Violet Hunter was born in County Tyrone, nine miles from Londonderry, Ireland. When sixteen years old she sailed from Londonderry, and after a long and stormy passage of six weeks, landed in New York, where she remained some two months, then came to Philadelphia by steamboat, thence to her uncle Houston's in Shafferstown, Lebanon Co, by stage, where she arrived October 31, 1818. She remained with her uncle nine months, then came to Lewistown, Mifflin Co, where she resided a short time, doing work in a hotel. From there she went to the Kishacoquillas valley, where she met with Thomas Bailey, to whom she was married on the 31st day of August, 1824.
Violet and Thomas had two daughters and six sons.
