-Grandparents are James Wagstaff and Mary Elizabeth Bigger (Biggers) through their son William W. Wagstaff and Caroline Williams. Mrs. Charlene Walker Brazell gave me your name and Email with the advice that you were a genealogist and very knowledgable about some of the early families in that area. Actually, I have run across your name a couple of times before in my research. The first was when I visited Mrs. Amy Walker and her son Maurice there in Sabine county in 1980, a good many years past. I was visiting several different family names there, and in Shelby and Panola counties. I did learn some about the Williams line from Amy and she did mention your name but said that your were not in my Wagstaff line. i hesitated to just walk up cold to your door and Maurice could not help to introduce me. I stayed for the day then drove up to visit Norman and Daphne Bass near Hemphill. Then some time back (lost track of when) , on the "king Family Tree", I saw an answer you had given Jackie King concerning the parents of Mary Aminta Wagstaff. Also, you said that Jame Wagstaff was buried at Paxton. James is the line I am working on. He had two brothers - William and Richard. Their father was Allen Wagstaff. Since James' son William W. and Richard's son Nicholas were 1st cousins, then I think your husband (Robert?) and I are about 5th cousins. I guess I am after any information you might have about James Wagstaff - one thing would be any info on his headstone. if you are a professional genealogist, I am willing to pay. A couple of years ago, a man names Dr. J. Van Wagstaff, NC answered a queary of mine with the result that he gave me names and histories of the Wagstaffs in Texas and beyond to Worcestershire, England from 1563. I had researched James for several years but could never bridge from him to the Wagstaffs in North Carolina. Van gave me the bridge. If this would be useful to you, I would be glad to give it. A long letter here - I apologize for the length. Got to talking and couldn't stop. Any, thanks - appreciate any help.

Monday, July 28, 2008 2:40:48 PM Hi Don I was really glad to get your email. I wish you had just knocked on my door "cold" about 1980. I would have enjoyed talking to you. Cjharlene flatters me to say that I am a genealogist! I guess I am a self taught family researcher. And I do not charge. I will be happy to share any info I have on the Wagstaff family. I have not done much research in the last four or five years because my husband had alzheimers and I took care of him until January of this year where I could not do it any more. he is now in a home where he is being taken care of. He will be 88 in Oct. About James Wagstaff's headstone. It is a fairly new flat headstone of granite with only his birthday on it - 1817. Mary Elizabeth does not have a headstone but I have been told she is buried there beside him. She was alive in 1900 because she appears on the census in the home of W.W. and Caroline. It states Mary Wagstaff, Mother, born July 1822, age 77, widowed, born in Missouri, both parents born in Tennessee. I have not been able to find James on the census since 1850. Many people in Shelby County did not appear on the 1860 census that we know were there. I have been told that James died about 1863 but have not been able to verify that. Do you know if he served in the Civil War. W.W. enlisted at Shelbyville on 2 April 1862, Pvt. 1st Texas Lancers. Col. Horace Randall commanding. I neglected to say that they are buried in the OLD HOME CEMETERY near Paxton. My husbands maternal grandparents are buried there as well as many other relatives. They have a homecomin! g every year and we have attended that several times. In the book, THE FIRST SETTLERS OF SHELBY AND HARRISON COUNTY, TEXAS, it states on page 25 that James Wagstaff received 6450 acres of land in Shelby County in Feb 1838 so we know he was there by 1838 and probably a little earlier. You had to apply for the land in person. Robert's grandfather, Nicholas R. Wagstaff, married Mary Elizabeth Hutto, dau of George Solomon Hutto and Fannie Oates. James J. Wagstaff married Eliza Jane Hutto, the sister of Mary Elizabeth Hutto Wagstaff. Then after Fannie Oates Hutto died, George Solomon married Mary Arminta Wagstaff, daughter of James and Mary Biggers Wagstaff! James J. and Eliza Jane later moved to San Augustine County aroud Broaddus. There is a large Wagstaff settlement there and it is near where we live. We hav attended one or two of their reunions. As you can see I do not know a lot about James. I have the Shelby Co. written cnesus 1850 through 1920. Also some other tax books, probate book, etc. I would be happy to look anything up in those books. Let me know. Sincerly, Bettye WagstaffRoute 3, Box 3037Bronson, Texas 75937-------------------------------------------------------- Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I recently received a birth certificate for my husband's grandfather, Frederick Jobson born Nov 22, 1877 in Aston, Duddeston, County of Warwick. Sarah Elizabeth Wagstaff (Jobson) was listed as the mother, Henry Jobson the father. Frederick Jobson was a British Home Child sent to Canada with the Middlmore Home in June 1884. The information we have from the Middlemore Home was that his father was Henry Jobson but his mother was not named. I am trying to confirm that this was actually his birth certificate and would also like to know what happened to his parents or if he had any siblings.

Alice May's daughter,Joan and several other cousins have done a considerable amount of research. I spoke briefly to Peter Wagstaff yesterday and he has given Joan a CD of photos of Percy.
