I have one page of the listing of the Reid Cem near Mulkeytown. Among the names are:
BAYLESS, Rev. P. 20 May 1878, 69y12d
BAYLESS, Lydia (wife of P) 11 Jul 1876, 60y2m12d
I have been studying an early BAYLESS family in Monroe Co, KY. I believe that P BAYLESS above may be Price BAYLESS, the son of Joseph BAYLESS and Sarah MULKEY of Monroe Co,KY. Price BAYLESS was in the Monroe Co 1850 census (with wife Lydia) and their ages are consistent with the tombstone listing above. There is no sign of them in Monroe Co after 1850.
