While vacationing in Bermuda in 2005, LaFonda and Quincy discovered a piece of our family history. We had the pleasure of speaking with Ann Bailey, Marita Bailey Thompson and Edward P. Bailey, who turned out to be our relatives living on the Bermuda island in the village of Somerset, a northwest region located in Sandys Parish. They shared the story of how the family once lived in Antigua. However, some of the Bailey brothers left there and moved to Bermuda, while others settled on the eastern shore of Virginia. When they referred to the specific region of Virgina, I knew there was a connection between us. Besides, they exhibited that laugh out loud Bailey quality. During our meeting in 2005, Marita Bailey Thompson was the Bermuda Postmaster General and absolutely does not do e-mail. Today, Edward Bailey is a Judge in the Bermuda courts, as well as an attorney with Edward P. Bailey & Associates in Hamilton, Bermuda. I look forward to the day that we can all come together for a family gathering.
