Jacob and Fannie: Their Eleven Children


It's sometimes crazy trying to keep all these people sorted out. I’ve been studying my sources to be sure all the facts were as accurate as possible before posting the children of Jacob and Fannie. So, I’ve discovered two mistakes: (1) Flavius G., age 2, from the 1880 census, I’m sure should be Franklin G. The name was not erroneously transcribed; it’s clearly Flavius G. But there is no record of Flavius anywhere else. There are, however, many records of Franklin Green Wagner, who was born 25 December 1877 and would have been 2 when the 1880 census was taken, but his name is missing—but not really. I’m certain that it was recorded incorrectly. Most of his life, he was called Green. (2) Minnie Kate had a twin who died that I overlooked. So here’s the list.

Known Children of Jacob A.4 Waggoner and Frances Josephine “Fanny” Kirby

11       x          PETER S.5 WAGGONER born 29 May 1872, Bland County[1]; died 30 May 1901 in Washington County, Virginia.[2] He married, 29 January 1898, Maggie Blanche Murrell, b. 1874,[3] daughter of C.C. and Sarah Murell.[4] They had one daughter.

13       xii        JACOB SMITH5 WAGGONER born 26 Sep 1875, Bland County; died 18 April 1956, Washington County.[9] Married, 5 June 1899, Thea Virginia Yates daughter of John and Virginia Yates.[10] They had one known daughter.

14       xiii       FRANKLIN GREEN5 WAGGONER born 25 Dec 1877, Bland County; 23 May 1958, Washington County.[11] He married, 18 Dec. 1901, Jennie Witt, b. 28 May 1878, d. 28 Dec. 1965, daughter of John and Mary (Deskins) Witt.[12] They had four known children. Green's granddaughter, Margaret Wagner Allen, is the one who provided much of the information on Fannie's children for the Adam Waggoner Family book. She has also sent me many photos and other information on Jacob Waggoner's family. In 2004, she gave me a grand tour of Kelly's Chapel Cemetery and showed me the property where Jacob and Fannie lived near Emery and Henry College.
