Richard Bailey of Chesterfield and Tazewell Counties, Virginia and his Descendants
by Mary Ellen Howe Vol 1
Chapter One - The Early History and the Line of Benjamin
page 1-11
The Appomattox River steadily winds through Chesterfield County, Virginia, on its eventual way to Petersburg and the James River. The part of the river between Chesterfield and Amelia County, and at the mouth of Goode’s Creek, remains largely unchanged and untouched, much the same as it was in the days when James Bailey first came with him family to live there
During the early 1700’s many men patented land in the south-western end of Chesterfield known until 1749 as Henrico County. They settled in the areas known as Skinquarter and Genito. Some of the settlers were RICHARD BELCHER, James Gates, John Goode and John Skelton. These men were neighbors and friends of the Bailey family and touched their lives in many way.
The earliest known record of James Bailey appears in Henrico County, Virginia in John Nash’s Sheriff’s Bond along with John and RICHARD BELCHER:
James Bailey Dr. 1736. 1 Levy. Store debt. Mr Cary’s debt. A bond due. Paid 75 lbs. Tobo. By Jno Pride, Jr. 74 lbs. Tobo. Pd by John Worsham.
John Belshar, Jr. 1 Levy. Clks fee. Store debt. "To Rig’r yr. Son Thos. An item cancelled ‘To yr order to RICHARD BELSHAR – note paid by John Belcher Sr.’"
James Bailey’s three sons were Benjamin, James, Jr., and Richard. The youngest son, Richard, married Elizabeth Anne Belcher. Thus the many descendants of Richard Bailey also carry the Belcher line.
The Bailey family lived in very close proximity to John and RICHARD BELCHER. It can be reasonably assumed that Elizabeth Belcher was the daughter of one of these two men…. In deed book four, page 644 of the Chesterfield County, Virginia records, Isham Belcher sold the land of RICHARD BELCHER deceased and may have been the son of RICHARD BELCHER.
In 1759, James Bailey, Jr. Bought seventy seven acres of land from Peter Daniel. It is described as "adjoining John Skelton’s land on the south side of Skinquarter Road." This land was originally part of a patent of 375 acres granted to RICHARD BELCHER in 1754 and was the first piece of land owned by the Bailey family in Virginia.

The Story of Richard Bailey
Chapter Four - Journey to the Mountains pp 168-190
…In 1762, Richard’s [Bailey] father wrote his will. It was proven in court February, 1764. One month later, in March, Isham Belcher sold the land of RICHARD BELCHER, deceased. …

The Story of Richard Bailey Chapter Four Journey to the Mountains pp 169-190
Richard Bailey (son of number 1)
He was probably born around 1735. It has been previously written that he was born in
Lancastershire, England; however, there is no documented proof of this. His marriage to Elizabeth Anne Belcher 1 would have been recorded in the early Dale Parish records that are missing in Chesterfield County, Virginia.
Chesterfield County, Virginia
On November 1, 1760, Richard purchased one hundred acres of land in the Skinquarter area of Chesterfield County, Virginia. 2 He moved there with his young wife and made enough improvements on the land to double its value in four years [see Chapter One].
A large number of Chesterfield families began to migrate to Bedford County, now Franklin County, Virginia. 3 Isham Belcher (the brother or cousin of Elizabeth) 4 was among this group and purchased land there. 5 In 1762 RICHARD’S father wrote his will. It was proven in court February, 1765. 6 One month later, in March, Isham Belcher sold the land of RICHARD BELCHER, deceased. 7 The following September 29th, RICHARD BAILEY sold his one hundred acres and left with his family for Franklin County, Virginia. 8

Richard Bailey of Chesterfield and Tazewell Counties, Virginia and his Descendants
by Mary Ellen Howe Vol 1
Chapter One - The Early History and the Line of Benjamin
page 1-11
The Appomattox River steadily winds through Chesterfield County, Virginia, on its eventual way to Petersburg and the James River. The part of the river between Chesterfield and Amelia County, and at the mouth of Goode’s Creek, remains largely unchanged and untouched, much the same as it was in the days when James Bailey first came with him family to live there
During the early 1700’s many men patented land in the south-western end of Chesterfield known until 1749 as Henrico County. They settled in the areas known as Skinquarter and Genito. Some of the settlers were RICHARD BELCHER, James Gates, John Goode and John Skelton. These men were neighbors and friends of the Bailey family and touched their lives in many way.
The earliest known record of James Bailey appears in Henrico County, Virginia in John Nash’s Sheriff’s Bond along with John and RICHARD BELCHER:
James Bailey Dr. 1736. 1 Levy. Store debt. Mr Cary’s debt. A bond due. Paid 75 lbs. Tobo. By Jno Pride, Jr. 74 lbs. Tobo. Pd by John Worsham.
John Belshar, Jr. 1 Levy. Clks fee. Store debt. "To Rig’r yr. Son Thos. An item cancelled ‘To yr order to RICHARD BELSHAR – note paid by John Belcher Sr.’"
James Bailey’s three sons were Benjamin, James, Jr., and Richard. The youngest son, Richard, married Elizabeth Anne Belcher. Thus the many descendants of Richard Bailey also carry the Belcher line.
The Bailey family lived in very close proximity to John and RICHARD BELCHER. It can be reasonably assumed that Elizabeth Belcher was the daughter of one of these two men…. In deed book four, page 644 of the Chesterfield County, Virginia records, Isham Belcher sold the land of RICHARD BELCHER deceased and may have been the son of RICHARD BELCHER.
In 1759, James Bailey, Jr. Bought seventy seven acres of land from Peter Daniel. It is described as "adjoining John Skelton’s land on the south side of Skinquarter Road." This land was originally part of a patent of 375 acres granted to RICHARD BELCHER in 1754 and was the first piece of land owned by the Bailey family in Virginia.

Chapter Four - Journey to the Mountains pp 168-190

The Story of Richard Bailey Chapter Four Journey to the Mountains pp 169-190
Richard Bailey (son of number 1)
He was probably born around 1735. It has been previously written that he was born in
Lancastershire, England; however, there is no documented proof of this. His marriage to Elizabeth Anne Belcher 1 would have been recorded in the early Dale Parish records that are missing in Chesterfield County, Virginia.
Chesterfield County, Virginia
On November 1, 1760, Richard purchased one hundred acres of land in the Skinquarter area of Chesterfield County, Virginia. 2 He moved there with his young wife and made enough improvements on the land to double its value in four years [see Chapter One].
A large number of Chesterfield families began to migrate to Bedford County, now Franklin County, Virginia. 3 Isham Belcher (the brother or cousin of Elizabeth) 4 was among this group and purchased land there. 5 In 1762 RICHARD’S father wrote his will. It was proven in court February, 1765. 6 One month later, in March, Isham Belcher sold the land of RICHARD BELCHER, deceased. 7 The following September 29th, RICHARD BAILEY sold his one hundred acres and left with his family for Franklin County, Virginia. 8
