Steve I found a James J. Baker residing in Cottage Grove Pct in 1880. 37 yrs old. Wife Frances M. If this is the right one let me know and I'll send the info. (I don't like to type) Also, there a alot of listings in the 1900 census. I'm subcribed to the 1900 project thru Family tree maker. Could you give me John's wifes' name. There's also quite a few in Pope County.
