Notes for Joseph & Martha “Patsy” (Family)
There is a monument erected in Magoffin Co. for Joseph and Patsy that contains the following list on the reverse:
Children of Joseph and Patsy Bailey
John Bailey b. 1787 m. Susan
Barbara Bailey b. 1790 m. Hugh Patrick
Benjamin Bailey b. 1791 m. Fanny Stephens
Lemuel Bailey b. 1792 m. Betty Dykes
Rev. Wallace Bailey b. 1802 m. Polly Patrick
Nancy Bailey b. 1810 m. John Foster
Patsy Bailey b. 1812 m. Christopher Gullett
Joseph Bailey Jr. b. 1814 m. Susannah Clark
The smooth block monument is very modern looking, and was probably erected no earlier than the 1970’s. (The N’s, for example, look like upside down U’s with no straight edges, and the M’s like two of them stuck together. While this sort of curved lettering was used in display typography during the Art Deco era, it which was not a common convention on memorial monuments, which tended to be more ornate.) I am skeptical of the birthdates and even the birth order, but the names were probably derived from a will.
