Bailey Washington Jr. (December 12, 1753 – June 14, 1814) was an American planter and legislator who served two terms as a delegate from Stafford County in the Virginia House of Delegates and many years as local justice of the peace.[1]
Bailey Washington Jr. was the third son born to Bailey Washington Sr. and his wife, the former Catherine Storke. His father also served in the Virginia House of Delegates, as well as operated plantations using enslaved labor. His elder brothers Henry Washington (1749–1825), also served in the House of Delegates representing Prince William County but financial troubles prompted moves to Shelbyville, Kentucky and eventually what became Limestone County, Alabama) and William Washington (1752–1810; a war hero who also served in the Virginia General Assembly), although John Washington (b. 1756 probably died as a child). His sisters Elizabeth Washington Storke (1758–c. 1798) and Mary Butler Washington Peyton (1760–1822) married local planters.[2]
