~~~~~~~~
Please remember that this is "third hand" information: from the church records, then through Mr. Bailey, and through myself. Although I have proof-read my entry information to my original source, it is very noticeable that there are spelling discrepencies and/or spelling questions within the original publication. The Library of Congress lists a later edition of these records that contain "corrections and additions." This would be well worth a "look see."
