Biography

Sources

• Fluvanna VA Marriage Bonds indicate a 1782 marriage date for Samuel Bailey and Mary Curtis. World Connect notes admit that some have recorded 3 March 1796 for the marriage of Mary Curtis, due to reversal of death and marriage dates. The more likely actual marriage date, 1782, prompts a revision of the estimated birth year (now 1764).

• Mary Curtis ( Curtis-2121 ) has also been given as the wife of Samuel's father - also Samuel Bailey. Concerning the father: Bailey Genealogy The Virginia Bailey Genealogy together with Related Families by Robert Gresham Bailey, 1947] says on page 21: "The name of Samuel Bailey's wife is not known. Evidently she died before the said date of his will, as not mentioned therein."

• There are a great number of gedcoms entries at World Connect for Mary Curtis wife of Samuel Bailey. These lineages continue with John Bailey as son of Samuel and as wife of Frances Lyon. Many of these entries are greater than ten years old. The repeat of Mary Curtis as the wife of the older Samuel Bailey is strong indication that Curtis-2121 is incorrect. This profile has properly been removed as the senior Samuel Bailey's spouse.
