[1] A Biographical Dictionary of the Maryland Legislature 1635-1789 by Edward C. Papenfuse, et. al., Archives of Maryland Online Vol. 426, 119. He is listed as "Monjoy Baley" living in Frederick County's Lower Potomac Hundred in 1776 here. The original paper record of this is in Box 2, f. 8, p. 1 of the 1776 Maryland Census. Bayly at some points preferred his last name to be spelled "Bayly" and at other points "Bailey" and "Bayley."

[6] A Biographical Dictionary of the Maryland Legislature 1635-1789 by Edward C. Papenfuse, et. al., Archives of Maryland Online Vol. 426, 119. Walter H. Buck, in a letter titled "Bayley (Bailey)" within Notes and Queries section of Maryland Historical Magazine, Vol. 61, September 1946, page 256, asked if Mr. Bayly was related to Pierce Bayley of Loundon County, Virginia. It seems he was related.

The same is the case even when looking at "Lots Westward of Fort Cumberland" or the Military Lots Ledger. Of course, I didn't find the information on "Map of Military Lots assigned to soldiers, Garrett County, Maryland. 1787" hosted by the Western Maryland Digital Library.
