They wrote letters to Harriet (Hattie) Baker in Marietta, Ohio. These letters have come through the family to my dad, and he and I are currently transcribing them. I would love to share them with anyone who might be interested. Their children were Ida Baker Starks, Elsie Baker Figge, Cliffton Baker, Charles (Charley) Baker, Eugene Baker, Jennie Maria Baker Valentine, Herbert Baker, Alice Baker, Cora and Cara Baker (twins). Some of the names mentioned in the letters are Marshall Baker, Ann, Delia, Lucius Hoadley, Alma (possibly Sarah's sister). At this time I have 6 of the 12 envelopes transcribed, and the rest will be finished as soon as I can. I have Charles Baker's line back to Benjamin Baker born in 1867. I would love to share any of my info with anyone who is looking! :) Laura Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
