I too, am a descendant. Our family heard of brothers killing an African-American man in Georgia during the Reformation, then moving to Arkansas after changing their names from Bagwell to Badgwell. So far, my Ancestry.com research shows the name change and move from Georgia match up. No details found on other members' trees, though. Was excited to see this original post and know other descendants had heard of this story!
