Notes:

In October 1818 Elizabeth Bailey and John Smith were appointed Administrators
of the Estate of Robert Bailey deceased. On 20 November 1818 the Court issued
a distributions order for Elizabeth Bailey widow, "her family being seven in
number"; she was to have corn, wheat, potatoes, fodder, eight small hogs, wool,
cotton and $30.00 cash. Inventory taken 10 December 1818 included tools,
household furnishings and animals.

Final Disposition of the Bailey land in Roane County is covered in a series of
deeds: on 13 July 1841 Robert C. Bailey of Roane County, for $57 conveyed to
Eliza M. Bailey all of his rights as an heir of Robert Bailey deceased,
specifically an undivided one-sixth interest in 50 acres located near Cave
Spring on the North Tennessee River, "where Robert Bailey's widow now resides";
on 21 September 1867 Ann Smith, formerly Ann Bailey, of the 13th Civil
District, Roane County, for $150 deeded to her sister Eliza M. Houston, formerly
Eliza Bailey, an undivided interest in 50 acres in the 15th Civil District,
"where the said Eliza M. Houston and her husband now reside", adjoining
property of William J. Owings and the Ellis Mill tract; Ann's interest was
originally one-sixth, but is now one-fifth because her brother John Bailey, who
went to Texas and has not been heard from in the last twenty years is now
presumed dead with his share undisposed of; on 27 January 1869 Jane McMillen of
Henderson County, Kentucky, by her Attorney J. B. Smith of Roane County, for
$150 conveyed to "our sister Eliza M. Houston wife of Robert F. Houston", the
undivided interest of the said Margaret Smith in the 50 acres in the 13th Civil
District, the estate of her father Robert Bailey, also as a sister and
heir-at-law of our brother John L. Bailey, "who left the county many years ago,
unmarried, and is supposed to have died."

Elizabeth married Robert Bailey , Pennsylvania. Robert died 1818, , Roane, Tennessee. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Died in Allen Twp., "three miles north of Lisburn".

On 19 Oct. 1803 John Mateer was appointed administrator of the Estate of Robert
McTeer of Allen Twp.; bond was set for $500 with Charles Quigley and James
Mateer as sureties.

A 1797 conveyance connecting Robert McTeer of Allen Twp., with Robert Bailey,
named as a son-in-law in the will of James McTeer, together with the fact that
John Mateer, another son of James, filed for Administration on Robert's estate
on 19 Oct. 1803, the very same date when he took their father's will for
probate, and employing the ?father's witnesses as sureties for the bond on
Robert's estate, confirms the placement of this Robert in this family. Further
proof that this Robert was the same as the Co-executor of Samuel McTeer's will
is found in a deed dated 12 June 1805, whereby Rosanna McTeer and William
Bryson conveyed Samuel's real property to James Dunlap; there the grantors
state that they were appointed Executors of Samuel's estate along with on
Robert McTeer, "which Robert is now deceased."
