My great grandfather is Peter Wagar spelled Weegar on his stone in the Copley twp cemetery in Summit County Ohio near Akron.Peter was born in Ontario and my research supports Williamsburg Ont.He appeared in Akron area about 1845 and died there in 1907.
Interesting that the Francisco name appears in Peter's will and the name is in the same cemetery.
The index to this cemetery is online and I have read the listings at the DAR library.
Ruth Wagar married Frank Reynolds.Her grandfather was Peter.Ruth would be my grandmother . I have no idea when she died or if she remarried.She was a widow in early 30's.Last record of her in 1930 census in Chicago. The court had already taken my father her only child from her.
