Hi, thanks for your reply. Do you think your Ganaways are connected with the Bailey's way back? My Will J. Bailey was born in 1860, but I don't have any other info, except that he was living with his brother Ike M(ason) Bailey in the 1900 census of Gibson Co TN. A Will Bailey also signed Ike Mason's son's marriage certificate (sons name was Zebedee Bailey)...This Will J. Bailey's parents (as far as I know) are father: John W. Bailey b. 1827 Granville Co NC and Nancy Porter b. abt 1838. Another brother was Clem C. Bailey. If any of your relatives are still living who might know the Bailey's I would love to give them a call. Or you can pass my number on to them. Email me privately at
waxhwdpatt@aol.com for that info.
