Have you determined who Thomas Bailey's wife Ann was? My 6th Great Grandfather was William New (son of Edmund New of Licking Hole Creek in Goochland County) Edmund New had several Daughters one of which was Ann New. Ann is the only daughter I haven't been able to find out who she married. Ann's sister Mary New married John Prior/Pryor, Rebecca New married Thomas Christian, etc. etc. Bottom line is I strongly believe that Ann New married Thomas Bailey, but haven't found the proof. They were all neighbors on Licking Hole Creek. Thomas and Ann Bailey were witnesses to the will of John Pryor in 1755. If Ann Bailey was in fact Mary (New) Prior/Pryor's Sister that would make sense for them to witness John Pryors will. My William New (son of Edmund New) was born about 1695, so your Thomas Bailey's Ann would be born about the same time give or take a few years. I found where Edmund New deeded to my ancestor (his son) William New February Court 1722 Henrico County Va. Page 230. John Pryer, THOMAS BAILY, and Joseph Aslin prove deed of Edmund New to William New. Same Court date February 1722 Henrico County. John Pryer, THOMAS BAILY and Joseph Ashlin prove deed of Edmund New to John Tuly. I don't know who Joseph Ashlin was, but I know John Pryer/Prior/Pryor and John Tuly (married to Sarah New) were Edmund New's son-in-Law's, I believe strongly Thomas Baily was another son-in-law married to Edmunds Daughter Ann New. Would appreciate your input on this. Bette (New) Sousa Carmichael, Ca.
