Hi Gerald: I don't have the book in front of me but this sounds like the Bailey's that are recorded in Robert Wendel Camm's, The Camm's of Usborne. (Usborne Township, Ontario, Canada) Is your bunch Bible Christian then I would recommend that source. If instead your Bailey's were Quaker then I suggest looking at a very faded text that it is in the London Room at London Public Library, London, Ontario which is called Old Sparta and its neighborhood, Elgin County, Ontario Buck, Charles Spurgeon 1979. This book is very faded and very difficult to read but the sections on the Bailey family in Sparta, Elgin County, Ontario is somewhat readable. The name Bailey has several alternate spellings Bayly was most common in England and Ireland and also Bealey according to my sources the name is very ancient and represents the jobs of the Bayly Men who were basically Engineers who constructed fortifications for the Motte-and-Bayly early castle works. As a result there are multiple Bailey/Bealy/Baeley/Bayly names out of Ireland and England that are really not related. However, the story you tell about one being born while on the way over matches close to my mom's relations at Usborne. Leonard G. Fluhrer III len3@golden.net
