Notes for Hebert Green Waggener: Herbert Green Waggener is the youngest son born to his parents James Herbert Waggener and Ann Jones, apparently in Culpeper County. He not mentioned in the will of his father, James Herbert Waggener, dated August 28, 1788 and proved April 18, 1803, but he is mentioned in the indenture, dated February 26, 1795, in which his brother John mortgages to Herbert and his brothers and brothers-in-law, a 150 acre tract of land give the previous year to John by his parents, and apparently on which his parents still lived. This later document seems to confirm that Herbert Green Waggener was the son of James Herbert Waggener and Ann Jones. Herbert is described as "of Culpeper County Virginia" at the time of the document. (See below.) It is not known why Herbert is not mentioned in the will in 1788, but perhaps he had made some other kind of arrangement. Herbert was 20 years old at the time, and had married Nancy Willis, the year before on June 10, 1787. Nancy was the daughter of William Willis, who was a neighbor to James Herbert and Ann in Culpeper County, Herbert apparently sold all of his property in Culpeper County, Virginia in about 1804-5, and moved to Adair County, Kentucky. He seems to have had a significant amount of money and property at the time of his move. He appears on the Adair County tax list in 1805 with 14 slaves and 5 horses. At about this same time, Herbert's brother John Waggener and his uncle Reuben Waggener seem to have also sold their property in Culpeper County and also moved to Adair County. Presumably they all moved somewhat together, and there seems to be some indication that there were a number of other families that moved with them, more or less. Herbert's brother John appears on the Adair County tax list tax list in 1805 also. It appears that their mother Ann (Jones) Waggener remained in Virginia, apparently living in Madison County with one of her daughters there, Lucy White or Mary Jones. His older brother Richard had moved to nearby Barren County, Kentucky, at least 15 years earlier. Herbert Green's wife Elizabeth Nancy (Willis) apparently died in Adair County. In 1827 he married his second wife, the widow Mrs. Eleanor Best, and apparently shortly thereafter they moved to Hardin County, where they spent the rest of their lives. It is unknown why they made this move, but they also seemed to have taken a lot of property with them. Herbert Green Waggener was reportedly a large and colorful figure, serving at different times as Minister, Sherriff, and Justice of the Peace. ==================================================================== Rick Waggeer amassed a huge number of records that concern Herbert, thanks largely to the generous help of Crystal Dingler. These are more than the 8 pages of notes that are currently available in the FTM software. Therefore, I have shifted many of the applicable records to the notes of his first wife, Elizabeth Nancy (Willis), since they obviously pertain to her also. They cover from about 1790 until Nancy's death in 1822. Please see her notes for these records. ==================================================================== From The Culpeper County deed book- pages 483-487: An indenture made the 26th day of February, 1796, between (brothers and brothers-in-law) John Waggener "on the one part" and Richard Waggener of Kentucky, James Jones Waggener of Culpeper, Thomas Waggener of Madison County, Virginia, Herbert Green Waggener of Culpeper, Ambrose Jones (husband to sister Mary) and John White (husband to sister Lucy), both of Madison Co., Virginia, "on the other part." It states that John Waggener is to pay the others 300 pounds for the land which apparently had been the estate of their parents James Herbert and Ann Waggener. The previous year James Herbert had conveyed the property to son John Waggener, who reportedly lived on it with his family. (See the notes of his father James Herbert Waggener for further perspective, and the notes of his brother John for a fairly complete transcription of the indenture.) ==================================================================== From "A History of Kentucky Baptists from 1769 to 1885", by J. H. Spencer, revised and corrected by Mrs. Burilla B. Spencer. Published by Church History & Archives 1976, Lafayette, Tennessee, Vol. 2, p. 204: "Herbert G. Waggoner was among the most efficient laborers within the bounds of Russell's Creek Association, for a period of nearly 30 years. It is much regretted that so few particulars of his life and labors have been preserved. He was probably a native of Virginia, but of this the author is not certain. He settled in Adair County, and became a member of Zion Church (which he long served as pastor) as early as 1805. He was an active and prominent member of Russell's Creek Association, and frequently served that body as Moderator. He was called to his reward, in 1834, that same year that those other eminent soldiers of the Cross, David Thurman, David L. Mansfield, David Kelley and James H. L. Moorman, were to join the general Assembly and Church of the first born." ==================================================================== According to Max Edward Waggener: Herbert Green Waggener was born in Culpeper, Co., Virginia. He moved to Adair County, Kentucky, in 1812. He died in Kentucky. He was a Babtist minister who helped organize many churches. He weighed 355 pounds and was twice married to cousins. (It was not noted how his wives were his cousins. Also, it seems likely he was in Adair County by early 1805.) ===================================================================== From DAR Bible Records of Waggener Family 1747-1903 Donated by Sarah Caswell Angell Chapter, DAR (Michigan): Herbert Green Waggener marries Elizabeth Nancy Willis in Culpeper County on June 10, 1787 ===================================================================== From Early Virginia Religious Petitions; a website put together by the Library of Congress and the University of Virginia at: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/repehtml/repehome.html: A petition in Culpeper County, Virginia, dated November 2, 1785 is signed by "H. G.Waggener" and a number of other relatives in that county at that time including his brothers James, Richard, and Thomas Waggener. Also Reuben Waggener, William Willis, Anthony Garnett, and quite a few others. In 1784, the House had voted to incorporate the Protestant Episcopal Church, but balked at the question of whether to levy a general tax or assessment, to support ministers of the Christian religion. During the fall session of 1785, ninety petitions were presented, running nearly three to one against the assessment bill. This petition was one of those presented and it supported the Baptist position opposed to the assessment bill. That bill was quickly abandoned, and the "Bill for Establishing Religious Freedom" that Thomas Jefferson had drafted in 1777, passed both the House of Delegates and the Senate to become law early in 1786, thereby ensuring the permanent separation of church and state. This seems to show that the Waggeners, Garnetts, and Willis families were active in political and community affairs. ==================================================================== As mentioned above, due to the large volume of records that have been sent to me by Crystal Dingler, I moved most of the records from 1790 to 1822, to the notes of Elizabeth Nancy (Willis), Herbert's wife during these years. Continued below are the records from Crystal, from after 1822: ****** 1822- Herbert and his brother John were again Messengers to the Russell’s Creek Association for Zion Church. (Pioneer Baptist Church Records from South Central Kentucky) ****** 28 October 1823 Adair County Deed Book F, p. 98: 1/3 Herbert, 1/6 Alexander Waggener, 1/6 John McAlister and 1/3 John Waggener agree to certain property lines in order to quite title on their shares of the 2000 acres they now own which were originally bounty land provided to Alexander Dick. Witnessed by HGW, Jr., and Simeon Waggener. Through the Will of Alexander Dick, the land had become the property of Mary Taliaferro, afterwards Mary Payton, Charles C. Taliaferro, and John Fenton Mercer as divisees, conveyed the tract to Robert Patton and Richard T. Hackley of Fredericksburg & Major John Lee of the State of Kentucky; then Patton & wife conveyed their share to Herbert; Hackley conveyed his share to Robert Stewart who conveyed to John McAlister & Alexander Waggener; and Andrew Price & Mary his wife, Samuel J. Wallace and Matilda his wife, John Crittenden and Sally his wife, with the said Mary Matilda & Sally being heirs of Major Lee, their part to John Waggener. ****** 6 December 1823 Adair County Deed Book F, p. 110: Herbert sells 147 ½ acres and 27 poles to Martin Loy being on the waters of Glensfork a branch of Russells Creek and bounded as follows (to wit): Beginning in the middle of said branch thence with James Allens line S 6 degrees W 144 poles to a sugartree and black gum thence south S 69 W 83 poles to a beach broke down an a sugartree there W 85 poles to a hickory and dogwood thence N. 1 degree E, 94 poles to dogwood and Beach thence West 4 poles to a black gum thence N 10 degrees W 29 poles to a stake corner to William Waggener thence N 4 degrees W 70 poles to a beach and dogwood on the bank of the aforesaid branch thence down the branch with the middle of the stream …bunch of directions… to the beginning. Teste J.C. Waggener, William Davis. Recorded 3 May 1824. [Note: this Martin Loy was the father of Elizabeth Loy who would marry Simeon Green Waggener] ****** 6 December 1823 Adair County Deed Book F, p. 6: Herbert "sells" the 300 acres "on which he lives" to John Miller, essentially giving the land as bond for the $832.90 Interest judgment against himself and others, a "considerable portion" of which is the debt of Alexander Waggener, his son, for payment of a judgment against them in the Federal Court in Replevin given 27 Aug. 1821. Miller in turn gives his 250 acres "on which he lives" as bond in mortgage for the said debt. [these were panic or depression times in KY and many lost everything, including Alexander Waggener]. Herbert is legally bound for the whole debt. Herbert’s land is described as Beginning at two rotten down sugartrees on the main west fork of Greens [Glens?] fork of Russell’s creek then south east corner of 2000 acres patented in the name of Alexander Dick and of which the said 300 Acres is part, thence down the Creek with the meanders thereof N. 10 degrees E 155 poles to a beech white oak and dogwood on the Bank of the Creek thence west 638 poles to a beech and rock marked ul, thence S 110 poles to a hickory and read oak thence E 420 poles to the beginning. ****** 1823 Adair County Personal Property Tax List; "Waggener, Herbert G.," 300 acres; value $10 Glensfork (Dick) plus "same apart for headright" 312 acres value $5 Glens Fork (Dick); 1 white male >21; 5 slaves >16; 8 blacks total; 4 cattle; value $7262 [Note: either the Panic hurt HGW or he lost badly with Alexander’s losses] ****** 1824 Adair County Personal Property Tax List; "Waggener, Herbert G.," 300 acres, value $10 Glensfork (Dick); plus 162 Glens Fork (F Garott?); 1 white male >21; 7 blacks >16; 9 total black;2 cattle; value $7220 ****** 1825 Adair County Personal Property Tax List; "Waggener, Herbert G Sr," 300 acres at $10/ea Adair Glensfork (Dick); plus 162 acres at $5; Adair Glensfork (part Catvil? / part by Stapp); 1 white male >21; 7 blacks >16; 12 total blacks; 2 cattle; value $ 11,000 [Note: HGW seems to have recovered his fortunes, perhaps his pay as Sheriff helped or good tobacco years] ****** 1826 Adair County Personal Property Tax List; "Waggener, Herbert G Sr," 300 acres at $6 each' Adair Glensfork Dick; 165 acres at $6 each, Adair Glensfork Colvert ; 30 acres at 6 each Adair Glensfork Berry; 1 white male >21; 8 blacks >16; 10 total blacks; 5 horses $6059.50 ****** 6 September 1826 Adair County Deed Book f, p. 548-550. HGW sells to Anthony Garnett of Cumberland County, KY, for $2590.27, and ten thousand and 361 pounds of Tobacco in hand, a tract of land on Glens Fork of Russells Creek being part of two military surveys in the names of Alexander Dick and Colvert and a headright in the name of Benajmin Stapp totaling 470 acres. Waggener reserves ¼ of an acre of land on Joseph Colverts tract aforesaid including a grave yard and also excludes from the conveyance and reserves one quarter of an acre including three inac(?) grave yards in the tract held under Alex Dick that is one quarter of an acre to be divided between the said three grave yards and the parties agree that the said Waggener is to have the privilege of pailing or in any manner enclosing the three said grave yards at any time he may think proper. This Anthony Garnett is the son of Oliver and grandson of Robert "Robin" Garnett. He would be a 1st Cousin once removed to Herbert's then deceased wife Nancy (Willis). I also believe that he was directly related to Herbert, but have yet to verify that. Certainly these families are well connected. Anthony had just gotten married that year and apparently moved from Cumberland County where his parents were, to Adair County, where he spent the rest of his life. Herbert will move to Hardin County within a year or two, and it seems possible that he may be planning to do so at this point by beginning to sell off property. ****** ==================================================================== From Larry Hart: From Hardin County, Kentucky Marriages, 1793-1829: Waggoner, Herbert G., and Mrs. Eleanor Best. Surety Lloyd Ray. Both of age. 26 Jul 1827. W. Cash. A179 ==================================================================== Another tidbit from Crystal Dingler, who is clearly the expert on Herbert Green Waggener: "Nancy Waggener died in Adair County, KY, and HGW married Eleanor Best in 1827 and moved to Hardin County in 1828. He was last on the personal property tax list for Adair in 1827. I have not found the marriage in Adair or Hardin counties, and don't know why they moved to Hardin. In 1828 he is on the pptax list for Hardin with no land. By 1829 he has land on Nolin Creek (which runs the length of Hardin County and almost everyone's land is on it in some manner). ===================================================================== Herbert's date of birth, as well as the dates of his marriages to Nancy Willis and Eleanor Best, came from: "Bible Records of Waggener Family, Virginia, Kentucky, Iowa, 1747 to 1903." Donated by Sarah Caswell Angell Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. Sent to me by Crystal Dingler. ===================================================================== From "Notes on Kay and Allied Families," by Mrs. M. W. Hiden, Newport News, Virginia; (Originally published in April of 1939, but amended apparently several years later): A Mr. Trist Wood of New Orleans had in his possession, several letters from his ancestor and oldest brother of Herbert, Richard Waggener. In a letter dated April 27, 1833, written by Richard W. Waggener (son of Richard), who was then living in Weakley County, Tennessee, to his brother-in-law Col. Thompson Crenshaw of Barren County, Kentucky. Richard relates that on a recent visit to Mill's Point on the Mississippi River, he happened to meet "Old Uncle Herbert Waggener, who is very much broken and now looks more like father than ever." Herbert would have been about 65 years old at the time, and about a year before his death. Notes for ELIZABETH NANCY WILLIS: Many of these records listed below mention only the husband of Elizabeth, Herbert Green Waggener. I have listed them in Nancy's notes, because I ran out of room in Herbert's notes, and because they relate to Nancy as much as they do Herbert. They cover from about 1790 until the time of Nancy's death in 1822. =================================================================== The following records were provided by Crystal Dingler from the LDS Family Library, Microfilm #2024517, Culpeper County, Virginia: Personal Property Tax Lists (1782-1802). They give what is probably a limited, although interesting picture of the economic ups and downs of Herbert and his wife Elizabeth Nancy in this period. Also interesting is the various ways his name is spelled by the various county clerks. The parenthesis show the name as it appears on the various records: ****** From 1790 Culpeper Personal Property Tax List: "Harburt G. Waggener" is listed with 1 white male over 16, 1 black male under 16, 1 horse, 1 tithable, and he paid a tax of 12 shillings. ****** From 1792 Culpeper Personal Property Tax List: "Herbert G.

Waggenor" is listed with 1 white male over 16, 3 black males over 16, 5 horses, 4 tithables, and paid taxes of $1.92. ==================================================================== Continuing the above, this next series of records also from Crystal, the Personal Property Tax Lists of Culpeper County from 1803-1823, LDS microfilm #2024518. She noted that the microfilm was quite bleached out, and that some years were unreadable or missing altogether. ****** From 1803 Culpeper Personal Property Tax List: "Herbert G.

Waggoner" is listed with 1 white male, 3 blacks over 16, 1 black 12-16, 7 horses [no carriages, etc or stud horses] total tithables 4, tax: $2.60. These are the last entries on the property tax list in Culpeper County for Herbert Green Waggener. ==================================================================== Also from Crystal Dingler: ****** A Deed dated September 17, 1798, from Culpeper County Deed Book U, page 68, (LDS Microfilm #0030950). The indenture involves "Herbet G. Waggoner" purchasing 2 parcels of land, 54 acres and 52 acres respectively, from "Joseph Wilkins and Sarah his wife of the County of Culpeper." The purchase price is "Seven hundred dollars current money of Virginia." The parcels are identified as, "...being part of a larger tract sold and conveyed unto Benjamin Hawkins by c Alexander Spotswood as by Indenture hearing date the Nineteenth day of December One thousand seven hundred and Seventy five..." The parcel is partially described as, "...to the Beginning at again and unreadable to end of line degrees East Eighty seven poles to a small box oak and hickory on the side of Piney mountain thence et? with Eighty six degrees West Ninety poles to a pine ? black oak and past oak thence North twenty degrees West Eighty nine poles to a fence and black oak thence South Eighty six degrees East to the beginning ..." ****** A deed dated October 8, 1804, from Culpeper County, Virginia, Deed Book ZZ, p. 55 (LDS Microfilm #0030953). The indenture involves "Herbert G. Waggoner and Nancy his wife of the County of Culpeper" selling a parcel of 443 acres of land to "Robert Patton of the Town of Fredericksburg," for "the full and Just sum of Fourteen hundred and Twenty pounds current money of Virginia." This would seem to be a significant amount of money, which Herbert and Nancy took to Kentucky. This particular parcel was originally purchased from a James Somerville, and was adjoining in some way or other, the tract sold below, 8 days later on October 16, 1804. Crystal estimates that it is about 4 miles north/ north/ east of his father James Herbert Waggener's land in Culpeper County. Robert Patton is apparently a broker in real estate and other property, working out of Fredericksburg, but apparently extending his business into Kentucky. He is apparently at least an acquaintance, if not a relative of the Waggeners, because he seems to have a number of business dealings with brothers Herbert, John, and James. This parcel is described as, "Beginning at a post oak and two Black Jack corner to ___space" formerly in Hansbroughs thence with his line North Twenty two and a half degrees West Page break three hundred and forty four poles to a white oak in Robertsons line thence with his line South seventy nine Degrees East Eight poles to a white Oak, Corner to Robertson: Thence with his line North forty three and a half degrees East one hundred and twenty two poles and Eighteen links to two white oaks Corner to Robertson thence with his line North Seventy four and a half degrees East Eighty four poles to a small Elm and two Gums near a box Oak on a branch thence down the said Branch the __ corner thereof two box oaks on the South side of Cabin Branch Corner to James Somerville and John Jameson thence with Jamesons line South Twenty one Degrees East two hundred and Eighty two poles ___space___ Corner to Benjamin Willis thence with the said Willis line South Eighty six degrees West one hundred poles to the Beginning." ****** A deed dated October 10, 1804, from Adair County Kentucky Deed Abstracts, Books A and B, 1802-1811 by Michael C. Watson p. 13, Book A p. 277. Herbert G. Waggoner purchased for $2,000. from Robert Patton of Fredericksburg, VA and Ann Gorden his wife their 1/3 interest in a tract in Adair Co on Glenns or Russells Creek containing 667 acres beginning on the main west fork of Glenns Creek being the same tract purchased by Robert Patton, Rich’s Hackley and John Lee from James Garnett and others. This deed wasn't recorded until March 2, 1807, in Adair County. ****** A deed dated October 16, 1804, from Culpeper County Deed Book AA, p. 247 (LDS Microfilm #0030953). The indenture involves "Herbert G. Waggoner and his wife of the County of Culpeper," selling 100 acres of land to Benjamin Willis, Sr. (Elizabeth's uncle) of the County of Orange, for "one hundred pounds current money." Herbert and Nancy are clearly selling off their land just prior to their move to Kentucky. There was apparently some kind of problem proving this indenture on April 16, 1805, most likely because Herbert and Nancy were already on their way to Kentucky. This particular parcel is described, "bounded as follows. The Beginning at a Post Oak and Hickory on the side of a mountain corner to Col. John Jameson; Thence with his line North 21 Degrees West 147 poles to ________ in said Jameson's line corner to Robert Pattow thence with said Pattow line South 86 Degrees W 182 poles to _______Corner to said Pattow in Peter Hainsbaugh line thence with his line South 22 Degrees and East 46 poles to a post Oak and two black Sache in said Hainsbaugh line Corner to a tract of Land Generally called Adamses thence with their line North 86 degrees East 92 poles to a Post Oak Supposed cover to Adams thence with another of his lines South 20 Degrees. East 100 poles and one half pole to a black Oak his Corner in the said Willises land which Land he purchased of his Brother William Willis thence South 88 degrees East 88 poles to the beginning." It would seem to indicate that it was originally owned by Nancy's father William. ****** A record dated October 18, 1804, from Adair County Kentucky Deed Abstracts, Books A and B, 1802-1811 by Michael C. Watson p. 13: Nathaniel Welch of Madison Co, VA to Edmund Willis of Culpeper Co, VA "but now removed to the State of Kentucky" 1000 acres in Adair, Caney Fork of Russels Creek: Witnesses: John Wagoner, Oliver G.

(These last two records would seem to show pretty conclusively that Herbert's and the other families traveled to Kentucky immediately upon selling their land in Virginia, and probably had some connection before they moved. The trip was about 6 weeks at that time. This record shows that Herbert was a Court Justice in January of 1805.) ***** 1805 Tax List for Adair Co, KY [no land listed after his name at this time] white white black Total # >21 16-21 >16 blacks horses Carriage 1805 Wagner, Herbert 1 - 4 14 5 1 ****** On September 14 and 15, 1805 "Herb.
