Notes
Backus, Reno Warburton. The Backus Families of Early New England, 1966, p.8. < FamilySearch >
"Lydia, b. say 1637; m. before the move to Norwich, John Bailey, who d. at Haddam, Ct., 1696. She was living in 1674, d. before 1696. John Bailey was constable at Hartford; Was made freeman, 1657; one of the original proprietors of Haddam, 1662."
She is not the daughter of Thomas Smith as may be read in several published genealogies. This is discounted by Torrey, Jacobus and NEGHR.
