Any one who bears the name Waggy or Wagy can be traced directly to Philip
Waggy Sr.
"Centennial History of Licking County, Ohio" by Brister, 1909; has this
account of Philip Waggy: "Philip Waggy Sr. was born in Germany and one of
a colony from Amsterdam, Hlland which settled in Virginia about the year
1706." ( this is most likely inaccurate or there may be another Philip
Waggy, the death of Philip Waggy Sr. being 1812 or 1814 would mean he
lived to be about 116 if he was no more then 10 yrs. old when he
arrived.) the account also list five sons, six daughters and that he
served in the Revolutionary War.
"West Virginia and It's People" state: "Philip Waggy came from Germany
probably about 1740."
220 acres of land was granted Philip in 1783 in Rockinghm Co. Va, this we
know because of court records from Rockingham, Co. Va. Court House.
This was believed to be southwest Harrisonburg and west Bridgewater Va.
Howell's Creek mentioned in the survey papers of Philips land is believed
to be part of Beaver Creek, which is presently called Woods Creek. It
comes out of Wheelbarger Hollow above Ottobine, Va. on old maps this
creek was Waggy Creek.
from a letter written by James Wagy:
"..There is a church located near Ottobine, Va where some very old graves
are located. ...The graves of many families that [adjoined Philips land]
have plots in the cemetary, many dating to the 1800's. The cemetary is
located down the creek from the farm and the farm is visible form the
cemtary. Here [could be the] burial place of Philip and Susannah Waggy.

[NI584] Pendleton Co. 1850 Census had Elizabeth head of household, so we know Isaac has passed on by 1850.

Commodore's father was drafted but due to the custom of the time, if he
could provide and alternative he did not have to serve. He had several
small childred by his second wife, and asked his son, Commodore Perry to
serve in his stead. Commodore was only 14 and was taken prisoner by the
Confederates on his way to enlist. He spent 18 months in Andersonville,
GA prision camp. This is not possible to verify because the prison
records were distroyed by the Commandant before his trial for cruelty and
corruption.
His father's name was given as Philip, but Commodore Perry is the first
son of Philip and Sarah's first son. This most probably is not Philip
for 2 reasons: 1) Philip is the sixth son of Philip & Sarah.
2)Philip did serve in the war during 1862-1863 and was discharged
disabled.
