I. JOHN BAILEY b 1786/88 m. Susan b. 1794. They lived and died in what is called Bull Mire Creek, Galdia, KY (Magoffin Co.). An old cemetery located near the head of Bull Mire has grave markers dating from the 1850's that are readable but the cemetery is in a neglected condition. There were three markers with readable inscriptions: (1) John Bailey (2) L.B. d. 17 Jan 1855 (3) Bailey d. 21 Jul 1868.
He passed away in 1855.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:
Bailey-14823 and Bailey-9723 are not ready to be merged because: The source I cite in the creation of this profile makes no mention of Gallatin County as a potential death location for John Bailey Sr and your profile does not contain sources. I'm not comfortable that this is the same person.
