You and your brothers (Andrew, Milton and half brother T.J.) had married Evans girls (sisters) while in Harrison Co. in southern Mississippi. Your two brothers and their Evans brides and you with Julia moved to Sugartown, Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana after your father died in southern Mississippi after the 1850 census.
Your father had married a second time, and your half brother Thomas Jefferson (T.J.) Baggett was born and died there. At the time of this 1850 (Harrison county (now Stone county), Mississippi) census your father was 70 years old and he died there (between 1850-1860) north of Bay St Louis as he was not found in the 1860 Census.
You and Julia were in your thirty's when you died. It makes me think you both could have been exposed to the same illness.
You died at the time of, or just before the civil war started.
The 1850 census reflects you employed yourself as a "Wood Chopper" . The initial "B" was shared by you and your brothers, and I have never learned where it came from or what it actually represents.
For many years I could find nothing on you and Julia, only to realise you both had died so young and were buried together close to where your older brother was. You will never be lost again. I pray for your souls, and you sleep in peace!
