Elizabeth ROUNDTREE

(Abt 1740 - Bef 1783)

Elizabeth Rountree (c 1740? – by 1783)  Called “my daughter Betsey Bailey” in her father’s will, she had married Callum Bailey on 4 June 1761.29   The marriage bond in Goochland County, dated the previous day, also identifies her as the daughter of William Rountree.  William Rountree’s will left a negro girl to be brought up by Betsy Bailey and delivered to her daughter Molly Bailey when Molly either reached 18 or married.  John Bailey, another grandson was to receive a legacy upon reaching the age of 21.  Callum Bailey’s will, dated 9 August 1783 and proven 8 February 1787 in Albemarle County, mentions a son John Bailey and “thirty Pounds which was left to him by his grandfather Roundtree.”30  No wife is mentioned, Elizabeth evidently being dead.  The will names several children, some of whom appear to be by a wife previous to Elizabeth Rountree:  William, John, Charles, Callum, Ann Perkins, Ann, Mary, Nancy, and Fanny (the latter two the youngest).
