Herbert Waggoner (John, Rachell) was the son
of John and Rachel Waggoner HI12, FL3. As “harbert Waggoner”,
he was named in his father’s will dated February 12, 1715/6 FL3 and as “herbert Waggner”, he was named in his mother’s will dated April 6,
1717 VI13. Herbert married
Elizabeth and was the father of John, Ann, Mary, James Herbert, Elizabeth,
Thomas, Sophia, Greensbe, Reuben, and Edmond Waggener VI13.
Herbert’s eldest son John
Waggener was mentioned in a Culpeper County, Virginia deed dated August 19,
1771 which stated that John was the eldest brother of Thomas and Edmund Waggener,
who had already died CU4:
This Indenture made the 19th day of August in the year of our Lord one thousand seven
hundred and seventy one Between John Waggener of the County of Culpeper eldest
brother and Heir at Law to Thomas Waggener late of Culpeper in the first
Virginia Redgment & to Edmund Waggener late Ensign in the said Redgment now
both decd. of the
one part and Andrew Waggoner of he County of Frederick oldest son of the said
John Waggoner…
James Waggoner was Herbert’s second son HI12. Ann Waggoner married
someone with the surname “Greenhill” HI12,
VI13. Mary
Waggoner married John Evans HI12,
VI13.
Elizabeth Waggoner may
have been the Elizabeth Waggoner of South Farnham Parish in Essex County who
was mentioned in a bond made by William Sears of Drisdale
Parish, King and Queen County, Virginia on July 19, 1749 for £200, which was
witnessed by Nathaniel Pendleton, Thomas Waggener, and Reuben Waggener FL3. William Sears stated in this bond that he would remit fifty
pounds by the following July 19 “For the keeping the Child Sarah Waggener one
year” FL3. William Sears of Saint Ann’s Parish in Essex County wrote his
will on May 17, 1752, which stated “my will and Desire is that my Estate of
Negroes Cattle and hoggs be kept together for six years after my decease and
what money is rais’d 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 same County” FL3. If Elizabeth, the daughter of Herbert and Elizabeth, was the
same individual mentioned in Williamt Sears’ bond and
will, then it appears that she married a son of William Sears who died before
1749, and with him had a daughter named Sarah.
Greensbe Waggener may have been the Greensby Waggoner who married Sarah
Mitchell in 1786 HI12. He may also have been the Greensby
Waggoner whose death occurred in or before 1798 in Culpeper County, Virginia,
as the inventory of his estate was conducted in that year and recorded at the
Culpeper County Court on October 16, 1798, in which Reuben was listed as an
administrator CU22. An account
of the sales of the estate of Greensby Waggoner occurred on March 15, 1798, so
his death was before that date CU22.
Edmund Waggoner was
in Captain Peter Hog’s Company in the Virginia Regiment from the end of May
until the end of July in 1754, and in September 1754 BO32. He may have been the Ensign Edmund Waggener who was said to
have been killed in battle at Braddock’s Defeat BR23. A warrant for 1000 acres of land was issued to Edmund Taylor,
who was the assignee of Andrew Waggoner, who himself was the heir of Edmund
Waggoner BO32.
Herbert lived in South Farnham Parish in Essex County,
Virginia VI13. South
Farnham Parish was located south of Rappahannock River GA4. Originally, there were two districts which were referred to as
“North Farnham” and “South Farnham”, as they straddled the Rappahannock River
in what is now called “Old” Rappahannock County, but about thirty years after
that county was split into Richmond and Essex counties, the parish districts
were called St. Anne’s and South Farnham GA4.
South Farnham was located southwest of Tappahannock and on the south side of
Hoskins’ Creek GA4. Herbert Waggener, John Bryson, and William Greenhill
were witnesses to the inventory of the estate of John Meador which was
conducted on June 13, 1720 and returned to the court in Essex County, Virginia
on July 19, 1720 DO24.
Herbert Waggener died in 1743; his will, witnessed by
Benjamin Waggener and John Allen, Jr., was dated August 2, 1743, and was proved
in an Essex County Court on September 20, 1743 VI13:
