Note: Note: On 1850 Census in Edgefield, listed: Jefferson (age 21) and Elizabeth (age 18) Beagle. They were not there in 1870. ----- Biggles John J. E 61 Georgia Infantry. Private Private Bigles, John J. Confederate --- Divorce was illegal in the State of South Carolina then. He left Elizabeth and the 2 children, and married 2 other ladies, while still married to Elizabeth. I don't know if he was divorced from his 2nd wife when he married Nancy Catherine Wright. Julian and Carol Harper have been corresponding with me on this family. ---- 1870 Census, Alachua County, Florida 1346/32 (Image 159 on Ancestry.com) Jefferson Beigle, M., W., age 40, b. SC, work on farm Catherine, F., W., 30, b. Ga., keeping house Thomas, 8, b. Ga. Mena, age 6, b. Ga. William, age 4, b. Ga. Unnamed Female, age 6/12, b. Ga. (So it looks like in 1862, they were in Georgia, and not in Florida, and did not go to Florida until 1869, because Unnamed Female, age 6/12 was born in Georgia). --- J.J. lived in Nashville, Berrien County, Georgia at the time of his son, John Wesley Beagle's death. --------------- J. J. Beagle enlisted as a private in the 13th. Georgia Infantry Regiment on July 10, 1861. The 13th. was also known as "Bartow Light Infantry" and was organized in June 1861, at Griffin, Georgia. Shortly thereafter at Brunswick, Georgia, in October 1861, teh 13th. was reorganized as the 26th. Infantry Regiment , and J. J. Biggles (Beagales) was assigned to Company "E". The 26th. was again reorganized to become part of the 61th. Georgia Volunteer Regiment which was assembled at Charleston, South Carolina in May, 1862. At that time J. J. Beagle transferred to Company "K" and served in that unit until it surrendered in April 1865. As information, when the 61th. moved from South Carolina to Virginia in June 1862 after being organized, its roster consisted of 1,000 officers and men and it was brigaded in the Army of Northern Virginia. This regiment sustained 36 casualties at Gaines Mill, 63 at Second Manassas, 114 at Sharpsburg, 100 at Fredericksburg, 107 at Gettsburg and 98 at Monocacy. The 61th. surrendered with no officers and 81 men, of which only 49 were armed. ** The above information was obtained by Mr. Sutton from : <"Roster of Confederate Soldiers of Georgia". (This book states the actual name is unknown- that it could be either "Biggles" or "Beagle". <Confederate Military History, Volumn Vll, Georgia". <Cruite's "Units of the Confederate Sttes Army". a - In addition to the civil war information outlined above for J. J. Biggles, the "1890-1891 voter Register for Ray's Mill, Berrien County, Georgia" also shows a John J. Biggles as a registered voter. The " 1892-1893 Voter register for Ray's Mill" shows a J. J. Beigles as a registered voter. The 1900 census for Ray's Mill, District 1144, Berrien County, Georgis shows that John J. Beagle and his wife Catherine were living in the same dwelling as Hiram Beagle and his family (wife, daughter and son). Census further shows that John J. Beagle birthday was in November 1829, that he was borned in Georgia and his father was born in North Carolina and his mother born in Georgia. His occupation was that of a brick mason and he could not read or write. (The same census report shows an Elizabeth Beagle living on same property, but not same dwelling) as the John Beagle and Hiram Beagle family.
