For John Freed........ To: John Freed <fleance@panix.com> Cc: aaaame <lawheel@erols.com> Date: Tuesday, September 19, 2006 6:10 PM Subject: Baker;; Baker Family Cemetery, etc. John, Found an old post of yours from 2000 on MDFR regarding the Baker family which has some members buried at the Oak Orchard location. I am curious about where you obtained the lineage of Henry Baker Sr. Was it from McKinsey's book ? I don't recall a Henry-William relation, though I was perhaps more focused on the Hull relationship when I last read the book. It does appear that William and Adam were brothers, and Henry was their father, but just because they're buried in the same place, and the years click, doesn't make the link, to me anyway - so that's why I'm asking ---- plus I descend from William/John/Andrew. Heck, I can't even assure myself that William is correct. And there are a few other inclusions that I've seen your posting that I haven't seen before, e.g. Henry son of William; Andrew son of William; Joseph son of Wm and Magdalene;; Catherine H. daughter of Wm. and Magdalene. BTW, if you are of this line, I have contacted a resident up on Barnes Road/Oak Orchard, and the cemetery is on his farm. Holdcroft's book did not give an exact location on the diagram he had; and there are two other cems. in that general area. LeRoy Wheeler, Maryland

On September 20, 1737, Charles Carroll of Carrollton was born in Annapolis. He was the only Roman Catholic to sign The Declaration of Independence.

Several days ago, some one places a query about Pius Little of Westminster. His obituary stated that he was never married. The woman who lived with him was his sister, Susan. Susan died in 1906. Pius and Susan are buried with Jacob and Martha. They appear to be the parents. All are buried at Kriders' Church Cemetery, Westminster, Maryland

On September 17, 1861, the Maryland General Assembly reconvened in Frederick at Kemp Hall to take a vote on secession, but no vote was ever taken because several legislators with Southern sympathies were arrested.

Hayes, of the 23rd Ohio Regiment, who would later become President of The United States, arrived in Middletown to comfort and care for her husband, who had been wounded at The Battle of South Mountain.

Shirley, did you check on the web site: http://www.iuparchageology.iup.edu/FoxGap/index.html (which is the citation correcting my original posting on the South Mountain Civil War battle) and its "Project Results" section which leads you to genealogical info re the Wise and other families living in the South Mountain area? Rob Roy Ratliff

Hi Nancy, My Baker line married into the Frantz line (Amaziah).There are at least 2 other researchers out there, they are David Blocher (found on rootsweb worldconnect) and Lorraine Frantz Edwards (was in California). Lorraine put out a book called Frantz Families - Kith & Kin, but I haven't managed to get a copy of that or contact her either. My Baker was born in Myersville, Frederick Co, Md, migrated to Indiana with her parents, where she met and married Amaziah. They then migrated as a family group to Washington, by way of North Dakota. Amaziah's father, John J. Frantz, was born in Ohio, Amaziah was born in Indiana. I didn't track them back past Amaziah's father, but I think the information was already documented by David Blocher.
