Mary Ann Jane Bailey, a Mormon, was born in Elbert County, Georgia in 1842, and married Douglas Downs Knight 9/29/1863.
'Downs' Knight was a soldier on the roster of Co. B, 15th Georgia Volunteer Infantry, (The Tugalo Blues), during the Civil War, as were several Bailey men.
Given the dates they all joined, and the fact they were all volunteers from Franklin County, it is logical to assume some - or all - of them were somehow related to Mary.
