From The History of Tioga County, Pennsylvania, 1897.
Clark W. Bailey was born in Tioga Township, Tioga county, January 12, 1806 and was the eldest son of Roswell and Lucinda Bailey. He grew up amidst pioneer surroundings, and attended school in the old-fashioned log school house of early days. When twenty-one years of age he purchased a farm near Whitney's Corners, near Charleston township, and later formed a partnership with R.G. White, erected a large steam saw-mill, and engaged in the lumber business on an extensive scale. In 1857 he removed to Mansfield, where he purchased a grist-mill, and the following year built a water-powered saw-mill, both of which he operated until 1866, when he sold out to his sons, Thomas H. and Justus W. He also owned and operated a foundry in Mansfield, and was one of its most prominent business men for many years. He was instrumental in establishing the Mansfield Seminary, was a liberal supporter of all public enterprises, and an earnest member of the Methodist Episcopal church. On May 13, 1827, Mr. Bailey married Vesta Judd, of Binghampton, New York, to which union were born ten children, as follows. Sara L., Roswell G., Julius M., Wesley V., Thomas H., Emily J., Julia A., Justus W., Clarissa V., and Clark B. Mr. Bailey died at the home of his son, Julius M., December 22, 1881. His widow survives until October 2, 1882, dying at the age of seventy-four years.
From the Tioga Eagle.
December 9, 1846 - "Strayed or Stolen!
From the premises of the subscriber about the first of September last, thirty head of SHEEP, of various marks, some hole in one ear, some slit in the ear, some marked with tar, "J.W." and other marks not recollected, having been purchased of sundry persons, and consequently different marks are upon them. If any person or persons, having taken up said sheep, and will return them to the subscriber, all reasonable charges will be allowed. CLARK W. BAILEY. Charleston, Nov. 25th, 1846."
Researcher note: The next sketch concerns the father of Thomas Bailey, Clark Bailey. We know quite a bit about Clark, too, but there is some useful info here. The list of children conforms pretty much to what we have but does list a son, Chester Bailey. I believe this may be an error as I'm unable to confirm this in any other source. It does, however, list two daughters, but not by name, only by who they married - Julian Langdon and William Hollands. After a good deal of searching, I found that the name Julian Langdon is an error, too. It was actually Ormus Langdon and the Clark Bailey daughter who married Ormus was Julia Bailey. It was Clark's daughter Clarissa Bailey who married William Hollands. We do currently show both Julia and Clarissa as daughters of Clark Bailey.
