George Bailey family (Brother to Walter Perry)

Ok, it's time for more info!

Here is a picture of Benjamin Franklin Seymour, Roy's Uncle. (Roy was Fanchon's father). It's kind of neat, because we don't have a picture of ROy or his father Charles, but having an Uncle is almost as good, because many times we look more like our aunts and uncles than parents. This could be very similar to Roy's looks.

Benjamin Franklin was born 1845 in Schuylerville, Saratoga, NY. He married Marry Ellen Batz. They had children, and later adopted Dilia Samington Seymour, who probably isn't in this picture. The kids are Susan 1878, Lucy A. 1885, and the baby is George Fred Seymour who was born 1886 so that is very close to the time this picture was taken. The family moved to Whitley Co, IN so that is probably where this was taken.

Enjoy!

This is our Bailey line as far as I have it:

John Bailey and Nancy (Ann) 1705 Berkeley, VA (Bailey's of Berkeley Co. History, land records)
His son was William Thomas Bailey B. 1740 VA and elizabeth Harrison b. 1740 VA
(Will probated 21 APR 1817 Nelson Co, KY lists 5 children:)
1) William Harrison Bailey 1759 and Rachel Boyd
2) Andrew Bailey b 1765
****3)Thomas Bailey 1763 VA inherited plantation and sawmill in nelson Co, KY was father to
Thomas Bailey who was father to Thomas Bailey and Mildred Burkett (married 1810 Nelson Co, Records) who was father to Silas Bailey and Zerelda Drake (married Orange Co, IN records) who was father toWalter Perry Bailey and Rebecca Shewmake and Laura Ann Hatley who was father to Jesse Sherod Bailey and Fanchon Seymour who was father to Donald Perry Bailey and Emogene Romine
4) Ruth Bailey b. 1762 married John Miller (Nelson Co. Records)
5)Elizabeth b. 1770 married Joseph Stanley (Nelson Co, Records)

Mary, I'll send you all the rest of the dates, records, sources, etc.
thanks!
Enjoy!

OK, enough of me sleeping! I've been busy with genealogy again. I think I have figured out 5 generations past walter Perry Bailey. Walter's father was Silas, Silas's father was Thomas, Thomas's father was William bailey, and william's father was a John Bailey Sr, who migrated from Scotland to VA in about 1750. They migrated from W.VA to Kentucky and then to Phillips County, Ark, via Indiana. Some of silas's kids were also born in Illinois.

The fun news is that even though we don't have a picture of Fanchon Seymour Bailey (our grandmother) but we do have a picture of one of her great grand parents. Fanchon's father was Roy Seymour, his father was Charles Seymour, and his father was Antonie. This is a picture of Antonie Seymour and his wife is Abigail Hamilton Seymour. Can you see any family resemblance? They were French Canadian. A number of French families went to Ireland in the 1600's and 1700's to escape religious persecution which flared up in France from time to time. Most of them ended up in Canada. In Canada, Simard is a very common and prominent surname in Quebec and dates back to the 1600. In the 1800's some Simard's moved to the USA (New York) to find work and they changed their names to SEYMOUR. Our's went to New York and ended up marrying a lady who is pure bred spanish from Spain, Roy's father married Nina A. Carlella. Interesting heritage. It would interesting to test our DNA and see how many cultures are represented. We are also part German and English heritage.

Happy New Year!
