(III) Dr. Charles Milton, son of Wilbur F. and Abby Frances (Barbour) Leighton, was born in Osage, Iowa, July 8, 1870, and re- ceived his literary education in the public schools of Portland, graduating from the Portland high school in 1890; graduated from Bowdoin College 1894. Subsequent to this he entered the Maine Medical College at Bruns- wick, from which he received the degree of M. D. in 1897. This was followed by one year's service as house surgeon at Maine Gen- eral Hospital, and at the present time is a member of its surgical staff. In 1898 he be- gan his course as a general practitioner of medicine in Portland, where he has made rapid progress in his profession. He was made city physician in 1899 and held that office three terms. In 1902 he was appointed to a place on the board of health, of which he was after- ward chairman for several terms. During the time he filled that office he eliminated many objectionable features in the management of the work of the board and instituted much needed reforms. Dr. Leighton is a member of the Cumberland County Medical Association, the Maine Medical Association, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Science, and of the Portland Medical Club, the Pathological Club and also of Portland Lodge, No. I, Free and Accepted Masons. In political faith he is a Republican, and religious belief an Episcopalian.

Leighton is an old English LEIGHTON surname. The original fam- ily of this name had its seat at Leighton in Shropshire, prior to the Con- quest (1066). The name is identical with

STATE OF MAINE.
Layton, which is still in use by some branches of the family. The progenitor was Rainald, mentioned in Domesday Book as tenant of Lestone, or Leighton. The family took the name of the place as a surname when the cus- tom of having hereditary surnames came into fashion in the twelfth century. The principal seat of the present English family is Loton, in Shropshire. The lineage is traced to Totilus de Leton, who was mentioned in Domesday Book, through his grandson Sir Titus de Leighton, knight of the Sepulchre, joint founder of the Abbey of Buildwas, Salop. Sir Richard de Leighton had a reconveyance of the Manor of Leighton from William Fitz Allan soon after the Conquest.
(I) Thomas Leighton, immigrant ancestor, was doubtless a descendant of the ancient Shropshire family. He was born in England in 1604, and died January 22, 1671. He came to New England in 1633, and settled on a lot bought of Captain Wiggin, on Back river, Dover, New Hampshire, bounded also by a lot of John Dam's and the lane to Back Cove. He had grants of land from the town from time to time. In 1650 he received one hun- dred acres. His home was at Dover Neck. His will was dated September 21, 1671 ; proved June 25, 1672. It calls Thomas his only son and heir. Children: Thomas, mentioned be- low; Mary, married Thomas Roberts: Daugh- ter, married Deacon John Hall; Elizabeth, married (first) Philip Cromwell, (second) Philip Chesley ; Sarah, died unmarried, 1672. (II) Thomas (2), son of Thomas (I) Leighton, was born about 1635. He died in 1710, at Dover, where he lived. He was ad- mitted a freeman May 15, 1672. His wife was a daughter of Hatevil Nutter, a prominent man among the Dover pioneers. Children : Thomas; Elizabeth; John, mentioned below.
(III) John, son of Thomas (2) Leighton, was born about 1675. He married Sarah Children : I. John, born about 1705; settled in Newington; married, November, 1728, Abigail Ham; ten children. 2. Lydia, born February 19, 1705, at Dover. 3. Thomas ( ?), married Susannah -; had a large family at Dover. 4. David, mentioned be- low.
(IV) David, son or nephew of John Leigh- ton, was born about 1725. He settled at Rochester, New Hampshire, a town adjoin- ing Barrington, in which John and Susanna Leighton, presumably his parents, were bap- tized July 26, 1738. Unfortunately the Bar- rington records are nearly all destroyed. Sarah and Lydia, probably sisters, were baptized,
adults, and owned the covenant at Barrington, January 10, 1741. David was also an adult when baptized, September 22, 1754, at the same time that his wife renewed the covenant with the Rochester Church. One of the children of David was baptized at a "lect" at the house of John Leighton, who must have been living in Rochester, or near the line. David named his first son John for his father, and daughter Sarah for his mother. His son Jacob was named for Jacob Chamberlain, of his wife's family. She had a brother Jacob, born in Dover, June 25, 1738. David married at Do- ver, December 19, 1751, Ann Chamberlain. Children, baptized at Rochester: I. Dolly, born 1754 (had an aunt Dorothy Chamber- lain), baptized September 22, 1754; married February 29, 1726. 2. John, baptized April 13, 1755. 3. Sarah (twin), baptized June 23, 1756, at house of John Leighton. 4. Hannah, baptized June 23, 1756, at house of John Leighton. 5. Jacob, baptized July 31, 1757; mentioned below. 6. Samuel (?), baptized July 31, 1757. 7. William (named for his grandfather Chamberlain), baptized Septem- ber 9, 1764 ; had son John. 8. Elizabeth, bap- tized February 1, 1767. 9. Anna, baptized July 7, 1771. 10. Moses, baptized May 19, 1776.
(V) Jacob, son of David Leighton, was baptized in Rochester, New Hampshire, July 31, 1757. He was a soldier in the revolution, from Rochester or vicinity, in Captain Joseph Badger's company, in the expedition to Can- ada in 1775. He removed to New Durham, New Hampshire. He married Mary
According to the federal census of 1790, Ja- cob Leighton, of New Durham, had in his family six females and no sons. The birth record shows that he had had four daughters. Perhaps one of the females necessary to make the count six was his mother or mother-in- law. Children, recorded from New Durham : I. Betty or Betsey, born January 3, 1782 ; mar- ried, April 23, 1801, Jeremiah Edgerly, of New Durham, born May 13, 1778. (Several of this Edgerly family settled at Corinna, Maine, whither the Leightons also went.) 2. Mary, born March 10, 1784. 3. Nancy, May 31, 1786. 4. Dorothy, June 28, 1788. 5. Jacob, February 6, 1791 ; mentioned below. 6. Ly- dia G., April 6, 1793. 7. Rhoda, September II, 1795. 8. Ephraim, November 8, 1798. 9. Hannah E., September 26, 1801.
(VI) Jacob (2), son of Jacob (I) and Mary Leighton, was born February 6, 1791, in New Durham, New Hampshire, where he resided until the latter part of the year 1822,

when he removed to Exeter, Maine, a pioneer settlement. Here he built himself a log house with the aid of friends from his native town who settled there about the same time and cleared up a farm. A few years later he re- turned to New Hampshire and settled in the town of Milton, where he passed the remainder of his life. He was a kind and sympathetic man, often going many miles to assist those in trouble or distress, and was also very jovial, fond of a good story, full of jokes, and very social in his nature. He entertained a great deal for his day, and was usually found in at- tendance at picnics, husking parties and other social gatherings. He served as soldier in the war of 1812, and received a pension for his service during his last years. He married February 2, 1812, Sophia - -- , born Febru- ary 23, 1792, died February 28, 1854, in Exe- ter, Maine. Sometime after her death, Mr. Leighton married a widow, Mrs. Mary ( Polly ) Glidden. His children born of the first wife were: Alfred, Jacob, Jolin, Rhoda E., Mary, Frank, Charles and Sophia. The last named is the only one now living, being the wife of Ira B. Quint, of Farmington, New Hamp- shire.
(VII) Alfred, eldest child of Jacob (2) and Sophia (Emerson) Leighton, was born December 28, 1812, in New Durham, New Hampshire, and resided in Exeter and Cor- inna, Maine. He married, August 10, 1834, Dorcas Le Barron, whose ancestors were French Huguenots.
(VIII) Llewellyn Morse, son of Alfred Leighton, was born at Exeter, Maine, October 9, 1850. He was educated in the public schools and lived at Exeter, Corinna and Portland, Maine. He began life as a farmer, in Exeter, but in 1875 moved to Portland, Maine, and became an architect and builder. He then en- gaged in the furniture business at Portland, but for the past ten years has devoted his at- tention to the development of outlying property about the city. He lives at Portland. He mar- ried Annie Hinckley Stone, born August 12, 1854, daughter of Alfred Montgomery Stone, of Corinna. Her mother was Nancy (Atkins) Stone, born at Milford, Maine, daughter of Nathaniel Atkins, of Castine, Maine, a sea captain of note. The Atkins family had large claims against the government in what are called the French spoliation cases, but have never recovered for the losses. Captain At- kins was a soldier in the war of 1812. Chil- dren : Marshall O. and Florence (Leighton) Johnson, born September 24, 1882.
(IX) Marshall O., son of Llewellyn Morse
Leighton, was born in Corinna, Penobscot county, Maine, May 1, 1874. He attended the public schools of Portland, Maine, and pre- pared for college in the Portland high school, He graduated from the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology with the degree of S. B. in the class of 1896. After graduation he be- came health officer of Montclair, New Jersey, and performed the duties of that office in con- nection with consulting practice for six years. He then qualified by civil service examination and was appointed hydrographer of the United States Geological Survey in Washington, in 1902. He was promoted to the office of chief hydrographer in 1906, a position which he fills at the present time. In May, 1906, he was appointed one of the commissioners of the state of New Jersey to investigate and propose a remedy for the disastrous floods of the Pas- saic river. He is consulting hydrographer for the United States Inland Water Ways Com- mission. During a part of his service in the Geological Survey he was given special assignments to difficult work in the United States Reclamation Services, in connec- tion with the irrigation of the arid West. He has given the greater part of his time in the government service to the study of the de- velopment of water supplies, with especial ref- erence to flood prevention, water power, irri- gation, navigation and municipal supply. On these subjects he is regarded as an authority, and is much engaged as a public lecturer upon the more popular features thereof.
He is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers; of the American Water- works Association; New England Water Works Association; of the National Geogra- phic Society; of the Washington Society of Engineers. In politics he is a Republican, in religion an Episcopalian. He belongs to the University Club, of Washington, D. C., and to Montclair Lodge of Free Masons, of Mont- clair, New Jersey.

BAILEY Bailey as a word is derived through the French bailie, from the mediaeval Latin ballium, which is a corruption of the Latin vallum, a rampart. The bailey was the whole space en- closed within the external walls of a castle with the exception of that covered by the keep. Sometimes this space consisted of several courts, divided from each other by embattled walls, so as to form a series of fortifications. When those courts were two in number, they were known as the outer and inner bailey. The bailey was often of great extent, contain- ing the barracks of the soldiers, lodgings for the workmen and artificers, magazines, wells and chapels, and sometimes even a monastery. Philip James Bailey, author of the well-known poem, "Festus," and a native of Nottingham, England, says : "The name is of Kelto-British origin, and signifies a keep or tower, or mural fortification as the names of S. Peter's le Bailey (or in the Bailey) of Oxford; the Old and New Bailey, London; the Bailey Tower, Howth Hill, Dublin; and other places suffi- ciently show." The patronymic is evidently derived from bailiff, the keeper or superin- tendent of the bailey, a name which in time came to be applied to a place of confinement.
The Baillies of Georgia, however, who in- termarried with the Bullochs, to which family President Roosevelt's mother belonged, give a different origin to the name. They claim that it is corrupted from Baliol, a powerful and eminent family in the early days of England and Scotland, closely related to the kings, John and Edward Baliol, but eventually siding with the Scottish king, David II. The name was changed from Baliol to Baillie to escape the wrath of Edward First of England, who was incensed against the family ; and also to dis- tinguish them from the Scottish kings. Baliol is evidently of French origin, for among the companions of William the Conqueror we find Renaud de Bailleul. In the reign of William Rufus Guy de Bailiol had a grant from the crown of the barony of Biweld in the county of Northumberland. From him is directly de- scended John de Baliol, founder of Baliol Col- lege, Oxford. Alexander de Baliol, brother of John, was grand chamberlain of Scotland in 1292, and from him the Baillies of Lamington, Dunain and all of the name in Scotland are

descended. In 1735 Kenneth Baillie of the Dunain family was an ensign in the Darien Company of Rangers in Georgia, and went on an expedition with General Oglethorpe against the Spaniards in Florida. He was captured and sent to Spain, but subsequently returned where he became a landed proprietor and colo- nel of the Second Southern Regiment. His sons did good service in the revolution.
In France the name is still spelled Baily ; in Scotland, Baillie; while in England and Amer- ica, Baily, Bailey and Bayley are most com- mon. There are two distinct coats-of-arms. That of the Bailey family consists of a bezant, or gold coin, on a fesse between three martlets (flying swallows) gules. The crest is a demi- lady, holding in her dexter hand a tower, and in sinister, a branch of laurel. The Baillie escutcheon is as different as possible. The shield has nine mullets or five-pointed stars, supported by two boars rampant; and the crest is a boar's head. The motto is: "Quid clarius astris"-What is more glorious than the stars ?
(I) Thomas Bayley, of Wessagussett, ad- mitted freeman in Massachusetts Colony, May 13, 1640, was the first by the name of Bayley that we find settled in New England. When he came or how he came we have no record. He was very early in Wessagussett, and had probably pre-empted land some years prior to the incorporation of the land as Weymouth, in 1635. Whether he came in the Weston Colony in 1622, or in the Gorges Company in 1623, or whether he came from Weymouth, England, in 1624, or from Virginia, there is no way to de- termine. His farm and home place of twenty- five acres was located on the southerly side of King Oak Hill; and in 1899 the cellar hole of his house was still visible. He was a man of integrity and influence, and was several times chosen to appraise estates. In March, 1655, he and William Chard were elected con- stables to serve for the ensuing year. Thomas Bayley died in 1681, probably at an advanced age, and it is thought that he was buried in the Old North cemetery at North Weymouth. The name of his wife is unknown, and she probably died before him, as no mention of her is made in the will probated May 10, 1681. Children: 1. John, whose sketch follows. 2. Thomas, married Ruth Porter, September 19, 1660. 3. Samuel, married Mary -, and died in 1711. 4. Esther, married John King, of Weymouth.
(II) John, eldest son of Thomas Bayley, was born at Weymouth, Massachusetts, about 1625, and died at Freetown, Massachusetts,
June 22, 1686. He was made freeman in Massachusetts Colony, May 23, 1673, and was a non-commissioned officer in some of the early military companies of Weymouth. We find that Corporal John Bayley was chosen fence viewer for Weymouth in 1664-67 and 1674-75, and on March 7, 1669-70, he was chosen way warden. In 1675-76, during King Philip's war, hedad received another military promo- tion, for we find "Sergent John Bayley Com- missioner from Weymouth to Boston twice." In 1683, at the opening up of lands in Free- town, Massachusetts, John Bayley, of Wey- mouth, and Thomas Drake bought land and re- moved there about 1685. 'The maiden name of John Bayley's wife is unknown, but her given name was Hannah. Children: I. John (2), whose sketch follows. 2. Thomas, who was killed in King Philip's war in 1675. He was a young man of much promise, and was killed with the flower of Essex county in the battle of Bloody River, between Deerfield and Hadley.
(III) John (2), eldest son of John (1) and Hannah Bailey, was born probably in Weymouth. He moved thence to Scituate, Massachusetts, 1670. He married (first) Jan- uary 25, 1672, Sarah White and (second) De- cember 9, 1699, Ruth Clothier. He died 1718. Children : 1. John, born 1673. 2. Sarah, 1675. 3. Mary, 1677, married, 1700, James Berry. 4. Joseph, 1679. 5. Benjamin, 1682, of Marl- boro, 1713. 6. William, 1685, married, 1714, Judith Booth. 7. Hannah, born 1687, married, 1714, James Briggs Jr. 8. Samuel, 1690.
(IV) John (3), eldest son of John (2) and Sarah (White) Bailey, was born in Scit- uate, Massachusetts, in 1673; was mentioned in his father's will as "eldest son, John." He married, February 19, 1700, Abigail, daugh- ter of Deacon Samuel Clapp. He died at Han- over, Massachusetts, June, 1752, and his widow died March 2, 1753. He was "a man of in- fluence in the towns." Children: I. Jane, born June 30, 1701. 2. John, May 23, 1703. 3. Jacob, December 13, 1706. 4. Israel (Capt.), May 13, 1708, married, November 12, 1730, Zeziah Perry, descended from Bridgewater and Scituate family. 5. Abigail, February 4, 1712-13, married, May 2, 1733, John Bates. 6.

(VI) John (5), eldest son of John (4) and Elizabeth (Cowen) Bailey, was born in Han- over, October 30, 1730, and married, October, 1750, Ruth Randall, born August 25, 1730, died June 3, 1820. He died October 27, 1810. He was selectman 1768-71 ; lieutenant-colonel of Colonel John Thomas' regiment of King- ston which marched to Roxbury, April, 1775, and had charge of said regiment when Colonel Thomas was commissioned as general officer ; 1776 was chief colonel of the regiment in the continental establishment, and held this rank during the war. Later in life he kept a tavern for a time. History records that "he was second in command on Dorchester Heights in 1775 and afterward of important positions near New York. September, 1776, his regi- ment and two others were thanked by Gen- eral Washington for gallant conduct, and Washington picked out Bailey's men when he resolved to make a sudden dash on the Hes- sians at Trenton, New Jersey. The brigade that Bailey was in occupied the centre in the field of Saratoga." Colonel John did not serve through the war, as in 1780 he wrote Gen- eral Washington, asking his discharge on ac- count of ill health and domestic affairs. By an act of congress, October, 1780, he was retired on half pay, but it is supposed this was com- muted, as he died a poor man. His wife is said to have been a remarkably handsome woman who retained her beauty till her death in extreme old age. Children of Colonel John and Ruth (Randall) Bailey were: I. John, born May 6, 1751. 2. Luther, September 14, 1752. 3. Ruth, November 8, 1754, married, October 9, 1774, William Stockbridge. 4. Cal- vin, January 21, 1761. 5.
