Information researched by Elaine Johnson using information found on the internet at Ancestry.com and other sources.  I don't have any personal knowledge of this soldier.  I just randomly picked his name from the roster and started researching to see what I could find on him.

On this particular soldier there are a few discrepancies, so I am not 100% sure I have the correct information on him.  However, I am reasonably certain that it is correct.  I started with the pension records that showed that his mother's name was Fannie Bagby.

This is my dilemma:  I do not find a DAVID Bagby that fits in Iowa.  However, I do find a DAVIS Bagby, in Clayton County, Iowa; that is the right age; mother Fanny;  with a brother named Thomas H. Bagby (note that Thomas H. Bagby also served in Company D of the 27th Iowa.).  The roster says that the nativity for DAVID Bagby was Iowa.  Everything I find on DAVIS Bagby says he was born in Illinois.   But this family came to Iowa from Illinois shortly after he was born.

I am pretty certain this is the correct person, but will remove this if I am corrected.
 

Name:  Davis Wesley Bagby
Birth:  Jan 11, 1841
Death: Oct. 26, 1863 *
Buried:  Brown Cemetery, Mallory Twp, Clayton County, Iowa.

Father: Davis Bagby b: 17 Nov. 1801 in Halifax Co., NC d: 06 Nov 1876: Buried:  Brown Cemetery, Mallory Twp, Clayton County, Iowa.
Mother: Frances 'Fanny' Bloodworth b: 13 APR 1813 in Alabama; d. 29 Jun 1899:  Buried: Brown Cemetery, Mallory Twp, Clayton County, Iowa

* Note: I found several family trees on Ancestry.com that had a date of death of Oct 27, 1873 (as well as others with the 1863 date).  The cemetery records on Clayton County USGenWeb page, shows a date of death of Oct 26, 1863.  I could not find him on the 1870 census.  I found most of the other members of his family -- but not him.  I think the 1863 date is correct, but have no proof of that.
