I, too, have links with the Bakers and Kiers. My info which is partially supported by pages from an old Baker family bible indicates: Henry Miller Baker married Triphena Wilson Tripp on 9/23/1830 in Schroon, Essex, NY. Their children were Merritt B. Baker, b: 11/2/1831, Reuben S. Baker, b: 10/23/1833, Resolved Melville Baker, b: 9/23/1835, Jason L. Baker, b: 7/11/1837, and Harvey P. Baker, b: 2/18/1840. All were born in Schroon, NY. My information shows that Harvey married Isabella Kier on 11/6/1866. My questions are these: Both Henry and his son, Merritt died within two days of each other in June, 1854. Do you have any information as to the cause of death? My info (not supported by the Family Bible is that Triphena married Duncan Kier. Do you have information on Duncan Kier and the details on the marriage? I show his date of death to be August 15, 1871 but that is all I have on him. I haven't pursued this as my line continues through Tryphena's and Henry's son, Resolved, but I would certainly like to fill in this missing info. and I will be happy to provide any info. that I might have on this family.
