LEVI
BAILEY AND DESCENDANTS
submitted by

| Levi
Bailey, b. ca 1776 in Virginia, was probably son of William Bailey who
on January 23, 1797 in Buncombe Co., NC (Deed Book 4, p. 101) for $100.00
gave Levi Bailey "6 cows and calves, 5-2 year old steers, 7-3 year old
Heffers, and 1-3 year old bull, one mare and colt, 2 feather beads [sic]
and a quantity of puter."
Levi had at least two dozen land transactions in Buncombe Co., NC, from
1797 through 1825. He appears on each Federal census for Buncombe
Co., NC from 1800 through 1830. The 1820 census (p.94) shows him
with six slaves. The 1830 census (p.295) shows him with ten slaves.
I've been unable to locate him in 1840 but the 1850 Yancey Co., NC census
shows him with wife Mary, b. ca 1782 in Virginia.
The minutes of Spring 1818 for Bull Creek Baptist Church also indicate
his wife was probably a "Mary Baley" but that Mary is probably not the
wife Mary that he had in 1850. It appears that in October 1835 he
married Mary Peek, widow of James Peek.
Levi Bailey was Captain of The Buncombe County Third Regiment of the Detached
Militia, organized in August 1814 (Re: Muster Rolls of the War of
1812, published under the direction of the Adjutant General). His
1st Lieutenant was Joseph Shepard. David Hughey was the Ensign.
Levi's will was dated March 31, 1851 in Madison Co., NC.
Among his children were: Allen Bailey, b. ca 1796; Sarah Bailey,
b. ca 1798, m. Rev. James B. McMahan, Methodist Minister, and lived in
Yancey Co., NC.
Elizabeth Bailey, b. ca 1800, m. Ira Crowder and lived in Madison Co.,
NC.
Nancy Bailey, b. ca 1802, m. Abner Jervis and lived in Yancey Co., NC.
Levi Bailey, b. ca 1800-10; Polly Bailey, m. Henry S. Holcombe;
Wiley C. Bailey, b. ca 1809; Joyce Bailey, b. September 11, 1809, m. Abner
Holcombe and lived in Jackson Co., KY in 1860;
Dorcas Bailey, m. John Anderson.
My lineage is as follows: Allen Bailey (ca 1796-1829) - Matilda Bailey
(ca 1827/29 - ca 1905) m. Rev. Stephen Wallin - Loutisha Ellen Wallin (1858-1941)
m. Richard Franklin - Emaline Franklin (1882-1923) m. Stephen Alexander
Lewis - Carrie Emaline Lewis (1907 - ) m. Geo. Wilson Wilde - Kenneth Charles
Wilde (1932- ).
