Notes:

There is no 1794 personal property tax return for Elizabeth Hill. Likewise for 1795. Therefore, none of the children appear, either. However, there is still a real estate tax being paid.

One possibility is that Elizabeth has died and the boys are living with their guardians. Or they moved. Or they were missed.

However, either this is a different Elizabeth Hill, or this is an appraisal for some other purpose. The tax records make it pretty clear that she was alive for several more years.

Either the estate paid this tax since it was not settled or she had not died. The way to tell is to look in the accounts for the estate and see who paid what when. Presumably since there was a probate and letters of administration in January 1794, she had died by then.

John Hill has 80 acres in 1798. Elizabeth has 80 acres less. There is no deed of gift or purchase. It appears that John has reached the age where he receives his inheritance.

In May 1788, James is listed as age 16 and older. In 1787, he is not listed as age 16. So, the best we can do is to say he was born before 1772. There's no reason to know why he was not in the house in 1787.

Elisha was not a party to the deed. Nor was he mentioned as deceased. So, how did James sell Elisha's land?

• Residence: 16 Aug 1848, Warsaw, Benton, Missouri, United States
• Census: 14 Nov 1850, Galla Rock, Pope, Arkansas, United States

Notes:

According to the History of Pope County, Arkansas, Evalina B. Hill was Evalina Belmont Hill. She was said to be the widow of John Hill rather than the daughter of John Hill. Other sources have always said that she was the daughter of John Hill. However, the John and Elizabeth Marshall Hill family fits very well with Evalina.

On 16 Aug 1848, a letter was sent to Mrs. E.B. Bailey in Warsaw, Benton Co, Missouri. This means that at least this part of the family had moved there. Based on other correspondence, it seems that some of Evalina's family was living there.

Ref: [bailey, 1963, ]

A Deed from Francis B Bailey to William Townes, dated 28 Oct 1830, calls out Evalina B Hill, daughter of Elizabeth Clark, formerly Elizabeth Hill as wife of Francis B Bailey. Further, it says that Elizabeth Clark is the daughter of Robert Marshall.

Birth:
Another family record records her birth as 6 March 1802.

Name:
Some people give her a middle name of Belmont. As a result, they claim that she was the widow of John Hill rather than his daughter. Mecklenburg records prove conclusively that she was John Hill's daughter, not wife. However, the middle name has not been clearly documented.

Evalina married Francis Baker Bailey on 6 May 1819 in Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States. Francis (son of Peter Cock Bailey and Sarah Baker) was born on 1 May 1796 in Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States; died in Jan 1855 in Galla Rock, Pope, Arkansas, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John B. Hill writes a number of letters from Warsaw, Missouri to Evalina, calling her sister.

Birth:
Listed in his father's will, dated 4 Jan 1811 and probated March 1813.

Possessions:
John B. Hill to William Townes
for $250
and undivided 1/5th part of 250 acres, part of a tract of land purchased by John Hill that was part of a larger tract that was known as Occomachee.

William Townes appears to be buying up all of the Bailey and Hill land.

Possessions:
In this deed, John B. Hill sells for $100 to Wm Townes his interest in his mothers dower right, namely a group of slaves listed in the deed.

In this deed, it says that his mother, Elizabeth Clark, formerly Elizabeth Hill, was given a life interest in these slaves by her husband John Hill. This means that at the time of this deed, John Hill is dead and Elizabeth Hill Clark is still living.

Residence:
Deed in Mecklenburg County, Virginia lists John as living in Sumner County, Tennessee

Notes:

There are a number of letters to a Hume F. Hill of Memphis, Tennessee in the family papers. I believe this is an uncle of Hume F. Bailey, and his namesake.

Hume appears to have married in New York and had a daughter, Augusta, there (or a step-daughter). He is a Justice of the Peace in Memphis by 1850. He also appears in the 1860 Memphis Census.

Birth:
In the 1860 census, he is 50 years old rather than 48.

Listed in his father's will, dated 4 Jan 1811 and probated March 1813.

Possessions:
Sold to William Townes

150 acres inherited from John Hill

Died:
Death record says he was 58 years old, giving a birth of 1812 rather than 1810.

Buried:
Plot: Lot 359, grave 6, Chapel Hill

Hume married Elizabeth C. about 1835. Elizabeth was born in 1815 in New York, United States; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Based on the fact that there is a receipt from Robert M. Bailey to John B. Hill in Sebastian Co in 1844, at least Robert remained in Sebastian Co. Were there other brothers and sisters still in Seb Co? When did Francis Bailey move to Pope Co? What about John Hill? Is this John Hill the uncle or grandfather of Robert M Bailey?

Residence:
Obtained a head-right in Titus County, 1838

Residence:
He could have been living in Texas and just visiting family for this.

According to History of Texas, Tarrant, Parker, Dick lived in Galveston and died in 1850 at the time of the epidemic there. However, since he was living in 1852 in Navarro county, this is unlikely to be completely accurate.

There was a yellow fever outbreak in Galveston in 1853 that killed 523 people.

Notes:

Hume Bailey was a devoted Union sympathizer during the Civil War. Since he was a widower with young sons, he was exempted by the Union army from service (Ft. Smith being a Union stronghold in an otherwise Confederate state). However, the Confederate army, when it moved into that part of Arkansas forced him to enlist on the threat of death. Susan Dickson says that he may have enlisted and then deserted at the first opportunity.

In the compiled service records, there are two jackets for H.F. Bailey, but no firm places are listed and the service appears to have been short in the Confederate army in any case. More research is needed.

Interestingly, there are a number of letters written to Hume F. Hill of Memphis, TN. These appear to be an uncle of Hume F. Bailey - the brother of his mother, perhaps.

Misc:
I have another fact showing that Hume was granted guardianship on 17 Oct 1876 in the court at Greenwood. However, this document shows that he was granted guardianship of Philip D. Brewer, a minor under the age of 14, on 30 March 1868 in Fort Smith.

* Richard came to Texas in 1849 and died in Galveston in 1850
* Living are O.L, Thomas B. of Jenson, AR, and Rufus of Russellville.

Birth:
One family record records his birth as Otway A. Bailey. Clearly wrong.

Residence:
Bailey, OL
1 poll
No property

Census:
Listed as O.S. Bailey rather than O.L. Bailey

Otway does not appear in the 1860 Agricultural Schedule, though his neighbors on either side (listed as farmers) do. Nor does he appear in the Industry or the Manufacturing schedules, though he was working as a blacksmith.

Military:
This is likely not completely true. All indications show that he might have worked at the armory, making pistols maybe, but was not in charge.

Residence:
Voters list says that he has been in Texas for 11 years, in the county for 10 years, and in this precinct for 2 years.

Census:
Listed as a gunsmith

He does not appear in the 1870 Agricultural schedule or manufacturing schedule. There is no industry schedule, which is where I would have expected to find him.

Census:
Description of farming activities

Census:
Listed as having an interest in machining and blacksmithing

Census:
The 1910 census records that this is Otway's 2nd marriage, that he was married prior to Amanda. That would have to be an early marriage that ended quickly, prior to 1853.

Notes:

According to FindaGrave, his name was Thomas Brace Bailey. This could well be since his grandmother was a Bressie / Bracey.

Census:
This is recorded as Cole Twp, Choctaw Lands, Indian Territory, but in the Arkansas census. It's right on the border between Oklahoma and Arkansas.

Census:
In 1870, Thomas lives two houses away from Hume Field Bailey, his brother.

Census:
Still living very near to Hume

Notes:

Birth:
Rufus military record reports that he was born in Missouri rather than Arkansas.

Census:
Looks like Rufus is a laborer on the fam where Elizabeth Robinson lives, perhaps as a single woman with her sister and brother.

Military:
Rufus is listed as absent without leave since Sept 28, 1864. After a few weeks, his status was changed to deserted. No further details are found in the file.

Died:
Some sources say death was 26 Sept 1913. Grave stone says 24 Sept 1913.
