CHAPTER TWO.

HISTORY OF THE VIRGINIA BRANCH.

pg. 123 - ASPASIA EARLE (F 13), eighth son of Judge Baylis and Mary Prince Earle, was born on the old home place of his father, Feb. 21, 1785. His name appears also as Aspasis and Aspasio, but Aspasia although a feminine form, is probably the name given him by his parents. The name is found in later generations of some of the Kentucky families.

Aspasia married, about 1806, Mary Montague, and settled first on the north bank of North Pacolet, one mile from his father’s old place, in the present county of Polk, N. C. The children of this marriage were: Henry Montague and Charlotte Montague.

His son Baylis had another mother.

In March, 1846, he removed to Floyd County, Georgia, and settled on Oostanaula River.
