    3. Hello All, I am looking for any information on the William and Sarah mentioned below no matter how vague it might be. Also any other information relating to this particular Bailey "branch". According to Ron Turner's book Prince William County, Virginia, Marriages 1854-1900, James Robert Baley was married to Margaret Ann Gollyhan on 5 Aug.1866. He was age 46, a widower, born in Culpeper County, son of William and Sarah Baley. Margaret Ann was 29, born in Prince William County, but her parents are not identified. It looks like Margaret was not his first wife. On the 1860 census of Prince William County, James R. Bailey is shown, age 33, living at Dumfries, farmer, b. Va., with wife Margaret A., 23, b. Va, and child James R. age 1, b. Va. [dwelling 735, family 710, from David Turner's abstract, which says that James R. Bailey served in Company G, 49th Va. Infantry; prisoner of war 19 Oct. 1864, Point Lookout Prison, Md.] Either he had two wives named Margaret A., or this is the same woman he was to marry in 1866.
