It has been awhile since I posted anything on this, so I am going to try again. I am looking for information on Tennessee Belle Bailey, namely, her mother and siblings, and additional info on her father. She was born c 1858 in Tennessee according to census records. She married William Columbus Burnham on 22 Sep 1875 in Dyer Co, TN and died in childbirth in Feb 1880; the son, Albert survived. Tennessee's father was Jesse Bailey. According to the family bible that my uncle has, Jesse Bailey (1826-1904) was born in DeKalb Co, GA. I have since determined through census records that, according to Jesse, he was born in GA but his parents were both born in NC; also looking for info on his parents. I do not have his first wife's name (Tennessee's mother) but I do know that his second wife was Mary Elizabeth Slayton (1837 - 1912) and that they married on 26 Sep 1868 in Dyer Co, TN, probably when Tennessee was about 10 years of age. The bible is vague as to whether Slayton is a maiden name or if she, too, was a widow and Slayton was her married name. Jesse also served the Confederacy and was a POW for a time; I am also looking for his records and the company he served in case there are clues in those as to a wife's name at the time, since he apparently was married before the war began. Any info anyone is willing to share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
