From ages of children of 1840, census of Chattooga county, GA. and also from names and ages on 1860, census I have concluded that there had to be at least 11 children.
I am not certain about Newton Bailey. But that given name has been carried down to this day thru this family. There was a Newton Bailey and a Richard Bailey that both married in 1856 in what is now Faulkner county. I am almost certain that these were two children of John D. Also believe but unable to prove yet that Newton's wife was probably a sister to the husband of Mary E. Bailey.
From land patient records I know that this family was in the Arkansas area by 1860, but believe probably a few years earlier. There were no other Bailey families in this area this early. I have been able to locate the property that John D. lived on the last few years of his life.
If you can help me with this family please let me know. Thank you for visiting.
