Abraham Baggett Descendants

ABRAHAM BAGGETT DESCENDANTS

This section will have to be studied very carefully to determine the line of decent. The lineage in America has been proved back to Nicholas Baggett II. The descent down from Nicholas II is marked with a number left of the colon. The number left of the colon shows the generation from Nicholas Baggett II, who is number 1, down to the present time. The number right of the colon designates the position of that child in that particular family, beginning with the eldest as number 1. If you find your ancestor anywhere in the genealogy section, trace it upwards to the nearest lowest number. If you recognize your ancestor, and he is beside 4:3 it means that he is the fourth generation from Nicholas Baggett II (who is 1:3), and the third child in that particular family. Remember, if he is 4:3, as the example, go back to the first 3 left of the colon above it. That will be his or her parents.

2:2 Abraham Baggett I (believed to be the second son of Nicholas II, who made his will in 1753), born ca. 1715 (probably in London), died ca. 1767-8 in Edgecombe County, NC; apparently his wife's name was Sarah.

5:1 Nathan Bagget, Jr., born ca. 1761 in Northampton County, made his will there in 1816, died 1816, married Pherebe                     ?, born ca. 1763. Their children noted in will:

Children (some are conjectural):
5:1 Elias Baggett, born 1772 in North Carolina, died 19 December 1847 in Georgia. He married Susannah Reeves, born ca. 1778, died 2 August 1854. (She was a daughter of John Reeves; he mentions her in his will in Columbia County, GA in 1833.) (It is apparent that the family of Elias Baggett moved to Monroe County, GA in ca. 1835. They appear there on the 1840 census, and four of the children's marriages are recorded there.) Elias and Susannah's children:
6:1 Four daughters born before 1800; 6:5 Tennel Baggett, born 1806; 6:6 Leona Rebecca; 6:7 Winnie Baggett; 6:8 Bennett Baggett, born 22 September 1816.

5:5 Nancy Baggett, born ca. 1804 in South Carolina, died 1882, married in 1821 Duncan Rankin II. They had 13 children (History of Escambia County, Alabama, by Annie C. Waters presents the Rankin family and names the children.) Duncan II was the son of Duncan Rankin I, who was born in Glasgow, Scotland in ca. 1767. He married a woman named Janet, also from Glasgow. They came to America in ca. 1797 and settled in South Carolina.

He moved in 1768 to Bladen County, received a Land Grant there, witnessed a Bond for Title in 1889 (if the same Jesse) in Marlborough County, SC, conveyed 50 acres on Three Creeks southeast of the Beauty Spot, and in 1805 both he and his nephew Elias drew blanks in the 1805 Columbia County Land Lottery. In 1820 Jesse and his wife are shown in the census of Columbia County, GA being 45 and up. Apparently he died ca. 1825 in Columbia County, GA. Their children (considered conjectural):
4:1 Two sons (names unknown); 4:3 Miriam, married 4 July 1801 in Richmond County, GA Jesse Sea; 4:4 Nancy, married in Richmond County 11 December 1804 Thomas Morris.

He was born ca. 1730 in Northampton County, NC, married Elizabeth                     ?. Their children: Information on James Baggett can be found here.
