Page 257. Some Descendants of the Pioneers 6. According to The History of Middle New River Settlements (page 377), Richard was born in England and married Annie Belcher. The former fact has not been proven and the latter appears erroneous. All deeds and other records in which the wife of Richard is mentioned, her name is given as Elizabeth, including a sale of property in Chesterfield County in 1763. Her last name was probably Belsher, as given, since other references also point to the relationship through the Belsher line; however, no marriage record has been located. The children of Richard and Elizabeth were: John (m. Nancy Davidson); James (m. Margaret Stinson); RICHARD (m. Isabel Ferguson); Chloe (m. 1st David McComas & probably 2nd David Lusk); Micajah (m. Naomi ___); Reuben (m. 1st Sarah Ferguson & 2nd Milly Belsher); Archibald (m. Agnes _____); Sarah (m. Samuel Lusk); Eli (m. Agnes "Nancy" Clark); Henry (m. Elizabeth Peters). Page 261.

He lived very near the Richard Bailey family and married on 23 April 1812 Phebe Belcher (dau of Isham) who was a grandniece of Richard Bailey, Sr. He appears in the 1840 and 1850 census of Logan County, Virginia – in 1850 he is 63 years.

He must have done some farming with the help of his sons. His prowness as a hunter (also sons: John, James, and RICHARD, JR.) was well documented in the Tazewell County, Virginia, Records by the great number of wolf heads he brought I for bounty. 17 In order to gain a better picture of what Richard and this part of his life was like, we can examine hunting during the 1760’s to 1780’s…. Eleanor Compton was Joseph Davidson’s only witness. That fact proves that Richard Bailey, Sr. was Joseph’s companion during spying expeditions and not RICHARD BAILEY, JR. RICHARD BAILEY, JR. Would have certainly been called as a witness if he had been Joseph’s companion. RICHARD, JR. Was living I the Tazewell and Mercer county area at the time of Joseph’s pension application. The pension application also stated that Joseph never received a written discharge, and the court records stated that he had "no documentary evidence." … Richard Bailey’s land purchases were so numerous and complicated that they will be listed in chart form.
