Research notation about this John Bagby, Sr.:
For several years he has been named in the report online at Bagby.org as John Arthur Bagby, Sr. The middle name of Arthur was added from information received by other Bagby researchers, but I do not have a written source for the middle name. After email exchange with James Morris Bagby and Dan Dunham, I made the decision to remove Arthur from his name and add this note. If any researcher has written documentation that shows anything about his name please contact Sherri at Berlindog.com

Further notation: The Sr. and the Jr. for his son were added by me to differentiate between the two men.
