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]

Note: Slave M < 10 is pretty illegible. So, this is inferred from the total minus the rest of the people.

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
1835-1840 Pope Co tax lists - found no Bailey. Did find John Hill
1839 Crawford Co tax list - No FB Bailey, instead PH Bailey

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:

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.

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.

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, TennesseeFamily/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.

Notes:
Apparently, Giles never married. He never appears with a wife or family in the census and bequeaths all his property to his siblings and their families.
Graduation:
While this catalog says that it was published in 1845, at the end, it includes individual catalogs for several subsequent years, including 1845 when Giles P. Bailey graduated. At this point, he was living in Rockingham County, NC.
In medical school, his graduation essay was on amenorrhea.
Census:
In the 1880 census, Otway's children are living with Giles while Otway is away working. The girl is missing, possibly not having survived. There are a number of black servants in the house that appear to be listed in wills from Giles parents.
Will:

Notes:
It appears that after the Civil War, Otway and Laura married. She died, maybe in childbirth. He then married her sister Martha (Mattie), who also seems to have died before he moved back to NC. In North Carolina, his children went to live with relatives.
It appears that Otway moved west with other extended family members. He married a woman whose mother appears to be related to his mother. There are a number of Bethell, Watt, and Stubblefield families in Dallas County, Arkansas apparently with roots in North Carolina.
The book Stubblefield : eight generations of a family in Rockingham & Caswell Counties, North Carolina & Calloway County, Kentucky ; including filial lines Bethell, Boaz, Harris, Holderby, Lawson, Johnston, Montgomery, Moore, Walton, Waters & Womack in the FHL / FHC includes Otway Bailey. Available online in a FHC.
Census:
O.L. Bailey is listed as owning 24 slaves in the 1850 census
Census:
Four slaves are listed in the Northern Division of Rockingham county in households other than OL Bailey's, but he is noted as the owner. Looks like these people are contracted into the other households.
In the home of David Osborn are a female age 25 and a female age 1.
In the home of Samuel S Williams is a female age 11.
Census:
This appears to be O.L. Bailey's home. Here, he is listed as owning 17 slaves, one of whom is a fugitive from the state.
Interestingly in the population schedule, while Otway's neighbors before and after him in the slave schedule appear. But Otway does not appear among them in the population schedule.
Military:
9 Texas Field Battery, also known as Lamar's Artillery, was formerly known as Capt. Daniel's Co. Texas Artillery, and as Daniels Battery. A lot of these units were part of the "Trans Mississippi Infantry" and had names that spanned Arkansas and Texas.
Military:
From this I might gather that O.L Bailey enlisted, was detached to a different organization, was discharged from that organization, and word might not have got back to his original unit.
Census:
In the 1870 census, Otway is listed with a wife, Laura, and three children, Pinck, Fannie, and Otway L. Additionally, in the household are a Daniel Harrison, age 21, and a Delilah Bailey, age 35, black, with her children. It looks like one child is listed as mulatto and one black. Since this is 1870, no relationship is provided. These could be a family that were previously slaves of the family. It would be worth checking the slave schedules.
There are also several other Baileys living nearby. Check these against Otway Sr.'s will.
Census:
Listed as a boarder.
Is this really the right Otway? Or is this another.

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?

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.

Notes:
According to O.L. Bailey in the history of Tarrant and Parker counties:
* At the time of publication, only three children were still living
* John and Robert both received headrights in Titus county. One died in 1844, one in 1850.
* 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.
* Moved to Franklin Co., AR in 1837
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.
