Francis Wagener¹

M, b. between 1750 and 1760, d. 1804

Last Edited

8 Sep 2022

Birth*

Francis Wagener was born between 1750 and 1760; There is a "Francis Wagoner," age 25, who appears in the census of Frederick County, Maryland, taken August 1776, living in the "Elizabeth Hundred," which included the area that is now Hagerstown, Washington County, Maryland (NGS Quarterly, 31 October 1908). This could be the same "Frantz Wagner, "whose name appears in the records of the Reformed Church of Hagerstown. Although this Francis or Frantz fits very well time-wise and place-wise with the Francis Wagner who purchased land on Sleepy Creek in 1781, I have yet to find any information that connects the two and it may just be an interesting coincidence. Other Wagoners in the area at the same time include Major Andrew Waggoner, son of a wealthy Virginia family and John Waggoner, Sr., both Revolutionary War veterans.

Name Variation

As of between 1750 and 1830, Francis Wagener was also known as Francis Wagoner all of the common spellings of the name appear in both early and later records. Francis' son John spelled it "Wagener," and his descendants spelled it that way, as well as "Wagoner" and "Wagner," some changing the preferred version during their lifetimes.

Marriage*

He married Mary (?) between 1775 and 1784; based on the date of birth of Elizabeth and other circumstantial evidence; the name Mary comes from the death record of Elizabeth Wagener Caw.¹

NoteB*

"Francis Waggoner" appears in "The Worshipfull Joseph Sprigg's Returns," "Patriots' Oaths of Fidelity and Support," 1 April 1778, Washington County, Maryland (National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Vol. 6.)

Land Purch*

On 20 August 1781 Francis Wagener purchased land at Sleepy Creek, Berkeley, Virginia, from Phillip Clover and wife Susannah Clover, 116 acres, on Sleepy Creek, adjacent to Thomas Dent and granted to John and James Dougherty, by "Francis Wagoner of Berkeley County;" witnessed by William Smith, John Hoyel, George Creamer.²

NoteB

On 21 August 1781, Francis "Waggoner," William Smith and Frederick Duckwall witnessed the will of Jacob Hoyle (Will Book No I, pages 261-262, and on 17 January 1782, Francis and George Creamer appraised the estate of Jacob Hoyle.³

Milit-Beg*

He began military service in 1782 at Berkeley, Virginia, appeared on the roster of the Militia of Berkeley County, Virginia, First Battalion 1782, name is transcribed as "Wagener."⁴

Tax List*

He appeared on the personal property tax list of 1782 at First Battalion, Berkeley, Virginia; 100 acres, spelled "Waggoner."⁵

NoteB

He appeared on the Berkeley property tax list of 1788 as Francis "Waggener" and was assessed for one horse.

NoteB

On 29 April 1796, Francis "Waggener" and Frederick Duckwald appraised the estate of Abraham Fry.⁶

Death*

He died in 1804 at Morgan, Virginia; He appears in the 1804 property tax listing, but in the land record, presumably at a later date in the year, is listed as "Francis Waggoner Ex.," i.e., Executor for Francis Waggoner.⁷

Morgan County, January 31, 1824:
Heirs of Solomon Smith:
Philip Clover and Anna his wife
Henry Wagner and Rachel his wife
John Sherrard and Tabitha his wife
John Smith of Frederick County, VA
of the first part, to:
Peter Michael of the second part.

This seems to demonstrate that Philip, Henry and John married daughters of Solomon Smith, who I believe was the son of William Smith. Henry Wagner is the son of Francis Wagner. I knew Henry's wife's first name was Rachel, but not her last name. Something in the back of my mind tells me that the Philip Clover above was the son of the Philip Clover who sold the 113 acre tract on Sleepy Creek to Francis Wagner in 1781.
