The Bailey's of Giles County, Tennessee

This site is devoted and dedicated to the genealogical research of the Richard Bailey family of early day Giles County, Tennessee and the first four generations of his descendants. Although much of this research involves my direct line, hopefully there are enough related family notes and links so that other family member's may benefit from it. I’ve discovered there’s very little research out there about this Bailey family and my goal with this site is to share research and also debate, debunk and discuss this family to hopefully get a more accurate history for future generations of Bailey genealogist to ponder. All of the following opinions are my own.  I welcome all correspondence and appreciate any additions or corrections.  Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy.
