Notes

History of Lexington

The Lexington area was at least sparsely settled by Europeans in 1775. The settlers named their community in honor of Lexington, Massachusetts, the site of the first skirmish of the American Revolutionary War. Lexington was incorporated as a city in 1828.Until the late 1990s, Lexington's economy was mainly textile and furniture manufacturing-based. Since then, most local manufacturers have moved their production facilities to Asia and Mexico as a way to reduce costs and remain competitive in a global market. This caused the closure of most textile and furniture factories and has contributed to economic difficulties for a community that was heavily dependent on these two industries for employment. Silver Hill Mine, located a few miles south of Lexington, opened in 1838, and was the first operating silver mine in the country.^[8]

Name Variations

The name is written as Wagner in the book by Mrs. David G. Koch, Old Lutheran Church Records, 1787-1848. In the will of Daniel's father, it is written Waggoner.^[9]. The name is also found written as Wagnor.

Author Unknown

As you look at the genealogy of this family you will find that they intermarried with each other. One reason being is that the community in which they lived were mainly Germans and for that they became clannish.

Daniel^[10] and Eve received inheritances from their parents in the form of land, money and slaves. Sometime before 1820 they moved from North Carolina to Lincoln County, Tennessee
