Ed, Thank you. We show his service during the War of 1812 as a Quartermaster. Did he become a Major later on? Also, is the name of the cemetery "Bailey Family" on Greathouse Road, or is called Greathouse cemetery? In other words, we have cemetery as "Bailey Family" and location as Greathouse Road, Kinsale. The source for that is from somebody's personal visit, but I don't know whose. Many thanks for the reply. The first two today were surname Bailey! The other one, John C Bailey, was supposedly born in Lancaster County but served, lived and died in Middlesex.

Co. History I believe says quartermaster, but somewhere I think that was changed. He was known as Major B. Bailey Family Cem. is ok. Both have been used. Many of these people served in multiple companies with different rank. Suspect most buried at home. If you wanted to go into it, use WCH and cross check names with Dal Mallory's book.
