Hi Bobby, I grew up in Autauga Co., but live in TX now. My great grandparents were from Chilton Co. I have some Bakers in my line, but I don't know any. I met Mr. Little last year in Bibb Co. I sure do wish he would republish some of his books! Are you from Chilton Co.? Carol Bobby Dupree wrote: > > Carol, > Thanks for your reply.
