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 father and mother.

Nicholas Baggett II), born ca. 1718, lived near
