Laura Ann McCullar 5. Son: Joseph Arnold Baker b. 27 May 1886 IT OK m. Mary Ann Hanes 6. Daughter: Annie Lee Baker b. 9 May 1930 Tulsa, OK m. Harvey Allen Cox Note: Vardry McBee supposedly died years before, but was listed in the 1840 Walker Co., AL census, age 102, living with Robert Magby. Note: Robert Magby's son William and daughter-in-law died leaving 2 daughters, Amanda and Rebecca, the family was listed on 1860 census for Pike Co., AR. James A. Baker and Margaret Magby were made guardians of the two girls after their parents death. This James A. Baker was my gg grandfather, and the girls were listed in his household on the 1870 census for Montgomery Co. AR. SOURCES: Historical Southern Families by John B. Boddie Union Parish, LA census 1860 Montgomery Co, AR census 1850, 1860, 1870 Pike Co, AR census 1860 North Carolina marriages database, Ancestry.com Social Security Administration The point I'm trying to make is that the Magby/McBee family listed here is quite probably connected. I believe that Vardry McBee is father or grandfather to Robert Magby, and I believe that Robert Magby is father to Margaret Magby. Remember, he was married before and she could have come from his first marriage, else why would the court grant her and her husband guardianship of Robert's granddaughters? Robert was still alive at this time. What I need is someone who may have some kind of reference about Margaret Magby's origins with her name and not a mark on an early census report. -------------------------------------------------------------------- United we stand, divided we fall.
