I am seeking the names of the parents of Mary Ellen Hicks, b. in KY. on Jan. 1, 1824. She mar. John E. Baker of Garrard Co. on Dec. 9, 1842 in Jessamine Co., KY., so it is likely that she was a dau. of one of the Hicks families in Jessamine. She and John had a farm in Gallatin Co. where they had nine children. In 1864, Union troops were told mistakenly that he had fed a Rebel soldier, and so they made him dig his grave, lined up his children and wife, and shot him. Mary moved with her youngest children to Carroll Co. where she died on Mar. 28, 1892. She is bur. there in Ghent cemetery in Carrollton. Carroll Co.'s records were destroyed in the flood of 1937, so we have no newspapers, no obit, etc. E. Kaspar
