Bailey moved to Northern Virginia in 1837 from Westchester County, New York, and, on December 19, 1837, bought the land at the intersection of Leesburg Pike and Columbia Pike in Fairfax County, Virginia just outside Falls Church, Virginia, that land now known as Bailey's Crossroads. 44
http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~dav4is/people/BAIL897.htm BAILEY, Hachaliah [1774-1845] -- American circus pioneer In 1808, while residing in Somers, New York, Bailey purchased an African elephant for $1,000 and named it "Old Bet." Old Bet appears to be one of the first elephants brought to the United States; she had previously been on exhibit in Boston in 1804, but Bailey found her for sale four years later in a New York City cattle market. Bailey originally planned to use Old Bet as a draught animal on his farm, but she attracted so much attention that he decided to found a travelling menagerie instead. He started out to show Old Bet with a wagon of hay, a horse to draw it, and an assistant. The admission fee for an entire family was either a coin or a 2-gallon jug of rum. In 1808, Hachaliah Bailey rented two-thirds of Old Bet to Benjamin Lent and Andrew Brown, who also had a right to display her. On July 24, 1816, Old Bet was killed while on tour near Alfred, Maine by a farmer who thought it sinful for poor people to waste money on a travelling circus, and Bailey memoralized her in 1825 with a statue and the Elephant Hotel in Somers, New York. P. T. Barnum, not often cited for his honesty, nevertheless made an accurate statement when he called Hach Bailey the father of the American circus. http://www.roadsideamerica.com/pet/oldbet.html Old Bet - Died 1816 - Somers, New York The oldest elephant memorial in America belongs, fittingly, to one the first elephants brought to America. This was Old Bet, since ennobled as "the mother of America's carnival business." Old Bet was an African elephant who arrived in Boston in 1804. She was then known as Betty, and was being exhibited in Beantown when she was spotted by a farmer named Hachaliah Bailey, who apparently was smitten. Imagine his shock when, four years later, he stumbled across her for sale in one of New York City's cattle markets. Hachaliah, who saw Old Bet as something more than three tons of ambulatory meat, bought the elephant and brought her back to his home town of Somers. He figured that he could charge his neighbors for a peek. Hachaliah was right. Old Bet was a hit. Within a few years Hachaliah had become much less a farmer and much more a circus showman, showcasing a ragged menagerie of animals that included a trained dog, several pigs, a horse, and Old Bet, who obviously was the main draw. The Elephant Hotel today provides municipal offices for the town. Old Bet's monument is a well-known local landmark, but bears no explanatory plaque or inscription. Hachaliah decided to take his animals on the road in search of greater profits. It proved to be a fateful decision for Old Bet. On July 24 1816, while on tour near Alfred, ME, she was shot and killed. The angry farmer who murdered her thought that it was sinful for poor people to spend money to see an elephant. On the third floor of the Elephant Hotel visitors can check out the Museum of the Early American Circus, devoted to the story of Hachaliah Bailey, Old Bet and the beginnings of the circus in America. Old Bet is buried along Route 4 in Alfred, Maine. http://www.roadsideamerica.com/pet/littlebet.html Little Bett -Died 1826 - Chepachet, Rhode Island Hachaliah Bailey's interest in touring elephants did not end with Old Bet. Nor did his bad luck. He acquired a second elephant, Little Bett, who quickly replaced Old Bet in his pachyderm pantheon. But Hachaliah hadn't learned to stay out of Puritan New England, and it was there that, once again, tragedy 45
