• Notes

  [BaileyNich.FTW] Civil War: Cobb. County Ga., Richmond Hussars Co.,. A Cobb Co. Cavalry. Head of the Confederate Veterans Assoc. of Hamilton County, Fla. for several years in the early 1900's Oscar Warren was one of the older sons of Lewis Bailey and Mariah. While he was born in Somers, New York and shows up on each census where he should be, he became one of the "yankees" in Fairfax County and always admitted to being born in New York until after the Civil War. After that he told the census takers that he was born in Virginia and I've heard that he was at least a true Confederate until the day he died. He lived in Alexandria, Virginia after he married and left his father's house. At some point, perhaps after the war broke out, he came down to Georgia and joined a regiment near Augusta. I have never found him on a Georgia census, however. Interestingly enough, he must have visited Jasper and then moved down to Volusia Co. where he raised citrus before he finally moved his family back to Jasper, living on the "evergreen farm" He was a justice of the peace and acted as sheriff from time to time. His first wife, Mary Louise Young, died there. He then married his wife's, sister, Elouise, the widow of Mr. Wesson. By this time he was quite elderly. Unfortunately, he outlived all his children, according to the Jasper news. Grandma Bailey (Blanche) told me once what a fine man he had been and how he had told her a Civil War story of how (even though he was a good, Christian man), had been reduced to stealing a rabbit to cook and share with his fellow Confederate Soldiers during that war because towards the end they were all cold and starving. He never got over the dishonesty of that act. Oscar's children on the 1870 Alexandria Va. U.S. Census list the following children: Fanny E. 12..........1858 born Virginia Norman 9..........1861 born Georgia. Amelia 6.......... 1864 born Georgia Maria 4..........1866 born Virginia....Ga. on the 1885 Fla. Cen. Louis 1..........1869 born Virginia....Ga. on the 1885 Fla. Cen.
