Early American Marriages: Virginia to 1850. Bountiful, UT, USA: Precision Indexing Publishers: Name: Elizabeth Oneil Gender: Female Spouse Name: John Waggoner Spouse Gender: Male Marriage Date: 2 Apr 1816 County: Rockingham State: Virginia (I am not completely sure that this is the marriage record of James and Elizabeth, as I am not sure what he was doing in Rockingham County. It does match the date I had from other sources for their marriage, but I am not sure that this wasn't the source of those sources. It does seem to fit in time wise with everything else I know about them. By April of 1817, they were in Jefferson County, Kentucky, where their son George was born. -RW) =============== From the Jefferson County, Kentucky Personal Property Tax List for 1811-1825, and sent to me by Crystal Dingler: ****** 1818 Waggoner, James: 233 acres 2nd class land on Mill Creek, original patentee Wm Pope, 1 white male >21, 3 bl males>16, 5 blacks total, 3 horses, mares, etc., land valued at $20/acre, total value $6780. ****** 1819 Waggoner, James: 230 acres on Mill Creek, original patentee Wm Pope, 1 white male >21, 2 bl males>16, 5 blacks total, 4 horses, mares, etc., land valued at $20/acre, total value $6300. ================= The 1820 PPTx List was not shown, but Crystal found this from the 1820 KY Census, I also found it on ancestry.com, listed as being in Jeffersontown; image #3 of 12: Name State County Location Page Year Waggoner, James KY JEFFERSON CO.
