Posted on: Hancock County, Il Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Hancock?read=1100 Surname: Bagby ------------------------- Mary: Thank you for your response. The William Bagby's you refer to in your response are father and son. The William Bagby (I do not know a middle initial) you show as being born in 1816 and dying in 1908 is the father. He was born October 11, 1816 in Lewis County, Kentucky, and died June 15, 1908 in Augusta, Hancock County. He came to Adams County, Illinois from Kentucky in 1838 to visit his sister, Frances Bagby who had married William H. Bilderback on October 12, 1829 in Lewis County, Kentucky and removed to Adams County, Illinois. While visiting, he met Eliza Waring and in the same year on November 23, 1838, they were married in Adams County. As I noted in my query, William and Eliza Waring Bagby moved to Hancock County in 1854, before the Civil War as your August Story notes. The William Wallace Bagby shown in the Roll of Honor of Civil War Soldiers who Enlisted From Augusta Twp. is the third child of William and Eliza Waring Bagby. He is buried at the Pulaski Cemetery along with his wife, Mary M.Johnson Bagby, and two of his children who died young, Ethel Bagby and Morris Bagby. The children are buried in Lot 12, Range B, Wm. Wallace and Mary M. Johnson Bagby are buried in Lot 12, Range B. Also buried in Lot 12, Range B is his brother, John C. Bagby. Wm. Wallace Bagby suffered from extreme exposure during the Civil War and never fully recovered. He eventually died as a result of the exposure. There is a foot stone marker on his grave that reads Wallace Bagby, Sgt. Co. A 137 Rgt Ill Inf, Civil War. William Bagby and his wife Eliza Waring Bagby are buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Hancock County, Illinois. Dan Dunham
