About Johan "John" Bailey, Sr.
Came from England on the ship "Angel Gabriel". which was shipwrecked in Penaquid, now Bristol, Maine, in a great storm of August 1635. Because of this terrible experience, he never crossed the ocean again to bring his wife, his son Robert and two or more daughters from England. He was a weaver by trade, settled in Newbury, MA around 1637. Known as a venturesome and wandering spirit. He built a log cabin deep in the forest beyond Merrimac River where he fished and lived in solitude. In those days fish was an important article of food and sole right of fishing in the Powow River was granted to him. It was known as Bailey's Hill.
John was a defendant in a court case in Essex County, MA, 1651. He was sentenced by the court to return to England by the next vessel or send for his wife to come over to him, but the order was never obeyed as he died soon after."
