"Wait for the Wagon" in the DT is credited to R. Bishop Buckley, the Englishman who organized Buckley's Minstrels.

Although this seems to be a minstrel song, the attribution should be followed by (?).
The earliest American sheet music (1851) has "Words & Music (?).
PD music lists the words by anonymous and music by Buckley, arr. Geo. P. Knauff.

George P. Knauff, who published the Important "Virginia Reels, I," in 1839, cannot be ignored as the possible composer of the music (and the words in the DT), or at least should be cited as co-author.
