THE BAYLESS FAMILY
The first authentic record of the BAYLESS, or Bayles, family, was the appearance of a refugee named Bayles at Colchester, England. He is said to have come from the Low Countries; family tradition says that he was a Huguenot and migrated from northern France to escape the death which overtook so many thousands of Huguenots at the massacre of St. Bartholomew on August 24, 1572. The family is also found to have lived in Wales at about the same time.

Quote from Roxie Belle Bayless Black as cited in a letter received from Bill N. Allen Dec. 1995: " The Bayles family immigrated from France to escape the St. Bartholemew's massacre of the Hugenotsabout August 24, 1572, thence to the Low Countries and from there to Colchester, England and from there to Wales for a while....Three brothers, William, John and Samuel Bayles came from England to America together in 1636 on an English ship names "Truelove"."
The name "BAYLESS" Probably relates to "bailiff", a minor official.
The earliest documented ancestor is John Bayles (or Bayley, or Baylie), born in 1617 in the Parish of St. Peters of Mancrofts in Norwich, Norfolk, England. [ One researcher claims that John was born in 1617 in Colchester, England ]. At any rate, he sailed from London to America on June 10, 1635, aboard the "Truelove", on which were his brothers William and Samuel. (Also on board was a John Lake "aged 16" and so Probably too young to have been the John Lake whose Great Granddaughter, Joanna Lake, married John Bayles's Great Grandson Daniel Bayles.) John Bayles was indentured to a man named John or William Wells. The "Truelove" sailed first to Bermuda and then to Boston. Landing in Boston, they settled in New Haven, CT, and in 1639 moved to Southold, Long Island. There is no further information on John until his term with Wells was completed.
According to researcher Howard Green Bayless, "John came from the Parish of St. Peters of Mancrofts in Norwich, Norfolk, ENG. He sailed from London on June 10, 1635. The "Truelove" sailed first to Bermuda and then to Boston. John was an indentured servant to John Wells, the younger son of a wealthy family. John Wells was in Boston in 1635, Lyn in 1638, New Haven in 1639 and in 1640 he came to Southold, Long Island. It is unknown what John Bayles did during these years. "
It has been established that JohnBayles married Rebecca Stillwell in 1641. The records of the First Church show that John lived in Southold, Long Island, prior to 1654. In 1656 John bought property on Town Street, and on 22 Sep 1661 sold a house and land to John Tuthill. By this time Bayles was living in Jamaica, Long Island, where he voted in the Town Meeting in July. From the Town Records of Jamaica, 13 Mar 1662: "It is ordained and agreed by the town that John Bayles shall keep an ordinary in the town of Rusdorpe for the entertaining of strangers, and that he shall forthwith set upon the work to provide for strangers, and to give entertain- ment to such strangers as shall come." [ SOURCE: World Family Tree No. 1197, CD#18, submitted 11/27/1997 ]
Howard Green Bayles, however, states that "because of the lack of records between 1635 and 1654, it cannot be proved with certainty that John Bayles of the "Truelove" is the same John who married Rebecca Stillwell and fathered the American Bayless line of descent. In 1654, church records in Southold show that John Bayles was living there earlier than that date (HGB 1944). He bought a lot in Southold in 1656. On Sept.22, he sold his house and land to John Tuthill. John Bayles had arrived in Jamaica, L.I., by July 14, 1661 when he voted in the Town Meeting. In 1664-5, he was involved in a New Jersey land deal. (This parcel of about 300 square miles may have included a substantial part of Staten Island.) He Probably did not move to NJ but did spend much of this time there. The land deal was a failure. In the years 1668-74 he lived in Setauket (elected Constable in 1672). In 1674 he traded his land in Setauket for land in Jamaica. His will was made but he died on Oct. 18, 1682, before signing it. The will was proved on Dec.13, 1682 in Jamaica, L.I., New York. "
Events in John Bayles' life:

Mar 13, 1662 Licensed to keep an "Ordinary" in Jamaica.
Mar 16, 1662 Along with others was ordered to look for a Minister.

Jan 10 1672 Elected Constable at Setauket.
Apr 22, 1674 While resident of Setauket he traded property with Thomas Biggs for land in Jamaica.

Oct 20, 1682 Deed to son Elias filed.
Dec. 13, 1682 His will was approved, although not signed.
Jan 15 1683: "The probate of the will of John Bayles Deceased and Admicon Granted to rebecca Bayles his widdow and Relict therin named Anthony Brockholls Esqr Commander in Cheife and the Councell of the Province of New York To all to whom this Shall come or may Concerne Greeting Whereas John Bayles Lateof Jameca on Long Island Deceased Did in his lifetime make and Declare and Cause to be put in writing his Last Will and Testamt Intending to signe Seale and Publish and the Same in Usuall forme of Law butt before the Same was Effected Departed this Life Now Know Yee That att a Court of Sessions held a Jameca aforesaid for the North rideing of Yorkshire on Long Island the 13th 14th and 15th Days of December Last Past the said Will hereunto Annexed being produced by Mr. Peter Smith the person who wrott the Same Declaring upon his Corporall Oath that the Same was According to the order and Directions Declared the Same to be his Last Will and Testamt.
