Steve, I connect to Edmund Baker through his daughter Almira/Gemima. She married (1) Joseph Dillon and (2) Thomas M. Vaughn. The second marriage took place 1 Jun 1873 in Saline Co. and produced one child (that I'm aware of), Laury E. Vaughn. Almira died 16 Sep 1887 in Eldorado, IL. Almira's marriage to Joseph Dillon produced six children. I have court papers appointing her as their guardian in 1873, after Joseph's death. At least one of the children later sued her for mishandling the estate. I also have her estate papers, filed by Thomas Vaughn. James Baker, b 1840, served in the same regiment during the Civil War as Joseph Dillon. I have a copy of the Muster and Descriptive Roll of Company F, Sixth Cavalry Rgt. of IL Volunteers. It shows James as married, age 21, 6'1" tall. Melinda Hult
