Looking for: any kind of birth record
Birth: Marriage certificate lists birthplace as Pasquotank Count, NC. Death Certificate lists birthplace as Okisko, Perquimans County, NC
Marriage to Mary Smith at age 22, lists parents as John and Nancy Bailey. Occupation was oystering.
1880 Census: Found a John L.L. Bailey, 8 years old, Living with his grandmother Christian Bundy in Mount Hermon, Pasquotank, North Carolina. Christian Bundy is likely Emma Christian Holley Bundy, who was the mother of Alonzo/John's mother Nancy Bundy. Not sure if John L or Alonzo would be his correct birth name. Any other grandchildren of Christians would not be Baileys - they would be Bundy's since Nancy was her daughter and married John Bailey. Alonzo was born in 1873, so being 8 years old in 1880 would be the right age. Also, 2 doors down on the same census list, is a 16 year old Charles C Bailey living with another family - same name and age as Alonzo's oldest brother.
1900 Census: Living with Mary and Dora in Seaboard, Princess Anne VA, next door to Mary's parents and siblings. He and Mary had been married 4 years, both parents born in North Carolina, occupation was fishing. Renting their home. Princess Anne, Seaboard district
1910 Census: Living with Minnie and Christian Mae in Seaboard, Princess Anne, Virginia. Charlie had been born in 1906, but was not listed with them, he is listed with the Spences. Alonzo is living in the home of Gillis and Sarah Diggs. Minnie is just 18, Alonzo 36 and they had been married 1 year. I dont know the relation to the Diggs, as Alonzo is listed as a son-in-law, and Minnie as a daughter-in-law. Possibly Sarah Diggs is Minnie's mother, and her 2nd husband was Gillis Diggs - the census says they'd only been married 12 years, and Minnie and her sister Sally were 18 and 15 - so that's my guess at this point.
1920 Census:
Alonzo Lee Bailey |
