"Caspar Wagener, of Ober-Langneundorf, was in 1719 cited several times to appear for instruction given by the Jesuits. In 1727 he was married by the priest to Anna, and promised to bring up his children in the Catholic faith. He passed throught the trials of the Jesuit mission, probably had his children, Christopher and Anna Rosina baptized into the Catholic faith, and fled to Goerlitz in the winter or spring of 1736, and later to Berthelsdorf. Before the migration of 1737, he was killed, the dauther, Anna Rosina, died, and David was born. The widowed mother with her two sons, Christopher and David, fled to America, arriving in Philadelphia in the ship, 'St. Andrew Galley', John Stedman, master, Sept. 26, 1737. The Wagener families mentioned in connection with the Jesuit mission lived in Harpersdorf and Langneundorf, and were firm, resolute, and fearless Schwenkfelders. Their given names were Caspar, Friedrich, Heinrich, David, Regina, Melchior and George. Anna Wagener and her two sons settled in Worcester Twp., Montg. Co., Pa."
