 | | BAILEY, Theodorus, senator, born in Dutchess County, New York, 12 October 1758; died in New York City, 6 September 1828. |
 | | The important part actually taken by Bailey was not adequately recognized in the first official account, though Admiral Farragut commended his gallantry and ability in the official report, and sent him to Washington with the dispatches announcing the victory. |
 | | The mistake was afterward rectified by Admiral Farragut, and the correction appended to the report of the secretary of the navy for 1869. |
