Bailey. Jeremiah is known to have lived earlier in Ward and Alfred, Allegany Co. His wife at the time of his death was named either Eliza or Caroline, depending on which record is checked. Cora might have been born c. 1857. I theorize that Cora and Wm. were children of Jeremiah's wife by an earlier marriage to a Mr. Benjamin. Does this tie-in to anything you have? > >
