(For preceding generations see Thomas Bayley I.) (V) Jacob, second son of John BAILEY (3) and Abigail (Clapp) Bailey, was born December 13, 1706, in Hanover, and made his home in that town. No record appears of his death. He mar- ried (first) June 10, 1728, Ruth Palmer, and had a second wife whose maiden name was Hatch. Children born of first wife were: Jacob, Ruth, Charles, Steven, Hannah and George.
(VI) Jacob (2), eldest child of Jacob (1) and Ruth ( Palmer) Bailey, was born January 29, 1729, in Hanover, and late in life re- moved to the state of Maine, probably accom- panying some of his children. He located in Leeds, Androscoggin county. There is some evidence that he married first in Hanover a Titcomb. The family record states that he married Sarah Berry, who was probably a second wife.
(VII) Ezekiel, second son of Jacob (2) and Sarah (Berry) Bailey, was born September I, 1793, in Leeds, Androscoggin county, Maine, and was brought up on his father's farm and became accustomed to the strenuous life led by the early pioneers. His opportunity for school attendance was very slight, and he left home when eighteen years of age and located in Winthrop, Kennebec county, where he engaged in farming, the only business that he knew. He afterwards became a manufacturer of oil- cloth at Winthrop, in which he was successful and was succeeded by his sons. He was a member of the Society of Friends, by inheri- tance, and his upright life and worthy char- acter made him an influential member of the community. Besides filling various town offi- ces, he represented his district in the state leg- islature and lived to the advanced age of eighty years, dying in 1873. He married, September 28, 1814, Hannah, daughter of Daniel (2) Robbins, of Winthrop. She died July 28. 1828, and Mr. Bailey married in 1830 her

sister Mary. The first wife was the mother of four children: Daniel, Robbins, Moses, Charles Martin and George; and the second wife was the mother of John, Albert E. and William P.
(VIII) Moses, second son of Ezekiel and Hannah (Robbins) Bailey, was born Decem- ber 18, 1817, in Winthrop, and was brought up on his father's farm, being employed a portion of the time in the oilcloth factory. At the age of sixteen he went to a Friends' school in Providence, Rhode Island, where he took a three years' course of study, spending his vacations during the summer seasons in help- ing out with the labors of the farm and fac- tory. In 1838, in partnership with his brother, Charles M., he purchased the oilcloth factory established by his father, and their industry and sound business management caused the establishment to grow to large proportions. Two years afterward Moses Bailey sold his interest to his brother and erected an exten- sive factory at Winthrop Center, which he operated alone with great success until it was destroyed by fire in 1870. He rebuilt and-con- ducted the factory until a few years later. On account of impaired health he retired from active labors for a time, and in 1875 he pur- chased an oilcloth factory in Camden, New Jersey, which he enlarged and improved and placed in charge of his nephew, Lincoln D. Farr. In the meantime he had opened an oil- cloth and carpet store in Portland, Maine, in company with J. S. Marrett, under the style of Marrett, Bailey & Company, and this en- terprise was carried forward successfully in the charge of Mr. Marrett. Mr. Bailey main- tained the general supervision of this estab- lishment and the factory in Camden until his death, which occurred at his home in Winthrop Center, June 6, 1882. At the time of his mar- riage he began life in a humble way, accord- ing to the custom of the Society of Friends. In 1856 he erected a large modern and sub- stantial dwelling at Winthrop Center, which continued to be his home thereafter. Like his father, he strictly adhered to the customs and discipline of the Society of Friends, and was clerk of the Winthrop Monthly Meeting for twenty-two years. He was clerk of the Fair- field Quarterly Meeting for thirteen years, and the works of the society along the line of edu- cation, temperance and peace found him a ready and liberal contributor. He was mar- ried in 1840 to Betsey, daughter of Reuben Jones, of Winthrop. After a long illness, she died March 21, 1867, and in October of the following year he was married to Hannah,
daughter of David and Letitia (Clark) John- ston, of Plattekill, Ulster county, New York. (See Johnston VII.) She was the mother of one son, mentioned below.
(IX) Moses Melvin, only child of Moses and Hannah (Johnston) Bailey, was born Sep- tember 30, 1869, in Winthrop. He is ex- tensively engaged in the wholesale and retail coal business in Portland, where he resides, and the family are active and useful members of the Society of Friends. He married, June, 1892, Lettie M., daughter of Jackson Smith, of Fairfield, Maine, and they are the parents of two sons: Moses and Philip.
The Johnston line is as follows: Johnston is an old Scotch name, a modification of the English name Johnson, and wherever this spell- ing is found it marks its bearers as of Scotch lineage. It is very widely represented in this country, especially in Pennsylvania, by de- scendants who came from northern Ireland and are known as Scotch-Irish people.
(I) John Johnston and his wife, Euphame (Scott) Johnston, resided in or near Pitlochie, in Scotland. The wife was a daughter of George Scott, Laird of Pitlochie, who brought a large number of Scotch settlers to New Jersey on the ship "Henry and Francis," in December, 1685. He was subsequently a mem- ber of the councils respectively of New Jer- sey and New York, and for thirteen . years was a member of the New Jersey legislature, from Middlesex, being speaker of the house for ten years of this time.
(II) John (2), son of John (1) and Eu- phame (Scott) Johnston, was born May 7, 1691, in New Jersey, and died September 6, 1731. He married, May 19, 1717, Elizabeth Jamison, and they were the parents of: Eliza- beth, John, Mary, Euphame, David, Thomas, Jamison and Johanna.
(III) David, second son of John (2) and Elizabeth (Jamison) Johnston, was born Jan- uary 3, 1724, and resided in New York. He married, May 27, 1753, Magdalen Walton, daughter of Jacob and Mary ( Beekman) Wal- ton. They were the parents of : Mary, Eliza- beth, Cornelia, John (died young), Magdalen, John, David Jamison, Ann, Jacob and Eu- phemia.
(IV) David Jamison, third son of David and Magdalen (Walton) Johnston, was born July 16, 1766, and resided in New York, where he died about the beginning of the nineteenth century. He was a member and elder of the Society of Friends.
(V) Thomas, son of David J. Johnston, married Anna Terrell, said to be of French

ancestry, but probably of English lineage, and has many spellings in the New England rec- ords, such as: Turrell, Terrall, Tirrell, Thur- ill, Thurl and many other forms. Thomas Johnston and wife lived in Bound Brook, New Jersey, and were also members of the Society of Friends.
(VI) David, son of Thomas and Anna (Ter- rell) Johnston, was born in Bound Brook, New Jersey, 1810. He attended the local schools, and learned the trade of tanner, which was his occupation for several years. He was located for many years at Plattekill, Ulster county, New York. He became an acknowl- edged minister of the Society of Friends and labored in that position throughout the greater part of his life. He married Letitia Clark, a descendant from Samuel (1) Clark, a mem- ber of the Society of Friends, who came from England in 1630 and settled at Stamford, Con- necticut.
(VII) Hannah, daughter of David and Leti- tia (Clark) Johnston, was born July 5, 1839, in Cornwall-on-the-Hudson, the eldest child of her parents. She was educated in a Friends' boarding school and for nine years was em- ployed as a teacher in the public schools of New York state. In October, 1868, she be- came the wife of Moses Bailey, of Winthrop, Maine. (See Bailey VIII.) Upon the death of her husband, in 1882, she assumed charge of his extensive business and conducted it with success for several years. In 1891 she was made president of the Maine Women's Equal Suffrage Association, and was released from this office at her own request, after filling it with exceptional ability for a period of six years. At the Columbian Exposition at Chi- cago in 1893, she was one of the judges in the department of liberal arts, being appointed by the board of lady managers. At the conven- tion of the National Council of Women, held in Washington, D. C., in 1895, she was elected treasurer for a period of three years. She has held similar positions of trust and responsi- bility in the work of the Society of Friends, and has represented the state of Maine at the National Board of Charities and Corrections, by the appointment of two successive govern- ors. When the department of peace and in- ternational arbitration was organized by the National in 1887, and in 1889 by the World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Mrs. Bailey was delegated the work of superintend- ing it, and under her active and intelligent labors the peace department has been organ- ized in thirty-three states, and has been a po- tential factor in the sessions of the world's
peace congresses held since its organization. This department, in connection with other peace societies of the world, observes the third Sabbath of December in each year as peace Sunday. In promoting the interests of this work, Mrs. Bailey has traveled extensively, has visited most of the largest cities in Eu- rope, Asia and Africa, besides the continent of North America. The value of her labors in behalf of mankind and the world's progress is incalculable, and the bands of peace and good will hope that she may be able to devote many more years of labor to this arduous task.
Among the early Massachusetts BAILEY families which have contributed much to the moral, intellectual and material development of New England and the United States, this is numerously repre- sented in Maine. It has been conspicuously identified with scientific research and with all the forces of human progress.
(I) Richard Bailey, the ancestor of a very numerous progeny, was born about 1619, and is said to have come from Yorkshire, England. According to "Coffin's History," he came from Southampton, in the ship "Bevis," a vessel of one hundred and fifty tons, commanded by Robert Batten, being then at the age of fifteen years. According to Savage, this was in 1638; other authorities place it at 1635. He settled in Rowley, Massachusetts, and was a man of recognized piety and influence in the com- munity.
