Hi,

I'm having trouble with this fellow. First here's what I know:

According to his death record he was born 28 Feb 1835 in Illinois. The
1860 census say he was from Germany. The 1870 census says he was from
Ohio. The 1880 census says he was from IL and his parents were from
Europe. I don't know anything about his parents.

He married to Elizabeth Huber on 19 Sep 1858 at Waterloo. He was a
blacksmith in Waterloo for the rest of his life. He died 28 Feb 1887.

The IL Land Sale Database shows John Adam Wagner purchasing Federal land
near Waterloo (section 9 of 2S 9W) in 1835. The 1840 census shows a John
A Wagner with a male child Philipp's age.

I'm assuming for now that he was indeed born in Illinois in 1835. What
early records might document this?
