Wagner
Near St. Michael's Church in Bern Twp. (now Tilden Twp.) warrants were issued between 1750 and 1755 to George Wagner, Christopher Wagner, and Jacob Wagner. Near Shartlesville a George Wagner received a warrant on Apr. 26, 1753 and another in 1755. A George Wagner received a tract near the mountains north of Shartlesville in about 1790. Frederick V. Wagner received one in this region, but that was in 1862.
GEORGE WAGNER, SR., near St. Michael's Church, had a son, CHRISTOPHER, and a daughter, MARGARET. He probably was the father of JACOB and GEORGE. Margaret was the wife of Simon Clauser b. Feb. 24, 1746. She sold her inherit- ance from her father, George Wagner, to her brother, Christopher, in 1777, "one-half part of a mill with water rights and a piece of land of 12 acres" (Dd. Bk. B-3:54 Berks Co. C. H.). This proves that Christopher and Margaret were children of George who probably died in about 1776. The mill was the Wagner Mill later known as the Fishbach Mill near the present (1958) George Wagner place. It was one of the mills 'on the stream then known as Kauff- man Creek. Christopher's land was next to St. Michael's,

WAGNER; daughters, JULIANA,
ELIZABETH, KLARA, and MAGDALENA.

KLARA WAGNER was born July 13, 1773 (St. Mich. Ch.).

Coats of Arms
The last few generations in Europe of families who came to the colonies must have been too preoccupied with their problems of religious and economic persecutions to have had an interest in anything so trivial as a coat of arms . Moreover, after their arrival here, the struggle in building a place for themselves in the new world could not have been conducive to the contemplation of family history. It is, therefore, understandable why so many of their descendants have no knowledge of whether or not their families had coats of arms.
It must be remembered that in the seventeenth century there were several hundred German states, each with its royal family, its lesser nobility, its town burgomasters, some with their Imperial Knights and Grand Masters, and various guilds. Since all of these groups had heraldic bearings, it seems logical that many of these early settlers came from families who had enough distinction at some time to possess a coat of arms, although the need and use of them had died out before they came to the colonies.
