I understand that Marilyns father was called Jack, not Charley. It is my understanding that my grandfather (William Matthew Baker) had a twin and his name was Jasper. But, William and his twin was born in Springfield Ill. just north of the Kentucky/Ill line. I know this because my mothers birth certificate states her father was born in Springfield Ill. They moved back to Kentucky 10 years after the twins birth. I lost both my mother and father before I turned 8 and have been looking for both sides of the family since. I found 2 of my cousins on mothers side of the family a couple of months ago in Mississippi. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
