Bailie's Party of 1820 Settlers by M.D. Nash
"He was a soldier in the British Army for 19 years, and served in the East Indies under General Lord Lake. He originally applied to emigrate with WILLSON's party, but subsequently joined BAILIE's. His family as entered on WILLSON's party list consisted of his wife and three sons, Charles aged 10, John aged 8 and George aged 4. Although John junior's name was omitted from BAILIE's party list, he evidently emigrated with the rest of the family, as he was in Albany in 1821."
