   Edmund Bayly, son of Thomas Bayly and Ann his wife.  He was married
to the daughter of John Upshur, of Northampton.  He was the clerk of
the district and county courts held at Accomac Court House, and was

                             ______

   Sacred to the memory of Col. Thomas M. Bayly, 3d son of Col. Thomas
Bayly and Anne Drummond his wife.  He was born March 26, 1775.  On the
24th of March, 1802, he was married to Margaret P. Cropper, daughter 
of Gen. John Cropper.  On the 21st of Dec., 1826, he was married to
Jane O. Addison, the Widow of Colonel Kendall Addison, and the daughter
of Samuel Coward.  On the 7th of January, 1834, he died.  Devotedly
attached to his country he spent the best years of his life in her
service.  Col. Bayly entered into public life in 1798, and continued
in it, with the intermission of a few years, until 1830, during which
time he discharged the respective duties of a Member of the House of
Delegates of Virginia, of the Senate of Virginia, of the Congress of
the United States, of the late Convention of Virginia which formed her
new Constitution, and of the important session of the Legislature
succeeding it.  Col. Bayly's highest eulogy as a public man is to be
found in the continued confidence of his constituents, which he en-
joyed during all the aggravated times and amid all the mutation of
parties through which he passed.  It is a fact as honourable as
singular in his history that he never lost an election, and very rarely
ever had one closely contested.  Col. Bayly as a politician was ever
found on the side of popular rights.  This monument is erected to his
memory by his widow.
