Diana,
The following is information that I have accumulated - found on the internet
and other sources and cannot be certain of it's accuracy but it may be
helpful in finding other leads for you. This is the only information that I
have on Abido(?a)n Bailey as my main interest is the Ressler family. I'm
searching for a connection between Jacob Ressler and my ancestor Abraham
Ressler, both lived in Tipton County, IN. I feel that they were related in
some way. Please let me know if you come across any Ressler information.
Thanks, Linda
