George W. Bailey. Isaac Bailey came to Sutton from Hopkinton about 1813; succeeded Capt. Minot in keeping store at the south Village. His brother, Enoch Bailey, came, and later kept store, and was the only postmaster in town for some years. John Bailey came here from Hopkinton, perhaps about 1830. His son Lewis kept a store for some years in the south Village. Capt. Joshua Bailey was brother to Lewis Bailey, and at different times made Sutton his residence. Captain Joshua Bailey, born in Hopkinton, April 16, 1792, died in Sutton March 4, 1881, married a young lady of Charleston, SC. They had one daughter, Olivia P., who married March 7, 1855, William C. Haynes of Newbury. Resided a short time in Sutton, but chiefly in Washington, DC His first wife, having died, he remained single several years.

Capt Joshua Bailey shipped as cabin boy at the age of thirteen, and before attaining his majority had worked his way up to captain. He was the first captain that ever shipped a crew from Portsmouth, and probably from any other New England port, that consented to accept hot coffee in place of the customary allowance of "grog." He was at one time owner of many vessels, and, as captain, has sailed his ships into almost every port of both cont- inents. In 1873 he bid farewell to his sea-faring life, and thereafter made South Sutton his home. His reminiscences of foreign countries and their people were very entertaining as well as instructive. - Submitted by C.
