Just to put in two cents, I am also researching Frederick and Washington County Baker's. My line is the one that started (so far) in Harmony. Baker-Leatherman-Moser line. They spread out to cover the Williamsport area as well. Sorry but I don't have a Brooke in there. Thought I would keep the two (so far) threads together in here :) It would be great to see the response from John Freed in here too - hint, hint.

I am researching Brooke Baker (1784-1859) and wife Elizabeth Otto from Frederick County. I have seen a number of Bakers from the area but don't know of a connection between them and Brooke. Would you or anyone else receiving this have Brooke in your Baker research? Thank you.

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.
