Son of Josiah & Susannah Ballard Bailey. Husband of Rebecca Pearson. They were the parents of nine children: Almedia, Albert A, Eliza, Benjamin F, Esther, Josiah, Moses E, James and Robert. They were married for 13 years when Rebecca passed. Married second to Sarah Prill. They were parents of five children: Thomas Chalkey, Alva, Rebecca Ann, Mary Elizabeth, and Sarah Jane.

James was a well to do Farmer and a beloved Quaker Minister in Ohio, Indiana and Iowa. In 1855 he was acknowledged a minister by New Garden Quarterly Meeting. In 1860 he moved to Iowa, and in Fourth month, 1880, he settled near Hesper, Kansas. He visited all the yearly meetings of this continent, some of them several times, and attended many of their subordinate meetings. His memory of the Scriptures was unusual, and he could quote more or less of nearly every chapter in the Bible. After a sickness of seven months he died in much peace. †

His Siblings on FAG: Almedia #136852587 and Judith #19211114.
