Son of James Bailey II and Elizabeth Ruggles. Husband of Sarah Goddard. Father of James Bailey IV, Sarah Bailey, Joshua Bailey, Thomas Bailey, Samuel Bailey, Nathaniel Bailey, Daniel Bailey, Sarah Bailey, John Bailey, Daniel Bailey, Mary Bailey and Benjamin Bailey. He was the first installed pastor of the Second Church of Weymouth in Weymouth, Massachusetts.∼"...the General Court appointed a Committee of five to inquire into the matter and ascertain if the Town was able to support two ministers. Opposition to the new precinct gradually subsided and on June 5, 1723 the second precinct was created. The following month the Reverend James Bayley was officially called and accepted the post as the first minister."
Note: James and his son Nathaniel spell their name just as you see here. Nathaniel is in this very cemetery and Sarah (Goddard) Bayley is prob in this cemetery as well. That is prob her grave, face down, next to Nathaniel, or with the grouping that James is with. A few of these stones are missing, broken, stood back up, leaning, and face down.
9 Jan 2014 I am just realizing that this memorial is a duplicate because an earlier memorial was created and the Reverend's last name was changed. I have to keep this memorial with the correct information because it is posted on the Weymouth Historical Society website, and he is well documented by the Town/City of Weymouth with the correct spelling as well. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Also, there is no indication that Sarah (Goddard) Bayley is in any tomb, nor in the field at Central Burying Ground, nor Granary for that matter. If she was, there would be a death or burial date with the tomb information. It is obvious that her stone had been tipped over, gone missing, or possibly destroyed before 1950 when all cemeteries were being researched for Vitals. Her last child was born in Weymouth 1745. The only other likely scenario there would be is the Eliot Burying Ground in Roxbury with her mom, and there is no indication of that.
