Gayle Stewart Wilson Has been working on Ann Fleming’s husband, James Bailey and we believe, so far, that he was not the son of John Bailey, Jr & Elizabeth Bailey and we don’t know his parents.
The better evidence indicates he had been smerged into the James Bailey, of Fauquier County who married Hannah Bailey and that they are different people.
If anyone knows differently, please advise.
I have different news from this book:
Beers, Donna. “Stephen Bailey : b. 1625 England, d. 1697 Virginia.” Page 20. < FamilySearch link >
So we’re not quite there yet.
This book states that James Bailey died abt 1762 in Chesterfield Co, VA. Does anyone have information that James Bailey ever lived in Chesterfield Co?
The James Bailey who married Anne Fleming in 1755 is said to have died in 1779 in Warren Co, NC. FamilySearch.org has children born to them in 1762 (Ann), 1763 (James) and 1763 (Mildred Millie) after James had died according to this book.
From the book Baileys From Bute:
The origin of Baileys from Bute resides in the fact that all documented research by the many who have come before shows that one James Bailey, who was born about 1730, had come to migrate from Virginia, probably Westmoreland County, to North Carolina in the early to mid 1770’s with his family, of which we know of two sons.
The name of his wife is not even known, but there is every reason to believe that she was a Fleming and was a sister to a John and Peter Fleming who had also migrated nearby and had married Bailey sisters, Mary and Martha Bailey, who are also thought to have been sisters to James Bailey.

The author of this book has no proof that a James Bailey, possibly from Westmoreland Co, VA, even married a Fleming and migrated to Bute, Warren, NC. We are not told who this James Bailey's parents might possibly be.
James Bailey, son of John Bailey and Elizabeth Carr, had sisters named Judith and Elizabeth. I have not found any sisters named Mary and Martha in this family.
I just read the beginning of the book and I’m uploading a few pages to profiles.
To me, this is current research (1995) from a descendant. I’m sure he was quite aware of the Westmorland / Faquier Bailey families and is pointedly excluding them as origins.
Am I correct that this is far more recent than the other books seen?
Because if so, and because of its simplicity and logic & documentation, I would be inclined to disconnect from descendants of Stephen Bailey.

I think Peter Fleming needs to be added as a brother of Ann, because there’s clearly a cousin marriage.
