Philip Waggoner | (ca.1770-ca.1850) | of DuBois County |
This family is believed to be unrelated to the Waggoner Family of Lawrence County and the North Part of Martin County. Any Waggoner research in Martin County must deal with both families for the sake of clarity. The name has been variously spelled Waggoner, Wagoner, and Wagner. My impression is that more members of this family used the Wagoner spelling. For purposes of intelligible indexing however, I use the Waggoner spelling in my files for both families.
It is believed that the progenitor of this line is Philip Waggoner who first appears in records in 1800 in Fayette County,KY. He came to DuBois County,IN in the 1830's. According to verbal family tradition amongst his descendants, his father was Gottlieb Waggoner, a Hessian soldier fighting for the British in the Revolution.
We invite examination of his record:
