Confusion warning

Two different men were previously conflated in this profile, and the confusion could recur. One, the younger Nathan Bailey, profiled here, was the son of Nicholas and Margaret Bailey. He was born about 1660 in Westchester village, and married as his only wife Esther Caniff, daughter of Jeremiah, who outlived him and remarried in 1718. They removed from the borough town of Westchester a dozen miles north to Tarrytown and joined the old Dutch Church at Sleepy Hollow.

The other Nathan Bailey previously conflated here was the younger man's uncle, Nathan, born about 1642, likely in the New Haven Colony but possibly in England, to Nicholas Bayley and his wife. That other Nathan Bayley married, first, ______, perhaps Margaret _____ ( they had at least one child, Nathaniel, born perhaps 1675,) then secondly Mary Squire.
