Notes:

In the personal property lists, starting in 1793, I see John Baker and George Baker with son William in the neighborhood and not yet attached to a family here.

Birth:
Personal property tax was generally collected on males older than 21. Since William is paying tax in 1785. Tax would have been assessed for the year he turned 21 and then paid the next year. So, born in 1763 or earlier. At that time, the part of Mecklenburg where the Bakers lived was Lunenburg.

• Misc: 29 Mar 1773, Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States; mentioned in her father's will
• Misc: 24 Mar 1794, Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States; mentioned in her mother's will

Notes:

Somewhere a death date of 23 Jan 1822 was attached to Sarah, along with a place of Virginia.

However she is listed in a deed in 1830 selling land with Peter. I suspect she moved with him to Tennessee. However, I also believe she died before he did.

Misc:
By his will, Zachariah gives three slaves to Sarah - Sarah, Bob, Rachel

Misc:
bequeathed one feather bed and furniture and trunk (her grandmothers), three negroes - Frank, Chenee, Sooky

Died:
I am not sure where this death date came from. But, in litigation against Peter in the 1830s, Sarah is mentioned over and over as a plaintiff. I believe that she was certainly alive into the mid-1830s. This needs to be detailed out.

In particular, deeds made in 1830 (Deed book 24, Mecklenburg County, p. 108) Peter Bailey and Sarah his wife sell land.

By the 1840 census, it appears that Peter is living with Elizabeth M.A. Bailey and her husband, but there is no older woman in the home. So, if this is Peter, then Sarah isn't there and has probably died.

Sarah married Peter Cock Bailey on 27 Aug 1792 in Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States. Peter (son of Roger Cock Bailey and Mary Rennard) was born on 9 Oct 1765 in Henrico, Virginia, United States; died in 1844 in Hopkins, Kentucky, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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

1839 Crawford Co tax list - No FB Bailey, instead PH Bailey
1840 Crawford Co tax list - FB Bailey, Wm H Bailey both found

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:

Familysearch reports that there exists (or existed) a Peter Bailey family Bible. In it, it says that Jane Bressie Bailey was born 3 Aug 1798 and died 2 Jun 1829, both in Mecklenburg. William B Price was born 1794 and I think I saw that he died in 1854.

They had 3 children: Emily E Price, b. 20 Dec 1820, maybe in Christian County, Kentucky; William B Price, b. 24 Sep 1822, in Christian County, Kentucky; and Otway G Price, b. 28 Apr 1829 in Christian County, Kentucky.

Thus far, I have not found any record of any of these folks after their marriage. I expect Jane died shortly after Otway was born. He may have died as well. Don't know about Emily. There are a lot of William Prices, so he may have survived.

Notes:

While there is a citation that William H Bailey died in 1835, I find a William H Bailey in the 1840 and 1841 Crawford County tax lists with fairly large land holdings.

Additionally, I find marriage records in 1820 for William, indicating that he was born earlier than 1806.

There is a William Bailey in the 1830 census, but he is in the other end of the county and none of the ages of the people in the family match up. There is also a page missing in the filming of the census right in the space where Peter C and William H would have been. Their neighbors are on the immediately preceding and following pages.

Birth:
BIRTH: IGI 7735608,75

Possessions:
This deed shows William H Bailey and Mary his wife selling land that adjoins Shipwith, who later own sues Peter Bailey. However, it lists William as residing in Charlotte Co. Perhaps he moved there for a time after his marriage.

In this case, he sells a plot of 32 acres on Little Bluestone Creek for $500. This seems a very high price for this land.

Residence:
The deed William executed on this date gives his residence as Charlotte County.

Misc:
I am not yet sure whether the Peter Bailey listed is Peter the father or Peter the brother of William. But he signs as William H. Bailey, so that is likely this Wm.

Notes:

I suspect that Elizabeth Mary Ann was young enough that she went with her parents when they moved out of Mecklenburg. Her marriage would likely be found elsewhere as a result.

It may be that Elizabeth married Anderson Bailey Harralson of Hopkins County, Kentucky. I do not find that marriage in Hopkins County, though. Anderson B Harralson does appear on the 1835 tax list, however Peter Bailey does not.

In the 1840 Hopkins County census, there is an entry for A.B. Harralson with 1 male 20-30, 1 male < 5, 1 male 70-80, 1 female 20-30, 1 female < 5. This makes sense. Supposedly, Anderson and Elizabeth married in 1834 in Montgomery County, Tennessee

Family/Spouse: Anderson Bailey Harralson. Anderson (son of Anderson Bailey Harralson) was born on 23 Nov 1812 in Virginia, United States; died on 24 Jan 1884 in Webster, Kentucky, United States; was buried in Hopkins, Kentucky, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
