BAILY HERITAGE STORY ONE BLOODLINE BRANCH VIRGINIA -- KENTUCKY -- OHIO RESEARCHED BY: JAMES F. CARVER FEBUARY , 1999 James F. Carver 610 Gay Street Box 214 Portsmouth, Ohio 45662-0214 heritage@zoomnet.net February, 1999 BAILEY__________**ANCIENT HISTORY From researching the early English ancient manuscripts such as the Doomsday Book (compiled in 1086 AD by William the Conqueror). The Ragman Rolls. The Wall Poem. The Honor Rolls of the Battle of Abbey. The Curia Rolls. The Pipe Rolls. The Falaise Rolls. Tax Records. Baptismal of Parish and Church Records. One can discover the first records of the BAILEY name. It was in the year 1066 A. D. that the surname "BAILEY" first appeared in the Northumberland England. Records indicate BAILEY'S were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy for their distinguished assistance, at the Battle of Hastings, in 1066 AD. While the BAILEY Heritage indicates they were from the Norman Race, which have a French origin, to be more accurate they were of Viking Origin. The Vikings landed in the Orkneys and Northern Scotland about 870 AD. Under King Stirgud the Stout. Later, under the Earl Thorfinn Rollo, they invaded France about 940 AD. After Rollo laid siege to Paris, France. The French King, Charles the Simple, finally conceded defeat and granted northern France to Rollo. Duke William, who invaded and defeated England in 106, was a descendant from the first Duke Rollo of Normandy. The original Norman name for "BAILEY" was Bailieul -En-Vimeu. The name of a character who settled Northumberland England. Since his time the "BAILEY" name has been translated or spelled in over 30 different forms. Some common spelling examples are as follows....Baillie: Bailey: Bayly: Bailye: etc. The ancient "BAILEY COAT OF ARMS" was blue with nine silver stars with the Crest being a boar's head. The "BAILEY" family motto was...."Use Bene Ibi Patia" which translates...."Where There is Good. That is My Country". Similar to "Ubi Libertas Ibi Patria" which translates to "Where There is Freedom. There is My Fatherland". One of the first known BAILEY'S in America was...Thomas Bailey (abt. 1590-1619). Young Thomas Bailey was a Governor's Guard, who had come to America and settled in Jamestown, Virginia, this couple had on record, the first Bailey child born, a daughter, here in America.... Temperance Bailey...born 1617. Thomas Bailey contracted malaria and died in 1619, there in Jamestown, Virginia, his only child, Temperance Bailey (1617-1652) would grow up and marry Richard Cocke. The following is the heritage of just one Bloodline Branch of an early BAILEY pioneer family that helped to settle America. JAMES BAILEY (BALY) James Bailey was born around 1714, in England. In early Court Records James' surname was spelled..."Baly". James married his, LUCY SIMMS, in England around 1734. The earliest known record existing indicates James, was in (then), Henrico County, Virginia in 1736 and 1737. James was listed in John Nash's Sheriff's Bonds along with Richard Belcher. James lived in the "Skinquarter" region of western (then) Henrico County, Virginia, (now) Chesterfield County, Virginia. James would live on land, belonging to Richard Belcher, one of the early pioneers who settled, and gained land patents for this region. Richard Belcher, would become the father-in-law of James' son Richard Bailey. James and Lucy would have five children. Which were....: RICHARD (b) 1735 Lancaster, England (d) 1818 Tazewell County, Virginia (m) 1762 - Chesterfield County, Virginia To: ELIZABETH ANNE BELCHER d\o: Richard Belcher and Mary Clay Benjamin (b) ??? Chesterfield County, Virginia (d) abt. 1807 Chesterfield County, Virginia (m) Sarah.....unknown? Elizabeth (b) ??? Chesterfield County, Virginia (d) ??? (m) To: Thomas Malton Mary (b) ??? Chesterfield County, Virginia (d) ??? (m) To: Peter Daniel James, Jr. (b) ??? Chesterfield County, Virginia (d) abt. 1816 Chesterfield County, Virginia (m) 1st- Elizabeth..???? (m) 2nd- 21 January, 1789 To: Elizabeth Lockett Chesterfield County, Virginia James and Lucy would raise their children there in (now) Chesterfield County, Virginia. James was a member of the Dale Parish districts, whose First Church was call "Swift Creek" And "Great Swamp" Church, which was built in 1736. It was on 4 February 1764 when Lucy (Simms) Bailey, Submitted (probate) her husband James' "Will" to the Chesterfield County, Virginia Courts. Lucy passed away there, in Chesterfield County, Virginia, shortly after 1764, but the exact date is still unknown. Both James and Lucy (Simms) Bailey, are buried in, unmarked graves, on the property, then owned by their son, James Bailey Jr.. James Jr. owned a 77-acre farm, there in Chesterfield County, Virginia, which had a family cemetery plot upon it. ___________________________________________ The Bloodline focus will now be with a son of James and Lucy Bailey..... RICHARD BAILEY RICHARD PAYTON BAILEY Richard Bailey was born around 1735 in Lancaster, England. A Son of James and Lucy (Simms) Bailey. Richard was just an infant, when his parents brought him from England to settle in the "Colonies" (USA), back in early 1736. Richard would begin his childhood growing up in, (then) Henrico County, Virginia.....this area became known as, Chesterfield County, Virginia in 1749. While little is known about Richard's childhood, he was raised in the Dale Parish District, and he became a member of the Swift Creek Church, (AKA) Great Swamp Church. Richard would purchase a 170-acre farm close to his Father, there on Middle Creek, in (now) Chesterfield County, Virginia. Richard paid $20 British pounds, for this farm on 1 March 1760, from John Skelton, land located in what's called the "Skinquarter Section", of western Chesterfield County, Virginia. Richard's brother, Benjamin Bailey, also purchased a connecting 100 acres to Richard's farm, from John Skelton in 1761. Richard, now a property owner, worked hard to become a member of the community in which he lived. To help protect his community, there in 1760, Richard became part of the local Militia. He would serve under the, Command of Colonial William Byrd, in the 1st Virginia Regiment. Now established on his own, Richard would take a bride in 1762. He married ELIZABETH ANNE BELCHER, there in Dale Parish, Chesterfield County, Virginia. Elizabeth was born around 1742 in Chesterfield County, Virginia, and was the daughter of Richard Belcher and Mary Obedience Clay. There in Chesterfield County, Virginia, Richard and Elizabeth would have one child....: John (b) 1764 (d) 1836....Tazewell County, Virginia (m) To: Nancy Davidson abt. 1783 (d) 1806 d\o, John and Martha Davidson Indians murdered (John Davidson) On 29 September 1764 Richard and Elizabeth, would sell their 170-acre farm, on Middle Creek, there in Chesterfield County, Virginia. Most likely due to improvements, Richard was able to double his money, by selling this farm, for $40 British pounds, when he sold it to Morgan Sexton. Richard's land would naturally be sold numerous times, until his 170-acre tract (plus a 100-acre tract attached once belonging to, Richard's brother, Benjamin Bailey, purchased in 1761). Would end up being, a part of a 305-acre tract called "Cottage Grove", by 1860. Which Dr. David Wilkinson, owned at that time. The ruins of Richard Bailey's home, is still there today, but the original home built by Dr. Wilkinson, burnt down in 1935. Wilkinson's home set right in the middle, of the original Richard Bailey tract of land. Richard and Elizabeth and family in 1764, joined a migration westward, of several families, led by Elizabeth (Belcher) Bailey's brother, Isham Belcher, and his 1st wife, Elizabeth Clay, whom Isham married on 2 June 1759, in Chesterfield County, Virginia. This wagon train of settlers, migrated to, (then) Blackwater, Bedford County, Virginia, (now) Franklin County since 1785. Elizabeth's brother, Isham Belcher, and wife, Elizabeth, would raise a large family, there in (then) Bedford County. Isham would return to Chesterfield County, where he married his second wife, Winifred Royall on 38 May 1789. The area Richard Bailey and family resettled briefly in, was then known as, Bedford County, Virginia. An area created in, 1753 from, Albemarle and Lunenburg Counties, of Virginia. This area changed to Franklin County in 1785, long after Richard left the area. Franklin County created in 1785 from Bedford, Henry and Patrick Counties, of Virginia. There in (then), Bedford County, Virginia, Richard and Elizabeth, would have four children.....: Richard (b) 1765 Payton Jr. (d) 1845 Rock, (now) Mercer County, West Virginia (m) 1st Jane Harmond - 1785 (m) 2nd Isabel Ferguson - 1790 in Tazewell County, Virginia d\o Samuel Ferguson and Mary Jamesom James (b) 1766 (d) 1850 (now) Wyoming County, West Virginia (m) 1789 1 September, 1789 Montgomery County, Virginia To: Margaret Stinson d\o Robert Stinson Chloe (b) abt. 1767 (d) ???

Naomi Shufflebarger By 1770 Richard Bailey and his growing family would settle in, (then) Montgomery County, Virginia. Richard purchased a 330-acre farm for, $200 British pounds, in 1787, located on, Cove Springs, a branch of the Bluestone River, from John Davidson. The actual deed was dated after John Davidson's death. Indians murdered him, on 9 March 1799, when the area was known as, Wythe County. The same territory changed in 1800, to be known as, Tazewell County, Virginia. It was while Richard Bailey was living in, (then) Montgomery County, Virginia, that the Revolutionary War Erupted. One can only assume why Richard did not actually fight in the War. He was in his forties with a house full of children, thus probably too busy trying to survive. Richard is credited, for aiding the "Colonies" efforts to gain independence for England....in DAR records, he's listed for his "Personal Service" which means he was "involved" in the War effort, but did not fight. On 30 August 1787, Richard would survey and claim by land grant another 209-acres, in (then) Montgomery County, Virginia. When Richard appeared on the Montgomery County tax list, he owned 2 horses, 7 cattle, and no slaves. Richard also added another 40 acres, to his 330-acre farm, on Cove Springs, on 5 March 1789. On this tract Richard established a Mill, (area now Tazewell County, Virginia). While living on Cove Springs, (area now Tazewell County, Virginia). Richard and Elizabeth, would add five more children, to their family, which were......: Reuben (b) 1770 (d) 1846 Tazewell County, Virginia (m) 1st 1775 Sarah Ferguson d\o Samuel Ferguson and Mary Jameson (m) 2nd 4 May 1830 Tazewell County Virginia To: Milly (Mary) Belcher (widow of Henry Belcher) Archibald (b) 1773 (d) ??? (m) ???Agnes "Nancy" Godfrey SARAH (b) 1775 (d) aft. 1850 Carter County, Kentucky (m) 5 January 1804 Tazewell County, Virginia To: SAMUEL LUSK JR. s\o Samuel Lusk Sr. and Susannah Stephenson Elijah (b) 1777 "Eli" (d) aft. 1850 Wyoming County, Virginia (m) ??? Nancy "Agnes" Clark d\o. Joseph Clark and Mary Burton Henry (b) 1779 (d) 1834 South Bluefield, Virginia (m) 4 August 1801 Montgomery County, Virginia To: Elizabeth Peters d\o. John Peters and Francis Simms In both 1793 and 1799, Richard Bailey, was involved in the political creation of Tazewell County, Virginia. He signed legislative petitions to create the county of Tazewell, from Wythe and Montgomery Counties, Tazewell County, was created in 1800. On 22 February 1793, in (then) Wythe County, Virginia. (area now Tazewell County, Virginia). Richard signed another "Petition" seeking protection, from the many Cherokee and Shawnee Indian hostile raids, being made in the pioneer community, where he lived. Major Robert Crockett, Commandant of the local Malitia, sent this Petition to the, Governor of Virginia. In 1779, thanks to the Virginia Legislature, Richard was able to obtain a 50-acre land grant, through the Royal Governor Lord Dunmore, for his past Military Service, when he served in the Militia in Chesterfield County, Virginia. This land was located in the "Western Territory" of Virginia, which meant at that time , what's now known as Kentucky. It is unknown what Richard ever did with this land at this time. Richard appears on Tax Records, there in (then) Tazewell County, Virginia, as late as 1806. This does not mean that Richard disappeared, but most likely, became excluded from the tax rolls, due to his age. Richard and Elizabeth, were living in an area, called Beaver Pond Springs, which would become a part of, Mercer County, West Virginia , in 1837. (This area is close to the current Mercer County, West Virginia, and Tazewell County, Virginia borderlines). Many of Richard's children would also live along the Bluestone River. In what was to become Mercer County, West Virginia. At the age of 83, in 1818, Richard Bailey passed away, in what was (then) Tazewell County, Virginia (now) Mercer County, West Virginia. Richard is buried, in a Bailey Cemetery consisting of only fieldstones, located on the Leatherwood Farms, on the intersection of Rt. 460 near the West Virginia and Virginia borders, in what is now Mercer County, West Virginia. A marker has been placed upon Richard Bailey's Gravesite, probably by the DAR, which only indicates his name and military service involvement. Richard's wife, Elizabeth (Belcher) Bailey is also believed to be buried, here along with several of his children. _________________________________________________ The bloodline Focus will now be with a daughter of Richard and Elizabeth (Belcher) Bailey....................SARAH BAILEY **AT THIS POINT THE BLOODLINE MIXES INTO THE "LUSK" LINE****** ...............SARAH BAILEY married SAMUEL LUSK......... SARAH BAILEY Sarah Bailey was born, in 1775, on Cove springs, a branch of the Bluestone River, in what is now Tazewell County, Virginia. She was the daughter of Richard Bailey and Elizabeth Belcher. At the age of 29 years, Sarah would marry, a wild character, named Samuel Lusk Jr. on 5 January 1804 in Tazewell County, Virginia. Sarah's husband, Samuel Lusk Jr., was born in (then) Wythe County, Virginia (now) Tazewell County, Virginia, in 1776, the year the "Colonies" revolted into a , Revolutionary War with Great Britain. Samuel was the son of , Samuel Lusk Sr. and Susannah Stephenson. It was difficult for Samuel, being raised during the War, but life didn't improve all that much after the, Revolutionary War had ended. As a young teenager, the home area where Samuel lived, faced a new conflict called the Indian Wars. Indians repeatedly raided the area committing mass murder, kidnappings, and horse stealing. In 1792, the Indians raided the home area of the Lusk family and murdered Samuel's Father, Samuel Lusk Sr.., and three of his younger brothers. This left only his widowed Mother, Susannah (Stephenson) Lusk, himself, and his brother, David surviving the Indian raid. Due to the Indian War, Samuel Lusk enlisted into the Military, in Wythe County, Virginia, in March of 1792. He was stationed at a Fort located on the Bluestone River area, (now) Tazewell County, Virginia, commanded by then Captain Robert Crockett, Samuel was an Indian Spy and Scout. While Samuel was with his militia unit, both he and his friend, Joseph Gilbert, were separated from the unit, during a search for food. Then came raiding and murdering, Cherokee Indians. Samuel and Joseph were ambushed, Joseph was shot and murdered and scalped, right in front of Samuel, as he was shot in the right hand. The Cherokee Indians captured Samuel, and as they escaped the area, they took him with them. Samuel was taken prisoner into Ohio, and on to Sandusky, where he was held captive for 11 months. Samuel managed to escape and traveled to Detroit (Michigan), where he crossed into Canada. Samuel traveled east to Niagara Falls, and then crossed into northern New York. Samuel managed to get home, by late 1793, crippled in his right hand. Samuel returned home to, (then) Wythe County, Virginia, in time to join the political drive to create, the new County of, Tazewell County, out of the territory of parts of Wythe and Montgomery Counties. Samuel signed petitions to create Tazewell in 1793, 1798, and 1799. The area, which he lived, became Tazewell County, Virginia in 1800. Samuel's Mother, the Widow, Susannah Lusk had remarried to, Thomas Godfrey. Thomas Godfrey, proved to be an excellent stepfather to Samuel. This can be seen on 16 January 1802, when Thomas Godfrey, sold Samuel 87 -acres of land on, Clear Fork, of Wolf Creek, there in Tazewell County, Virginia for only a $1. Godfrey desired to help Samuel get established. Samuel can be found mentioned many, many, times, within the Tazewell County Court records, for years to come, for many different reasons, only few examples will be given. On 4 March 1810, in a case against, Samuel Lusk he was jailed for 1 hour and fined court costs. On 4 November, 1802, Samuel and his friend Elias Harmon would share a Land Grant of, 148-acres, located, on the East River, adjoining the southside of Stoney Ridge, there in Tazewell County, Virginia. Samuel was use to hard living, and his experience during the Indian Wars, taught him to fight. On Christmas, 25 December 1802, after being provoked, he would physically beat a man named, William Jeffery. Samuel was charged by a Grand Jury, with assault + breach of Peace, on 10 March 1803, but the case was not settled at that time. The tables turned, when Jeffery, attacked Samuel, on 12 April 1804, the Grand Jury, the next day charged, William Jeffery with assault. While Samuel would be involved in other cases, such as lawsuits, jury duty, etc....Sarah Bailey was aware of his character when she married him on 5 January 1804. On 25 June 1807, Samuel Lusk was recommended for the Military position of Lieutenant, in Captain Andrew Peery's Company, of the Tazewell County, Virginia Militia. He was recommended to replace Thomas Cartmill, who was removed. Samuel would receive this appointment, as a Lieutenant, in the 112th Regiment. Sarah and Samuel, would begin raising their family, there in Tazewell County, Virginia. The first three children born there in, Tazewell County, Virginia, were...... John (b) 1806 (d) ??? (m) ??? POLLY (Elizabeth) (b) 1808 (d) After 1850 In: Grant, Carter County, Kentucky (m) 17 December 1824 In: Tazewell County, Virginia To: Isaac Adkins Jr. s\o Isaac Adkins Sr. and Elizabeth Hager Martha (b) 1811 (d) ??? (m) 14 March 1831 In: (then) Greenup County, Kentucky To: Robert Gorman On 25 April 1810, Samuel Lusk, was promoted to Captain, in the 112th Regiment, Tazewell County, Virginia Militia. By the time 1812 rolled around our Nation was once again at war with England. During the War of 1812, David Lusk, Samuel's' Brother, would serve within Tazewell County's Militia, but Samuel served in a different way. For some strange reason, Samuel would enlist on, 1 September 1812, as a private, in the 3rd Regiment Kentucky Detached Militia, under the Command, of Captain Soloman Brandenburg, in the Infantry. While the records indicate this fact, it is more probable, that Samuel was "on loan" from the 112th Virginia Regiment, to "help" the 3rd Regiment of Kentucky. Samuel's only job was to transport supply wagons "into Kentucky". These wagons were delivered to a military site, in Hardinsburg, Breckinridge County, Kentucky. After the wagons were delivered, Samuel was paid $25.33, and discharged on Christmas, 25 December 1812. Samuel would return home to Tazewell County, Virginia, where he and Sarah would continue raising their family. Sarah and Samuel would be living on a 124-acre farm, located on Big Rock, off of Bluestone River, there in Tazewell County, Virginia. Here they would add more children to their family, these children were.......

On 23 October 1819, Samuel would receive, a 1000-acre Land Grant, located on, Dividing Ridge, near Cabin Creek, on the, Bluestone River, there in Tazewell County, Virginia. On 18 October 1822, Samuel obtained, Land Grant, totaling 550-acres on Branch Creek and Mill Branch, near Black Lick Mountain, there in, Tazewell County, Virginia. It is uncertain, if Samuel and Sarah relocated, to any of these areas. Still in Tazewell County, Virginia, they would have five more children, which were..... Lydia (b) 1820 (d) ??? Whitten (b) 1821 (d) (was in Carter County, 1882) William (b) 1823 (d) (was in Carter County, Kentucky, 1850 Susan (b) 22 March 1825 (d) 15 June 1920 In: Carter County, Kentucky (m) 15 February 1842 In: Carter County, Kentucky To: James Hall (m) by Archibald Rice Samuel (b) 1827 (d) (was in Greenup County, Kentucky 1860) In 1828, Samuel, Sarah and family, would migrate westward, and resettle for one year, in Lawrence County, Kentucky. They moved again in 1829, settling near Williams Creek, (then Greenup County, Kentucky, (the same area became, Carter County, Kentucky, in 1838). Here in Kentucky Sarah and Samuel, would have their last child....she was.... Emily (b) 1830 (d) ??? (m) 31 January 1856 In: Carter County, Kentucky To: Andrew T. Hall s/o John Hall and Cennie Hall While living there in, (then) Greenup County, Kentucky, (area now Carter County, Kentucky), on 7 October 1834, Samuel applied for and Invalid Pension, as a veteran of the Indian Wars. It would take Samuel eight years (1842) to finally get an official word from the Pension Office in Washington D.C., that his claim was "rejected"....they didn't believe he was a scout at the age of 16. (Evidence now proves otherwise!!!). Samuel would purchase for $120, a 187-acre farm on Rush Creek, off of Williams Creek, in Carter County, Kentucky from, William Carter, on 27 March 1839. Samuel was 70 years old by 1 April 1844, when he sold this 187-acre farm, for $315, to John Hartley. Samuel would shortly pass away (between 1845-1849) there in Carter County, Kentucky. In 1850 Sarah (Bailey) Lusk, now 72 years old, was living with her children....: Russell, William, Samuel Jr., and Emily, there in Carter County, Kentucky. She passed away shortly thereafter. ________________________________________________ The Bloodline focus will now shift with a daughter of Sarah Bailey and Samuel Lusk................................POLLY LUSK. ****AT THIS POINT THE BLOODLINE MIXES INTO THE *** "ADKINS"LINE *** ...........POLLY LUSK....................marries.............ISAAC ADKINS, JR.......... ISAAC ADKINS, JR. Isaac Adkins was born in 1805, on Clear Fork of Wolf Creek, in Tazewell County Virginia, (now Raleigh County, West Virginia), being a son of Isaac and Elizabeth (Hager) Adkins. As a young man Isaac lived with his parents in Tazewell County, Virginia. I would be here in,Tazewell County, that Isaac would take a bride. At the age of 19 years Isaac would marry on, 17 December 1824, to Polly Lusk, the daughter of Samuel and Sarah (Bailey) Lusk. There in Tazewell County, Virginia, Isaac and Polly (Lusk) Adkins would have three children, which were....: ** ELIZABETH (b) 19 November 1825 (d) 1904 In: Elliott County, Kentucky (m) 5 October 1843 To: Jonathan Gallion Eliza (b) 1827 (d) Kentucky (m) Anthony Riggs Sarah (b) 1830 (d) Kentucky The exact time period is unknown, but in 1835, Isaac and Polly (Lusk) Adkins and family, would migrate westward, into Carter County, Kentucky.

While their death dates are unknown, both were deceased after 1850. Isaac and Polly are suppose to be buried, according to family tradition , high on top a hill, located behind their , Shanty Branch property. While there is an Adkins Cemetery, located there, descendants of Isaac and Polly, I have visited this location and did not find any signs of their burial site, no tombstones, no fieldstones, etc. But with over a 100 years going past, their death and burial even fieldstones could have disappeared by now. _____________________________________________ The bloodline focus will now be with a daughter of....ISAAC ADKINS and POLLY LUSK.....ELIZABETH ADKINS...... ***** AT THIS POINT THE BLOODLINE MIXES INTO THE "GALLION" LINE **** ELIZABETH ADKINS........

Some of this land is still owned, by Jonathan's descendants. Jonathan made his living mostly by farming, and cutting timber for the, then E.K. Railroad. Jonathan and Elizabeth Gallion, along with a handful of other Gallion ancestors, are buried on Jonathan's old homestead, in what's now called The Cass Gallion Cemetery.
