    I'm always beating my head against the Bailey brick wall. Have you followed this lady forward or backward? I am looking for William Scott Bailey b. abt 1795 in Peacham, Vermont who married Laura Ann McCauley. He has no parents. William and Laura had 4 children before he died in 1834 in Ohio. They had a son, Alonzo Moody Bailey, my 2x ggrandfather.

      I have not done any research on the Bailey family, other than Elizabeth Bailey's connection to Dr. Jeremiah Hall. From that I have determined that Elizabeth's parents were John Bailey and Elizabeth Cowen of Massachusetts. Elizabeth had 3 siblings that I am aware of, there may be more. Those siblings are John, Joan and Seth, all born 1727-1739. I don't see any of the names you mentioned, in my database. I doubt I will do any more research on the Bailey family as they are not direct ancestors for my husband. I only research collateral lines if I need to find info on the direct lines. In this case knowing who Elizabeth's parents and siblings were is sufficient.
      I wish you luck in finding William's parents. I have a few of those brick walls in my family and it's tough.
      Thanks for stopping by.
