Notes for UZZIEL BAGGETT
(Uzziel means, “My strength is God.”)
Uzziel has been conjectured
to be the father of Lawrence and Allen Baggett (Baggett Family Newsletter,
Issue # 11, used with permission). This genealogy is mostly concerned with
the descendants of Lawrence. Census records giving Lawrence and Allen’s
ages are compatible with early census records of Uzziel’s famly.
The fact that Uzziel had a brother named Allen also lends credence to the
conjecture that he also had a son named Allen. Uzziel is shown on
the 1800, 1810, and 1820 censuses below. Please note that one must

2. LAWRENCE "LARRY" JACKSON
BAGGETT (UZZIEL5, THOMAS B.4, NICHOLAS II3, NICHOLAS I2, JOHN1) was born
Abt. 1805, and died Bef. 1840. He married MARTHA "PATSY" YARBROUGH
July 11, 1823 in Henry County, GA, daughter of THOMAS YARBROUGH and MARTHA
GARRETT, born 1806.
JOHN YARBROUGH and MARY HAVIS, parents of Thomas, father of Martha "Patsy" Yarbrough:
i: Thomas Yarbrough d. 1840 in Henry Co GA m. Martha Garrett, b. 1770 in SC.
The children of THOMAS YARBROUGH
and MARTHA GARRETT were:
i: William Yarbrough 1800-1896.
ii: Silas Yarbrough b. 1805-1894,
m. Nancy Ray.
iii: Nancy Yarbrough 1807-1876,
m. 1823, Henry County, Silas Mosely.

m. 1823, Henry County, Lawrence Jackson Baggett.
v: Temperance Yarbrough 1811-
?, m. John C. Richards.
vi: Lucinda Yarbrough 1813-
?, m. 1829, Henry County, Allen Simon Baggett.
(It appears that Lawrence and
Martha named one of their sons Silas Mosely Messer Baggett, after
Martha's brother-in-law, Silas Mosely, husband of Nancy Yarbrough.
1830 HENRY COUNTY, GA Census,

Larry Baggett: three males under
age 5 (Larry Jr., Silas, Unknown); one male 25- 30 (Lawrence); one female
20-30 (Martha, age 20).
Allen Baggett (adjacent to Larry): one male under 5; one male 25-30; one female 15-20 ( Lucinda, age 17).
Thomas Yarbrough Census page 220, Ancestry.com Image #43: one male 15-20; one male 50-60; one female 15-20; one female 50-60; probably the parents and siblings of Martha "Patsy," and Lucinda.
Andrew B. Baggett and his family are shown on Census page 233. Ancestry.com Image# 69. Andrew is a second cousin of Larry and Allen, and closely associated with their families, as seen in the move to Alabama.
L. Baggott and A. Baggotte are shown on a list of voters in Henry County dated October 7, 1833, and Lawrence is shown living in adjacent Coweta County while drawing in the 1832 Land Lottery.
Lawrence's date of death is estimated by his not moving to Alabama with Allen and Andrew B. Baggett, by his not being visible in the 1840 census, and by the fact that he is not shown in an 1840 land sale in which Lucinda and other daughters are represented by their husbands, but Martha "Patsy," Lawrence's wife, participates in the sale on her own behalf. All the children are there, selling the land inherited from their father ostensibly to their sister Nancy, represented by her husband, Silas Mosely.
LAND SALE
1840 14 Sep. William Yarbrough, Silas Yarbrough, John R. Richards, Martha Baggett, and Allen Baggett, all of Henry County, sold to Silas Mosely, for $300, 133 acres land, described as the west part of lots #59, 92, 93, Dist. 11, belonging to the Estate of Thomas Yarbrough. Wit: Robert Cagle, J.P., Charles Walker, J.P. Recorded 28 Sep 1840 DB J, p. 345.
Notes for MARTHA "PATSY" YARBROUGH:
Martha's age varied in the different
censuses, but in 1870, she gave her age as 64, which would make her birth
year 1806. She was the mother of Silas Mosely Messer Baggett
and the stepmother of Mary Ann Lambert. She married Lawrence
Jackson Baggett, was widowed by 1840, and then as Martha Baggett, neé
YARBROUGH, married Seth H. Lambert in 1845. Her son Silas Mosely
Messer Baggett, married his stepsister, Mary Ann Lambert, the daughter
of Seth H. Lambert and Caroline (unknown).
The Leon County, Texas, Baggetts
are descended from Martha Yarbrough's son, Silas Mosely Messer Baggett
and Mary Ann Lambert.
The 1850 census of southeastern Carroll County GA shows Martha in her marriage to Seth Lambert. This was the second marriage for both Martha and Seth. He is shown as Seth H. Lambreth 35, and she as Martha 41; also shown are their first children probably born in 1844. (View this census record in the Notes for Silas Mosely Baggett, who married his stepsister, Mary Ann Lambert, the daughter of Seth.)

She was born 1817 in Clarke Co., GA.
Notes for ALLEN SIMON BAGGETT:
Allen came to Alabama at close
to the same time as his cousin Andrew. Allen settled in Tallapoosa County
AL which is adjacent to Chambers County AL where cousin Andrew B. Baggett
settled when he left Henry County. Both men came to Alabama around 1840.
By this time, Allen had taken a second wife, Sarah A. Perhaps Lucinda died.
We do not know what happened to Allen and Lucinda's little son.
In 1850, the year that John Thomas was born to Allen and Sara. Allen moved to Jefferson County, GA, in time to be counted on the November 1850 Federal census with his wife Sarah A. and his daughter and son.

Notes for NEAL HOWARD BAGGETT:
Neal was very close to his half-brother,
Jerry Hammett. Neal worked as an engineer for the railroad in Yuma, Arizona.
He lived on a farm on Winterhaven Indian Reservation, California, where
his son Jerry was born. During World War I, Neal served in the Army, and
may have suffered from being gassed. He was described by kin as being "a
true Texan through and through." The source of Neal's information
is the Social Security Death Index and Dew Cemetery records.
Notes for EVALENA (LENA) RISNER:
Lena was buried as Lena Vernoy.
(Source: Good Shepherd Cemetery records.)
Good Shepherd Cemetery is located
on Beach Blvd. and Talbert in Huntington Beach, California. It is
a Catholic Cemetery but all denominations are buried there. The oldest

Kathryn was first named Chester
Arthur for an uncle, but when she was older, she changed her name to Margaret
Kathryn or Kathryn Margaret. She seems finally to have decided upon Kathryn
Margaret and was known as Aunt Kitty by her niece and nephew. However,
she may have changed her name one more time, this time to Margaret Lucille,
which would explain her burial name, Margaret L. Karin. above.

03, 1920, Winterhaven, CA; d. January 15, 1998, Huntington Beach, CA of
COPD; m. LIVING STEWART, October 20, 1945, St. Louis, MO.

AZ which was right across the border from Winterhaven. He was named after
his father's half-brother (Jerry Hammett) and his mother's youngest brother,
Leon Risner and was nicknamed "The Chief" for his military rank.
His parents, Lena and Neal, divorced around 1925, and Jerry Leon never
saw his father again. Lena remarried several times and had one more
child, a son, Lewis Hardwick, Jr. Neal possibly married again, also, but
it is not known whom he married. Jerry Leon Baggett served in the Navy
for nearly 30 years, and was a veteran of Pearl Harbor. he was buried at
