Biography

D/o Abner Bailey and Dorcas Jobe. She married her cousin.

1860's -During the lawless time after the civil war, renegades were raiding Oregon Co., and found that Jacob had a fifty cent gold piece. Jacob fought to keep his gold piece but the raiders robbed him and hung him to a tree. The renegades left in a hurry. Mary came out of the root shelter and cut the rope. Although he had rope marks around his neck, he lived for more than 30 years.
