Beverly---I am not the expert you wanted on the Rev. War (or anything else, for that matter). However, I think you and I are descended from the same Joseph Bailey. Mine was born 15 September 1809, married Mary (sometimes listed as Sarah or Polly) Smith 11 March 1830, died 26 September 1875. He was a minister. Both are buried at the Mt. Lebanon Cemetery, near where Harrison, Doddridge and Lewis Counties come together. I am descended through their eldest daughter, "Esty", who was born 12 January 1831 and married Christopher Carder 19 January 1848. Let's compare notes (if you wish). My records are all hard copy (as compared to computerized) but I would be happy to make copies and send you.
