    • An account of William's life is given in 'The Nonconformists' Memorial' - a few facts on this page are gleaned from that, but it can be read with my annotations on this page.

    Vicar 
    • "He was first settled at Tamerton, near Plymouth; but the war breaking out soon after, he was so threatened by the neighbouring cavaliers, that he was forced, under many difficulties, to retire with his family to London by water." (Calamy)
    Church Office Abt 1641  about 15 miles from, London, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    Incumbent 
    • "There [London] he got a good living about fifteen miles from the city, and continued in it a year ..." (Calamy)

    Rector 
    • " ... when he was persuaded by some members of parliament to accept of the sequestered living of Stoke-Flemming, ... There he continued discharging the duties of his office with great fidelity till the Restoration, being generally respected and beloved by the parishioners, and particularly by some of very different sentiments from his own; insomuch that upon the turn of the times, Mr. T. Southcot, a leading man, tho' a high cavalier, would fain have persuaded Mr. Bailey to conform, as the fittest man for that place; and would have engaged, upon that condition, for his continuance in it.
      When his more stated labours were at an end, he did not lead an idle inactive life, but readily assisted his neighbouring brethren till August, 1662. when he was wholly silenced." (Calamy)
    Died 23 Nov 1672  (probably), Stoke Fleming, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • From Calamy - I don't know how he knew this. Nine days before the burial seems an unusually long time, I wonder if 28 had been misread as 23.
