Research Notes

• Birthyear of 1851 as listed on LDS Pioneers website cannot be correct, as his father died in 1845 and his mother remarried in 1847. He had to have been born within nine months of his father's dead, or his last name would not have been 'Waggle'. Probably a simple transcription error; an estimated birthyear of 1841 seems most likely in view of the birthdates of his siblings.
