Baker, d. 1918 in Durham, Durham Co., NC. It lists his father as Harry Baker and his mother as Lizzie Berry. I can find no marriage record for these parents. There was a Lizzie berry listed in the 1860 census living with John Berry in Orange Co., NC, age 20. This would put her about the right age and date for a marriage that would have taken place about that time. Heber was born abt. 1863/65. Does anyone have ANYTHING on these people? This could prove a birth mother to my grandfather who was Heber's brother. My grandfather was born 1861. The only proof that Heber and my grandfather were brothers is that they are listed in the household of Harry Baker and Harriet Baker in the 1870 Franklin Co., NC census. If I can find proof of the marriage above, it would have been between 1860-1865 as Harry Baker married Harriet in 1866. The births of heber and my grandfather, Lawrence, fall within those dates. Thank you in advance. Anne Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
