My father-in-law, Edward Carter Broadway, who is a great grandson of Addison Bailey, told me that Addison left Tennessee and went to Texas because a black man died in the cotton field and Addison was accused of killing him, which he denied. It has been said that the black man cheated on weighing the cotton. Addison took the older children with him who were able to work and left the others with their grandmother Diffey. The Bailey's also lived in Arkansas.
