Eliphalet BAILEY, son of Timothy Bailey, was a resident of Dunstable, Mass., in the last century. He was born about the year 1758. He shared the patriotic sentiments which animated all the citizens of that ancient town during the Revolutionary struggle.. We find his name on the roll of Capt. Oliver Cummings' company, raised for defense in March 1776. He also served on the "guards" at Cambridge, and received by a vote the parish five pounds a month for his service.
In company with John F. Woods, Lemuel Perham, and his brother, Oliver Bailey, he came to the Sandy River township in April, 1788, and took up a part of back lot No. 26, east side, in the locality popularly known as Bailey hill. In the long and perilous journey, Mr. and Mrs. Bailey had the grief of burying a little child by the way.
On the farm he took up, he passed the remainder of his life, and died in May, 1836. Mr. Bailey was a deacon in the Baptist Church and a pillar in that communion so long as he lived, giving his last labors to its up building.. He married in Dunstable, Rebecca, daughter of Lemuel Perham, she died in 1806, and he married (2) Nov. 3, 1806, Mary Smith. Eight children by first marriage.
