    3. My ggggg-grandfather, James Baker, was born in VA ca 1766 and died in Mercer or Anderson Co. KY sometime around 1845. He reportedly was a drummer boy during the Revolutionary War, and received a 200-acre land grant for it in Garrard Co. (where he first lived with his father), or in Mercer or in Anderson -- but I haven't personally seen any documentation on this. After searching for James' connubial companion(s) without success for several years, we (some of his other descendants and I) have just received unconfirmed information from another cousin that he married his second wife, Jenny Jameson, in Mercer County KY on Aug 24, 1813. I have a copy of the Ison-Conover "Mercer County Marriage Bonds and Consents, 1811-1830," but can't find anything on James and Jenny. If anyone has anything at all on them, has Mercer Co. marriage records on hand, or would be willing to hop over to Chiles Street before the HHS Library closes for the holidays and check it out, I and quite a few other of James' descendants nationwide (oops, I forgot, there's also been a sizable tribe of them in Chile for 100 years or so) would be most grateful. Thanks much!! And Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!! Birchell Coslow Laramie WY (where it's going to be -15°F tonight!!)
