She was born Abt. 1832 in Florida. He married (2) ALBERTA (NEE?) SEGARS9 Abt. 1906. She was born 02 Jun 1873, and died Aft. 1930.
Notes for SAMUEL BARQUILLA "BUSTER" SEGARS:
Identified as "Barquilla," on the 1860 census and "Barcella," on
the 1870 census in the home of William and Drucilla Segers. Samuel Siggars
(sic) 25 wife Virginia 40 (sic), step-son John McGowan 15, William Siggars
45, and Jonas Siggars 23 lived in Samuel's household in Escambia County, Alabama
on June 10, 1880.
Sam B. Siggars, born June 1854 forty-five years of age and wife Virginia born December 1847 (sic) sixty-two years of age were living in the Pine Grove Community, Escambia County, Alabama on June 4, 1900 when the census was taken.
Escambia County, Alabama Poll Tax Records show S.G. (sic B.) Seggers (sic) registered to vote in 1908. He was 54 years old (born about 1854) at the time he registered. The age matches Barquilla, Barcella, Samuel, Sam B., and S.B. Seggers, Siggers, Siggars of Escambia County, Alabama. Another entry in the records show that S.G. (sic B.) Siggers (sic) transferred from one voting precinct to another. A third entry showed Mrs. S.G. (sic B.) Seggers (sic) born June 2, 1873 registered to vote in 1922 at which time she was 49 years of age. This "Mrs. S.G. Seggers" can not be Virginia, because Virginia was much older than Samuel born 1854.
Buster Siggers age 52, wife Alberta 34, and daughter Dorothy age 1 lived in the Parker Community, Escambia County, Alabama on April 22, 1910 at census time. The census indicated "Buster" had been married twice and Alberta once. They had been married four years.
1920, not located.
S.B. Siggers (sic) died in Escambia County, Alabama October 31, 1922. Source: Alabama Deaths Records, 1908 - 1959, Volume 54, Roll 2, Page 26669. Death certificate was obtained. The death certificate indicated that S.B. Siggers died at age 68 of heart disease that he had been treated for for the past two years. His wife was recorded as Alberta. This is probably the "Mrs. S.G. (sic) Seggers" shown in the paragraph above who registered to vote in 1922, perhaps exercising her new rights granted by the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920.
Notes for VIRGINIA (NEE?) SEGARS:
James McGowan 43, wife Virginia 38, and children; Sarah 16, Susan 14, John
6, and Susannah 4 lived in Louis Station Precinct, Escambia County, Alabama
on July 30, 1870 when the census was taken. Ten years later, Virginia was
married to Samuel Segars and her son John McGowan age 16 was living in Segars'
household and identified as "step-son." Susannah, the four year
old in 1870 was not with her mother in 1880.

Alford and his family in 1910. Samuel and Alberta were not located on the 1920
census, but one of Tillman's sons, Doctor "Dock" Alford, was the "informant" on
S.B. Siggers death certificate in 1922. "Elberta Sigers (sic) 52, a widow
