NOTE: 7 August. 1635, Thesis underwritten names are to be transported to Virginia, imbarqued in the GLOBE, of London, Jeremy Blackman, Mr., have been examined by the Minister of Gravesend, of their conformitie and have taken the oaths of
allegiance and supremacies... includes MARGARET BALIE, AGE 20: Ref: Hotten, Original List of Person of Quality, 1600-1700, page 121, 1880, reprinted 1968. See also Nugent, op. cit. 120.
In the Priest file on WFT 7, he indicates that Margaret is the daughter of Lewis Bayly. While I have no proof that this is the line, the following is of interest if the above line is correct. Ref: Adventurers of Purse and Persons, Virginia,
1607-1624/5. 1987, page 472. " Pace Family 2. George Pace was still in minority when, 9/17/1628, as son and heir apparent of Richard Pace, dec'd, he was granted 400 acres within the corporation of James City on the south side of the River on the
plantation called Paces Paine, granted to his father 5 Dec. 1620...100 acres being due for personal adventure of Richard Pace and 300 acres for transportation of LEWIS BAYLY, Richart Irnest, John Skinner, Bennett Pullen, Roger Macker and Ann
Mason, who came in the Marmaduke, 1621. Patent Bk. 1, p. 64." Note - this places him in present day Surry Co., Va in the area where the Rowland family lived for several generations.
John Rowland was executor of the estate of DANIEL BAYLY, who died January 7, 1678. Surry Co., Va Court Records. Was Daniel Margaret's brother ? What is the relationship of Edward BAILEY, who married Mary Rowland, the granddaughter of John Rowland?
