General Notes: Wife - Helen Elizabeth Waters Bayly

---

from Cambridge, MD

She was tenth in descent from William Bayly and Edward Waters, who arrived in Jamestown in 1610, only two years after its settlement, when it contained but 50 or 60 houses, surrounded by a log palisade, with a population of nearly 500 men, women and children. They came in time to witness and share the starvation that depleted the colony by 400, causing the desertion of the place; only to return again, upon meeting on the river, Lord Delaware, with additional colonists and provisions. The friendship formed during that awful summer, known as the "starving time," was afterward cemented by the inter-marriages of the lineal descendants of William Bayly and Edward Waters. Surviving the Indian massacre of 1622, which extended over 140 miles, destroying 347 persons, Edward Waters was made a member of the General Court, and a commissioner of the district between Southampton and Fox Hill in 1628. His descendant was made Lieutenant Colonel of Nansemond county in 1673. William Bayly's son, Richard, was made captain of the mounted police, organized for the protection against the Indians in 1644.
She was also tenth in descent from Col. Edmund Scarborough, who in 1658 was Colonel of Militia, a member of the Governor's Council and Surveyor General to his Majesty, James II. From these men so prominent in the early history of the colony, came a long line of descendants that gradually moved up the Chesapeake Bay, making their names felt in each generation as soldiers or statesmen
