Biography*14 Nov 2008 Michael Herndon wrote on 14 Nov 2008 and 25 Nov 2008:
     Via a most circuitous route, I came upon your page on Araminta Culpepper Bailey, (I believe, but am not sure, that her middle name was Caroline) which was of interest to me because I purchased her family home in Thomasville, Georgia from her three daughters after Miss Araminta's death... The two wedding dates to Mr. Bailey accord with what I have always understood, that she and Mr. Bailey married, divorced, and married each other a second time. I can cite no authority, just family talk.
     Miss Araminta was a delightful person, and I hope that someone has kept a record of her amusing, irreverent, and keenly perceptive observations. I lost touch with the daughters, June, Martha, and Josephine ("Babe"), none of whom stayed in Thomasville after marriage. Some of Miss Araminta's Reid cousins (through her mother) still live in Thomasville.
     Here's what little I know about Miss Araminta's children:
     1. June married W. Thad McDaniel. They lived in Jesup, Georgia and had a daughter, Ann. I believe there was another daughter, but don't know for sure. June wrote me years ago that she was going through boxes of memorabilia, had found many photographs and negatives of ancestors and the house I bought from them, and would send me copies once she had the negatives developed, but I didn't hear from her again. The author, Bailey White (actually June Bailey White), is June's namesake and kept in touch with her through the years. She would know about the McDaniel children.
     2. Martha married, first, a Mr. Cardwell. They had a son, J. Thomas Cardwell, who is/was a prominent attorney is Orlando, Florida and a daughter, Nancy. Her second husband was Eugene Underwood, a leading admiralty lawyer in New York City. I don't believe they had children.
     3. Josephine ("Babe") married Arthur C. Hoffman. They lived in Glen Ellyn, Illinois and had a daughter and a son that I know of.6
