Regarding the message from Nelda Buchanan. I do know that my grandfather, L.C. Bagwell branded his cow. My mother has his iron in her home. He was the son of Robert Jefferson "Jeff" Bagwell, a son of Bayless Bagwell who was the son of Flurney O. Bagwell. And just as her message states, the brand does have a B on it. This was to mark their livestock. I know nothing about C. B. Bayles. There are some (sp. Bales and Bayless in the area.) Relationship? Martain S. Bagwell was a nephew of Flurney Bagwell and a brother-in-law to Hale Feazel who married Elizabeth Bagwell. Martain had a wife named Susan or Susannah. I have been trying desperately to find out her last name. He was a tutor to my Grandmother, Rebecca Belmira Feazel Gresham. My father was Ben Gresham who married Ressie Bagwell. Thomas Bagwell can be pretty confusing. Old Warren Bagwell came to Louisiana was was in the 1950 census with one name and the next census with another name. Thomas Warren or Warren Thompson, Thornton R. Bagwell, etc. Christi who is also a Bagwell researcher and I spoke on the telephone about this yesterday. If you like a puzzle, were they the same man or did Dicey McClendon marry two Bagwell's? We have always assumed he was the same man. Any corrections or verifications appreciated. Thanks for including me on your website message board. Sherry Gritzbaugh
