Hi Irin, You have really dug deep into my Baggett ancestors. I am somewhat astounded at what I now know about them. So Abraham died from consumption. He probably caught it in the army. He was only 35 years old when he died,leaving a wife behind. I wonder why he moved from Tennessee to Illinois? Abel sure liked to move around. From Tenn. to Texas, joined the TST,back to Tenn. to get remarried, have a child, and back to Texas. Interesting fellow. Now I know why I've always had the traveling bug. Thanks again for all this important info. I will continue my research in earnest. Regards,Charlie.
