I have recently discovered that members of my extended Wager family that settled in the Finger Lakes region of New York from New Jersey, apparently migrated to St. Tammany Parish in Louisiana (some of them even stopped off in Indiana before swinging down to Louisiana). Researchers of the Wager family in Louisiana inform me that two Wager lines appear on the 1850 census in St. Tammany Parish: D. D. Wager (Daniel Dickerson Wager) and E. S. Wager (Ezra Swayze Wager). Marriage records confirm that at least Daniel Dickerson Wager was born in New Jersey, and the son of Ezra Wager Sr. and Mary Swayze. There is a wealth of information about the New Jersey Wager family if you believe you tie into it (looks as if you do).
