BAILEY |
The 4th great-grandfather of James
Miner Bailey (1810-1899) is well documented as James Bailey of Rowley, MA who
emigrated 1638 in the ship AMERICA. According to The Bailey Family
by Jeanne Bailey Ransom ( pub 1991) James of Rowley was the son of
Godfrey Bayley of Bradford Parish, Yorkshire. The
origins of this family are unknown, but whether Scottish, English or
Irish, the shield of the Bailey family is the azure shield with nine
stars (some variations in the shape of the stars) but the crest of
the Scottish clan is a boars head |
