Peter Cock Bailey[1, 2]
1765 - 1844 (78 years)-
Name Peter Cock Bailey Birth 9 Oct 1765 Henrico, Virginia, United States [2, 3] Address:
six miles below Richmond- BIRTH: IGI 8207004,98
BIRTH: IGI reports his birth as 9 Oct 1762. Dorman reports it as 9 Oct 1765. However, his pension application claims 1762. However, he does not appear to be completely trustworthy in his application.
Gender Male Residence Abt 1773 Charlotte, Virginia, United States [2] Residence Abt 1777 Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States [2] moved to Mecklenburg - lived near the North Carolina border.
Military 1778 Granville, North Carolina, United States [2, 4] Private, Granville Co. Militia - In his deposition for his pension, Peter says he entered service in 1778 or 1779 in Granville County, North Carolina under Capt. William Taylor.
Marched from Granville Court House to Hillsborough to Salisbury. Met up with Lock and marched to Camden and then toward Charleston. Marched to the Savannah River and then marched up and down the river. Eventually was discharged at a ferry called the Two Sisters after six months.
Second service under Capt William Gill and Col. Parley of Granville. Marched up and down the river again and was discharged at the Two Sisters after five months.
Third service, under Capt William Gill and Col. Thomas Yancey. Discharged after three months.
Entered service again. Met with the troops of General Gates after his defeat. Was opposite the troops of General Nash when they were "cut to pieces". Discharged in the Cheraw Hills after serving three months.
Entered service again. Marched to Charleston and remained there for some time. Discharged after three months.
Entered service again. Engaged the enemy 4 miles west of Guilford Court House. Was wounded but was able to continue on the march. Discharged after three months.
Entered service again. Marched to Eutaw Springs in South Carolina and engaged the enemy. Took sick afterward and the army moved on, so he went home to Virginia.
DAR-PATRIOT: Pvt, NC, SC, PNSR
MILITARY: Peter served during the Revolutionary War in the Granville Co., North Carolina militia.
However. In light of the whole pension file and the fact that after a time his pension appears to have been rescinded, I am inclined to believe that he did not actually serve. He indicates that his father served. That is worth investigating.
Misc 6 Sep 1779 Charlotte, Virginia, United States [3] father was appointed guardian - If Peter's father was appointed guardian, then he must have inherited property from one of his grandparents independently of his parents. A Guardian was required when the child had property and interests that needed to be looked after and they were not of age to do so.
Misc 7 Aug 1780 Charlotte, Virginia, United States [5] Guardian reports account - Roger Cock Bailey, guardian to Peter Bailey, son of the said Roger, reports account.
Charlotte County Order Book 5, pages 222, 223
Misc 1 Oct 1781 Charlotte, Virginia, United States [3, 6] Guardianship - Francis Barnes appointed guardian to Peter Cock Bailey, son of Roger Cock Bailey, in place of the said Roger.
Charlotte County Order Book 5 (1780-1784), pages 21, 22
If Francis Barnes is appointed guardian for Peter Cock Bailey, then that presumably means that Roger Cock Bailey has died and that Peter is less than 14. But, this doesn't really make sense.
By this point, Peter has already been in the military and should be 16 at least. Maybe this is a secondary appointment and he really was selected. I think this original record needs to be investigated.
However, if Peter had inherited property from one of his grandparents, then a guardian would have had to be appointed to protect his rights.

Additionally, sold stock, plantation tools, and furniture to William B Price.
This appears to be a way for Peter to shield his property from lawsuits.

He also owed a lot of people money, including Nathaniel Maclin (whom I think had prevailed over him in court for payment).
So, by this deed, Peter allows his sons to give him the stock that they bought back to him to satisfy their debts. Then, Peter will sell it and his personal property to satisfy Nathaniel Maclin's debt as well as other debts.

Is this not the same Peter Bailey who appeared in court the previous day? Or are the counterfeiting charges against Peter A. or a different Peter?

Goode and Jno Goode Jr Census 1830 Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States [90] - I have gone back and forth as to whether this is Peter C or Peter A Bailey. Based on the fact that there is a male 40-50 in the house, I believe it to be Peter C. That age is actually low for Peter C. He should be in the 50-60 bucket (like the WF enumerated), or even 60-70 if his Revolutionary Pension deposition is to be believed.
Enumeration:

It seems important to figure out who the free black male is. Some slaves were listed with surnames. Perhaps this is significant.

Misc 22 Feb 1830 Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States [91] Deed of Trust to ensure his appearance in court - On 22 Feb 1830, Peter Bailey entered into a deed of trust, really more of an appearance bond, to make sure that he showed up at the March court to answer a "Charge of Felony". The deed does not specify the charge, only that he must appear. The cash value of the bond is $250, but he is forced to put up a lot of property. William Bailey, his son / brother (depending on which Peter this is) also puts up a mare and colt as security.
In this case, Jordan Stone is Peter's security, guaranteeing his appearance. William Townes can command the sale of the property if he does not appear. Many of the Baileys, Hills, and Marshalls had land transactions, selling to William Townes.
Possessions 6 Mar 1830 Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States [92] deed of trust from Peter to his sons in trust for his heirs - In this deed of trust, Peter Bailey essentially devises all of his property, just two weeks previously set up as collateral for a bond, to his heirs, with his sons Peter A and William H Bailey as the trustees.
In this, he distributes land, personal property, stock, and slaves to his children, giving his wife Sarah a lifetime use of all of it.
Possessions 6 Mar 1830 Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States [93] sells all his land and debts to his sons - In this deed, Peter sells to his sons Francis B, William H, and Peter A not only his two large tracts of land (one to William and the other to Francis & Peter), but also all of his debts. In turn, the sale is only for $15. Peter must expect that they will have to sell the land to satisfy the debts but wants it out of his hands for whatever reason.
Misc 31 Mar 1830 Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States [94, 95] appeared in Superior Court - Peter Bailey is brought before the court and accused of passing counterfeit currency. Then, he is charged with obstructing a witness coming to trial to deliver evidence against him.

Jury finds for the deft and rules that Samuel Lockett retains his property and Peter Bailey has to pay costs.
Misc 3 Sep 1830 Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States [97] appeared in Superior Court - Peter Bailey vs Abraham Keene
This is the second suit against Abraham Keene. Since he does not appear, default judgment is awarded to the plft.
Possessions 21 Apr 1831 Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States [98] land sold at public auction to satisfy a Chancery suit - Having lost a suit in Chancery Court, Peter Bailey was forced to sell a plot of land to satisfy the defendants.
This suit, brought at the March 1831 court, between Humberton Shipwith, administrator of the estate of Jean Shipwith against not only the Baileys but their neighbors, led to the sale of Bailey's land and Lockett's land. 492 acres was sold at auction on 21 Apr 1831 from Peter Bailey to William Townes for $3.10/acre, a total of $1525.20
Possessions 21 Apr 1831 Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States [99] land sold at public auction to satisfy a Chancery suit - A Second tract of land was forced to be sold by Peter Bailey as a part of the suit brought by Humberton Shipwith.
This plot, making up 411 acres, was sold to Peter A. Bailey and William H. Bailey for $2.50/acre, a total of $1027.50.
Possessions 4 Sep 1831 Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States [98] transferred land sold at auction - As a consequence of losing a suit in Chancery Court, Peter Bailey was forced to sell a plot of land containing 411 acres. This happened on 21 Apr 1831. 411 acres were sold at $3/acre.
Sellers were Peter Bailey and wife, Peter A Bailey, Francis B Bailey, and William H Bailey. Purchaser is Samuel Lockett.
Possessions 7 Sep 1831 Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States [100] sold 492 acres to satisfy a lawsuit Possessions 20 Sep 1831 Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States [101] land sold by sheriff's commissioner - As the consequence of a lawsuit in the March 1831 court against Peter Bailey, his children, and others, 411 acres of his land along Butcher's Creek (which sounds like his original land in the area) was sold by sheriff's commissioners.
Peter A. Bailey and William H. Bailey purchased the land for $2.50 / acre, or a total of $1027.50.
It appears that this case started with Peter, being the administrator in an estate, sold slaves that were not to be sold. The plaintiff claimed that they were part of the natural increase of the other slaves included in the bequest and not available for sale.
Whether this long-running dispute led to Peter leaving the area is unknown. But it wasn't very long after this appears to be settled that he and Sarah moved away.
Possessions 20 Sep 1831 Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States [99] sold 411 acres to satisfy a lawsuit - See 21 Apr 1831 notes

He was living in Montgomery County, Tennessee at this point, which is why he appointed John Winkler as his attorney for the court actions in Meckenburg. It appears that he may have moved there as early as 1831, when he failed to appear in court in Mecklenburg on charges of passing counterfeit money.
Misc 13 Oct 1834 Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States [106] Allen suit continues Misc 13 May 1836 Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States [107] lost chancery case and was ordered to pay costs Residence 3 Feb 1837 Madisonville, Hopkins, Kentucky, United States [2] lived here when he expanded on a previous pension application Misc 1837–1839 Hopkins, Kentucky, United States [108] applied for a private pension from the US House of Representatives - According to his daughter, Peter Bailey was awarded a private pension from the US House of Representatives. There is a record that he petitioned to be restored to the pension roll during the 25th Congress (March 1837-March 1839) during its second session. This was referred to the committee on Revolutionary Pensions and is recorded as a Petition on Journal Page 271 for the 25th Congress, 2nd session.

Notes - Realistically, I need to reconstruct all of his residince and history since I don't believe his pension affidavit.
Peter Bailey died in KY. He lived for some time in Montgomery Co, TN and then across the border into Kentucky with a daughter near present day Ft. Campbell.
In the 1820 Mecklenburg census, Peter Bailey is listed as Capt Peter Bailey and has 59 slaves, a very wealthy man. It went south not long after that.
In his pension deposition, Peter says that his father marched with the army to the south, leaving him at home with his stepmother. Shortly after that, he left for the war, himself. After the Battle of Eutaw Spring, he returned home and remained in Mecklenburg until the winter of 1831, when he moved to Montgomery County, Tennessee.
Peter also states that William and Abraham Bailey were some of the earliest settlers on the James River near Richmond, and Abraham was his grandfather. Abraham died in Henrico and left 3 slaves to Peter who were taken by the British without payment.
After the battle of Eutaw Springs, he headed home with John Pemmerton, Shadrick Whit, Mical Willow, William Scandling, John Lockling, John Consolver. Reentered the service and ultimately was elected Captain.
In his first deposition, he lays out his service time and ends with Eutaw Springs. The pension appears to be denied and he applies again, this time with a much more flowery depiction of his service, where he is raised to captain of his company by acclamation. However, at this point, Henry Brame makes a deposition that he has known Peter since they were in school together. He says he cannot possibly be old enough to have served and that in all the time he has known him, some 45 or 50 years, he had never mentioned serving. Sounds like he started to get a pension, then Brame wrote and then it ended. Then the pissy letters started going back and forth about him being taken off the roll.
In the end, a number of people familiar with Peter wrote to the Commissioner of Pensions and pointed out that he was too young to have served, never claimed to have served, and on top of that had been a convict in the state penitentiary. The commissioner sent a later saying that these things needed to be investigated. And that was the last page of the file.
In Mecklenburg County, while Peter was there, there were other Baileys that likely were connected one way or another but I have not yet figured this out. On the one hand, there is a Richard Bailey that shows up living relatively near to Peter. He may be Peter's brother Richard R. Bailey.
There is a William Bailey nearby as well. Can't quite tell how he fits in.
There are George, Howard, and others living in the other district of Meckenburg County. Still might be connected, but farther back.
