My Baker/Buchanan lines have an oral history of "Native American/American Indian" blood lines. I'm brickwalled with my William Baker and my Great grandparents on my father's side. (after 20 years of searching seriously) In my Carlisle Indian School records (PA) there are some Jennings names: Jennings Gauge, Chippewa Joseph Gauge, Chippewa and this similar: J. Jennings Gouge, Chippewa Joseph Gouge, Chippewa (left this one in case related name) Unknown tribe: Carl Jennings There are BAKER names in this Carlisle Indian School record as well. Don't know if any of this helps you. If I find more for JENNINGS I will let you know. You say they were from Washington Co., PA right? Is your JENNINGS line definately related to the Enoch Baker lines? I'm not connecting yet, but I just saw the data in the BIO I reposted here yesterday. Do you find a William Baker, b. 1814 PA? There are also some African Americans named Jennings in Erie, PA. Jennings is a fairly common name, however. Hope something here helps you, and if you find anything for my William Baker, I'd super appreciate the info! Thanks, Kathie (There is no way I can put all the names in the Surnames tag!)
