Baily (Bailey), John 1643-1697

He was a minister of the gospel in New England (emigrated in 1683), but was born February 24, 1643, near Blackburn, in Lancashire, England, of a very pious mother: who, before he was born, dedicated him unto the service of God. Cotton Mather preached his funeral sermon, which was published.
