goodwood wagg family history i m by elsanor todd the following was prompted by the report of dora mrs john may and dan waggs 90th birthday celebration in last weeks tribune when dan wagg left in 1975 the hamlet of goodwood was without waggs for the first time since 1869 when dans uncle frank built the mcneil house and 1 became a storekeeper who also issued marriage licences as a sideline actually it might just as easily be said that goodwood is now without waggs for the first time in its history since the wagg settlement on the 20th sideroad was always considered a part of the goodwood settlement and dans great uncle john who arrived in 1842 was among the first to settle this section north of the old indian trail which became highway 47 john wagg- and dans grandfather thomas wagg and a cousin john had arrived in upper canada from norfolk england in 1836 and settled in scar borough but tom returned to england to get married in the fall of 1837 his travelling companions down the st lawrence were the soldiers sir francis bond head was sending to quell the disturbances in lower canada thus ignoring the pleas of his advisors who warned that there were about to be a few disturbances in upper canada too and the soldiers would be needed at home it is doubtful that the two johns who remained in scarborough got in volved ip our infamous rebellion since the waggs were a peaceloving family having im migrated to england from germany a generation earlier to escape the violence there certainly neither of the johns appear in the lists of those arrested during or following the rebellion thomas returned to scarborough with his young family in 1842 and joined his brother john on the 20th sideroad in 1848 and cousin john along with his brothers tom and george and their families all 3 had recently married johnston girls who lived on the farm next door left scarborough and joined them in 1850 with two john waggs in the township officials distinguished between them by calling one big john wagg and the other little john wagg by 1860 john and toms parents william and violet wagg and two more brothers frank and george had joined them as well as cousin william brother to the other john allan mcgillivray who is a wagg descendent estimates that 99 per cent of all the waggs in canada have ancestors who spent some time at the goodwood settlement he says he met a wagg from newfoundland that he hasnt been able to tie in with the othersyet waggs became members and consistent workers in all three goodwood churches beginning with the anglican congregation and later in both the baptist and methodist churches they took an interest in township af fairs both frank and colman sons ofthomas served as township treasurer cousin thomas h wagg was the goodwood constable for a number of years and cousin tom wagg jr johns grandson james wagg dan wagg and his father isaac wagg served terms on council isaac also served two years as reeve some- of the waggs went into business but most often in our area they were known as excellent farmers the first generation winning prizes for their horses cattle and sheep at the uxbridge township agricultural fairs and in later years the john wagg farm was the first in this area to use a self rake reaper a self bin der and a combine to johns great grandson herb goes the distinction of driving the first tractor over the weigh scales at the goodwood elevator much to the consternation of those in charge the scales survived the test although many waggs moved on to areas such as scott pickering whitchurch mount albert markham manitoulin is manitoba and michigan in 1900 waggs were still farming 1243 acres in uxbridge township they must have been good farmers for over half of those acres on which they developed prosperous and
