Sherri Schäefer Bagby Note:

Rev. John Jacob Bagby, my husband, is the G.G.G. Grandson of Alexander Bagby and Louisa Luck, father of Sylvanus J. Bagby, brother to Arthur P. Bagby, my husband's G.G. Grandfather. Sylvanus J. Bagby is found in the Descendent Report of James Bagby, the main report on this site. Info about him may be viewed by clicking here.

Dan Dunham, also a Bagby genealogical researcher, descends from the second marriage of Sarah Bagby, to William Moore.

William Short, another Bagby genealogical researcher, also located the marriage record of Sylvanus J. Bagby to Sarah Bagby.

The Schuyler Citizen (Schuyler County, Illinois), January 25, 1860, mentions in the divorce listing: Bagby, Sara F. vs Bagby, Sylvanus J.

What happened to Sylvanus J. Bagby after that point is still unknown. Sarah Bagby married William Thomas Moore, raised a family and lived until 1923.
