      Pg.740, Clyde Township. Biographical Sketches. WILLIAM BAILEY, farmer, Section 11, P.O. Ruby, is a native of England, and was born in 1821. His parents James and Sarah Bailey, came to the United States in 1830. His father was a Methodist minister; they lived in New Jersey six years, then removed to Canada. William grew up to manhood and lived there until 1872, when he came to St.Clair County, and located at Abbotsford in the town of Clyde, and lived there eight years; then removed on the farm where he now lives. Mr. Bailey owns, besides the farm of 180 acres where he now lives, the mill at Abbotsford, eighty acres of land and other property. His success in life is owing to his own efforts. Mr. Bailey married Miss Sarah Dunkin, formerly of New York State, May 26, 1845; she died March 2, 1864, and left four children -- William A., Alice Jane, now Mrs. Moses McKay, Sarah H., now Mrs. Bidwell D. Stewart, and George W., attending school at Urbana, Ohio. In 1865, Mr. Bailey married Jane Ann Gillam, of the State of Pennsylvania.
