    I am looking for information on Thomas Ewing BAILEY and Martha Alice JESSUP. They settled at Parachute, Co. Their parents may have been at Meeker, Co. Alice's parents were Daniel Jessup and Hanna Sophia Young. They may be buried at Meeker.

    I found Thomas Ewing Bailey and Martha Alice Jessup, with dates and two probable sons, in Battlement Cemetery courtesy of Ms. Judy Crook's excellent index.

    The LDS Family History Center Ancestral File show a bit on Hanna Sophia Young. I have this full information on a floppy disk and would/could upload it as an attachment if you can receive/process this format. Hanna and Daniel were probably born in Waynesville, Warren,Ohio, she 12 Nov 1825.
