Hello, Dianne,
In my database, I have a Marie Coonrod (about 1785-1845) who was the
wife of Robert Bailey. Much of my early data is speculative, but
supposedly the two moved to Knox County from Pickaway County, Ohio,
and before that from Virginia (possibly Hardy County in what is now
West Virginia). They may have had six children:
Nancy Ellen, Noah, John T., Lucinda, Adam, and James Alvin.
These Bailey children have been well-researched and ended up mostly in
Missouri and Indiana. My line is the following:
Robert & Maria (Coonrod) Bailey -> John T. Bailey -> James E. Bailey -
John C. Bailey -> Clarence Emmet Bailey -> Joe Bailey -> me.
Coonrod is a much less common name than Bailey so there is a
reasonable chance that your Coonrods are related to my Marie. I would
be very interested in any further data you uncover.
