Husband's General Notes
Per WFT#7-#1070, this James Bailey is the son of William and Sarah (Sprouse) Bailey. However, per information found in the book "West Virginians in the Revolution" James E. Bailey was idetified as the son of William and Sarah per William's pension application. This is further confused since both men married wives named Mary.(Polly is a nickname for Mary, although Polly Lanham Bailey is consistantly identified as Polly rather than Mary.)
THIS NEEDS FURTHER RESEARCH TO RESOLVE!!!!!!
