Name	Bailey, John
Christening	19 Dec 1613	Bromham,Wilts,Eng
Gender	Male
Death	(inv) 5 Mar 1690/1	Newbury,Essex,MA
Notes	CHR: C. W. Shickle, comp, "A Copy of the Register of the Parish of Bromham, Wiltshire" (typescript, 1908), unpaginated (FHL #1526698 item 16). NOTE: John is identified in the will of his father, John Bailey of Newbury, 28 Oct 1651, proved 13 Apr 1652, inv 12 Nov 1651 (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 3 vols. [Salem, MA, 1916-20], 1:145-46 [FHL #974.45 P2p]). John's birth year is calculated from age 65 on oath of allegiance taken at Newbury in 1678 (RECORDS AND FILES OF THE QUARTERLY COURTS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 9 vols. [Salem, MA, 1911-75], 7:156 [FHL #974.45 P2e]). The origin of the Baileys was said to be Chippenham, Wilts (Joshua Coffin, A SKETCH OF THE HISTORY OF NEWBURY [Boston: 1845], 18, 294 [FHL #6050089]). Chippenham par regs do not include the baptism of John or his brother Robert. However, John's baptism is found in the nearby parish of Bromham, 19 Dec 1613, the son of John Bayly the Younger and wife Anne. In support of this theory is an only brother Robert, also named in the will of John Bailey, Sr, of Newbury, above. MAR: No mar rec found. Four documents suggest John Bailey's wife Eleanor is the dau of John Emery. The will of John Emery, which does not identify all his children by name, makes Joseph Bailey overseer in the event that his son John Emery or son-in-law Abram Merrill die before the provisions of the will are carried out. Joseph Bailey is the son of John and Eleanor Bailey. The will of John Bailey, Sr, of Newbury, 28 Oct 1651, proved 13 Apr 1652, calls John Emery, Sr, "brother" (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 3 vols. [Salem, MA, 1916-20], 1:145-46 [FHL #974.45 P2p]). John Bailey, Sr, is the father of John Bailey, whose wife was Eleanor. The term brother was sometimes applied to men whose children married. The estate of Isaac Brown of Newbury was administered by his widow, Rebecca, who is the dau of John and Eleanor Bailey. In an agreement concerning the disposal of the estate, 29 Sep 1674, Rebecca desired that her "brother" [brother-in-law] Francis Brown and uncle John Emery be overseers of the agreement (PROBATE RECORDS, 2:398). The suggestion is that John Emery is a brother of Rebecca's mother, Eleanor. Finally, Samuel Sewall wrote in his diary on 21 May 1704: "The aged [James] Ordway comes to see me, complains bitterly of his cousin John Emery's carriage to his wife, which makes her leave him and go to her sister Bayly" ("Diary of Samuel Sewall, 1674-1729," COLLECTIONS OF THE MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL SOCIETY, 5th series, 6[1879]:102 [FHL #1011923]). Hence, James Ordway's wife, Anne Emery, had a sister who married a Bailey. DEATH: No death rec found. See the will of John Bailey of Newbury, 30 Dec 1690, proved 31 Mar 1691, inv 5 Mar 1690/1, Essex Co. Probate, (o.s.) 304:318-19 (FHL #960486). OCC: Weaver ~LDS ORDINANCES BEPS: IGI
