Well this site defines waggoner as...

Wagoner / Waggoner - teamster not for hire

And a teamster as...

Teamster - one who drives a team (horses or oxen) for hauling

ScotlandsPeople have a slighly better definition...

Waggoner

One who drives heavy goods vehicles

[stanmapstone]

He could have been a farm waggoner. In farming a Waggonman, aka wagoner, waggoner, carter, looked after the horses under his control and drove them in accordance with whatever work was to be undertaken, e.g. ploughing, reaping, horrowing, carting, etc. Otherwise he drove a horse-drawn heavy four-wheeled wagon, conveying produce or manufactured goods to a market, or railway station.
