Surnames: Bagby
I have seen a great deal of genealogy information on my Bagby line, but have yet to be able to prove (with documented evidence) anything beyond the Robert Bagby listed below:
Robert Bagby, b. April 05, 1779 in Virginia, m. July 24, 1797 in Mason County, Kentucky to Frances.
His children were born in Lewis County, Kentucky:
Willis Bagby
Robert Bagby m. Rebecca\\Campbell\\ August 02, 1838 in Fleming County, Kentucky
Lewis Bagby
Nancy Bagby
* William Bagby m. Eliza Waring November 29, 1838 in Northeast Township, Adams Co., Illinois
John Bagby
Mary Bagby
Frances Bagby
* my line
I have received undocumented information that Robert's parents were:
William Bagby b May 01, 1750 d. June 1806 m. May 01, 1770 in Hanover, Virginia Drusilla Simms b. Abt. 1750 d. March 01, 1786
I really would appreciate some assistance from y'all. I hope some of you can head me in the right direction on where to find some documention to continue my research on this line.
Best regards,
Clarence Burton Bagby

Looking for information on Jonas Harr, one of the first settlers in Lewis Co. He settled in Foreman's Bottom with Robert Bagby. Jonas married Flora Bagby. Jonas had two daughter-in-laws named Thomasine Richards (married Foreman Harr) and Mary Richards (married Joshua Harr). Jonas's children were born early 1800s. Also looking for Jonas' son Thomas Harr who married Nancy Gregory. Thomas was born in 1822. Any informtion on these four families is appreciated.
