Children of John H. Bagwell, NC
I'm searching for any information on the children of John H. Bagwell (ca. 1800) and Susannah McFadden (ca. 1805) of Rutherford County, NC. The only child I've seen listed for this couple is Sarah Ann Bagwell. She was born ca. 1830 and died in Georgia in 1899. I know there were at least two other sons who died in 1831. They were William S. Bagwell who was born ca. 1825 and died on July 4, 1831 and Alfred A. Bagwell who was born ca. 1829 and died on July 10, 1831 in Mountain Creek, Rutherford Co., NC.
I am trying to prove or disprove that John H. and Susannah M. Bagwell had at least three more children. I think it is possible that James Adolphus Bagwell (10 Oct. 1826), John Weir Bagwell (ca. 1828), and Susan Bagwell (ca. 1834) are also children of this couple.
According to my family history, the father of James A., Susan, and John W. Bagwell was John Bagwell and that he lived in NC. James Adolphus named his oldest child after his father and the father of his wife (Martha C. Whitmire Bagwell's father was Christopher C. Whitmire, Sr.). His son's name was John Christopher Bagwell (1848-1930). James' oldest daughter was named Sarah Ann Bagwell (1851-1934).
John Weir Bagwell had a son named John and another named William Alfred Bagwell.
The estate record of John H. Bagwell of Transylvania County, NC shows that John H. gave $30 to Martha Caroline Bagwell (widow of James Adolphus Bagwell) and $6 to her son John Christopher Bagwell. His estate was settled on August 26, 1872.
Another curiosity is the John Bagwell (b. ca. 1804 SC) and wife Margaret (b. ca. 1804 SC) on the 1850 census of Pickens District, SC. This couple had the following children:
John W. Bagwell ca. 1830 GA
Susan Bagwell ca. 1834 SC
Hamilton Bagwell ca. 1836 SC
Madison Bagwell ca. 1843 SC
Martha Bagwell ca. 1844 SC
Amanda Bagwell ca. 1847 SC
William Bagwell ca. 1849 SC
John H. Bagwell isn't found on the 1850 census of NC. Is this John the same man? Is John W. Bagwell and Susan above the siblings of James Adolphus Bagwell?
John Weir Bagwell had a daughter named Margaret Olivia Bagwell. James Adolphus Bagwell had children named Amanda Bagwell (1857-1864) and a son Elijah William Bagwell ((1859-1864). This may just be more coincidence or it could point to a connection between these families.
If anyone has any information on John H. Bagwell or Susannah McFadden or anyone connected to them, I would appreciate your help.
Thanks,
