General History of CT, Pg. 1797"

Samuel Bailey Sr. had a distinguished military history over many years. He was at the siege of Louisbourg, Nova Scotia 1744-45 under Nathan Whiting. His son Samuel Jr. joined up at age 15 and they served together. Samuel Jr. later served with the CT troops in the NY Provincial Troops in the French and Indian War under Capt. Street Hall; was on the roll 21 Jun 1755. On a roll dated April 4, 1759, we find Samuel Bailey Sr., age 46 from Haddam, CT and Ephraim Bailey, age 18, also from Haddam (his son) enrolled in Capt. Gilbert Potter's Co. of Suffolk, L.I., NY troops

His life up to 1750 seems to have been spent largely or entirely at Haddam, excepting for a few months service in the expedition against Louisburg in 1744-45.
