Posted on: Jackson Co. Ar Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Jackson/185 Surname: ------------------------- I was born in Newport Arkansas, Jackson Co. February 2,1950 to Robert Leo Bailey and Mary Josephine Raney Bailey of Tuckerman. My father is the son of Joseph Bailey and Elizabeth (Lizzie) Cochran Bailey. My father passed away when I was 14 or 15 years old. I never met or knew him. My father had brothers named Ruchel, Ed and Hubert. There are more but I don't know the names. I don't know if there are any sisters. I did met my Uncle Ed one time. We wrote occassionally. I guessed he passed away when the letters stopped. I was never notified or found out when he died. My father was married before my mother. I don't know his first wife's name but they had a son named Dennis Bailey (Milam). Dennis was later adopted. I met Dennis one time. We lost contact. I am looking for anyone that knew my father or relatives from his brothers. I need to have some connection to my father. I have only a few pictures my mother gave me and old letters that my grandmother gave me. That's not enough. I need to have more to make him real....good or bad...I need to know him.
