In the 1880 Miami Co census Jacob Wagner said he was born in PA, and so were both his parents. In the same census, Susan said she was born in PA, but her parents were born in Germany.My grandmother was told by her mother (my great grandmother Nora Katherine Walker who was granddaughter of Susan Arnold Wagner) that Susan spoke German. I descend from Katherine (Wagner) Walker, sister to your John Wagner.Their oldest sister, ELizabeth Wagner, was born in Hamilton County Indiana.So, Jacob & Susan must have been there first before moving to Elkhart.I have found Wagners in both places, but have not been able to connect them to Jacob. Have you been able to locate an obituary for Jacob or Susan? Your Great grandfather, Charles Wagner, had a sister named Flora. Flora was third wife to my 2g grandfather Lewis Marion David.She married him about 1901 in Cass County MO. Flora's and Charles' father, John, lived nearby where Lewis David lived at that time.Lewis David died in Cass County in 1925.Do you know when and where Flora died?
