The Ship "St.Andrew", John Stedrnan, Master, brought 89 Palatines,with their families, in all 261 persons - from Rotterdam, last from Plymouth, Eng.Christopher Wiegner headed the list of signers of the Oath of Allegiance"at Philadelphia, 12 Sept. 1734.

He signed his name in a distinct and well educated German script.The majority of passengers-were Weigners (or Wiegners - Jakels - Kriebles - Dresnersand they all more or less intermarried.The whole colony, apparently, settled in and around Norriton Tp.,Phila. Co., Pa.

Abraham Wagener (apparently a brother of the eldest Christopher Weigner)sent his wife and children on this ship with Christopher and Anna. He,' himself,came on the same ship in Sept. 1757. (The only Wagener on that trip.)This Abraham Wagener and his wife Susanna were living in Norriton,Phila.Co.in 1745 - he a "yeoman". They were living there in 1749.Susanna, with children: Melchior - over 16 in 1754* Abraham -under 16 in 1754George - " 16 " "Susanna - who later m. Christopher DresnerMaria - who later m.

Apparently Christopher(1) Weigner and Baltzer(l) fakel eceived earlygrants of land from Caspar Wistar who was one of the early grantees of the State -.(or an early grant) - for in December 1745 - both of them having died - and the landhaving descended to George Jackel (son of Baltzer(l)) who had married Regina, daughterof Christopher(1) Weigner before coming to America - said George Jackel having alsodied before Dec. 1745 - his (George's) Executors (one of whom was Abraham Weigner,apparently brother of Christopher(1))j end his "Mother, Regina Jackel" and "hisMother in Law Anna Wagener of Norriton, Widow" - confirmed this land to Christopher(2Y eigner - 106 acres in Sslford Township (which adjoined Norriton) in Phila. co., bya Deed dated 25 Dec. 1745 - the said land "in his actual possession now being".

The above land was part of 170 acres granted to Baltzer Jackel inMarch 175b - six months after he arrived in Pennsylvania. He died beforeFeb. 17-59..tad it might well be that the first Christopher Wiegner had died veryshortly after arriving in Pennsylvania which would account for the descendantof Judge David Wagnerwho traced his line, stating that "The 'Widow Anne ?/agner withtwo sons, Christopher and David, came to Pennsylvania from Silesia". The ships'lists where not available when he wrote his account of Judge David's line - orelse he did not know about them.Christopher(1) Wiegner must have had some interest in that land, or hisWidow Anna would not have had to confirm the transfer of it.The next transfer of this land was made, 29 April 1769 - fromChristopher(2) Wagner, weaver, and his wife Anna(Jackel) to their son Christopher(5),yeoman - both Christophers then being "of Lower Salford in the c ounty of PhiladelphiThis deed was acknowledged by Christopher(2) and tana his wife, 19 Dec. 1771.The deed was for the full 106 acres.Next: 24 June 1776,"Christopher Weegner Jr., of Springfield TownshipBucks County, Miller" and "Catharine his Wife" - sell to William Yocum of LowerSalford, Phila.

And that seems to be the last of Christopher(5) Wagener in PhiladelphiaCounty,la July 1776, he was "of Springfield Tp., Bucks County, Pa."Did he go from Bucks County to Berks County? - or was he the

Christopher Waggoner who died in Philadelphia in 1805 - whose widow Catharinedied there in 1812? The Christopher of Philadelphia was a "Grocer" - he wasin the Philadelphia Directories from 1785 to 1805; there is no land deed in hisname, but his widow Catharine bought the house where they had been living, after hisdeath. Note; I rather doubt this Christopher Waggoner's connection, but it is

a possibility GO be considered.There was no Christopher in Bucks County, in 1790 - but there was one right nextdoor in Northampton Co.

However, the Christopher Waggoner of Northampton County in 1790 -with a John Tfeiggoner and a Philip Waggoner living close by, was probably the"Jn Christof6 Wagner, aged 4 0" who came in the Ship "Winter Gaily", Edward Painter,Coroander. who arrived at Philadelphia and Qualified (signed Oath of Allegiance)5 Sept. 1738. With him came a Philip Wagener, aged 20, a Johan Wagener aged 16 anda Peter Wagener aged 16.

To off-set that; the 1790 Census of Bern Tp., Berks County, showss"Christ1" Wagner Senr"nCathn Wagner"(apparently a widow, as she is listed with a family of

1 male over 163 males under 16

(who coulo. have been widow of Christopher(,3) Wagner and somother of your Christopher who went to Horthumberland Co.)"Philip Wagner""John Waggoner"

Note: Only by examining the records of Berks and Northampton counties can theabove be proven or disproven. F.M.Z.

An Abraham Wagener did go out to Berks Co. from Phila. Co. about that time.

I am very much interested in this work and would be only too gladto help you in whatever way I can. but"I feel that you have quite a bigjob on your hands when you consider the many Wagners that landed inthis country. Have you contacted any of the folks now living in Snydercounty, Pennsylvania? I find that at times one can do more in that wayas some of the older folks still have some of those old family biblesin their possession.

Dr. Charles A". Fisher, F.I.A.G., of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania,would be the party who you should get in touch with, (that is if he isstill alive for I myself have not been in touch iclth him since 1942)it was he who compiled many records of Wills, etc., of Snyder countyand I have several of his books and the names written in ink on myslips enclosed was taken from some of hisbooks.

If you have any plan of proceedure and feel that this matter canbe worked up I will be pleased to work with you in any way that I can ibut as I have stated before, you have a big job, one which will requireconsiderable travel to some of the court houses and there search therecords, for only in that way do I feel that you will get authenticwork.

Trusting that I may again at some future date hear from you, Iremain,

Yours very truly,Charles B. Dreibelbis,

1632 H, 59th St ree t ,Phil adelphia , (31) Pe

P . S. I suppose that you have access to the records of Morton L. Ifont-gomery of Berks county, as wel l as of the other county hi s tor i es , i fnot and would like to have a {record of some of the work I wi l l be pleasedto copy same, same also of the 1790 census records.

r',7 August 19-5 5.

Dear Mr. Chamberlin:I have been off on a trip, digging intorecords in various parts' of New Hampshire, ana found yourletter here awaiting ay return, the ens. of last week.vrnat a nice time y;.-u mist have had at Sunbuand the other County Seats; T am so glad you could pet there;and you certainly gathered in a lot of information - but,by having your Christopher Wagoner born in 1769, according tohis gravestone at Tiffin, Ohio, and by bavins him come fromBerks instead of Bucks County, Pa,, I am afraid you may haveseparated him from the old Philadelphia County family of ?/agonerwhich had the three Christophers in a row (father, son and

grandson). Maybe not, tho.This 3rd Christopher, who received land fromhis father in 17o that had been granted to his grandfather in1755. was living in Springfield Township, Bucks County in 177.1and 1778 when he sold the land - and then he seems to disappear.The 1780 Census of Bucks County shows no Christopher Wagoner

(of any spelling) in Bucks co.The first, earliest Christopher(1) Fagonercame to Pennsylvania in the Ship "St.Andrew", John Stedr?an,Mastarriving at Philadelphia, 1?. Sept. 1754; and be brought with hima wife Anna, a son Christopher(?) asred Ifiyears or over, a young

son Melchlor, and several daughters.C'riristopher(2) Wagoner married after comingto this country and had a son Christopher(o) who sold the ancestland in Philadelphia County, after he had removed to Rucks Co .It is quite possible, even probable, thatyour Christopher VJaeoner of Berks Co who went on to NorthumberlaCo. and then to Ohio, could have been a son of Qhristopper(5^,but it lioes crowd aees a bit.Christopher(2) WagoneB, if his mother wereborn in 1395 (see enclosed notes), and he had an elder married

sister, which he did, could not have been born much before 1715.He married, apparently about 1757/8. If his son Christopher(5)were born in 1758/9, he could have been the father of yourChristopher born 17J59.Ouite possibly the Christopher Wagoner Sr.of the 1790 Berks Go. census, was the above Christopher (?.);the Catharine Waenerof the same census could have been the

; V - a a

widow of Christopher(5) .and mother of the Christopher who wentto Northumberland county. We need some more work on thatWagner family, to prove it.Your transcripts of deeds in Northumberland

co. show that your Christopher Wagner was of Bern Tp., Berks co.in 1783, when he bought that 100 acres of land on the North Branchof Middlecreek "no?/ in Northumberland co.", and that he musthave been in Northumberland co. in 1789 when he recorded it.Also, the second deed shows that he was living there in 1791.The Northumberland census of 1790 shows a"Stophel Waggoner" -(Christophel) - with Z males over 16 and1 female in his family - ana living in the section I know to beBuffalo and White Deer Ups.from other familiar names in the list;so this must be your Christopher who went there from Bern Tp.Berks co. 3ut all of the above "could be" will have to beproved by Berks county records.I have been doing a whale of a lot of diggingon your possible Wagener families in the past three days, sinceI received your letter - going through all the ships' lists again,and all of my Philadelphia notes with a fine-toothed comb - andsome old German newspaper^ records which I have just come across -and there are too many Christophers around. There was a Jh" Christofe V/agener, aged 4 0,with a Philip Wagener aged 2 0, and a Johan Yagner and a PeterWatoener both aged 16, who came in the ship "Winter Gaily",Edward Painter, Commander, 5 April 1738.There was another Christof Wagener who camein the Ship "Restoration", Capt. James Hall, 9 Oct. 1747.One of these two, apparently, settled inLower Saueon Tp., Northampton Co., and married, before 1766, adaughter of Andrew Filtzinger (who came in 1733) of the sametown. This particular Christopher, son-in-law of AndrewFiltzinger, was an Innkeeper of Lower Saueon Tp. in 1755. (Foundthis in the old German newspapers.) Andrew Filtzinger's will,which I picked up in Philadelphia, names his son-in-law ChristopherWagener of Lower Saueon Tp/ And the Northampton co. census of1790 shows a Christopher, a John and a Philip Waggoner.The other one of the two may turn ouc to bethe Christopher Wagoner Sr. of the Northumberland co. census.There were also Vvagoners in Lancaster county.

,, And due to the fact that your Rockeys came frpm Lancaster county,

it is quite possible that your Christopher Wagoner came fromthere also . I still lean toward the Philadelphia County familybut a doubt or two is creeping in.The Germans from phila. 6 0 . mostly movedup into Bucks and Northampt on, and many of their descendants

are there to this day.The Germans from Lancaster Co . were the oneswho moved up into Berks (which then included the present SchuylkCo.) and Northumberland, ana then fanned out westwar d.Yes, more work roust be done on your Wagonerline before I can give it the green ligh t.My suggestion would b e to let me pick upthe trail from Berks County ana work back fi-ora there. By doingthat, we should be able to prove i t, one way or the other,I take it you did not stop at Readin g? Records there are prett

good, if one takes time to dig far enough - and there a re manyearly church records of Berks County to be found.Have you any idea of the date and place ofmarriage of your Christopher Wagoner to Sarah E . Rocky? ?;ashor name Sarah Elizabeth? It a s an unusual combination forthat period.There were quite a number of early Wagoner-Waggoners in Lancaster Count y: - an Andre?/ (probably the onewho came in 175 3, aged 45y .) died there in 1758 j a Jacob diedthere in 17 60 . And .an Adam Waginer was "of Derry Township,Lancaster County" in 1757 (old German newspapers). He died ._there in 17 77 . His will, at Lancaster, would be worth lookingu p , for t he Derry Tp. of Lancaster Co. of those days is thepresent Derry Tp. of Dauphin C o. today - just ea st of Harrisburgand o nly one jump from Middle' Creek in N orthumberland Co .There wa s also a Christian Wagener livingin Lancaster Co. , 1748 - which is interesting, in view of thefact that a Christian Waggoner was one of the purchasers, withyour Christopher fJaggoner, of articles from John Rockey's estate .I happen to own a copy of the Index of Willsand Administrations of Lancaster County, and in th at I find

eight Waginer-Wagoner-Waggoner probate records before 1795;eight more between 1795 and 1 8 4 8 i. / \Of the R ockeys , there are the following: _William Rock - Adm. 1784 _Henry Rockey - Will. 17S0Henry Rockey - Adm, 1796 ~~~~

It is possible that you may find earlier Hockeys in Philadelphia.The 1790 census of Lancaster County shows

that Henry and Jacob Hockey were then in Bart Township and thata Philip Hockey was in Sadsbury Township. William Hockey wasin Northumberlandj a Windle Rocky in York Co.; and a Peter Rocklein Northampton Co.

I have been working like a beaver ever sinceyou were here - and I am very sorry I was not at home when youreturned my notes , so that I might have had the pleasure oftalking with you again - and next week I sfcart off on a shortvacation up into the lake region of New Hampshire. I need it.In October I plan to go to Pennsylvania - and now that the gasban is off, I am apt to stay over there for a while and do a lotof real searching that could not be accomplished before. Thereis always work for me to do over there, tho the majority ofthis spring and summer's work has kept me in New England - andnorthwestern Pennsylvania was "home" for a good many years.

In your work, I can pick up the badk trailof your Hockeys in Lancaster County - where the records are alsogood if one. digs far enough; go on to Reading, to pick up theback trail of your Waggoners of Berks County; and then, if itseems necessary, Sunbury is only a. short drive away. I shallprobably be going up into that country anyway, on other possiblework - tho most of what I need to do right now is out throughthe lower tier of Pennsylvania counties.Did you visit the little Genealogical Library

at Simbury? I have picked up quite a few clues there, at varioutimes. We wont give up the possibility of the Phila. Co. Wageneyet; but in the face of those other Christophers, we just naturaldo have to search the records at Lancaster and Reading. So Ihope you will tell me to go ahead. The separate notes I amenclosing aro all of the Phila. Co. family - ana it may turn outto be the one your Christopher belongs to, yet. The Jakel endof that family will bear more searching, And the records ofMontgomery Co - which was set off from Phila. in 1784 and in whicthe Wagner and Jakel grants were situated. BUT - lat's pick up trail in Berks Co. and work back; then we can be sure and will nowaste time.
