Surnames: Baker Horner Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XOH.2ACIB/1735.1885.1889.1891.1.1.2.3 Message Board Post: I am doing research on the Baker family in Indiana for a class assignment and I thought I would share what I know. Ellener Baker(the first wife of Henry Baker) was born Eleanor Horner and is buried Ellen Baker (wife of Henry ) d. 1 Mar 1855. This death explains in part the change of wives to Nancy by the 1860 cnesus. Her surname makes me wonder if Tirzah's parents were scousins. A lot of the Horners lived in Indiana, some in Iowa or Ohio. My other comment is that I have three daughters for Eleanor and Henry Baker, but the second two are too young to be Tirzah's mom and I have no name for the first, so I am no help there. My last thought is that unless you have info to the opposite, keep in mind the fact that Tirzah may be Nancy's biological granddaughter and her mother's maiden name may not have been Baker at all. Just another possibility to add to your equation. Good Luck!!
