2 Eliphalet BAILEY2,3,4,5 (1799-1873) [9006]. Born 30 Apr 1799.3 Marr Mary Ann BALDWIN 10 Apr 1823, Merridan, New Haven, CT.1,4 Died 10 Apr 1873.1

Ancestry.com OneWorldTree shows that Eliphalet died in 1823, an obvious error. Since he is shown in an 1870 but not in the 1880 census, we believe the year of death could be 1873.

From Crook; An American Family, 1698-1955 compiled by Charles Henry Leavitt, 1956.

9. viii. EUNICE CROOK (Thomas) was born December 12, 1732 in Nantucket, Massachusetts, where she lived until her family moved in 1743 to Haddam, Connecticut. She was married in Haddam, on her seventeenth birthday, December 14, 1749 to Stephen, son of Ephraim and Deborah (Brainerd) Bailey of Haddam. He was a brother of her sister Elizabeth's husband and a cousin of her sister Lydia's husband. The homesteads of the Crook and Bailey families were closely situated in the northern part of the township, and this fact may account for their common interests and marriages.

5 Rebecca SMITH3 ( - ) [9003].

Ancestry.com OneWorldTree lists the mother of Eliphalet as Rebecca Smith. The Crook genealogy report shows Anna?

3 Mary Ann BALDWIN1,2,4,5 (1801- ) [9012]. Born 20 Feb 1801, Meriden, CT.1

The Connecticut Town Marriage Records show her as Maria and one census reports Mary and another Mary Ann.
