I am looking for info on William Bailey that may be from the Donaghenry Parish of Ireland. He was born around 1797 time frame. William Bailey and wife Jane came to the USA on Aug 1828 at new York. He had a brother David Bailey younger then William who came to New York about 2 years before William. There may be Bailey graves in the old Donaghenry Graveyard. Is there a way to find out about who is buried these? There was also another brother John who stayed in Ireland. I am looking for the home town for this Bailey family. Thanks Gerry Sent from Windows Mail
