Researchers note:
"Fannie and first husband Aaron Baldwin appear in the 1860, Kansas Territory, Douglas, Lawrence census. He was born about 1832 They had two daughters - Kate born about 1857 in PA and Clara born about 1859 in Kansas. The "G B Baley" listed in the household is most likely George Roswell Bailey, another child of Benjamin's and "Vestia" is certainly Vesta, also a child of Benjamin's.
The April 2, 1879 Mansfield Advertiser reports Fannie's death. The Beers info, says she died March 26, 1879 in Mansfield, while this reports that she died March 6, 1879 in Cleveland, OH. Looks like the truth is a combination of both. The Michigan Deaths record shows that she died March 26, 1879 in Cleveland, OH.".

The tombstone over his grave in the Dartt settlement cemetery bears the following inscription: Rozel Bailey, Killed by the upsetting of his wagon, Oct. 24, 1840.
At the time of his death he was engaged in hauling heavy castings for his sawmill. The team ran away, while going down hill, upsetting the wagon and crushing him under its load.

On February 11, 1891, being then a resident of Mansfield, she celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of her birth, and lived nearly a year longer."

November 4, 1840 - "It is with feelings of deep regret that we announce the death of Mr. Rozel Bailey, one of the earliest and most respectable inhabitants in this county. As he was returning homewards on the 23d ult. with a two-horse team loaded with heavy iron castings for a saw mill, the horses, in the neighborhood of "Daggett's Hollow" ran off, Mr. Bailey, it seems, was sitting up on the wagon when it broke to pieces, and no doubt was dragged a considerable distance before the horses became disengaged from the fragments of the wreck. The body was taken up a short time after, but the vital spark had fled to Him who gave it.
The remains, on the Monday following, were followed to the grave by a large concourse of citizens who seemed deeply affected by the melancholy catastrophe, which has taken from our society a worthy member and much beloved neighbor."
