Bailey- and Steele-related genealogies concur that he is buried in Middle Octorara, as are his grandparents Robert and Margaret McDill Bailey and his infant brother Jacob Bailey.

His wife Lydia R. Steele Bailey took over her prominent father-in-law Francis Bailey's printing business after her husband, this Robert, died. She and her father-in-law are buried in Philadelphia. Her mother-in-law, this Robert's mother Eleanor Miller Bailey, and several of Francis and Eleanor's children, this Robert's adult siblings, moved to and are buried in greater Cincinnati and Champaign County, Ohio.

Eleanor Miller was the daughter of James and Jane(t) Campbell Miller, and has siblings John and Jane, who each died in their 20s, buried in this same cemetery.

Miller-side genealogy indicates that Eleanor was a niece of Colerain Township Justice of the Peace Joseph Miller Esq. Miller's daughter Jane married Nathan Thompson, whose brother Col. James Thompson married Lydia Bailey, sister of this Robert's father Francis Bailey.

(Joseph Miller and wife Rachel Creswell/Criswell Miller might, in fact, might also be buried in this cemetery, but so far, no records or early-era genealogy reports including that claim have surfaced.)
