Daniel Beardsley (b 1773) Meet the In-Laws! Hannah's parents, Bailey and Brush
Meet the In-laws...
But before you can meet them, you have to decide, did Daniel Beardsley marry Hannah Brush or Hannah Bailey??
He married Hannah Bailey........
1: According to History of Putnam County Ohio 1880, H.H.Hardesty & Co., Publishers, Chicago and Toledo
2: According to Annie B.Bushong, 1930.
3: According to National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution., H.M.G. inquiry, 1903.
4: According to Hannah's son Barna, who named a son Daniel Bailey Beardsley.
5: Hannah,s son was named Daniel B. most probably for Bailey.
6. Hannah's son, Hiel (aka Hial, Hart) named his first born Jacob after Hannah's father Jacob Bailey.
7: They were neighbors in Delhi - Hannah Bailey and Daniel Beardsley, all most certainly met because of the proximity of her Uncle Alexander Brush's and Daniel's brother, Abel Beardsley's property.*
The Hanna Brush myth began is 1903 when "Genealogical history of the Beardsley-lee family in America", the monumental (for Beardsleys) book, Published in 1903, by Isaac H. Beardsley, a great but sometimes inaccurate resource for Beardsley researchers. And it has a least one mistake.... In editing and reading the thousands of circulars he mailed out and received back, Isaac either misread the scribbled name and maiden name for Hanna Bailey, or he just made a mistake and said the Daniel Beardsley who married Hannah Brush (born 1747, our Hannah's aunt - Bathsheba's sister) was our Daniel. Or possibly, since the book was published posthumously (Isaac died 1902), some one else finished up the book. Even if the mistake was spotted after the book was published, there was no one to make the corrections.
Then in 1951 the myth was further promoted by Nellie Beardsley Holt, in her book, "Beardsley Genealogy-The Family of William Beardsley: One of the first settlers of Stratford, Ct." She must have just accepted Isaac's mistake.
Look at the given facts and sources then choose, stay with the 107 year old mistake in Isaac's and Holt's books (both the same source) and a line that dead-ends? Or update your lines and you get some great new ancestors and lots of cousins!

JACOB BAILEY and BATHSHEBA BRUSH
Jacob Bailey was born about 1752 in, Suffolk County, New York. Jacob's parents were probably John Bailey (spelled Bayley in the church) and Experience Gildersleeve.***** Jacob was a tanner by trade and is noted as providing leather for the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War.****

Sometime prior to 1798, they moved, probably with Bathsheba's widowed mother (Bathsheba Brush), to Delhi, New York, because In 1798 Jacobis noted on the Assessment rolls, already with a 16X16 log house, situated on 160 acres, adjoining Abijah Gregory, a father to Jacob's future son in law, Aaron. Bathsheba's Uncle Alexander Brush is noted as an early settler in the Delhi area in 1794, they very well could have been encouraged by him, to move to Delhi, possibly using his cabin and quite probably his lumber mill for wood, to build his house.*
Some time, probably after their children marry and move out, Jacob and Bathsheba most likely moved out of the area, as nothing else is heard of them.
