Notes
  * We don't know if George and Peggy ever married.
  * George A. is our ancestor. He was a lawyer in Sumner. He either married or did not marry Margaret Caruthers, but can be found living with her and their three sons on Sumner Co. censuses. We first heard from Thomas B.'s descendants that George adopted the three boys of Margaret Caruthers, whose names were John A. aged about 22, Thomas about 19, and Richard H. L, abt 14. Thomas is our ancestor. We later found a court record dated 1857 in the Archives in Sumner Co. (where you can also see Patrick Hamilton Baskervill's book), stating that the three boys were George's illegitimate children by Peggy Caruthers and he wanted to legitimize them. We have no idea what the problem was with marrying Margaret, but possibly one or the other was married to someone else. That is all we can figure. [Kay Baganoff]
  * Is this John Alexander Baskerville? See John Alexander separately.
  * Thomas, who was also called Thomas J., (probably Thomas Jefferson, and Richard H. L. probably stood for Richard Henry Lee - although this is speculation on my part), was our ancestor. Until recently we had not been able to find Thomas' wife's name, only that it was Mary and we had been told by Billy Baskerville (son of Charles, bro of Benjamin and Mary Eliz.) of Sumner, that she was called "Dinkie" and that she was from William's Hollow. We now know that her name was Mary "Dink" or "Dinkie" Williams. We knew from census records that her name was Mary, but we finally saw the name Mary "Dink" Williams on the death certificate for Richard, the oldest son of Thomas and Mary. This record was given to me a few years ago by a desc. of Richard. Thomas J. Baskerville b. 1839 and Mary Williams b. 1844 (figured from census records) had 11 children - Richard b. 1861, Mary Eliz. b. 1863 (she was born in Ky. for some reason, possibly because of the Civil War, but we have no idea why or where she was born in Ky.), John b. 1865, Ben. Franklin b. 1867, Sallie b. 1870, Josephine b. 1872, Chris Columbus b. 1875, Geo. Augustus b. 1878, Cleve O. b. 1884, Charles b. 1881, and Emma b. 1886. My sister got a lot of the Baskerville data that we know about from Cammie Braham, wife of Wade Baskerville, son of Benjamin. I have recently spoken with Wade, and he says Cammie is deceased. [Kay]
  * Richard H L BASKERVILLE - Baskerville, B. H. L. - Captured at Fort Donelson, Tennessee. He took the Oath at Camp Butler, Illinois.

If there is no SOURCE, I have no PROOF. If the the source is a person, the information is HEARSAY.
This sheet is almost exclusively Kay's work with a little bit from the census.
