==============================
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)
