William Fleming Bailey, Senior, was born about 1755. In 1771 he was 16 years of age or over and was living with his father, James Bailey, in Bute (now Warren) County, North Carolina which adjoins the Virginia line in the eastern part of the state. This is evident in the 1771 Bute County NC Tax List published in the N.C. Journal of Genealogy, Wm Perry Johnson, ed. Fall 1965 Issue.

On 9 July 1777, in Bute County, North Carolina, William married Molley Sprunt, the daughter of James Sprunt.

The proof that William Bailey was a Revolutionary soldier is established by a voucher # 1331, dated first of September 1784, for 31 pounds and nine shillings, on file in the North Carolina Archives. The N.C. Revolutionary Pay Voucher shows he was paid in Halifax District of which Warren County was a part, and this has been accepted by NSDAR. The voucher states, A Greeable to Act of Assembly, paided in May, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-four, the state of North Carolina is indebted to William Bailey of the Continental Line this date, Thirty one poundes, nano shillings specie, on account 1st January 1784. Dated at Halifax, the first of September, 1784, {sign} Comissioners.

William and Molley Bailey migrated to Lancaster County, South Carolina shortly after the War and settled on Cedar Creek, Lancaster County, South Carolina.

On the 3rd of January 1788, three hundred and thirty acres were surveyed for William Bailey. Situate in the District of Camden on the Drains and Runs of Cedar Creek North East Side of the Catawba River bounding South West on said William Baileys William Stevens Land, South West on William Robinson's Land Vacant Land, North West on Jon Simpson and Isaac Stewarts Land , North East on Bailey Flemings Land. On June 2nd 1788, he paid seven pounds for the tract of land, witness by Thomas Pinckney. As of 1997, chimney and foundation remains of the Bailey home site can be found along Cedar Creek, on Walker Road which is between Stoneboro Road(Hwy. 522) and MT. Carmel Campground Road.

A monument to William Fleming Bailey's Revolutionary Service and Patriotism stands with other Patriots monuments at Salem Cemetery in Heath Springs, Lancaster County, S.C., on Highway 521. A dedication ceremony was held in May 1976 for the Revolutionary Patriots of Lancaster County at Salem Cemetery.

William's actual grave site is at the Mackey/Walker Cemetery on Hoke Road off of MT. Carmel Campground Road.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
