From the Semi-Weekly Mississippian, Jackson, Miss., Jan. 17, 1860, p. 3:
MARRIED,
In this city, on the evening of the 11th inst., at the residence of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Anna Adams, by the Rev. John Hunter, Dr. P. T. Bailey to Mrs. E. M. Perkins, daughter of the late Judge Adams, both of this place.
[Her first husband was Charles S. Perkins, who died about 1856.]

From The Clarion, Jackson, MS, July 30, 1884:
Death of Mrs. Emeline A. Baley.
Though the death of this accomplished lady was not altogether unlooked for, yet it occurred much sooner than was generally expected. We are here reminded that death claims not only all seasons, but all hours as his. After the exhaustion of that medical skills contribute, and after a painful and protracted illness, Mrs. Baley died last Thursday morning, the 24 inst., about nine o'clock.
She was a daughter of Judge George Adams, a native of Virginia, who came to cast his fortune with the people of Mississippi in 1825, and who afterward became distinguished both at the bar and in the political affairs of this state. Judge Adams had a family of eight children, four daughters and four sons, two of whom, namely, Gen. D.W. Adams, and Gen. Wirt Adams, became distinguished leaders during our late war. Of the daughters, Mrs. Baley was the youngest. Shortly after her birth in Franklin county, Judge Adams came to reside in Jackson, and, having spent nearly her whole life in this community, she was thoroughly identified with its every interest.
On January 11th, 1860, she was united in marriage with Dr. P.T. Baley, one of our eminent physicians, who has toiled faithfully in his laborious profession among us, for thirty years, and who, with his interesting family of four daughters and two sons, has the profound sympathy of all our people in their bereavement.
Mrs. Baley was a lady of high character, and of the most genial social qualities, and, as a consequence, had a large circle of devoted friends who will sadly miss her in the social circle. She was possessed of many eminent qualities of both the head and heart. With a mind unusually bright and original, nature had also gifted her with a heart so full of kindness for her fellow creatures, that she easily fell into sympathy with all around her, whether in their joys or in their sorrows.
She had a liberal hand towards the poor. She was a kind neighbor, a faithful friend, a tender sister, a loving and indulgent mother, and a pure and faithful wife.
In about 1854, she became a member of the Presbyterian church, in which relation she was faithful, and was ever ready with heart and hand to further any good cause, or help in any really religious enterprise. In a reorganization of the Ladies Aid Society of her church, she sent word that she wanted her name enrolled, so that her fellow members might feel that, though she was not there in person, she was in heart.
