Henry Waggoner I

Birth: 1733, Germany Death: 1805 Russell County Virginia, USA

It is believed that Henry Waggoner was born about 1733 and came to America from Germany in about 1751. He settled in Augusta County, Virginia in the part that later became Russell County, Virginia.

Not much is known about him; he is believed to have died in the 1798-1809 timeframe.

In 1774, he served as a private in Capt. Robert Doak's Company of Fincastle Militia that were defending the frontier.

On 6 Feb 1775 Henry Waggoner bought a plantation of 476 acres in Wythe County, Virginia from the original settler John Gillihan. This land was subsequently sold to Jacob Hedrick who sold it to Martin Staley. Martin Staley obtained a certificate for the land on 12 Sep 1782 from the Commissioners of the Loyal Company. Through some clerical error, a patent for this land was issued to Henry Waggoner in 1798. In 1809 Martin Staley brought suit against the estate of Henry Waggoner in Augusta County, Virginia to establish a clear title to his land.
