J.B.Y. Bailey
also known as I.B.Y. Bailey (initials uncertain in the record)
The deepest Bailey ancestor the record reaches, and Chuck’s maternal 6×-great-grandfather on the Fleming line. He appears in the Bailey Family Group Record only by initials — entered as “I.B.Y. OR J.B.Y. Bailey”, the compiler himself unsure which letter the source document showed. No dates or places are given.
He was the husband of Hannah Thornsberry and the father of Thomas Bailey, who married Nancy Bartlett in Monongalia County in 1803.
A candidate for future research: the initials, and any first name behind them, are unresolved.
