  (from Sandra Fender)
 Below are my notes on Charles Bailey. Much taken from "Heritage of the Toe
 River Valley". Most articles about these families written by Dr. Lloyd
 Bailey a noted Yancey County Historian.
  Charles Bailey was born between 1789 - 1794 on Storey/Story/Storie Branch, a
 tributary of Little King Creek in Wilkes County, NC (now Caldwell). His
 family moved to the Toe River Valley before he reached the age of 10, they
 lived on Lower Browns Creek in Celo. His wife's family were neighbors.
 In 1834 Charles obtained a grant from the state for 100 acres on Browns
 Creek. In 1837 he sold 630 acres near his home to Thomas Gibbs and bought
 30 acres on Jacks Creek from Malcolm McCourry, adding 15 more from Thomas
 Deyton the next year. He thus moved to the vicinity of Day Book, on the
 ridge behind the present Bailey Hill Cemetery. Minutes of Zion Baptist
 Church record that Charles Bailey, Margaret Bailey and John Riddle were
 admitted to membership by letter on Sept. 21, 1839
 The minutes of this church contain a number of other references to this
 family:
 Jan. 1840; Charles Bailey "kept his seat for misconduct and was restored to
 his seat again.(That is, he did not stand at the moment called for as a
 signal of being in "fellowship" with members of the congregation.)

 the next Association.

 Baily who kept her seat against (illegible name); case continued until next
 meeting.

 as Administrator for John Riddle, sr. decd. (father of Peggy Bailey). He
 lists his property as 550 acres, valued at 700.00.
  The 1850 Yancey census, mortality schedule contain the notation that Charles
 Bailey died at age 60 in Dec. 1849 of "viceral Calculi". after a sickness of
 270 days. This affliction is kidney/bladder stones, a particularly painful
 circumstance which he endured for 9 months before it "did him in."
 Charles is buried in an unmarked grave at Bailey Hill Cemetery.
