Note: From the 1820 Federal Census of Frederick County, Virginia page 33; from ancestry.com, image 4 of 8: Richard Waggner; 1 male 26-44 years; 1 female 16-25 years; 1 female slave 14-25 years (I am pretty sure this record is of Richard. I do not know the name of his wife, or any of his children who were apparently born after 1820. It does not appear that Richard is engaged in agriculture, although it does not indicate what occupation he is in. - Rick Waggener) =========== From the 1830 Federal Census of Frederick County, Virginia, Eastern District; from ancestry.com, images #113-114 of 124: Richard Wagner; 1 male under 5 years, 1 male 30-39 years; 1 female under 5 years, 2 females 5-9 years, 1 female 20-29 years; 1 male slave under 10 years, 2 female slaves under 10 years, 1 female slave 24-35 years =========== From a series of transcribed family letters, sent to me by Judy Senter. There is a letter written by Richard's niece, Olive K. Waller (daughter of Stokely Towles Waggener), who is writing from Clarksville, Tennessee on January 26, 1876, to her aunt, Mary Frances (Anderson) Waggener, who was in Hancock County, Illinois. Olive writes about some letters that she has received from one of Richard's sons. I don't have any marriage or family information on Richard, but this shows that there is some, and that he was in touch with the families of his siblings. Olive writes: "...Tell Uncle George and Cousin Ell that we have received several letters from Uncle Dick Waggener's son who lives in Cumberland Co. Virginia. He has sent Pa his likeness, he is a fine-looking man and writes a good letter. He speaks of visiting us next summer, is a Methodist Preacher. He has but two children, boys, who are grown have graduated college and are said to be talented...."
