Note: Found on ancestry.com has Hiram Jason Edes Bailey born 12 July 1839 in Washington, Sullivan County, New Hampshire died: 24 Feb 1916 in Chittenden, Vermont. Married Samantha A. Wheeler (1841-1925) son of Gilman Bailey (1804-1893) and Sarah Edes (1805-1847) with three children, Elmer B (1861-1929); Florence M. Bailey (1864-1892) and William Allen bailey (1879-1882). Marriage was in Hillsborough, NH 10 August 1860 - from this family tree, there seems to be NO connection to Montgomery or any surrounding Indiana counties but since it was in Chester Peffley's scrapbook, I will include it on both GenWeb sites - PLEASE if you know of any connection, let me know ! THANKS.
