By 1850, the family was in Rochester, Andrew Co., MO. Known children were Charles (b ca 1847), Mary (b ca 1845), George W. (1852-1870) and Martha (1855-1932). Martha married Henry Baker who may have been her cousin. Her death certificate lists father as "Abasson Baker" and mother "_________ Vasstanburg"; each were born in NY. James Baker (1816-1882) was possibly brother to Absalom. James' wife was Mary A. (1820-1904). James, Mary, Absalom, Lydia as well as several other Bakers were buried at Rochester Cemetery near Helena, Missouri. I am trying to link my 4th gr grandmother, Lois McCurry, to these Bakers. Any help appreciated. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
