Macon was formed Dec. 14, 1837 from Houston and Marion Counties. PHILIP BAILEY b. 1760-1769 was in Houston County, Ga. when Macon was formed and where he lived in the 15th District was ceded to Macon. I am wondering if the 15th District where he lived was in the area ceded back to Marion so that he ended up living in three counties without ever moving.
