Note: In the 1850 Census, William E. is listed as a hatter. By 1860, son Silas was listed as a moulder and son Isaac as a hatter, so the boys, as they aged, had jobs in their father's business. By 1879, W. E. was a farmer, share-cropping in Tuscaloosa County. He decided to move his family to what became Sharkey County, where they prospered.
William E. and Lucinda Baggett were buried in Rolling Fork, probably in Mound Cemetery. However, one of the floods in the 1880s inundated the cemetery and their gravestones were lost.
William E. Baggett's family came from Tennessee via North Carolina. In Lincoln County, Drury and Abram Baggett served in the same regiment in the War of 1812 with Isaac Robertson. That, to me, is a significant association. One of Abram's sons was William. Also, one was Silas, which was the name of William E.'s oldest son. They were in Montgomery Co., TN.

Baggett, John b. 1763 VA d. prior to Jan 1, 1792, m. Mary Taylor; pvt. VA (This is the ancestor that Col. Baggett of Alabama thinks is ours. His grandfather was the young Baggett who traveled to Rolling Fork shortly after N. T. Baggett died in 1904; Annie Prince fainted because he looked so much like her dead husband and told him he was bound to be kin in some way.)

One of the records said that Abram Baggett was a musician. Maybe a bugler? Or drummer? Or fife?
