George W. Baggerly (1844-1861) was a son of David Baggerly (b. about 1801 in North Carolina -
d. before the 1850 U.S. Federal Census in GA) and Nancy (Stuart) Baggerly (b. about 1806 in North Carolina - d. 3 April 1863 in GA). Two newspaper stories tell us George W. Baggerly (also known as George Baggarly and George Beggerly in the duplicate Find a Grave memorial) was killed along with several other Confederate soldiers when a fortification at Pensacola collapsed on them. Their bodies were returned to Macon, GA, and a large funeral and procession to Rose Hill Cemetery followed. George W. Baggerly was only 17 years old when he died. His brothers, William "Warren" Baggerly (b. 1839 in GA - d. 4 Oct 1867), Francis "Marion" Baggerly (b. 1829 in GA - d. about 1861 and he was listed in Confederate 28th Battalion Georgia Siege Artillery as F.M. Bagley), and Benjamin H. Baggerly (b. 1836 in GA-d. 1914) fought in the Civil War, too. Francis "Marion" Baggerly died early on during that war. William "Warren" Baggerly's health suffered because of the war, and he died shortly after it ended. Only Benjamin H. Baggerly managed to live a long life of 78 years.
