Wager was named after his mother's first husband, Wager Hull. Quite a few boys from Jamestown were named Wager, after Sir Charles Wager, an apprentice to Captain John Hull of Jamestown. Charles Wager later became an officer in the British Royal Navy and was knighted as Sir Charles Wager. His grave is in Westminster Abbey, London, England.
I have made an assumption that some of the Remingtons from Columbia County, NY, belong to this Wager and his supposed wife Susannah. My reasons are two: his sister Penelope settled there and is there in the 1850 census; and, the name Wager Remington is found in two NY families in 1850/1860. Wager is a name from Jamestown, as noted above.
His wife's name was obtained from Rootsweb's Worldconnect. From later census data it appears that a grandson of Wager & Susannah also married a Mosier (Richard M. Remington, Jr, md Elizabeth F. Mosier).
I have made a reasonable assumption that Richard M. Remington, living at Hudson, NY, in the 1850 census, is Wager's son. It seems clear that he was named after his grandfather, Richard Mosher/Mosier. Richard Remington and his wife Jane have a son named Wager H. Remington, undoubtedly named after Wager Hull, as was Richard's father
There is another Remington family, William & Antoinette (or Angenett), who have a son named Wager. It appears that these families are very likely related, simply because two sons from the two families are living/boarding together as farm laborers in the 1860 census. Consequently, I have included William as a son in this family group.
Mary's name was found at Rootsweb's Worldconnect.
