RelationshipGrandfather of Howard Louis Bailey.
Name Variation William Augustus Parmalee Bailey was also known as William Parmalee Bailey.6 
Birth*He was born on 18 August, probably in 1867, at Marlborough, Ulster County, New York. His father gave the year 1867 when he submitted various Civil War pension papers. Although other documents give a range of 1865-1869 (see below), I believe this to be the correct year. His brothers' ages were repeatedly given in census enumerations placing them in 1865, 1869, and 1871, respectively. William's marriage certificate to Margaret Martin states that he was 21 on January 23rd, 1887, which would make his birth year 1865. In the 1870 census he was shown as age 2. In the 1875 census, he was shown as age 7, in 1880 he was 12. However, by the 1900 census William stated that he was born in August 1869 and was only 30 years old. Hhis death certificate gives his age as 38, which would put his birth date in 1868.1,2,3,4,6,16,11,17

Notes* (1)There is some indication that Howard Tucker Bailey might have had a sister, and therefore William A.P. Bailey a daughter, named Laura. Howard's birth certificate shows him as the second of his mother's children, but Clarence was born after him. Laura might be the missing child. (2)Family history notes state that William worked for Leroy Shot and Lead Division of Remington Arms Company, leaving a year before he died. I have been unable to find a reference to such a division, or to any Remington division near enough to New York City for daily commuting. The Remington Company reports to me that Unfortunately, about 50 years ago some of those records were destroyed many of which included old personnel records. We regret that we cannot provide you with the information that you are seeking. We are not familiar with the Leroy Division.27,28
