(Near Watertown) NY in early 1800s. My Emerson Baker (their brother) was in Watertown area when his two children were born. His wife, Chloe Wright Baker, died in 1834 and is buried in Rodman. I believe that Chloe either had Wright uncles or her sister married Browns who were in area. My line was Emerson's son, Minot who was born 1828 Jefferson Co., NY and moved with his father and brother, and step mom, Dorcus (maybe maiden name Collins) to near Chicago 1840s and Polk Co, Iowa (near Des Moines) in 1850s. I am trying to search down info in Jefferson County, NY but so far am not having great deal of luck. Kathy Jobe omjobe@att.net
