Biography

The United States Biographical Dictionary and Portrait Gallery of Eminent and Self-Made Men, Missouri Volume" (Vol 1-4), United States Biorgaphical Publishing Company, 1878. Page 221/222. Rev. Jeremiah Farmer, page 222 ..."January 1, 1833, he was married to Eliza Bailey, who was born January 6, 1813. She was the daughter of James Bailey, granddaughter of David Bailey. Her mother was Mary Rector, daughter of Cumberland Rector; granddaughter of John Rector.".^[1]

Note

Still looking for proof that Charles is Cumberland's father (as well as his mother.) There is only one article that states John may be his father (see daughter Mary Rector-Baily's profile), but the general consensus is that Charles is the father since they both died in TN.
