Joseph BAILEY was born about 1800, possibly in Greene County, NC. He is considered to be the forefather of the Bailey family of Greene County. Due to multiple fires at the Greene County Courthouse over the years, many records were destroyed and any records pertaining to Joseph Bailey and his past were lost.
His parentage is unknown.
At the age of 29, he married Ava WILLIAMS in 1829 in Greene County, NC, and they had the following children:
1. William T. BAILEY, b. 1832
