Mary Ann DORSEY - 1776-1853 Baltimore, MD
Hi Everyone,
I am looking for conformation that the Mary I have in my file is the same Mary Ann DORSEY who married Samuel BAILEY in Baltimore, MD, November 19, 1795.
Here is what I have: Caroline BAILEY b.1812 was born in KY and was married in Wayne Co., Indiana to Wilson ALLEN, they remove to Hamilton Co., IN sometime before 1850 where I find them on the census. (Fall Creek Twp, Hamilton Co., IN)
On the previous page I find Mary BAILEY, age 74 (b.ca 1776), born in Maryland, she is living with Matthias POOLE (1795 KY) and his spouse Sarah (1805 VA), I assume Sarah is Mary's daughter. The marriage index of hamilton Co., IN says Sarah's name was MATIX, (Mattox?), is this family associated with the DORSEY family of MD? I suspect Sarah's middle name was MATTOX, and of course her maiden name was BAILEY, just a theory.
This Mary b. 1776 MD is buried in the Fort Cemetery, Fall Creek Twp., Hamilton Co., IN, says died September 8, 1855, wife of Samuel BAILEY.
So it seems Samuel BAILEY was briefly in VA around 1805, then to KY by 1812. I find no record of Samuel residing in Wayne Co., IN. I do find an Anne Bailey and a Mary BAILEY residing there on the 1840. Interestinly enough on the same page.
My questions regarding this family are as follows: where in Virginia and/or Kentucky did this BAILEY family reside?
Does anyone have the issue of Samuel BAILEY and Mary Ann DORSEY, or am I way off base in assuming this is the same Mary??
Does anyone know if this BAILEY family ever left MD? And finally does anyone know who Mary's parents were?
Any information regarding this family greatly appreciated!
