Descendants of John Waggener

8. JOHN³ WAGGENER (HERBERT², JOHN¹) was born Abt. 1702 in Essex Co., Virginia, and died Aft. 1771 in Culpeper Co., Virginia. He married RACHEL MEADOR. She was born Abt. 1700, and died Aft. 1771.

Notes for JOHN WAGGENER:
John Waggener would have been born on his parent's estate in Essex County. He is described in his father's will as the oldest son. He must have met and married his wife Rachel Meador in Essex County, and probably they had most of their children there. Even though he inherited his parent's estate, he and Rachel moved to Spotsylvania County, probably in the mid to later 1740's. John first appears as a witness on a deed there in 1749. They certainly stayed in Essex County until after the death of John's father Herbert, in 1743. It is not known how long after that his mother lived, but perhaps it was several years, and they moved after her death. There was a whole group of Waggener relatives who made this move in this general time frame. These include his brothers James Herbert, Greensby, and probably Reuben. Also his 1st cousins Erasmus Withers Allen, Joseph Allen, Lucrectia (Waggener) Coleman, and Samuel Waggener, Jr. A number of them show up with John on the Spotsylvania records below.

John eventually moved from Spotsylvania County to Culpeper County. Where he is described as living on the indentures dated 1771. It appears from the Spotsylvania County records below, that John and Rachel were selling the property there in 1762 and 1763. It would seem likely that they moved to Culpeper County, about that time. It is not known where they lived in Culpeper County.

The records from 1771 also seem to be a dispersal of property. John passed on western land that he had been given for the service of his younger brothers Edmund and Thomas, in the French and Indian War. The land was passed to his famous son Andrew, who eventually also passed it on to his heirs. The second record is the sale of what is apparently his parent's old estate, back in Essex County. Probably, John was near, or feeling near to the end of his life.

===================

From Sandy Fortner:

There is an indenture, made August 8, 1771, between "John Waggener of the County of Culpeper, oldest brother and Heir at Law to Thomas Waggener, late of Culpeper in the First Virginia Regiment, and to Edmund Waggener, late ensign of the said Virginia Regiment, now both deceased, of the one part; and Andrew Waggener of the County of Frederick, oldest son of said John Waggener."

The indenture is for parcels of land on the Ohio River, (part of 200,000 acres apparently granted by proclamation to veterans of the French and Indian War), "which the said Thomas Waggener and Edmund Waggener were entitled as Officers in the said Virginia Regiment and under the proclamation of the Honorable Robert Dinwiddle," and which "the said John Waggener bearth to the said Andrew Waggener and for his better advancement and for the further consideration of Forty Pounds of rent (tax) money in hand paid to the said John Waggener to the said Andrew Waggener."

The document is witnessed by Robt. Apleby, Jr., Greensbe Waggoner, Spencer Reynolds
Rec: April 19, 1771

(John Waggener must have been in his late 60's at the time of this indenture. It would seem that John gave this land to his son Andrew, because neither of his brothers Thomas or Edmund had any offspring. There is mention of some fees for surveying, taxes, titles ect., which Andrew had agreed to pay. Andrew eventually acquired significant parcels of his own, for his serviece in the Revolutionary War. These parcels were all passed on to his descendants. Greensbe Waggener was John's younger brother.)

=================

There is another indenture in the Essex County Clerk of the Court Records, Book #30, pgs. 491 and 492, dated November 18, 1771, in which "John Waggener and Rachel his wife, of the County of Culpeper," sell a parcel of about 200 acres of land "in the County of Essex and in the Parish of Southfarnham," to James and William Gatewood. The parcel of land is said to be, "adjoining Thomas Meador's land and likewise Elizabeth Allen's and Thomas Allen's lands," and the selling price seems to be "Ninety pounds current money."

(This must have been what was left of the original plantation of John's parent's, Herbert and Elizabeth Waggener, which according to Herbert's will, John inherited. John and Rachel had moved from Essex County about 20 years earlier, to Spotsylvania County and later to Culpeper County. It would seem likely that the neighbor to that property, Thomas Meador, was in some manner related to Rachel Meador Waggener, perhaps her brother. The other neighbors, the Allens, were possibly also related to Allens that married Waggener daughters.)

Children of JOHN WAGGENER and RACHEL MEADOR are:

29.	i.		MAJOR ANDREW⁴ WAGGENER, b. Abt. 1740, Virginia; d. May 27, 1813, Bunker Hill, Berkeley Co., West Virginia.
	ii.		WILLIAM WAGGENER, b. 1734; d. Unknown.

Notes for WILLIAM WAGGENER:
According to the research of a Julia Hunnicut:

William was a Private in the Virginia Regiment of the Continental Army, in the French and Indian Wars. He marched with Colonel George Washington to the relief of Fort Dusquesne. After the war he was granted 1000 acres of bounty land in Berkeley Co., Virginia, now West Virginia.

He later served as Sergeant in the American Revolution. He was apparently slain in battle. He was granted, apparently posthumously, 3,454 acres of bounty land, location not given.

(Julia had listed all five of John's sons, as having fought in the French and Indian War. She had listed Edmund and Thomas, when the indenture clearly shows that they were John's brothers and not his sons. Therefore, it seems quite possible that she is also mistaken about this William. There was another William Waggener, living about the same time, son of Benjamin and Martha Greenhill, and who was the 1st cousin of John.)

	iii.		THOMAS WAGGENER, b. Abt. 1736; d. Unknown.
	iv.		JAMES WAGGENER, b. Abt. 1737; d. Unknown.

Notes for JAMES WAGGENER:
From the research of Julia Hunnicutt:

James reportedly fought in the French and Indian Wars, marching with Colonel George Washington to the relief of Fort Dusquesne in 1755.

He also reportedly fought in the American Revolution.

(Julia had listed all five of John's sons, as having fought in the French and Indian War. She had listed Edmund and Thomas, when the indenture clearly shows that they were John's brothers and not his sons. Therefore, it seems quite possible that she is also mistaken about this James, although it is unclear what other James Waggener it might be.)

EDMUND WAGGENER, b. Abt. 1739; d. Unknown.

9. ELIZABETH³ WAGGENER (HERBERT², JOHN¹) was born Abt. 1720 in Essex Co., Virginia, and died Abt. 1798. She met MR. SEARS. He died Unknown.

Notes for ELIZABETH WAGGENER:
****** From Virginia Colonial Abstracts, Vol. II, King and Queen County:
"p. 352 Bond. 19 July 1749. William Sears of Drisdale parish, King and Queen Co., for L200. to Elizabeth Waggoner of South Farnham par. Essex Co. That he will pay L50. by 19 July next year "For the keeping the Child Sarah Waggener one year". Wit: Nathaniel Pendleton, Thos Waggener, Reuben Waggener."

(It is not particularly clear what this bond is about, other than it most certainly seems to be in regard to this Elizabeth Waggener, and is witnessed by her brothers Thomas and Reuben Waggener. It is also witnessed by Nathaniel Pendleton, an apparent neighbor of the Waggeners in Essex County, and mentioned in other records.)

=============================

****** William Sears mentions Sarah Waggener Sears, daughter of Elizabeth Waggener Junior, in his will dated May 17, 1752 and probated June 16, 1752 (Essex County Will Book #9, page 190). He also mentions his son Albert Sears. In the will, he asks that his estate of "Negroes, Cattle, and hogg be kept together for six years after my decease and what money is raised from it to be apply'd to the keeping maintaining and the Education of my Beloved son Albert Sears and Sarah Wagoner Sears daughter of Eliz'a Wagoner Junior of the same County." He also mentions that after the 6 years, all that is left of his estate is to be divided between his son Albert and Sarah Waggener Sears.

(It is not mentioned what exactly the relationship is between this William Sears and Sarah Waggener. It sounds like she is a daughter of his, by Elizabeth Waggener. Since he is apparently an older man near death, perhaps Sarah is the daughter of an older son of William's. )

===========================

****** There is another, even more perplexing record, from the Essex County Deed Book #29, pages 239-240. It is an indenture made October 5, 1763, between "William Sears of Gloucester on the one part and Elizabeth Waggener Junr. of the County of Essex of the other part." The document mentions that "Where there is a marriage already agreed upon and by Gods Grace Shortly to be had and Solemnized Between the said William Sears and Sarah Waggener Sears the Daughter of the said Elizabeth Waggener Junr." The document says that upon the consummation of this marriage, this Willam is "entitled to possession of Sundry Slaves named Gloucester, Sarah, Davie, Ester, Ange, Pender, Judy, the sole property of the said Sarah Waggener Sears". The agreement is that Sarah "shall have free liberty to dispose of the one half of the said slaves and their increase by her last Will and Testament in writing or otherwise as she pleaseth." It further says that if she and William have no children, then the slaves and their children are to revert to Sarah exclusively.

(It is not mentioned what exactly is the relationship between this William Sears, that Sarah Waggener Sears is to marry; and the other William Sears, her apparent father or grandfather.)

Child of ELIZABETH WAGGENER and MR. SEARS is:

30.

SARAH WAGGENER⁴ SEARS, b. Bef. 1749; d. Unknown.

10. GREENSBY³ WAGGENER (HERBERT², JOHN¹) was born Unknown, and died Abt. 1798. He married (1) UNKNOWN. She died Unknown. He married (2) SARAH "LEAH" (MITCHELL) March 27, 1786 in Culpeper Co., Virginia. She died Unknown.

Notes for GREENSBY WAGGENER:
Greensby (or Greensbe) would have been born on his parents plantation in Essex County. I do not know when he was born, and it is not clear exactly where he is living up until 1782. He shows up as a witness on deeds in Spotsylvania County in 1753 and 1755. He is listed in Culpeper County as a witness on a deed involving his brothers in 1771. He is listed purchasing property in Essex County in 1759, and then between 1777-1780 he seems to be selling off property in Essex County. Presumably he was living in Essex County at some time during that period. In records from Essex County in 1777 and 1779 however, he is identified as being from Culpeper County. He must have been living in Culpeper County after 1782, because after that point, he shows up on Personal Property records in Culpeper County there. His older brothers James Herbert and John, moved to Spotsylvania County in the early 1740's and then seem to be established in Culpeper County in about 1770. Reportedly in 1786, Greensby married Sarah or Leah, widow to Jacob Mitchell. Greensby must have been married earlier to at least one other wife. In the Chancery record from 1802, the names of 5 daughters and their husbands are named. One of them, Catherine Allen, is described as a widow. It seems clear that none of these daughters are the children of Sarah. The name of the earlier wife or perhaps wives are unknown. It is unknown if Sarah and Greensby had any children, or if there were any other children to the earlier marriage(s). Greensby died intestate (without will) in about 1798, which would seem to indicate that his death was not expected.

Crystal Dingler found the following records in Essex County:

****** A record dated December 4, 1777; Greensby Waggener of Culpeper County, sold fifty-two acres to Thomas Colemen for twenty pounds, land was purchased by Greensby from Henry Reeves. Witnessed by Sophia Waggener

(Thomas Coleman was the son of Greensby's first cousin Lucrectia Waggener and her husband Edward Coleman. Thomas was apparently raised by Greensby's sister Sophia Waggener, who is listed as a witness here.)

****** Another record dated May 8, 1779; Greensby Waggener of Culpeper, sold fifty-nine acres, "the land he purchased," in South Farnham, Essex County, to Thomas James.

==============

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 a bit of a picture of his economic status, for the last 16 years of his life. Also interesting is the various spellings of his name, as written by the county clerk(s), with the parenthesis showing the name as listed:

****** From 1782 Personal Property Tax List in Culpeper Co., Virginia: "Greensby Waggoner" is listed white 1 white male over 21, 3 slaves (named Peter, Nan, and Ester), 4 horses, 13 cattle, and he paid taxes of 2 pounds, 11 shillings, and 3 pence.

Catherine Allen is the daughter of Greensby. I feel that the reference here, to "my worthy friends Greensby Waggoner and Reuben Waggener," shows that Greensby and Reuben were brothers and not father and son.

This record lists 5 daughters of Greensby and their husbands. Given that Greensby married Sarah (Mitchell) in 1786, it is clear that these are all the daughters of Greensby and an earlier wife or wives.

Joel Henry 1 mare, cow, bed etc. 28.8.6
Lacky (Lachy?) 1 horse 18.0.0
Reuben Allen 1 mare 18.0.0

We have settled the acount of Reuben Waggoner exec. of Fisher Allen. We find there are no charges against him but the charges are against Caty Allen except some advances to the children agreeably to the will which will was not proved until after the death of Catey Allen the widow the estate having been left to her during her life with leave to give in advance to the children. The exec. after the death of the widow returned the will to court and qualified. He then had the estate of Fisher Allen and the estate of Caty Allen both returned to court and sold as Fisher Allen's estate and as Caty Allen was possessed of part of the estate in her own right we have admitted the above charges which amounts to 11.19.1 exclusive of the advances 64/8.6 to three of the legatees the whole amount of his charges being 76.7.7 and that he credits the estate for the sum of 41.11.4 10 Oct 1805

At a court 2 April 1806 this settlement of the exec acct of Fisher Allen
and Caty Allen was returned into court and ordered recorded.
