To List Members and Ralph who asked about Philip Bailey on the Greene County, Georgia, list, I am cross posting to several lists for counties adjoining Greene County, Georgia. Maybe someone else can answer Ralph's Bailey question because my Bailey files have never made it back to my filing cabinet. Still in one of these piles on the floor. I suggest you look in Wilkes County, Georgia, and its surrounding counties for Baileys. There were a whole lot of them who spread out from the area. Also in Lincoln County, but I am not on that list. There are Bailey connections to my Edmonds line, but not in my direct line. One of my ancestors was Francis Edmonds (Edmunds, etc) who died with a will made in Wilkes County in 1795 and probated in 1799. An educated guess on the birth of Francis Edmonds (Edmunds, Edmons, etc.)would be somewhere around 1725 give or take a few years either way. My great grandparents, James Edmonds and Sarah Pollard are buried in the cemetery at Rayle, Wilkes County. They married in Wilkes County in 1849. By 1900 their son, James and his family, werein the Durhamtown Community of Greene County between Woodville/Temperance Bell Crossroads and Bethesday Church. My Edmonds line comes from Francis, through John who married Winifred Buckner, James b. 1776 d. 1826. James married twice once in Lincoln County and then migrated over to Oglethrope County for the 1820 census with his father John and his presumed brother, Anthony. James m. Sarah/Sallie R/Ross Bruce in Wilkes County in 1812. In the published marriage records their names were mis-transcribed as Edwards and Brewer. Some of the Wilkes County deeds were mis-indexed as Edwards. Two of Francis and Rachel _?_ Edmonds daughters married Baileys. This is proved by Francis's will of 1795-1799 where one daughter had married a Bailey before 1795. Then before Rachel died c. 1824 after migrating further west in Georgia, another daughter had married a Bailey before 1824. Given names of these Bailey men have not been proven. An Azariah Bailey witnessed Francis Edmonds will. Francis Edmonds and Azariah Bailey are listed in the court minutes of Halifax County, Virginia, for public claims arising out of the Revolutionary War. Francis Edmonds first appears there c. 1768. A William Edmonds m. a Rebecca Bailey in Wilkes County and migrated to Alabama after the War of 1812 in which he servied in the Wilkes County Militia. Parents of Rebecca Bailey have not been identified. My educated guess is that this William who married Rebecca Bailey was probably the son of Richard, the son of Frances Edmonds. Some time ago I did a lot of posting about Edmonds and Bailey. Some people sent me some rather large files on Baileys, but none identified the Bailey men who married the Edmonds women. Maybe the people who sent me the files will contact Ralph.

Hi Vivian, Thanks for the BAILEY info. I did go to Wilkes County GenWeb and found over 100 hits for BAILEY. Unfortunately I could not connect to any of them. Only familiar names were WILLIAM and JOHN and I am sure you know about trying to connect to those names. If you run across a PHILIP BAILEY would appreciate it if you would let me know.
