Relationship2nd great-grandfather of Howard Louis Bailey.

NoteIn his will, James named Nathaniel and Harriet Bailey as his parents. The Nathaniel Bailey who is buried in Marlborough is shown as born Sept 1783 and died 1848. In HIS will, he names Harriet as his wife. These therefore appear to be James' parents. Donna Beers' history "Nicholas, John, & Elias Bailey of New York" gives Nathaniel's parents as John Bailey (also buried in Marlborough) and Magdalane Coutant. A/o March 2007, one IGI record shows a marriage between Magdalene Coutant to John Bally, dates approximately right.
