She was born between the 1880 and 1900 Censuses and was already married and moved away from home in the latter. She didn't file for Social Security and her marriage and death certificates yield nothing. Minnie only appears in the 1900 and 1920 Censuses, and both say her parents were born in AL. She was 4' 10" as an adult, had straight, strawberry blonde hair and hazel eyes, and was allegedly part-Creek Indian. Other stories surrounding her family include an ancestor who lived to be 103, another who had 22 children, and another who wore a tall hat in which he kept his money because he didn't trust the bank with it. I'd like all, if any, replies to this to pertain solely to my question. I don't know the identities of any other relatives besides Minnie's husband's family, the Caldwells, and four of her eleven children. I also don't have any information on other Bakers in the area. Any and all help with this genealogical brick wall would be appreciated. I have a couple of pictures on the computer of her and will be happy to trade any information if wanted.
