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.

DEATH: According to Susan Dickson, Amanda died during the early part of the Civil War because her husband (Susan's grandfather) was a widower during the war. The Ancestry.Com One World Tree claims Amanda died in October 1867 in Fort Smith.

In Amanda Shafer's prayer book, she is listed as Amanda M.F. Shafer.Also in the prayer book, in the divider page between the prayers and the Psalms is written the date March 24, 1859, nothing more. This is six months prior to the birth of Amanda's first son.

Notes:

Francis Baker Bailey and his family were certainly in Arkansas by February 1837, since his son Charles G. was born in Arkansas. Could they have been in Arkansas prior to statehood in 1836?

In a letter to F.B. Bailey, dated 1848, he is addressed as Cousin Baker and is living in Warsaw, Missouri.

7 March 2006 - Today, I visited the Galley Rock Cemetery, the cemetery of the abandoned town of Galla Rock / Galley Rock. There are a number of stones standing and many more marked in the cemetery. It is located on Arkansas Highway 105, 7 or 8 miles south of Atkins, right on the highway, and well marked. Each grave that can be identified is marked with a modern marker from Lemley Funeral Services. They may be located in Atkins, Morrilton, or another close-by town and may have more burial records. According to a historical marker at the cemetery, Galla Rock, or Galley Rock as it also was known, was a trading post along to Arkansas River as early as 1819. By 1860, it had grown and was platted out as a town. However when the railroad came through in 1872 and bypassed the town, it began to fade as a trading port. Eventually, the town faded away and most of the remaining residents moved the 7 or 8 miles north to the town of Atkins. A Masonic lodge was established there but it also moved to Atkins.

7 June 2007 - Last night, I visited with C. Tennyson Bailey at his home near Russellville, Ark. He lives very near to the old Rufus A. Bailey homeplace. We visited the Booher cemetery where Rufus and his wife, along with many of Tennyson's aunts and uncles are buried. We also visited the Bailey cemetery on the Bailey homeplace where Tennyson's parents, brothers, sisters, son, and other family are buried. Mr. Bailey says that F.B. Bailey moved around a lot. After leaving Virginia, he stayed in Montgomery County, Tennessee, in Kentucky just across the border (near present day Ft. Campbell) where a daughter lived, into Illinois, toward Memphis, and finally into Arkansas. Even in Arkansas, he lived near Batesville, in Crawford Co (when it included Pope), in Pope Co, and other places. In Pope Co, he ran an iron works at the town of Galla Rock (Galley Rock). He and Evalina are supposedly buried in the Galla City cemetery but most of the graves in this cemetery are unmarked at present. Tennyson said that there used to be a cast iron marker on one pair of graves that he had always presumed was F.B. and Evalina's grave since they had the iron works. But that marker has since been lost. Even when it was there, the name plate had long since been lost. Tennyson said that the Shinn family moved with the Bailey family from NC / VA into Arkansas and that they intermarried both in NC / VA and in Arkansas.

MILITARY: F.B. Bailey served in the Virginia Militia during the War of 1812. He received a warrant for land as a result of that services.The land warrant number was 73339.

"[F.B. Bailey] was a farmer by occupation, served as Justice of the Peace for many years, made a prospecting trip through Texas in 1845, afterward roamed through Arkansas and Missouri, and subsequently returned to Arkansas, where he died in January 1855."

I want to track down when FB Bailey came to Arkansas. I have searched

Birth:
Another Bailey family record lists his birth as 11 May 1796.

BIRTH: IGI 7735608,73

Military:
Capt. Burchett's Company of Virginia Militia

Census:
Enumeration: 1001-001, 1 slave between 16-26

Misc:
Francis B Bailey appeared to vouch for Thomas Puryear

Possessions:
For 250 L 8 p, sold to Bruce & Sydnor, all interest in the estate of John Hill.

Possessions:
Francis B and Evalina Bailey sold a plot of 250 acres for $380. This was land that Evalina inherited from her father when he died. This was a plot of land that John Hill purchased from William Cunningham, who purchased it from William Mumford.

Census:
Enumeration: 25001-00001. 5 slaves

Based on the ages of the children involved, there appears to be an extra child enumerated as from 5-10 years old. I can only account for 4 of them. I have never heard of an extra son here, but he would have been born between 1830-1835 to be at least 5 years and no more than 10 years old. He would not have appeared in the 1820 census, so he could be a child who died young.

Possessions:
Francis B Bailey married Evalina B Hill, daughter of Elizabeth Clark, formerly Elizabeth Hill, widow of John Hill, daughter of Robert Marshall.

From Robert Marshall, Elizabeth inherited a negro man Frank. At the death of Elizabeth and John Clark, the property should be divided between all of Elizabeth's living children.

Deed refers to a marriage contract between John Clark and Elizabeth Hill.

Francis Bailey sold for $25 any interest he and Evalina might have in Elizabeth's estate.

Possessions:
See Peter Bailey notes

Possessions:
See Peter Bailey notes

Possessions:
This deed, made 14 Nov 1831 between Francis Bailey on the first part, Lingnal Jones on the 2nd part, and John W Lewis on the 3rd part.
Francis Baker Bailey is indebted to Lingnal Jones for the sum of about $75 plus interest by a bond.
John Lewis pays to Francis Baker Bailey one dollar to fulfill the bond.
Francis Baker Bailey's wife Evalina is the former Evalina Hill, daughter of John Hill dec'd. As a part of his will, his wife Elizabeth received a dower right to the land, negroes, and other property. Elizabeth married John Clark, who is also dead.

This deed confirms that Francis Baker Bailey is married to Evalina Hill, who is the daughter of John Hill. It also confirms that Elizabeth is John's widow, that she remarried to John Clark, and that he has died as well.

In this deed, Francis Baker Bailey is selling part of this property.

Residence:
The History of Texas where this appears says F.B. Bailey went to Franklin county in 1837, but Franklin was not created until 1838 and was carved out of Crawford County.

Land is now owned by Robert Bailey

There is a Ward H Bailey and Jos (or Jas) H Bailey next door. They appear to be connected to FB Bailey, but I do not know how yet. Jos / Jas appears to be older since he has no poll. Also, it appears that FB has sold his land to his son in 1844.

Possessions:
Purchased the NW quarter of the SW quarter of Section three in township seven north of range thirty one west, containing 40 acres.

In 2018, this land is on Fort Chaffee, near the intersection of Ft. Chaffee Blvd and Taylor Ave, across the street from the US Coast Guard MSD Fort Smith.

Strange thing is that he was taxed for this land for several years already. And in the 1844 tax list, Robert Bailey is listed as the owner.

He does not appear after this in the tax list. However, the appearance in the 1856 tax list means his death date might be off.

Francis married Evalina B. Hill on 6 May 1819 in Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States. Evalina (daughter of John Hill and Elizabeth Marshall) was born on 26 Mar 1802 in Virginia, United States; died in Jul 1854 in Pope, Arkansas, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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.
