A
letter written by Mrs. Lucy White of Madison County,

moved to Barren County, Kentucky) on September 28, 1809 stated that she was his
“affectionate sister” and added that “Mother sends her love to you all” HI12. This indicates that Ann (Jones) Waggener was alive in
September 1809 HI12. A letter written by
Richard and Caty Waggener to Reverend Richard Gaines in Abbeville, South
Caroline (this was Caty’s brother) on September 19, 1816 or 1817 stated that
“old Mother Waggener… died last April” HI12,
which indicates that the death of Ann (Jones) Waggener occurred in April 1816
or 1817.
