==============================
Very little is known about Bailis Corder in 1995. It is thought the best possibility for his parentage is the will of John Corder, wife Gracy, in Smith Co, Tenn in 1814, which names a son called Bali. This John could be the son of another John, wife Patience, from Fauquier or Culpepper Co. Va, or Caswell Co. NC. Bailis and his wife, Parazade lived in Lincoln and Green Co Kentucky, where some of their children were born, before moving to St. Helena Parish, where Bailis died about 1822. His wife, Paraz ade apparently lived in EBR with her daughter Elizabeth and her husband Ja cob Krumholt after the death of Bailis and in 1844 gave Elizabeth her undivided 1/6 of some property left her by her father Thomas Stone in 1830 in Mercer County, Ky. (Courte sy of Billie Lipscomb of Baton Rouge, a descendant of Elizabeth Krumholt)

John married Mrs. Gracy (..) Corder in 1754 in Fauquier Co, Virginia. Gracy was born in 1735 in Fauquier Co, Virginia; died on 23 Feb 1815 in Smith Co, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Some show her to be Gracy Barker but Barker is an unproven last name.

Name:
Her surname is yet unknown and unproven. This is purely incorrect and unproven, yet alone made up by someone who was paid to do research and made a mistake. Since then individuals continue to use an unproven surname for this woman. I wish everyone to stop using BARKER as her surname! If you can't prove it, don't use it!
http://cordergenealogy.com/PrimaryFamilies.html

Notes:

It is believed that John Corder who was born in Brown Run (present day Fauquier County, Virginia) could have been another son of William & Alice Corder. No proof has been found to date to support this.
This particular John Corder had at least 2 sons. John and James Corder. James married a woman by the name of Mary Felkins 27.May.1797 in Fauquier County, Virginia and died prior to 31.Jul.1835 because his brother John Corder filed for claim for being sole heir of James Corder who became ill.
