Jacob and Anna

Born September 16, 1826,[1] Jacob Waggoner was one of the fourth generation of descendants from a German immigrant named Adam Waggoner (#1) who had settled on the New River in Virginia in 1769.[2] Adam was a contemporary of Henry Harman, Sr. and his brothers. Although frontier struggles and Indian wars were past history by the time Jacob was born, life was not easy for Adam’s great-grandson. Jacob’s father, Elias Waggoner, died in 1832[3] when Jacob, the middle son of three, was just six years old. His mother, Arminta (Nicewander) Waggoner, married a second time in 1836 to Tillman Crockett,[4] and bore two more children. By 1840, Tillman had died and Arminta was once again left to fend for herself and her children.[5] Her home was adjacent to her father’s land in Tazewell County,[6] so she very likely had support from family members. From a young age, Jacob and his brothers, like most children in those days, helped with the farming. In 1850, Arminta and her three adult Waggoner sons, David, Jacob, and Adam E., and two younger Crockett children, Betsy and Daniel, farmed land they owned in Tazewell County, which was worth $135.00,[7] not much even then. The land in the area was, and still is. rocky and difficult to till.

Despite disadvantages, Jacob seems to have developed a risk taking spirit and a sense of responsibility for his community as evidenced by records he left behind. I’ve separated his records into two time periods: those he made while married to his first wife, Anna Harman, and those he made while married to his second wife, Fanny Kirby. This week's blog covers his marriage to Anna.

1853-1871

In 1853, Jacob married Anna F. Harman, daughter of Henry and Famy (Brown) Harman.

Jacob and Anna. c. 1853. Anna’s face is barely discernible, but it’s interesting to note that her hair is done in the style of the day, rather than hanging loosely on her shoulders, as in photo in last week's blog. Most adult women of that day did not go out in public with their hair on their shoulders. Also, her hands appear to be big and work worn, though she is only 19. Is she showing off the ring on her left hand? They appear to be wearing the same clothes as in the other photo. Both pictures were likely taken at the time they were married.

In 1858, Jacob and his father-in-law, Henry Harman, were administrators of the estate of Henry’s mother, Mary Polly (Dunn) Harman and the sale of her personal property,[8] and of the estate of Henry’s father Mathias Harman regarding the sale of four slaves: two men named Pompey (father and son, perhaps?) a girl named Pauline, and woman named Bets and her child who sold as a unit; they were purchased by several of the Harman neighbors.[9]

In 1860, Jacob and Ann were living in Wythe County with four children: Elias, age 5; Eli, age 3; George, age 2; and Alice, age six months. Two additional people live in the household: Daniel Crockett, Jacob’s half-brother, age 18, laborer, and Ellen Cameron, age 13, serving. Jacob owned his farm valued at $2,300.00, and his personal property was valued at $1,000.00.[10] They seemed to be doing well enough.

The Civil War dramatically affected Jacob and Anna, as it did many of their family members  and friends. Anna’s brother George was killed, her brother-in-law, William Bates, died of disease in camp, and her brother-in-law, Andrew J. Hubble, suffered in a prison camp in Ohio for several months. Jacob served in at least three capacities during the war.  (This was detailed in a previous blog.) On 6  September 1861, Jacob received a commission from Virginia Governor John Letcher to serve as a First Lieutenant in the 198^th Regiment of the 25^th Brigade and Fifth Division of the Virginia Militia.[11]  He also served as a Private in the 135^th Regiment, Virginia Militia.[12] Later, he joined Company F, 8^th Virginia Cavalry Regiment, 1 October 1863 – 1 October 1864, signing with his brother-in-law, Captain Hezekiah Harman. He apparently deserted on 1 September 1864.[13]

The family story goes that Jacob contracted an illness during the war. As a result of ineffective treatments he received from military doctors, he began to study medicine and home remedies to treat himself. As a result of knowledge he gained through his research, he began to treat ailing friends and neighbors and became known as a “country doctor.”[14] To give some credence to that story, his name appears twice in a county business directory of Bland County, once among a list of physicians and once among a list of “Principal Farmers” at Point Pleasant.[15]

The war was devastating for Southerners. Nonetheless, after it ended, the people of Bland County worked to restore their communities and their family lives. Jacob Waggoner, Elias Repass, and Felix Buck, acting as Trustees, joined forces with Robert and Margaret Doak for the purpose of building a church and school. On 4 November 1867, Mr. and Mrs. Doak sold an acre of land to the Trustees for the price of $1.00, with stipulations that it be used for educational and spiritual edification.[16] It’s important to note that Jacob Waggoner acted as Justice of the Peace in certifying this transaction.

By 1870, Jacob and Anna had eight children: Elias H, age 16; Eli Pierce, age 14; George W., age 13; Missouri A., age 10; Hezekiah H., age 8; Ardelia Ibbie, age 7; Amanda V., age 3; and Willis Grant, age 1. A domestic servant named Fanny Kirby, age 21,[17] was also living in the home, likely helping Anna with the children and the housework.

The land for the church and school was only the beginning of several land transactions and other court records left behind by Jacob Waggoner. In February 1871, Jacob purchased approximately 197 acres of land in Bland County on Walker Mountain, property on which he already lived, from William H. and Sophia Sprinkle and Hezekiah and Polly Sprinkle. The selling price was $600.00 of which he paid half at that time and the other half was due 1 January 1872.[18] 

Just a few days after purchasing this land, Anna died on 9 March 1871[19] after giving birth to her ninth child, William. About six months later on 24 September 1871, little William also died.[20] Their burial place is unknown.

Anna F. Harman, Mystery Woman

My Grandma Mary’s paternal grandmother Anna F. Harman (daughter of  Henry J. Harman, whose father was Mathias, whose father was Henry, Sr., whose father was the German immigrant, Heinrich Adam) is somewhat of a mystery woman—like her mother Famy Brown. Famy’s unknown parentage makes Anna’s maternal ancestry a mystery, too. Some of Anna’s descendants claim she was half Cherokee. Adamantly claim.

Soon after I learned about Anna’s Harman heritage, I learned about the controversy over Anna’s alleged Cherokee ancestry. Nancy Nash, who co-edited the Adam Waggoner book, wrote me that I was one of only two ancestors of Jacob and Ann who had ordered the book. She gave me contact information for the other person, Fred Cousin (not his real name) who had complained about mistakes in the book, and told me that I might learn more about the family from him. Fred is the only grandson of Anna’s fifth child, Hezekiah Hiram Waggoner, known as HH, which makes Fred a first cousin to my dad and his siblings—or first cousin once removed to me. If fact, I remember visiting Fred’s family in Liberty, Missouri, when I was a kid on one of my family’s summer trips from Nebraska to Virginia.

Fred very graciously responded to my letter by sending me copies of family photos and telling me this about Anna: "Regarding the Indian thing: Mom said her dad (HH), Willis, & George [HH’s brothers] all said AH [Anna Harman] was ½ Cherokee. Ottie, Willis’s [sic] widow told me AH was a legend years after her death. Ottie [neè Buchanan] said she heard lots of stories of AH’s meanness, ferocious temper & Indian Blood. This is from the Buchanans, not the Wagners. Ottie lived to 101, and was alert to the very end."[1]

I’d love to hear the stories Ottie had heard about Anna. None of Anna’s siblings’ descendants have made claims about Cherokee ancestry, it seems, and there’s nothing in their records about it. Nash says there’s no evidence in the records that Anna was ½ Cherokee, and I’ve not found any, either, but my curiosity craves more information. I can’t easily dismiss the testimony of Anna’s three sons and a daughter-in-law. The key is Anna’s mother. Was Famy (neè Brown) Harman Cherokee? When Anna and her siblings were born prior to 1860, it wasn’t such a great thing for people to know you had Indian blood. Not until 1893 when the Dawes Commission formed and started officially enrolling people who could claim descent from one of the Five Civilized Tribes (Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Seminole) and get free land did many people want to claim Native American ancestry. Then many people seemed to remember, "Didn't Grandpa say his mother was Indian--or was it Grandma?" Any time I mention Anna’s possible Cherokee ancestry to other researchers, they rather patronizingly remind me of this.

Anna F. Harman and Jacob Waggoner, possibly their marriage photo, taken about 1853.

 What I do know about Anna is that in the years following her marriage Jacob Waggoner on 6 July 1853,[2] she bore nine children:

1.     Elias Henry, born 4 October 1853[3] just three months after his parents married, likely named for Jacob’s father Elias and for Anna's father Henry;

2.     Eli Pierce, born 25 October 1854[4], father of my Grandma Mary;

3.     George W., born 27 January 1857,[5] likely named for Anna’s brother who was later killed during the Civil War;

4.     Maude Alice, born 16 August 1859[6];

5.     Hezekiah Harman “Hiram," born 27 January 1861,[7] likely named for Anna’s brother Hezekiah;

6.     Ardelia Ibbie, born June 1864[8];

7.     Amanda V., born February 1866[9];

8.     Willis Grant, born 12 January 1869[10];

9.     William Stewart, born 8 March 1871.[11]

With all those children and a husband, who was busy farming, buying and selling land, going off to war, returning in ill health and obsessed with finding a cure for his ailments (more on this next week), perhaps we can imagine why Anna might have been in a nasty mood now and then.

At least, she had a mother’s helper. In 1860, 13-year-old Ellen Cameron served in the home,[12] most likely helping Anna with her four young children. In 1870, 21-year-old Fanny Kirby[13] served as needed. Less than a year later and all too soon, Anna died on 9 March 1871[14] after giving birth to her ninth child, William. The following December, Jacob married Fanny Kirby.[15]

Henry J. Harman's Children: An Active Bunch

The children of Henry J. Harman (son of Mathias, son of Henry, Sr., son of Heinrich Adam) and Famy (Brown) Harman included my great-great-grandmother, Anna. She was number four out of seven children—smack-dab in the middle. Knowing a little about the others helps to shed some light on Anna.

First came Nancy, born 26 November 1827,[1] married in 1850[2] to William H. Bales (b. 29 Jan. 1824).[3] During the next eleven years, Nancy and William had five children: Margaret, Louisa, Eunice, Eli, and Missouri.[4] Then the Civil War started. William signed up Co. B, 21^st Virginia Cavalry, Peter’s Regiment, and in July 1862, he died “at Laurel Fork . . . of fever and bloody flux contracted in service.”[5] About that same time, a sixth child was born: Hezekiah.[6] Left with children ranging in age from newborn to age 10, how did Nancy manage? Somehow, she did. She never remarried and died 16 August 1889 at age 61.[7]

Second came Hezekiah (Hiram), born 9 September 1829.[8] For years, my dad carried an obituary in his wallet that said this man had four horses shot out from under him during the Civil War. In Hezekiah’s service record, I found at least one card to partially validate that story: “His horse rec’d shot in neck in Skirmish at Hawk’s Nest. August 25, 1861 and is rendered worthless. Valuation $160.”[9] He served the Confederacy as a lieutenant in Company B, 8^th Virginia Cavalry, called Smyth Dragoons.[10] After the war, on 30 December 1868, at age 39, he married Serena Dorcas Cole,[11] age 19.[12] They lived near Nebo in Smyth County and had eleven known children.[13] A prominent citizen of Smyth County, Hezekiah served Smyth and Bland counties as representative to the 1879-80, House of Delegates of Virginia. He died in 1923 at the age of 94.[14]

Henry and Famy’s third child, who carried the distinctive name, Jerome Bonaparte, was born 27 December 1831. At age 26, he married Nancy Groseclose (1834-1866) on 16 May, 1858. They had eight known children. He seems to have avoided Civil War service as no records can be found. Jerome was also a “prominent and influential” citizen of Smyth County. He died 15 July 1919, at age 87.[15]

The fourth child, Anna F., born 15 February 1854, married Jacob A. Waggoner, 6 July 1853, when she was 19 years old.[16] Anna was my grandmother Mary’s paternal grandmother. More on Anna next week. Note the similar facial features between Anna and her brothers, Hezekiah and Jerome. Similar features can be seen in photos of some of Anna's children.

Anna F. Harman Waggoner.

Henry and Famy's fifth child was Louisa, born 11 November 1838, married Eli F. Groseclose, 24 February 1858, and had five known children.[17] During the Civil War, Eli served with 36^th Virginia Infantry, Company B; he was “wounded twice, but not disabled.”[18] 

Child number six, George W., was born 9 May 1841. During the Civil War, George served in Company F, 8^th Virginia Cavalry. He was killed in the battle of Cedar Creek near Woodstock, Virginia, in September 1864.[19]

George W. Harman, from Harman Genealogy, p. 160.

The youngest of Henry’s children, Amanda, was likely born to Henry's second wife, Catherine (Leedy) Harman.[20] Amanda was born 28 March 1849.[21] On 20 August 1866, at age 17, she married Andrew J. Hubble, who was about 26, and they had five known children.[22] During the Civil War, Andrew achieved the rank of 2^nd Lieutenant in the 21^st Virginia Regiment. Andrew was captured on 5 June 1864 at Piedmont, Virginia,[23] and sent to Camp Morton prison in Indiana; from there he was sent to Johnson’s Island prison in Ohio on 22 June 1864,[24] from which he was released on oath of allegiance on June 14, 1865.[25] Amanda and Andrew lived out their lives in Rich Valley, Virginia. Andrew died in 1917 and Amanda died 3 January 1935. They are buried at Zion United Methodist Church Cemetery at Nebo, Smyth County, Virginia.

Henry J. Harman's active and industrious family, with all its triumphs and tragedies, nourished and challenged my great-great-grandmother, Anna F. Harman Waggoner, to be the person she became. But just who was she? Next week, I’ll share as much of her story as I’ve been able to piece together.
