Hi, I have noticed a few times that people have made reference to the 1890 Census that was burned in the fire except the small section on Civil War Vets. Is there anyplace that has this information on there site, that I can acess online. I am looking for a James Bailey that I have been told was a Civil War Vet, but I have been having a hard time finding anything at all on him other than his grave site. He is buried in the Pickney Cemetery in Barnes Corners, which I know is in Lewis Co., on the edge of Jefferson Co. His grave stone was damaged by a fallen tree many years ago. I was told that my Grandmother had as much of the stone repaired as possible after the tree fell and broke it into pieces. The only part of the stone that was saved and put back up has this information on it: James Bailey died June 6, 1862 I do know who one of his children was a Charles "Dennis" Bailey that married a Jane C. Wood, but I have been unsuccessful in finding out anything else about him. I haven't been able to find out who his wife was or other children. Charles, Jane and James Bailey are all buried in the same cemetery. I made a special trip last year to go to the Court House in Lowville and I didn't find anything on him. I am not positive, but I think that this James Bailey could be the son of James Bailey and Hannah Strong, but I have been unable to find any evidence to prove it. If this is the right parents for this James Bailey then his birth date would be abt. 1799 in Lowville and He would have two brothers Sylvester Bailey and Daniel Strong Bailey. If this sounds familiar to anyone I would appreciate the help.
