 Allen
Thomas and Lydia Baggett |
Allen Thomas Baggett has been an
elusive individual to find and document. I have a significant amount
of research that I haven't consolidated and written yet. I will post
it here very soon. Below is some information about A.T.
This page is still being developed. |
|
Tennessee Native - We do know that
A.T. listed his place of birth as Tennessee. However, It as been difficult
establishing A.T.'s father and mother.
I have established two lineage possibilities:
-
A.T. was as son of Micajah Baggett or
-
A.T. was the son of Thomas Baggett (Ga.)
Both of these only have circumstantial evidence
with no clear connection. I will explore both of these theories in this
page.
Allen Thomas Baggett's children include:
Stephen (b: 1833)
Elisa (b: 1837)
Serena (b: 1838)
William
Riley (b: 1839)
Rufus (b: 1841)
Mary (b: 1844)
Elly J. (b: 1848)
Allen (b: 1846)
Nancy (b: 1851)

The following pictures are
very probably sons of Allen Thomas Baggett. They are tintypes, but
with no documentation. |
|
Baggett Traits - The
Baggett had a very distinctive nose, long and narrow; and pronounced ears,
and piercing eyes with very small pupils. Many of these traits seem
to have passed through many subsequent generations. They are
frequent in the Clark family, and evident in verified pictures of later
Baggett generations. In particular, Allen Baggett had very beady
eyes. Blown-up scans of him, compared with enlarged versions of the
older picture identified as A.T. Baggett, his father, show an astounding
similarity. |

The photos below were probably
taken around 1870. The two on the left are paper prints mounted on
card, and the right two are tin types. Photography finally became
affordable right after the civil war. A transition from the tin
types to paper photographs was in progress during this time. |
 I
believe this is Allen Baggett. Very close examination of his face,
in particular his eyes, with known, later photos of Allen, lead me to this
speculation. Allen would have been 25 years old in 1870.

 ? Baggett?
I'm sure this is a Baggett - ears and nose give it away.
|
 William
Riley Baggett? He would have been 31 in 1870 |
 Rufus Baggett? He would have been 29 in 1870. |
