BAILEY GENEALOGY. ]/\~JES, ]OHN, AND THOMAS, /; ND THEIR DESCENDANTS. IN THREE PARTS. EDITED BY HOLLIS~- ~EY. Somerville, .Maee. : TUB CITIZEN COKl'ilT, 18911. PUBLISHED BY DIRECTION OF BAILEY-BAYLEY FAMILY ASSOCIATION. MOTI'O: " Semper Fldells." INTRODUCTION. In 1858 Alfred Poor of Salem, Mass., published an extended 1ccount of Richard Bailey of Rowley, Mass., and his descend ants in a book entitled "Historical and Genealogical Researches in the Merrimack Valley." In 1891 Miss Anna M. Bailey of Lynn, :\Iasi;., published a pamphlet entitled" A Sketch of One Branch of the Bailey Family." In 1 ~195 Mrs. Hannah C. Hopkins of Providence, R. I., pub lished an account of William Bailey of Newport, R. I., and some 9f his <lesc,:ndants in a book entitled "Records of the Bailey Family." · These .are the only books of Bailey genealogy we have found thus far published. ·it has been and always must be an important part of the work of ·.he Bailey-Bayley Family Association to gather genea logical · nformation, and to make a permanent record of the same. The annual reports of the Association already published contai·, a good deal of interesting and valuable family history. Tnc present volume contains what has been collected by the crJmmittees on genealogy of the Association relating to the three original settlers, Thomas of Weymouth, John of Salisbury and James of Rowley and their descendants. Some portions are quite complete, others very incomplete. The aim of the . compilers has been to furnish a clear and well arranged account of the material on hand, so that the same may be preserved in a convenient and accessible form, and may serve as a basis for '•·rther research and a more complete statement at some \°-.iture day. -Much has been found in town histories, especially in Blod tctte's Early St:i.tlers of Rowley, Barry's History of Hanover, Coffin's History of Newbury, Houghton's History of Berlin, and Dean's History of Scituate. The compilers desire to thank the various members of the II INTRODUCTION. Association and others interested who have kint valuable information and material. The female lines have not been carried beyond ..... ,. generation. The system of arrangement is not unlike that used by the New England Hilitoric Genealogical Society. Each new name receives a marginal number. The numbers of the nar,1cs which are carried forward into the next generation are prinud in largl:! black type.. A new feature is the adding in small type of 11age refer ences. It is believed that this will add much to the value of the book. Each part is separately numbered. The index contains year of birth where known and the page reference. It is not known that Thomas of Weymouth, John of Salis bury and James of' Rowley were related to each other, They are joined in this book merely for convenience and to render the book of more general interest and value. The spelling of the name Bailey has never been very uni form. We still find in France-the name spelled Bailly, in Scot land, Baillie, and in England and America, Baily, Bailey and Bayley. For the rnost part the spelling Bailey has been used in this book. In some cases where it was thought that Bayley was the spelling UE1ed by the persons in question, that mode has been adopted. It should be noted that Gen. Jacob 13.iyley of the_ John of Salisbury branch wrote his name Bayley. This was overlooked in print:ing until too late to be corrected. Thanks are du:e to Mrs. Gertrude E. Bailey for prepariny the index·. A list of errors thus far noted is given immediately after this introduction. The editor suggests that each purchaser of the book immediately make the corrections indicated. HOLLIS R. BAILEY, • Editor. September, 1899. ERRATA.
