American Independence during the War of the Revolution were as
follows:

the 6th

On this same application it listed other children not previously
listed:
Hannah & Joel. Eunice rather than Emma was also listed. There was
no
listing for Emma. This was probably due to transcription error on the
name.

"Samuel Bailey served in the French and Indian Wars in Connecticut
almost continuously from 1755 to 1762.
(Conn. Historical Society Collections, Volumes IX & X,
Hartford, 1903; French and Indian War Rolls).
He entered the army in 1755 at the age of 15 under Capt. Street Hall
of
Wallingford, Conn. (Col. IX, p. 68, 69,193). He later served under
various
officers, among them Capt. Joel Clark of Southington, probably the
father
(or brother) of Ruth, whom he later married. (Vol. X, p. 16,132,276,
326).
Sometime before 1770 he moved with his family to Albany County, New
York, King's District, now Columbia County. When the Revolution began
he again entered the army and was commissioned Oct. 20, 1775, Ensign
in
Capt. Elijah Hudson's Company of Colonel Wm. Bradford Whiting's
Regiment (17th) of Albany County Militia, King's District.
(N.Y. State Archives, Vol. I, "Documents relating to the

Samuel
Bailey and others formed a company of Associated Exempts of King's
District, Albany County.

Susan DeHart also made this note one 18 Sep 1993 correspondence:
"Reason Samuel Bailey, II, his son Timothy, etc. excommunicated from
Whitesboro Baptist Church was because they didn't attend after
joining,
so much for brotherly love in that part of the world in those days;
church
sounded stuffy from minutes library copied."
Susan further notes: "the library at South New Berlin, NY sent me the
papers about Chloe Bailey, etc.; also information about coffins
Baileys
bought to use for their relatives; perhaps more coming from them when
Sage articles copied by local historian; have land deeds and wills
also
which I need to read more carefully."
South New Berlin News article on Bailey Family History: "Samuel
Bailey
was a medium tall, muscular man but rather spare. His features were
sharp and clear cut. He was a farmer and cleared the land on which
his
later years were spent." ....."It is recorded in Sylvester's History
of
Rensselaer County, page 494, thta Samuel was pathmaster for a cection
of the town that year."
