You might also check out the Ice surname board on genforum.com--many ICEs there. Also see Bayles name as Baily/Bayless. www.bribling.net/nc.html (maybe that will work- couldn't get the other one to work) has data on John Bayles (Baily/Bayless) 1664; purchases land from the indians (natives of Staten Island). Men on document: John Baily (Bayles), Daniel Dentony & Luke Watson. Gov. of NJ repurchased the land from John Bayles who never setteld in NY. Have seen a listing of "Captives Released by Col. Bouquet- 1765" Ice, Catherine, Christian, Elizabeth, Eve, John, Lewis , Thomas & William. Listing is alpha. Question as to wheither Mary Ice or Mary Bayles was mother of Tecumseh. Arguement being that Mary Bayles would have been too young to have been his mother. Not going to get into that tho- because I don't know one way or the other!!!! I am not a direct descendant of any Ice but have cousins who are. The Ky Ice married into the Dawsons (my line); Joseph Frederick Ice m Prudence Essex, sis of my GGm. Near relation but not direct.
