Cork, Ireland, but from a oral family history the family was from England and had fought with Cromwell, after his death, some of the family stayed in England and others went to Ireland. My ancestor, John, came to US in 1832, at age 16 along with his younger brother, Thomas. John settled in Mercer CO. PA, his father Robert and wife Anne Good,and a number of siblings, came later and settled in Monmouth IL. Thomas also went there. John did have a son George, but he only has one child, a daughter. The IL Wagstaff's moved around IL, MO and KA. Some even went as far as CA. Never tracked the English line of this family.
