Life History

Notes

• I have not entered previous generations of the Wagnons in this genealogy, but others have reconstructed the parentage of Andrew Jackson Wagnon.  I include here the report of one of these that is well-done.
  
  =============================================================
  Descendants of Daniel Monroe Wagnon
  
  1. Daniel Monroe1 Wagnon was born 1814 in Greene Co., GA, USA, and died 1859 in Greene Co., GA, USA
  He married (1) Nancy Taylor Lumpkin 1 December 1832 in Ogilthorpe Co., GA. Nancy has been reported to have died in childbirth no doubt giving birth to William S
  He married (2) Martha M. Swindelle 18 December 1834 in Greene Co., GA, USA, daughter of Henry Swindell and Anna.
  
  Notes for Daniel Monroe Wagnon:
  I have census records on Daniel Monroe and Martha (Swindelle) Wagnon in 1850 Greene County, Georgia and of Martha alone with the children in 1860 Census of Green County, Georgia. Also I have the death of Daniel M. from the 1860 Georgia mortality records from microfilm and from a printed source of 1860 Georgia Mortality schedules.
  
  I also have Pittman Monroe's marriage certificates. One with Francis Leaverett and one with Mary Jane Casey, both in Georgia.
  
  I do not know who the parents of Daniel Monroe Wagnon are. It sometimes seems that they are Daniel and Elizabeth and then we hear something like we did from one descendant of Daniel that they only had one child, a daughter, Elizabeth who married Nathaniel Howell. Elizabeth was born a very long time before our Daniel Monroe so it doesn't seem likely that he is their child.
  
  He could also be the child of Thomas Poythress Wagnon who married Elenor Saucer, but again, no evidence.  He could be the son of John Peter Wagnon Sr., but again, no proof.
  
  Children of Daniel Wagnon and Nancy Lumpkin are:
  i. William S. Wagnon, born 4 June 1834 in Greene Co. GA, USA. He married Martha married McLelland 5 July 1860.
  
  Children of Daniel Wagnon and Martha Swindelle are:
  + 3 i Henry George Wagnon, born 1837 in Greene Co., GA, USA.
  + 4 ii. Pittman Monroe Wagnon, born 17 November 1840 in Greene Co., GA, USA; died 28 October 1918 in Tyler, Smith Co., TX, USA.
  5 iii. Hinton C. Wagnon, born 1843 in Greene Co., GA, USA.
  6 iv. James Daniel Wagnon, born 11 October 1845 in Greene Co., GA, USA; died 19 December 1932 in Rush Springs, Grady Co., OK, USA. He married Frances Elizabeth.
  7 v. Thomas Crimley Wagnon, born 1846 in Greene Co., GA, USA.
  8 vi. Phebe Emily Wagnon, born 1847 in Greene Co., GA, USA. She married James M. Moreland 15 December 1870 in Greene Co., GA, USA
  Notes for Phebe Emily Wagnon: Marriage in "Green County Marriages."
  
  + 9 viii. Cornelia Caroline Wagnon, born January 1849 in Greene Co., GA, USA; died in Smith Co., TX, USA.
  10 ix. Thomas J. Wagnon, born 1852 in Greene Co., GA, USA.
  + 11 x. Andrew Jackson Wagnon, born 12 November 1855 in Greene Co., GA, USA; died 10 September 1910 in Stephens Co., OK, USA.
  + 12 xi. Anna A. Wagnon, born 1856 in Greene Co., GA, USA; died 8 August 1933 in Mt. Enterprise, Rusk Co. TX, USA.

  Since the last child reported here was born in Texas in about 1896, we can say they moved to Chickasaw Nation (later Stephens County, Oklahoma) no earlier than 1896.
  
  The Kelly-Winter genealogy lacks requisite documentation for many dates and facts, but provides very credible insider family information, including the full names of the children and the birth and death dates for two additional children including one child who died at age 1 month.
