Bayley, Guy Carleton, Poughkeepsie, New York, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey, 1891 March 8

Bayley thanks Seton for his letter and his offer of his pamphlet on the Seton family. He is a son of Richard Bayley, the second son of Dr. Guy Carleton Bayley, the late Archbishop, James Roosevelt Bayley being the oldest son. Guy Carleton Bayley was the son of Richard Bayley by his second wife Charlotte Amelia Barcley . He and his brother are the last of the branch in America. He is anxious to settle the question of origin beyond the power of a muddler like Baird. He is determined to unravel the mystery that seems to surround the personality of William Bayley, father of Dr. Richard and the circumstances of his coming to America. He wrote to Cardinal James Gibbons asking if the family tree the Archbishop had could be found; Gibbons wrote that it could not be found. Bayley would recompense a proper person for a systematic search. :: II-1-c A.L.S. 5pp. 12mo.
