| This page and
others on this site are dedicated to the memories,
caring, and sharing of JOE Baggett. Joe was
wonderful at helping all of us that were new to
genealogy, and to those that were not. In his memory, please send any items that Joe helped you with so that we may place them here. |
Items Joe was researching:
- SMITH family of Calhoun Co. In 1866 my ancestor David SMITH of Paulding
Co., Ga., son of War of 1812 veteran John P. SMITH, was administrator of the
estate of William P. SMITH, late of Calhoun Co., deceased, and named
guardian of Amon(?) and Whitfield SMITH, William's minor orphans, "who
possess in their own right considerable estate." Seek information on William
& his sons. Will exchange.
Elias Bagget
1820 census of Columbia County, Ga., p. 51, shows Elias "Bagget," aged over 45, with one female in his household aged 16-26. Living adjacent was Joshua Fuller Senr., aged over 45, with a male 16-26 and two males 26-45 in his household. Elias Baggett, 1772-1847, was the son of Jesse Baggett, a native of North Carolina who moved to Columbia County, Ga., from old Marlboro District, S.C.
As we've seen in earlier newsletters, Susan Baggett, 12, is shown on the 1850
census of Chambers County, Ala., as the daughter of Andrew B. and Rebecca
(Osborne) Baggett of Jackson Co. and Henry Co., Ga. The "R.P.? Baggett, 58?/68?
SC" that you found in Lee Co., Ala., in 1870 is the same Rebecca Osborne
Baggett!
J.F. Baggett shown on the 1870 census is Andrew & Rebecca's son John F. Baggett,
who organized and became captain of Company F, 46th Georgia Infantry, CSA, in
May 1862 at Loachapoka, Lee County. The family you found in 1870 is shown on the
1860 census of Macon County, p. 845, Ancestry image 149: John F. Baggett 32 born
Ga. farmer, wife Sarah T. 21 born Virginia, Rebecca P. 58 SC, Elizabeth 17 Ala.,
Obuna? (female) 15 Ala., Elizabeth F. (sic) 13 Ala., M.T. Preston 12 (male)
Virginia; living adjacent F.M. Osborne 21 Ga. overseer, etc. Living very closeby
at Ancestry image 150 were your James Nunnelee 24, Susan V. 5, ELiza L. 3,
Cornelia J. 1.
From how I read the 1870 Lee County census, we have J(ohn) F. Baggett 42 Ga.,
S(arah) T. 31 Va., daughter H.?L. 3, mother R(ebecca) P. 68 SC, (John F.'s
brother) William S. 36 Ga., S.V. (Susan V.?) Nunnelee 14.
Descendant Samuel Graves Baggett had said Rebecca's husband Andrew B. Baggett
had died "about 1871," but he was obviously in error. I'll have more details in
the next "Baggett Family Newsletter."
