• Notes

  There are two different death dates indicated: 28 FEB 1815 and 1841. New South Berlin Newspaper article on Bailey History: "Nothing whatever is known of the family of Ruth Bailey. She died some twelve years before her husband and was but indistinctly remembered by those living in 1892 when the older members of the family were visited. She ws rather short and stout and was a woman of genial temperment. Her church affiliations, if any, are not known". Mr. Henry Bailey writes: "Pomeroy's History of Oneida county speaks...of his wife as a heroine. It reads that Mrs. Bailey heard the hogs squaling. She ran to the pen and discovered a large bear trying to make a meal out of the hogs. She struck the bear with a club. He desisted for a moment and then returned to the attack. But as often as he did so, down would come the club on his head. Finally two carpenters who were at work for Mr. Bailey came and drove the bear away. Mr. Bailey was away from home at that time." !BIRTH: DAR Application papers for Edith M.
