I know it's been a long time since you posted, but I am hoping you might still be getting emails when someone replies to you. It appears that you and I are 2nd cousins. Gloria Jean Baker Forshey is my grandmother, though she and Ethel both are now of Ashland, KY. Also, from what my grandmother has told me, LaVada (as they called her) was not stillborn, but was born with a hole in her heart and lived about a year or so before she finally died (probably less based on the dates you got from the cemetery). Granted neither one of our grandparents were around for this, but I think it is at least true that she was born alive, as my grandmother often tells the story of one of her older sisters (Fern, I think) claiming to have seen angels/heard heavenly music shortly before the baby died. Anyway, just adding the little bit of additional info I have, and wondering if you have turned up anything else about our mutual ancestors since the last time you posted. If so, I would lo! ve to hear about it. Also, don't know if your side of the family ever talked about this, but Sarah Minor (Perry Baker's wife) was supposedly full-blooded Cherokee. I can't confirm tribal affiliation, but my grandma has pictures of her, and she definitely was not white. Not even a little bit. - Kelli Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
