Narrative

1900 US Census for Sand Springs Precinct, Limestone Co, AL, shows five related families living adjacent to each other:

James J. W. Baggett and his 3rd wife Nancy Magnusson Baggett
Samuel H. Baggett (son of James J.W.) and his wife Louisa Shannon Baggett and children
William Shannon (uncle of Louisa S. Baggett and Thos. Alex Shannon) and second wife Frances Watkins Shannon and daughter Della
(widow of Thos. Wesley Shannon, who was brother to William Shannon) Malinda Shannon and son Thomas
Thomas Alex Shannon (brother of Louisa S. Baggett) and wife Mary E. Faulkner and children

The date of death for Thomas W. Shannon is shown as 1901 on tombstone, but 100 census states he was already deceased. It is possible that the headstones were added later and the dates confused.
