Classification: Query
Surnames: Francisco, VanDerCook, Wager/Wagar, Shaver, Shafer, Dwelle, Putnam, Dix, Sheldon, Cross, Wheeler
The three eldest daughters of Abraham FRANCISCO and his wife, Hester VAN DER COOK married WAGAR/WAGER men. The names of two of these husbands are known and their lineages have been traced. Unfortunately, the identity of the third man has eluded us and continues to be a major family mystery.
The eldest daughter, Cornelia Francisco (1774-1852), married Eberhard "Ephraim" Wager (1766-1848)and they had eleven children. Both are buried in the Washburn Cemetery, Town of Gorham, Ontario Co., NY. Ephraim Wager was a son of Eberhard and Mary Catherine (SHAVER/SHAFER) Wager.
The third eldest daughter, Sarah Ann "Sally" Francisco (1789-1846), married 1. Philip Wager (1768-1838). They had ten children. (After Philip's death, Sally was briefly married to Lemuel DWELLE, the widower of her younger sister, Laventje.) Philip and Sally are buried in Pine Corners Cemetery, Town of Middlesex, Yates Co., NY. Philip Wagar was a son of Bernhardt and Elizabetha (SHAFER) Wagar.
Now for the Great Family Mystery: We know that the second eldest daughter, Alida "Olive" Francisco (1776-before 1865), married a Wager. Unfortuntely, we have no clue as to who he might have been. Thanks to some very inclusive family probate records, we do have names for at least several of the children resulting from this marriage:
1. Capt. Clark F. Wager (married Lucy Cordelia PUTNAM), died after 1865
2. Sally Wager (married DIX, had a son named Zepheniah or Lepheniah DIX), died before 1865
3. Margaret Wager (married ? SHELDON, had one daughter, Corintha Sheldon), died after 1865
4. David Wager (married unknown, had five children: Aaron C. Wager, Helen Wager [married CROSS], Sarah M. Wager [married WHEELER], Orlando Wager and Alexis Wager [son]), died before 1865.
Unfortunately, the spelling of the Wagar/Wager surname does vary in this particular family. If you'd be so kind as to look though your database for me, please do check under both! If you are related to this line, I can give you your Francisco and VanDerCook family roots back to the immigrant ancestors.
