There is no mention of a John Jr. in his will. Also, in those days, a nephew or other relative might be called Jr. --it wasn't always a son.
From VIRGINIA COLONIAL ABSTRACTS, VOLUME II, ESSEX COUNTY, WILLS AND DEEDS 1714-1717:
Page 523: Will of John Waggener of Essex County Dated 12 Feb. 1715/16. Probated 15 May 1716.

Negro Martin to son Benjamin. The negro girl Jugg to son Sam'l Wagoner. To "my son herbert Waggoner one Cow being in full of his portion". To sons Sam'll and Benjamin, beds and personal property. To "my daughter Dinah Allen wife of Erasmus Allen one Cow". Other bequests of personal property to children named above. Bal. of Est. to wife, she exor. Signed John Waggoner.

(Note: in regard to the above will there are these indefinable indications that Herbert Waggoner and Dinah allen are not going to fare so well, and then to ease the sense of just distirubtion additonal detail is left to them. As an experienced devisee I know the signs all too well.. B.F. )
