Early life

Bailey was born at Mt.Pleasant in Pasquotank County, North Carolina.[3] His parents were Priscilla Elizabeth Brownrigg and John Lancaster Bailey.[2] His father was a member of the North Carolina House and Senate, a North Carolina Superior Court judge.[4][1] In the early 1840s, the family moved to Hillsborough, North Carolina where his father practiced law.[3]

Bailey attended the Bingham School and the Caldwell Institute in Hillsborough, North Carolina.[1][5][2] He attended the University of North Carolina.[5] He studied law under his father.[1]

Career

Bailey received his law license in 1851 and received his license to practice before the North Carolina Supreme Court in January 1852.[1][2][6] He practiced law in Hillsborough with his father.[1][5][3] He was appointed the secretary at the North Carolina Democratic Party at its convention in May 1952.[7]

He became the Attorney General of North Carolina in December 1856, completing an unexpired term.[3] In April 1858, he moved his law practice to Yanceyville, North Carolina, but continued to serve courts in Orange, Alamance and Caswell Counties.[2][8] He was elected the county attorney for Caswell County in 1858.[3] In 1859 or 1860, he moved to Black Mountain, North Carolina with his father and opened the Bailey Law School.[1][9][3] For a time, he joined the faculty of the school but it was primarily his father's venture.[4][1]

On April 24, 1861, Bailey enlisted with the Bethel Regiment, First North Carolina Volunteers as a private.[3] He fought at the Battle of Bethel Church and First Battle of Bull Run.[5][2] Later, he was a judge advocate.[2]

After the war, Bailey practiced law in Salisbury, North Carolina for ten years starting in early 1865.[1][2] He also wanted to start a law school there, advertising that he had thirteen years of experience as a law teacher.[10] He joined Nathaniel Boydon in the firm Boyden and Blackman.[2][3] When Boydon was appointed to the North Carolina Supreme Court, Bailey joined the practice of James M. McCorkle.[2] Governor William Woods Holden appointed Bailey to the position of state code commissioner on August 31, 1871.[1][11] Bailey held this position until the post was eliminated in 1873.[3]

In the fall of 1874, Bailey moved to Charlotte, North Carolina and practiced law with William Marcus Shipp.[4][1][2] Shipp had just finished his term as North Carolina Attorney General and was a North Carolina Superior Court judge.[2] Bailey formed a law partnership with former governor and United States Senator Zebulon Vance.Vance in June 1881.[12] In 1882, Bailey was elected to the North Carolina House of Representatives for Mecklenburg County as a Democrat in 1882.[2][13][3] While in the legislature, he chaired the judiciary committee.[2]

Bailey wrote several books, including The Effect of Civil War upon the Rights of Persons and Property and Conflict of Judicial Decisions.[14] He received an honorary Doctor of Law degree in 1885 from Rutherford College.[3]

Personal life

Bailey married Anne Chamberlain Howerton of Hillsborough on October 20, 1852.[2][15] They had five children, daughter Mrs. Archibald Lingan and sons William Henry Bailey Jr. Edmund H. Bailey, Campbell McCulloh Bailey, and Thomas H. Bailey.[5][2]

He was a Mason and an Episcopalian.[5][3]

In 1890, he retired and moved to Texas where his sons lived; he resided in Seabrook.[5][2][16] On August 17, 1908, Bailey died at his son's home in Seabrook at the age of 77.[5] He was interred in Glenwood Cemetery in Houston, Texas.[5]
