*THE WEBSTER BAILEY FAMILY.
Webster Bailey's first American ancestor was Richard Bailcy, sometimes called Richard of Rowley. As nearly as can be ascertained, he came from Yorkshire, England, between 1630 and 1635. Another authority says that "Richard Bailey came with Richard Duinmer in the ship Bevis, 150 tons, Robert Batten, Captain, in April, 1638, when he was fifteen years

old." The exact date of his death is not known. The records in the office of the Clerk of Courts at Salem, Mass., contain a copy of his will, dated "Rowley 15 of the last month, 1647." In the Salem Court files, Book 1, leaf 98, is found a record of his estate inventoried after his death, dated "6th mon: 23: 1648." So that his death must have occurred between the two last mentioned dates. The records shows him to be a man of comfortable means for those days, the footing of the inventory being "106 L. 08 s. 10 d." His wife was Ednah Holstead by whom he had one child, viz :
II. JOSEPH, who settled in the north part of Rowley, now incorporated as Groveland, Mass. He is now mentioned as he was in his own time, as "Deacon Joseph," having had long church relations, being one of the 18 original members of Congregational church at Bradford, Mass., organized in 1682. He d. Oct. 11, 1712. He was the father of eight c., the fifth being Joseph, Jr.
III. JOSEPH, JR., was b. in 1683, Feb. 13, at Bradford, Mass., (now Groveland), and settled in West Newbury, Mass., on the border of Bradford near his father. He m. Feb. 14, 1710, or 11, Abigail Webster of Bradford, Mass., a dau. of Nathan Webster. Joseph, Jr., d. April 4, 1755. He was the father of seven c., the third being Ezekiel.
IV. EZEKIEL was b. at West Newbury, Mass., in July, 1717; m. Sarah Green of East Haverhill, Mass., June 17, 1746; settled on the home farm where he d. Feb. 6, 1813, aged 96 years. His wife d. at the age of 95 years. They lived as husband and wife, 67 years. He was the father of eight c., the second being Webster.
V. WEBSTER was b. at West Newbury, Mass., Aug. 23, 1747. He m. Mary (or, as she was frequently called, Molly) Noyes, August 25, 1772. A brief sketch of the Noyes family contains a very interesting coincidence, viz: 1639, In Rev. James Noyes and Nicholas, his brother, came from Wiltshire, England, to America, first to Ipswich and then settled in Newbury, Mass. The generations of these two brothers are :
1. Rev. James Noyes 1. Nicholas Noyes
2. William Noyes
2. James Noyes
3. John Noyes
3. Ephraim Noyes
4. William Noyes
5. Mary Noyes who m. Webster Bailey
4. Prudence Noyes who m. Gen. Jacob Bayley
From Richard of Rowley and John of Salisbury descend the two principal Bailey families in Newbury. As far as can be ascertained, there is no relationship known to exist between Richard and John. It is safe to say that the first representatives of these two families in Vermont came to Newbury. The first forty years of Webster's life were spent in W. Newbury, Mass., where seven of his eleven c. were b. But little is known of his life prior to his coming to Newbury. Judging from a lease published by the West Newbury, Mass., Messenger of May 19, 1888, under the title of "An Old Document," which lease comprises farm and stock from Enoch Plummer to Webster Bailey, dated Dec. 18, 1778, it is probable that Webster Bailey was a farmer prior to his advent in Newbury and well founded tradition says that he was also engaged in the butchering business in his Massachusetts home. It is also presumptive that he served an apprenticeship in the tanning, as well as the boot and shoe business before coming to Vermont. The exact date of Webster Bailey's arrival in Newbury cannot be determined. Alfred Poor, in his Researches in the Merrimack Valley published in 1858, from which many facts of the earlier generations are gleaned, says (page 140) "That Webster resided at West Newbury, Mass., until after March, 1787, and removed his family to Vermont." The first mention of Webster Bailey's name in our land records is found in book 2 at page 211 where the record of a purchase of seven acres of land is made from William Kincade, described as being between Col. Jacob Kent's and Col. Wallace's land, the purchase money being "seventy bushels of wheat." The date of the purchase being Dec. 20, 1788. Then follows the record (in book 2) of various purchases of contiguous lands. These premises which became the Webster Bailey homestead are situated on the river road about one mile and a half south

of Newbury village and are now owned and occupied by James A. Johnson. In book 2, page 403, of land records, is found a record of the purchase of a pew (No. 28) in the meeting-house from Frye Bailey for which 10 pounds lawful money was paid, dated Feb. 26, 1794. Webster Bailey united with the Congregational church, Nov. 6, 1791, under the pastorate of Rev. Nathaniel Lambert who came from the same neighborhood in Massachusetts. On August 10, 1811, he was chosen clerk of the church. Molly, wife of Webster, united with the church September, 1813. Webster Bailey was probably a man in comfortable circumstances for those times for he immediately built a tannery and established a wholesale boot and shoe manufacturing business, supplying dealers, neighborhoods and large families in all the new settlements for miles around, employing from 20 to 30 apprentices and journeymen. This was probably the first establishment of its kind in Vermont. The first mention of Webster Bailey's name in the book of "Town Proceedings" is in the record of a town-meeting held on the second Tuesday of March, 1789, at which meeting Gen. Jacob Bayley was moderator and Col. Jacob Kent was clerk. The record reads "10thly, Voted Webster Bailey Leather Sealer." On April 10, 1816, (see Real Estate Records, book 7, page 408) Betsey Lovewell, widow of Nehemiah Lovewell, deeded the "Lovewell Tavern Stand," which included a large tract of land, afterwards sometimes called "The Seminary Farm" to William Bailey. To this place, William Bailey moved with his father and mother, Webster and Molly where they lived until 1830 when Webster d. February 7th and his wife September 30th of the same year. From his advent in Newbury until his removal to Newbury village, Webster Bailey was an important factor in the business affairs of the town. Webster Bailey and wife were genial, lively people with a well appointed house; a happy home noted for real hospitality.
LYDIA, 1st c. of Webster, m. Jesse White Dec. 4, 1800, and moved to Topsham which town has been and is the ancestral home of a large and thrifty family. (See White family).
WILLIAM, 2nd c. of Webster, un-m., was the business center of the Webster Bailey family in this town. He, with his brothers, Ezekiel and Parker, were the successors of Webster Bailey, continuing the shoe and leather business, until about 1827. While he owned the "Betsey Lovewell Stand," 1825-30, he carried on a large general store business at that place, having as partner, Deacon John Buxton. For a time afterwards, he was in the mercantile business at North Haverhill, N. H., with Russell Hurd as partner. However, his life was practically spent in this town. On January 26, 1833, (See Land Records, Book 10, pp. 448), he sold the Betsey Lovewell property to Simeon Stevens and Timothy Morse for $4,500, they conveying it to the Methodist Conference Trustees for the establishment of Newbury Seminary. The "Betsey Lovewell Stand" being converted into the "Seminary Boarding House," its present use, after being remodeled, being a hotel kept by George A. Sawyer. "Uncle Bill," as he was usually called in later years, was a genial, whole-souled man, a large dealer in live stock, raising and buying for the markets. Some of his quaint stories and cute sayings are quoted to this day. On November 20, 1831, he united with the Congregational church and for a long series of years was its collector. He d. at an advanced age, a much respected man.
EZEKIEL, 3d c. of Webster, came to this town with his parents when about ten years old. During his minority and until about 25 years of age, he worked at home as apprentice, journeyman and partner, mastering all the details of tanning and turning leather into boots and shoes. On Sept. 8, 1803, he m. Lucy Bayley, a dau. of Ephraim and Lucy (Hodges) Bayley and a granddaughter of Gen. Jacob Bayley. He moved immediately to Hardwick, where he purchased several tracts of land. In 1808, he bought a tract of three acres of Abel Curtis, on the Hazen road, on which he built a tannery and shoe shop, the first of its kind in that scction. In 1813, he sold out to David Tuttle. In 1815, he moved to Orfordville, N. H., built a tannery and continued in the boot and shoe business; also carrying on farming on a large scale. He was appointed

postmaster by Andrew Jackson which office he held for many years. He was a Justice of the Peace, also village librarian, keeping both the library and the postoffice in his dwelling house. He was in every sense of the word a man of affairs, prosperous in his business undertakings. Desiring to spend his declining years in this town, he sold his large holdings at Orfordville and moved back to Newbury in 1853. He met with an accident soon after his return, breaking his hip, necessitating the use of crutches the balance of his life. He. d (as also did his brother William) in the house where A. Greer now lives. His widow spent the balance of her years with her nephew, Ephraim B. Strong, at Orford where she died March 1, 1870, aged 87 years, 6 months, 16 days, and was buried by the side of her husband at Newbury. They never had children. "Uncle Zeke" was a strong man physically, blunt of speech, out-spoken in his opinions, with a large streak of brusque humor in his make-up.
SALLY, 4th c. of Webster Bailey, m., August 30, 1799, Whitefield Bailey, who was a descendant of James Bailey, a brother of Richard of Rowley ; the generations of Whitefield being: James,1 John,2 James,3 Stephen, 4 Charles,5 Whitefield.6 Whitefield Bailey is also a descendant of John of Salisbury as follows: John1 of Salisbury, John, Jr.,2 Sarah,3 who married a Cheney, Elenor Cheney,4 who married a Safford, Daniel Safford,5 Abigail Safford,6 who married Charles Bailey, Whitefield Bailey.7 Therefore, it is evident that the descendants of Sally have a threefold portion of Bailey blood in their veins. Whitefield Bailey was born at Newbury, Dec. 8, 1775. They settled in Hardwick, where they lived and died. The Whitefield Bailey homestead remained in the family for over a hundred years. Sally's descendants were more numerous and perhaps more widely scattered than any other of Webster's children, many of them are now living in Caledonia County. Wherever located this family has been leaders in affairs, well-to-do, and noted for their integrity. Whitefield Bailey d. March 14, 1847. Both are buried in the Sanborn graveyard at Hardwick. None of their descendants ever lived in this town.
MARY, 5th c. of Webster, m. Samuel Hibbard, (see Hibbard family). They lived in Canada, Hardwick, North Haverhill, N. H. In this town from 1833-9 on the river road at the place now owned by Carlos E. Brock; then back to North Haverhill where the remainder of their days were spent. Uncle Sam Hibbard was a prominent figure in his time and was as well known in Newbury as in Haverhill. He was b. Oct. 28, 1778, d. June 10, 1852. Mary d. Oct. 30, 1878 at the great age of 95 years and 17 days, living to a greater age than any other of the c. of Webster Bailey.

TEMPY Or TEMPERANCE, 7th child of Webster, was the only one of eleven c. who did not live to maturity. (See genealogical table). She was the last c. b. at West Newbury, Mass., and the only one buried there.

PARKER WEBSTER, 9th c. of Webster, was b. at the old homestead in this town, spent his early years as an apprentice in tanning and shoe-making, and at the age of 25, m. Eliza, (pub. Nov. 27,1817), (b. May 14, 1800), 2d c. of Captain Uriah Ward of Haverhill, N. H. Uriah Ward was the fourth son in the sixth generation from William Ward who came from England in 1639, born in Worcester, Mass., Feb. 2, 1774. He was captain of Artillery in the northern frontier war of 1812. He was widely and well known in this town from the fact of his being a hatter by trade. He lived near the bridge at "Oliverian" village in Haverhill. He was twice married. He d. in March, 1845. Lucy Ann, his sixth c., was the wife of the late Harry C. Bailey, the mother of Elizabeth, wife of Ezra B. Chamberlin. Immediately after his marriage, Parker W. assumed the leadership at the Bailey homestead (his parents and brother William having moved to the village) and continued the tanning and boot and shoe business in partnership with his brother William until the business was discontinued sometime about 1827. In 1828, Parker W. moved to Waits River in Topsham where he built mills on Waits River which were ruined by the great freshet of 1829, causing his financial ruin and necessitating his giving up his business enterprise, adding to this misfortune bodily accident which confined him many months. Parker's course was fraught with hardships never known to his older brothers. He lived for a time in Stanstead, Canada, Orfordville, and Wentworth, N. H., and returned to Newbury in 1851, where he lived in the Greer house with his two brothers, all well advanced in years. Parker W. Bailey and wife united with the Congrega- tional ch. Nov. 20, 1831. Mr. and Mrs. Bailey were devoted to each other, to their family and church, a model couple, great readers of current affairs and devoted Bible students. Their very last years were lovingly ministered to in the home of their son William U. When Parker W. d. in 1881, they had lived happily as man and wife 64 years. Eliza, his wife d. Oct. 1, 1883.

In politics, this family of Baileys were whigs, then Republicans, with, (in the earlier generations) very strong Abolition tendencies, being leaders and holding offices under the political party of their choice. William and Ezekiel Bailey were Royal Arch Masons, very prominent in early masonic circles. In religion this family are Congregationalists, and in the earlier generations strong sectarians.

which Webster is in the fifth, so far as the writer is able to learn, no Bailey in the regular line of descent has ever borne arms regularly enlisted by the U. S. Government. Of Webster Bailey's posterity, there were four war volunteers, two in the war of the rebellion, Carlos and Thomas White of Topsham, and two in the war with Spain, Asher White of Topsham and Paul Burdick of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
Webster Bailey's family have been and are tillers of the soil. However, in the third and fourth generations there is a large percentage of literary attainments, college graduates, teachers, authors and writers.
