Joanne I thought if there is a place for births, marriages and deaths in VA I might be able to find Mary Jane. The 1830 VA census has Hezekiah Bailey as HOH. There is no male under 5, one under 10, one between 30-40 and one between 40-50. These are all males. The females are: one under 5, 1 between 10-15, and one bet. 20-30. I have the sheet only, and do not know who these people are. I will ask her where in VA this is.
