  Anecdote	16 Sep 1679	Accomack County, Virginia, USA   [3]
  	In the 16 Sep 1679 will of Southy Littleton, Mr. Richard Bayly, along with Thomas Teagle clerk, Col. William Kendall, Maj. Edmond Bowman, Capt. John Robins & Capt. Daniel Jenifer, were named as overseers of my will & to look after the education of my children. Son Bowman was to be kept at Richard Bally's. (Note: It is unclear if Bayly and Bally are the same, but since other children were to be kept by other overseers, it is assumed that Bayly and Bally are the same person.)
  Biography	Richard Bayly II is referred to in Whitelaw as a descendant of Richard Bayly I (bc 1600-1661). There are many references to the name Richard Bayly in Whitelaw. A quick search of Whitelaw indicates that Richard Bayly I (1600-1661) came to Virginia via the Barbadoes in 1640 and married Elizabeth, widow of Henry Weede who died in 1644. They moved from the Henry Weede property (N88) to a part of A18 on the south side of Craddock Creek next to A17, which was Colonel Edmund Scarburgh's property. This was the area were Colonel Edmund's son, Edmund Jr., and Edmund Jr.'s daughter Ursula resided. Richard (II)'s son, Richard Bayly Jr. married Ursula. Richard Bayly II (est. 1645-1728) was married in 1665 to Mary Jones, sister of a Henry Jones and daughter of Mary Harper. He later married Elizabeth, who survived him. He had at least two sons. One was Richard Bayly III, wife Rosana, who had three sons: Edmund Bayly (? -1796), Richard (?-1769) wife Betty, and Henry (?-?). Richard Bayly II's other son was Edmund, to whom he gave 800 acres of land in 1694 (Whitelaw, pg 460, 635-9, 642, 846, 892, 898, 1051).
  Will - Witnessed a will	14 Jun 1691	Accomack County, Virginia, USA   [4]
  	It was on this date that Richard Bally Jr., along with James Alexander, Edward Marten & Tully Robinson, witnessed the will of Mary Scarburgh. (Note: She was the wife of Col. Edmund Scarburgh)
  Land - they sold land	11 Feb 1725	Accomack County, Virginia, USA   [5, 6]
  	According to the Turman research, it was on this date that Richard Bayly had assigned to Elizabeth Smith and Valentine Smith, her husband for L100 current money a 300 acre tract of land on the south side of Messongo Creek. The land was entailed in that Valentine was to have a life interest if his wife predeceased him. The land was to go to the lawful heirs of their body. Since Elizabeth was not named in the will of said Richard Bayly, the relationsip was not established. According to Whitelaw, Valentine died intestate in 1731 and his estate was administered to Roger Miles, who may have married Elizabeth, but a son Bayly Smith was the heir-at-law.
  Record ID	25326
  Will	19 Apr 1726	Accomack County, Virginia, USA   [7]
  	To grandson Henry Bayly, son of Richard & Rosanna Bayly, dec'd, 250 acres on the north side of Craddock Creek & for want of heirs to grandson Southy Bayly. To grandson Richard Bayly the rest of my land on Craddock. To grandson Whittington Bayly. To grandson Edmund Bayly a silver dram cup marked R:B. To grandson William Bayly 100 acres near Matomkin. To Scarburgh West 3 acres on small bear branch adjacnet the land of said West. To wife Elizabeth 1/3 of my plantation during her widowhood. Balance of estate to be divided in 6 parts between wife Elizabeth, Richard Bayly, Henry Bayly, Whittington Bayly, Lacy Harman, Henry Bayly, the son of Richard & Rosanna. Grandson Richard Bayly, Henry Bayly & William Harman Extrs. Witt: Mitcheall Scarburgh, William Smith and Rosanna Bayly. (Note: If Nottingham's above abstract is correct, there are 2 Henry Baylys named in the 6 parts, one as simply Henry Bayly and the second one as Henry Bayly, the son of Richard & Rosanna.) In a land cause of 1742 wherein the widow Elizabeth, then Elizabeth Hutchinson, vs. Richard Baley, eldest son and heir of Richard Baley, disputed the ownership of this land, it was brought out that Henry (son of Richard and Rosanna) took possession of the land and then died and it then passed to Southy Baley, as directed in the above will, and that Southy Baley was represented by his guardian Henry Baley. So this also brings out that there was two Henry Baylys.
  Death	Bef 4 Jun 1728	Accomack County, Virginia, USA   [7]
  	It was on this date that his will was proved.
