Olive is listed in the household of her father and step-mother: Olivia -------; age- 17, female, born- Kentucky, in school ================== From a series of transcribed family letters sent to me by Judy Senter: ******There is a letter written by Olive's 1st cousin, Sue P. Samuel (daughter of Olive's aunt Sue (Anderson) Samuel), to Mary (Anderson) Waggener (also her aunt), with the heading "Trenton, Ky., Sept. 19, 1854." Sue speaks briefly of Olive and her brother Jasper. Sue notes that Olive lives near to her, apparently in Todd County, Kentucky, and that "Cousin Jap" is apparently living in Cape Giraidan, Missouri, and running some kind of store. The letter reads: "Cousin Olive is at home and not married yet. I like her very mutch but do not go there often she is very affectionate Cousin Jap also is a very good boy he is living in Cape ........(must be Giraidan) Missouri and I hope he will do well.... Charles and Cousin Jap are merchandising..." =================== From the 1860 Federal Census of North and East of the Cumberland River, Montgomery County, Tennessee, page 20, taken June 17, 1860, in household 124; from ancestry.com, image 74 of 223. Olive and her husband Frank are listed in the household of a J. E. Baraday, a merchatn: O. K. Waller; age- 26, female, born- Kentucky ================== Barbara Dudley Brown sent me a series of deeds from the Montgomery County Courthouse, Clarksville, Tennessee. The first three deeds seem to involve one 33 or 34 acre piece of property in Montgomery County, purchased for Olive and her husband Frank, by Olive's father Stokley Towles Waggener. The fourth deed seems to be a tact of land adjacent to the other tract. At the time of these deeds Stokley was living near Russellville in Logan County, Kentucky. This was just north of Montgomery County. It appears that the parcel was initially purchased around 1861, which would have been soon after Olive and Frank married. -------------------------------------- Deed Book 8, pages 641-642 Date of Instrument: Recorded: Sept. 9, 1865 Samuel Brockman to H.

Witness my hand at office in the city of Clarksville on the 11th Jan. 1867. =============== From the 1870 Federal Census of Civil District 36, Montgomery, County, Tennessee, Post Office- Clarksville, taken July 7, 1870, page 259, household 17; from genealogy.com. Olive is listed in the household of her husband: Waller, O. K.; age- 37, female, occupation- keeps house, born- Kentucky =============== More from a series of transcribed family letters sent to me by Judy Senter: ****** There is a letter written by "Olive K. Waller" who is writing from Clarksville, Tennessee on January 26, 1876, to her aunt, Mary Frances (Anderson) Waggener, who was in Hancock County, Illinois. Olive is married although she only refers to her husband as Mr. Waller. Clarksville, Tennessee seems to be about 20 miles south of Trenton, Kentucky, just across the border. Olive makes a reference which seems to indicate she has been there for 8-10 years. She mentions that the laborers that they use on their farm are not reliable, and that she and her husband are not able to leave for any length of time. She mentions that she had last seen her father, Stokely Towles Waggener, the previous fall, and that he was in good health. She also mentions being touch with the sons of her uncles, Dick Waggener in Cumberland Co., Virginia and Reuben Garnett Waggener in Rush Tower, Missouri. ****** There is another letter from Olive, written to her cousin Mary O'Neil Waggener, who is apparently in Illinois. The heading says she's in "Glenoline," which I can't find on a map, but is also apparently not too far from Trenton. There apparently was a "Glenellen" in Montgomery County, Tennessee, which probably is the place she is referring to . The letter is dated "Aug. 29," and seems to have been written in 1877, because she mentions that her father is 78 years old. Things are not going well with her and her husband. She writes: "...Mr. Waller was in very bad health all last summer and fall, he had carbuncles a long time which confined him to his chair which was followed by a billious spell. In December he was taken with rhumatizm and was not able to do any work until March. Since that time he has been very well. Our hired man left us while he was still sick last summer, consequently we made no crop last year and the times being so hard, we found it difficult to make both ends meet. All of these things taken together kept me from feeling like writing. It has fallen to my lot in this world to be poorer than any of my near relatives and I think I would enjoy a competency more than any of them. it seems to me the more they make, the closer they get. We have no hired hands this year. We rented out our corn land and Mr. Waller has a tobacco crop which he is working himself with an occasional hand by day. I am glad to day it is a fine piece of tobacco, the best we have seen this year. But the corn crop is almost a total failure in this neighbourhood and also in many other places, We have not had rain enough to wet the ground since first of June...." Olive also speaks of a number of family members, including her father Stokely, her brother Jasper, and her half-brothers Leslie, James, and Dick. Her husband Frank was to die within the year on March 15, 1878. ================== From the 1880 Federal Census of the Town of Russellville, Logan County, Kentucky, district 164, page 41/ 431A, taken June 1, 1880, household 1; from ancestry.com, image 1 of 45. Olive is listed in the household of her father and step-mother: Waller, Olive H.; age- 44, daughter, widowed, born- Kentucky, father born- Virginia, mother born- Tennessee ================== More still from a series of transcribed family letters sent to me by Judy Senter: ******* There is another letter from Olive, dated January 14, 1888, and written to her Aunt Mary Frances (Anderson) Waggener in Carthage, Illinois. Olive is apparently in Lakewood, Tennessee, which is near Nashville. She talks mostly about the death of her Aunt Sarah, and does not talk much about herself, but it appears that she is alone. Her husband Frank had been dead about 10 years. She talks of going to "stay with Buddy and Lulu this winter," who are presumably her cousin Lulu Mason and her husband Meriwether, who are apparently in Christian County, Kentucky. ****** Another letter from Olive, dated August 23, 1888, and written to her cousin Mary O'Neil Waggener, who is apparently still in Illinois. Olive is writing from Trenton, Kentucky. She speaks quite a bit about her health, which seems to be improving, and the declining health of her brother Jasper. She speaks of having little money, outside of money that Jasper has been apparently giving her. She talks about wanting to go to Cincinnati to see Jasper, as well as Illinois and Texas. ****** Another letter from Olive to Mary, dated only March 7, although it must have been between 1889 and 1896. She is writing from Austin Texas, and tells Mary to contact her by writing care of her half-brother Professor Leslie Waggener. She reports that her health is pretty good, but her eyesight is going, making it hard for her to read and write. She does not mention her brother Jasper. ================ From the 1900 Federal Census of City of Austin, Precinct No. 3, Travis County County, Texas, district 90, sheet 4b, taken June 5, 1900, household #69, 2300 San Antonio Street; from ancestry.com, image 8 of 18. Olive is listed in the household of Fannie Waggener, widow to her half-brother Leslie: Waller, Olive K.; sister-in-law, female, born- February 1833, age- 67, widowed, born- Kentucky, father born- Virginia, mother born- Kentucky, r/w's =============== Even more from a series of transcribed family letters sent to me by Judy Senter: ****** There is one more letter from Olive to Mary, the last one of the series written by her, dated April 12, 1905. She is is Austin, Texas still, although her half-brother Prof. Leslie Waggener had died 9 years earlier. She doesn't really talk much about herself, although she says she hopes she'll "grow better and stronger." She did mention that she she had returned to Kentucky the previous summer for a visit. ***** There is one more letter in the series dated March 10, 1909, and written by Lulu Mason to Mary O. Waggener. Although she talks about many family members, she does not mention Olive, which would seem to indicate that she was dead by then. |

From Gannaway's Obituaries Compiled From Newspapers, V2. Public Library Clarksville, TN. I did not view the original in the paper. I am guessing that issue wasn't available to me. Waller, Mr. Frank. Died 15 Mar 1878. Lived near Idaho Springs. Buried at Dudley Cemetery. I walked the Dudley Cemetery a number of years ago. I think it was c1984. The cemetery was in bad shape. I do not remember seeing a headstone for Frank Waller. However, Anita W. Darnell and Ruth A. Hays cemetery transcriptions (don't have exact name handy) book includes him in the Dudley Cemetery. Waller, Rank. "My beloved husband," Dec. 12, 1832-Mar. 5, 1878. I believe the stone was difficult to read hence Rank instead of Frank. Also there is a difference in the day of death. Although I haven't viewed the original article and can't check day of death, I am guessing the #1 on the headstone wasn't visible. |

Notes for JASPER A. WAGGENER: From the 1850 Federal Census of District #1, Todd County, Kentucky, page 236, taken August 24, 1850, household #293; from ancestry.com, image 83 of 100. Jasper is listed in the household of his father and step-mother: Jasper ------; age- 15, male, born- Kentucky, in school =============== From a series of transcribed family letters sent to me by Judy Senter: ****** There is a letter written by Jasper's 1st cousin, Sue P. Samuel (daughter of Jasper's aunt Sue (Anderson) Samuel), to Mary (Anderson) Waggener (also his aunt), with the heading "Trenton, Ky., Sept. 19, 1854." Sue speaks briefly of Jasper and his sister Olive. Sue notes that Olive lives near to her, apparently in Todd County, Kentucky, and that "Cousin Jap" is apparently living in Cape Giraidan, Missouri, and running some kind of store. The letter reads: "Cousin Olive is at home and not married yet. I like her very mutch but do not go there often she is very affectionate Cousin Jap also is a very good boy he is living in Cape ........(must be Giraidan) Missouri and I hope he will do well.... Charles and Cousin Jap are merchandising..." ============== From United States National Archives. Civil War Compiled Military Service Records [database online] Provo, UT: Ancestry.com, 1999-: Name: Waggener, Jasper Unit: Tems, Brigade, Gen. Staff, C. S. A. Rank- Induction: Captain Rank- Discharge: A. A. G. Notes- Wagoner, Jasfer Allegiance: Confederate I have been able to learn a little bit about Jasper's service, but not much. I have confirmed that he was a Captain and I believe his unit was the 18th Tennessee, although I don't know what kind of unit it was. I know that he was captured and in the fall of 1863, he was in the Civil War Prison at Johnson's Island, near Sandusky, Ohio. I am pretty sure that the rank "A. A. G." stands for Assistant Adjutant General. I believe that this means that he served as a staff officer for a Brigade General. ============= From an account of the service in the Confederate Forces during the Civil War, of Jasper's half-brother Leslie Waggener, Sr., as reported some time later by his son Leslie Waggener, Jr. This was found and shared by Martha Boyden Alt. For the most part the account was about Leslie Sr.'s experience during and after the Battle of Shiloh. The battle, also known as the Battle of Pittsburg Landing took place on April 6-7, 1862, near the town of Shiloh, Tennessee. Leslie Sr. was severely wounded on the first day of the battle, and was moved the next day with the withdrawing Confederate forces, to Corinth, Mississippi. He reportedly spent about a month there. Then according to the account, he was taken to near Holly Springs, Mississippi, where he stayed for another month or so. Reportedly Jasper visited him there in what must have been June or July in 1862. Leslie Jr. wrote: "... he (Leslie) was carried to the nearby home of Col ???, near Holly Springs, Mississippi, which family was on intimate terms with his family. Here he stayed a month or so, gradually improving. While here his brother Capt. Jasper A. Waggener, of the Confederate Army, came to see him and it just happened that the very day he was with him a Federal agent came to the house. My uncle, Capt. Jasper A. Waggener, had departed in haste and I have heard him say that as he told my father good bye as he lay on the cot on the veranda he felt sure that he would never see him again..." (Leslie did recover.) ============== Martha Boyden Alt also obtained and shared a series of letters written to and from Leslie Waggener, Sr., during the later part of the Civil War in 1863-64. Jasper is mentioned a couple of times in the letters, noting that he was being held as a prisoner-of-war at the Johnson's Island Civil War Prison. This was near the shore of Lake Erie, about 2 1/2 miles northwest of Sandusky, Ohio. It was apparently where a number of captured Confederate Officers were held. It is not indicated in the letters how it was that he came to be captured. It was indicated that he was apparently a member of the 18th Tennessee Regiment, although it wasn't mentioned what kind of unit this was. In a letter dated October 4, 1863, Jasper's step-mother, Ellen T. (Ross) Waggener is writing an apparent friend of the family. She writes: "... I received a letter from Jasper at Johnson's Island, yesterday. He was quite well, and had met with several officers of his old reg. the 18th Tennessee, with whom he was missing..." Then another letter, also written by Jasper's step-mother Ellen, to her son Leslie. The letter was dated November 19, 1863, a little over a month later: "... Jasper is a prisoner at Johnson's Island. He writes that he is well and having quite a good time. He had various amusements and plenty to eat in that respect, faring much better that the poor Federal prisoners in Richmond..." ============== More from a series of transcribed family letters sent to me by Judy Senter: ****** There is a letter sent by Jasper's sister, Olive Kay (Waggener) Waller, to her cousin in Illinois. Olive is apparently in either Tennessee or Kentucky, not far from Trenton, and the date is August 29, 1877. She writes about news of a number of family members who she apparently keeps in touch with, including Jasper. She writes: "...I met Brother at Pa's this summer. He was looking very well, his business has been somewhat dull the past two seasons on account of the hard times..." =============== From the 1880 Federal Census of Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio, district 135, page 22/ 195C, taken June 7, 1880, listed in an apparently large boarding house at 3rd and Vine; from ancestry.com, image 23 of 30: Waggner, Jasper A.; male, age- 45, single, occupation- Salesman Clothing, born- Kentucky, parents born- Virginia I am pretty sure that this is Jasper. Cincinnati is the area that his mother's family came from, and there are several other references that he was living in this area. =============== More still from a series of transcribed family letters sent to me by Judy Senter: ****** There is another letter from Olive, dated January 14, 1888, and written to her Aunt Mary Frances (Anderson) Waggener in Carthage, Illinois. Olive is apparently in Lakewood, Tennessee, which is near Nashville. She mentions Jasper, writing: "...Brother Jasper's health is very poor he is at Hot Springs, Ark...." ***** Another letter from Olive, dated August 23, 1888, and written to her cousin Mary O'Neil Waggener, who is apparently still in Illinois. Olive is writing from Trenton, Kentucky. She speaks at greater length about his declining health and all the treatment he has been receiving. Jasper is apparently supporting her. She writes: "...I am sorry I cannot give so good a report of brother Jasper, he has been trying everything that Drs. and climate could do, for a year and while he is some better, he is far from well. He thinks he cannot stay out of business any longer, another years rest would do him a great deal of good. He stayed in the Hospital in New York City two months, was treated by Electricity and burning of the back as his spine is also involved. he was then sent to island of Nantucket to get the benefit of the damp salt air, where he staid a month, then went to Northern N.Y. near Saratoga. His Dr. says everything depends on rest, as he was thoroughly broken down. I am looking for a letter from him every day saying he was back in Cincinnati as he said he must go to work..." ============= From the 1900 Federal Census of Nix Precinct, Escambia County, Florida, district 12, sheet 15a, taken June 15, 1900, household 274, address- 19 Commissioner Street; from genealogy.com. Jasper is listed in the household of his half brother Richard Waggener: ------ Jasper A.; brother, male, born- July 1833, age- 66, single, born- Kentucky, father born- Virginia, mother born- Tennessee, occupation- invalid, r/w's ============ From Logan County, Kentucky Cemeteries; copyright by Logan County Genealogical Society, 1986: There is a record of Jasper in the Maple Grove Cemetery, with the records of his parents: Waggener, Jasper A., July 23, 1834- August 9, 1902, buried at Austin, Texas There is also a record there of Jasper's half brother Leslie, who also was a veteran of the Confederate Army. The record seems to indicate that Leslie is buried with or near to Jasper in Austin. |

Olive is apparently in either Tennessee or Kentucky, not far from Trenton, and the date is August 29, 1877. She writes about news of a number of family members who she apparently keeps in touch with, including James. She writes: "...James was at home last summer, the first time for four years, he is a surgeon in the Navy, he has charge of the hospital at Norfolk, Va. now and is the youngest Surgeon ever given that position. Consequently he considers if a great compliment..." |
