I've found information to trace the Bail family back to Peter Baile who was born about 1747 and came to America between 1751 and 1755. Both of his parents died en route, and only he and his sister survived. Unfortunately, we don't know where they came from, though there is speculation that it is either England or Germany. If you e-mail me directly I can give you more detailed information. My e-mail address is bail305@msn.com.
