General Notes: Thomas Bayes and his family moved to Clinton Township then Lucas County
Ohio now Fulton County Ohio. This is the township where I now live and includes part of the
town of Wauseon, Ohio. Governor Lucas commissioned Thomas as the first Justice of the Peace
for Clinton Township. First House of Wauseon was built by Thomas Bayes, southwest of present
Court House in 1835.

Thomas Bayes Jr is given credit for being one of the founders of Wauseon.

Wauseon was founded in 1854 by four young men with an eye towards the future commercial
and industrial growth of this area, and this spirit has continued through 143 years of development.
E. L. Barber and J. H. Sargent, young railway surveyors, knew that a depot would be built along
the right of way west of Delta. In spite of the fact that the depot site wasn't definite, they, along
with Nathnial Leggett and W. Hall, bought 160 acres from Thomas Bayes for $16 an acre. Being
nearly five times what good land was selling for nearby, Mr.Bayes must have thought he had a
good thing. At a time when most main streets were little more than narrow trails, the proprietors
had a 100 ft. wide main street laid out. Even today it can handle most mass transportation. The
east-west streets were named after species of trees found on the townsite, and the north-south
ones were named after famous men. Eight foot sidewalks on the main street are another unusual
feature. Frank H. Reighard1 then a county surveyor, asked E. L. Barber the reason and his answer
was "The merchants wanted room to display their merchandise in front of their buildings.  They
couldn't use the public thoroughfare, so they built their buildings eight feet back of the property
lines."

Thomas married Anna (Mcmillen) WRIGHT? , daughter of Unknown WRIGHT and Unknown ,
about 1797. Anna was born on 31 Mar 1776 and died in 1836 in Holmes, Co. OH, at age 60.

the family reunion article states that Thomas and his brother John BAYES married sisters. John's
2nd wife. Jane McMillin was born in 1800 and her parents too young to have been Anna's
parents. John's first wife was Agnes (Nancy Jane) Wright.
