BAGGS
Early settlers of Montgomery Co. AR
Alexander Baggs

In 1830 there were only 30,388 residents in the Territory of Arkansas including Alexander in his fifties with a wife in her forties and two boys and four girls. John and wife in their twenties and two girls under 5 and James Baggs in his twenties with a wife 15 to 20 and 1 girl under five, all living near each other, in Hempstead Co. In the 1830s the Whittington Store ledger shows Alexander, John and James Baggs were doing business in Mt Ida, Hot Spring Co. AR.

I would be inclined to think that James was John's older brother.

Queries
BAGGS: Looking for Ann Baggs, who married John Belcher in 1877. John's father was Lewis Belcher. She is a daughter from the "first set" of children of William Briton Baggs and Ellender Oller. She was born about 1856. Other children's names were Lum, Boss, Wills and John Henry. They were in Montgomery County, AR in the mid to late 1800s. Any info is appreciated. Also looking for information on Richard Belcher, believed to have been in Montgomery County, AR around the same time.

Ann cannot be the daughter of James R. Baggs, who is born 1857, because they both are listed on the census record for 1880, as living next door to each other. Ann Baggs-Belcher is listed with her husband, John, and their first child Wm. Matthew. Any info is helpful. There was an earlier set of children, but no one seems to have any info on these children. Barb B. wrote Sep. 4 2005
