There is a William Bayley/Bailey) listed among the Ancient Planters.  Her father?

Answer 2

I have William on the second ship to America as Lord Somers solicitor. He survived the massacre but I'm missing the next two or three generations.frustrating.

Answer 3

Oh, btw, it was Hayley until the moved to Tennessee and Kentucky. By the revolution it had become Bailey and remained like that.

Hope you meant Bayley, otherwise I'm lost. And there was no official spelling so we all waste our time arguing about variations.  It's unfortunate that WT IDs are keyed to spelling.
