Daniel Bayley (active 1761-91), succeeded his father, Jospeh Bayley and is one of the few eighteenth-century earthenware potters known. Daniel had lost a finger, and one of the hallmarks of his pottery is the unique manner in which he attached the handles to his jugs, using two fingers as opposed to one finger as the other New England potters did at the time. He exported pottery to St. Johns New Brunswick, Canada and his second wife, Sarah, was the only known 18th century female potter. Lura Woodside Watkins excavated the Bayley kilm site in Newburyport, see her publication "Early New England Potters and Their Wares", Chapter 8: Excavations of the Bayley Sites of 1723-1799, pp. 51-65.
