Upon checking, I found on Ancestry.com, descendancy work of a David BAKER at: [email protected] He says that Gideon BAKER was b. 1 Feb 1857 in Wooton (which was in Perry Co.) but is now Leslie Co. His parents were: Wilson BAKER, b. 1822 in Pales Creek, Perry Co. and his mother was: Elizabeth COMBS, b. 1826 in Perry Co. Dicy Jane EDWARDS is shown b. 1858 in Perry Co also. You might want to check further with him. Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA
