Mary,
The ancestors of Dr. Malcolm Baggett, 1849-1921, are known. He was a son of Michael Baggett, 1818-1896, of Santa Rosa County, Florida, who was a son of Thomas Choice Baggett, son of John Baggett, 1750-1805. The late Major John Aubrey Baggett, who picked up on Dr. Malcom Baggett's research, sent me information on Dr. Baggett, who was abducted and killed by moonshiners near Pensacola, Fla., when he happened upon a still. Dr. Baggett visited all across the South gathering information on the Baggett family in the early 1900s. With some of the people he interviewed, he left the impression that he was seeking heirs for the (non-existent)"Baggett fortune."
I have no way of knowing if the Barton Baggett who died in Robeson County, N.C., 1 April 1829 was the same Barton said to be a son of John, 1750-1805. It would be very unusual but not impossible to return to Robeson County after migrating to Pulaski County, Ga., with his brothers, long after his parents came to Georgia. He doesn't appear in any militia record that I've seen. He should have served in the Pulaski County militia with his brothers ... unless he was over-age or died soon after arriving in Pulaski County.
Most needed would be a more thorough check of the records of Pulaski County from someone who has access to those courthouse records.
The only other Barton Baggett I've seen of about his age is Barton,said to have been born 16 Jan. 1776, named as a son in the will of Joseph Baggett, Robeson Co., N.C., 1789, said to have died before 1820. I haven't seen any Barton on any 1820 census.
