Amy LeValley

Notes:

The names of these children came from a letter handwritten by Benjamin LeValley, b.1801.

Michael LeValley was "of Warwick."

Michael married Amy Bailey 26 Aug 1757, Phenix, RI. Amy (daughter of William BAILEY and Rebecka STRAIGHT) was born 24 Jun 1734, East Greenwich, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Notes:

Michael was "of Warwick" and Almy was "of East Greenwich."

Notes:

According to a statement written by his great-grandson Benjamin LeValley, Peter was a Frenchman who landed at Marblehead, MA, in the early 1700s. "He remained at Marblehead for some time and acquired considerable property but afterwards traded some of it off for real estate in Warwick, RI, near what is now called River Point or Phoenixville." According to Benjamin, Peter had two sons, John & Michael, and also some daughters, names unknown. I have seen genealogies that assign a son Peter to him, also, as included on this family tree.

Peter — Sarah Unknown. Sarah was born Abt 1685. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

William Bailey was made freeman of East Greenwich on 2 May 1721.

William married Rebecka STRAIGHT Abt 1719. Rebecka (daughter of Henry STRAIGHT, Jr. and Hannah UNKNOWN) was born 27 Apr 1700. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Her father's will gives her name as Rebeckah. The book "Records of the Bailey Family" gives her date of birth as 27 Jan 1700.

Notes:

Hugh Bailey was made a freeman of the Colony at Newport 2 May 1702. He came to East Greenwich from Newport sometime between 1696 and 1702. It has been reported that all of his children were by his first wife, Anna. His second wife was named Abigail Williams. However, the town records in East Greenwich suggest that he may have had a second wife named Ann, because while the birth entry for William says "eldest son of Hugh and Anna," the entry for Samuel says "eldest son of Hugh and Ann." The seven-year gap between the first two sons may allow for this possibility, also. Information on his family can be found in "The History of East Greenwich, Rhode Island, 1677-1960, With Related Genealogy" by Martha R. McPartland, p. 264; and in "Records of the Bailey Family" by Hannah C. (Bailey) Hopkins.

Hugh married Anna Unknown Between 1687 and 1695. Anna was born Abt 1667, Rhode Island; died 5 Feb 1720/21. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

One family historian says her surname is Babcock. See notes for her husband Hugh Bailey.

Notes:

See East Greenwich will dated 5 Oct 1732, proved 4 Nov 1732. This names these sons and daughters. There were two younger children, Henry and Rebeckah, who died in early infancy. Subsequent children received the same names.

I have estimated his birth year, pending further research.

He probably married second to Mary Webb at Warwick, 1 Aug 1725. In this ceremony, Mary was wearing "only a shift," signifying that this was a "shift marriage" in which the woman's new spouse was protected from debts of her previous marriage because he could be held responsible only for what she held on her person.

Henry married Hannah UNKNOWN 13 Feb 1696/97, East Greenwich, Kent Co., RI. Hannah died Between 1714 - 1725. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

It has been suggested by one family historian that she was Hannah Tolman.
