Feb 1854 & Emogene Melissa Baker b.c1857 Laphamville (now Rockford & Sparta), Algoma Township, Kent Co., Michigan. Anna is living with Edward Sweet and his mother Lois(Louise) Sweet in 1860. And Emogene is living with William Sweet family it appears their parents have died. The Sweet's came from Erie Co., Ohio before 1860 to Algoma Township. May have had some connection to Quakers. Anna married c1874 to William George Randles (a Quaker)...and Emogene (known as Melissa) married a Swigart. Think they may be related to the Baker's of Plainfield Township....Can anyone out there help?? or point me to older death and marriage records than the ones that are available on Kent Co. Gen Web site?? Would anything at Rockford Library be worth the trip?? Thank you :)
