Hans "John' Waggnor was the father of Susannah Waggoner Camp who married Thomas Camp and the mother of Nancy Camp who married Job Smith. He is said to have come to Phildelphia in America from Rotterdam , the Netherland , aboard the Pink Plaisance which docked Sept 1732. He is very elusive in pinpointing his age and dates he married. For instance , one source gives he was born 1720, but if that is so , he was only twelve years old when he arrived. Some say his first wife died in Pennslyvania before he journeyed to the Carolina and was a squatter what is now Forsythe County , North Carolina in where now stand s the community of Bethabara, (old town )where he built a sturdy log cabin.He then moved to Yadkin, but along came the first Moravian Settlers into Bethabara and found the cabin in 1753. There is a reproduction of the cabin now in Bethabara Park. Waggoner and his children joined the Mobley(Moberly) family caravan as it came about 1758 . They were moving to South Carolina from Maryland . He is said to have gone with them because he felt they were "genteel" and he wanted his girls so raised . He settled on the Reedy Branch of Beaver Creek of Broad River in Craven County now Chester and Fairfield Counties. .

He was worried about protecting his daughters from the Indians so he built a fort for them. He married again. Some say as many as 5 times and had more children. He was still living as late as 1778 when he was named on a jury list for 1778-1779. A family history book on the Kennamer family states he belonged to the Beaver Creek Congregation. He is said to come sometime after the families of Cannamore, Miller and Free came. They were united in communion in July 1759. The first minister was Rev. David Martin.

The Beaver Creek congregation was so called from a little brook running into the Broad River on the edge of Craven County about 180 miles NNW from Charleston.

From the History of Fairfield Countty there are several deeds to Samuel Mobberly (Mobley) yeoman on the N. side of Broad river 1770 on Beaver Creek and 2 in 1772 by (Hans Wagner) John Waggoner, miller 150 acres on Little River bounded by lands of William Alls and Richard Spencer witnessed by Selah Delashmet .and John Halsey.

From another source, it is stated that soon after their arrival in South Carolin, Jans Wagner and the Mobberlys participated in the wars with the Cherokee Indians He constructed a strong fort of white oak logs, hewn 12 inches square and when there was danger from the Indians , all the neighbors gathered for protection. The had meat from hunting and bread was brought by pack mules from the Congaree. From Mills Atlas , Ft Waggoner (Wagner) is down Hwy 215 from Feasterville One mile east at Junction of Beaver Creek and Reedy Branch built in 1760 by Hans Wagner as a refuge against the Indians

The Fairfield County History gives Marie Delashmette as the wife of a Hollander , Hans Wagner, early as 1754. From another source, it is stated he was married 5 times, the names of two are not known. 1. Unknown wife who died before the Carolinas ; supposedly one son 2. Marie Delashmette ca 1754? Had Mary who m. Samuel Mobley, Sr. (Mary is said in one source as born in 1743 so problem there? That would have meant she was daughter of first wife and born before South Carolina. 3.

He is said to be buried in the old Hans Waggoner graveyard a few hundred feet northwest of Beaver Creek of Broad river about 3/4 mile above point where Highway 215 crosses Beaver Creek.
