No David gravesite, but perhaps that of his daughter will help fill in some blanks.

Dundee, Scotland) who came to Sampson Co. abt. 1770, and died there in 1794. Wife was Mary Williamson Bailey (prob. died in TN). Their issue were: Charles, Mary, Anna, Catherine, James, Jane, David, William Stuart, Duncan and Daniel. I think that most of children went to TN and died there, but any record of David Bailey would be incredibly terrific. My motto is "they can run but they can't hide" -- but then I'm an optimist. Many thanks for any scraps on this crowd (ah for a complicated, unusual surname <g>). Cary
