Surnames: Bagby/Bagbey, Shelton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xg.2ADI/2613 Message Board Post: I am trying to identify one Elizabeth Bagbey age 48 born in Virginia who is listed on the Madison Co IA 1850 census in the household of John Shelton and his wife Nancy. I know that Nancy's maiden name was Bagby. She and John were married in Sangamon County in 1849. There are also five Bagbey children listed: 2 males ages 16 and 14 whose names are difficult to read but probably start with D, Eliza age 12, Mary age 9, William age 6. All children born in Illinois. My records indicate that my ancester Nancy Bagby Shelton was born in Illinois, possibly White County or Sangamon County. Martha Bagby married John Shelton's brother Eleven Shelton, probably a sister of Nancy. If anyone can shed light on this Bagbey/Bagby family, I would appreciate hearing from you. Kathryn
