About Thomas Bailey

A colonial soldier, serving under Captain Lothrop, who died in the Battle of Bloody Brook. The soldiers were guarding a haul of grain that teamsters were moving to storage.

Thomas Bayley's origins are being researched for this memorial. He was probably of Weymouth, Suffolk, Massachusetts, and probably died single and childless. He had an uncle, also named Thomas Bayley, who also served in King Philip's War; that Thomas Bayley, husband of Ruth Porter, survived the war.

The THomas Bayley who died at Bloody Brook may have lived in Salem Farms (present-day Beverly), Essex County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, per Eben Putnam.
