The surname of her mother, RAGLAND is the same as the maternal grandfather of PETTUS WALES CHICK who married daughter, MARY ANN.

Notes for JAMES M. BAGBY, SR.: Dr. Alfred P. Bagby's family tree indicates James had three sons who were ministers and one son who was the Governor of Alabama. Arthur Pendleton Bagby was, as a matter of history, the Governor of Alabama.

James Morris Bagby, was definitely a minister, as there are numerous records of marriage ceremonies and funeral services he conducted found in the Virginia State Library.

Alexander Bagby is also listed as one of the three ministers in census records:

In reference to the other preacher, there are three sons from which to choose. John A. Bagby, Samuel Bagby or William J. Bagby. I have not seen documentation on which of these sons was the other preacher, but I have listed William J. Bagby as the other preacher per research of Nell Bagby (Simmons) and Linda Bartlam (Reams), both who descend from his line.
