Casterline in NJ and lived in Ithaca, NY, but .. is buried in lottsville cemetary as ... Ruth Casterline mother Anna Bates, Grandmother of Susan Bates who marries ... Isaac Baker. I wonder ... if there is an indirect connection of Baker familys through the Mather geneology? Not a direct Baker connection for us to trace, but it would be a strange connection, none the less. Just a thought as I look at the MATHER name.
