Bailey-Britton Family History Book Westmoreland Co VA Cople Parish Deed book 8...page 229 1733 John Bailey "the elder" to James Bailey, land in the forest of Cople Parish, 50 acres, plantation whereon Edward Young now lives, between Yeo comico and Nominy, part of a tract of 250 acres sold to Eleomas More, 1679 and his wife Margaret, by deed bearing date 1683- several exchanges - and made over unto Stephen Bailey 1684 The 50 acres herein mentioned, Stephen Bailey by will of 1697 to his son John Bailey, party of these presents. John "the elder" seems to infer that John Jr. was living at this date; however, he was dead by 1735, when his wife Elizabeth made a deed of gift to her son William Bailey, eldest son of John Jr

Early Settlers of Lee Co VA...vol.1...page 29

John Baley, presumably the above John, son of Stephen, made his will in 1729, probated 1736, mentions only one son, James. But at probate, Stephen Bailey, eldest son, was present and gave his consent to the proof thereof. This John was known as, John the elder, therefore we may assume he also had a son,John, but did not mention him in his will. This son,John Jr died before his father.

Wife's name might have been Elizabeth, last name of WALKER is UNPROVEN (no documentation (birth record) to prove first or last name) Their were several John Bailey's in Virginia at that time. John's will does not list a wife, so her death would have been before June 11 1729 which was the date of her husbands will.

The information in this BIO comes from a book released in 2014 by a gentleman who spent 5 yrs. researching the families of Westmoreland Co. Va. and found a lot of miss information written in other books in the past, and has found as much actual documented info as possible, and a lot of his info disputes past information.
