I’m looking for ANY information on the following Baker family. My direct ancestors are the ones with the asterix in front of their names. *George Baker b: abt. 1813 in TN d: btwn 1850-1870 M: Sarah (last name unknown) b: abt. 1824 in TN On the 1850 Census George was living in Castor Township, Stoddard County, Missouri. Based on his children’s ages and birth places, it assume he moved to Stoddard County between 1845 and 1848. Don’t know where in Tennessee he came from. Their children were: *Michael Baker b: abt. 1842 in TN M: Louis (last name unknown) b: abt. 1846 in MO Jane Baker b: abt. 1843 in TN John Baker b: abt. 1845 in TN M: Feb. 16, 1896(I’m not sure but I think this is John’s wife, but not his first) Malinda Jackson Henry Baker b: abt. 1848 in MO Mary Baker b: abt. 1859 in MO Michael Baker and Louisa – The 1870 Census shows them living in Castor Township, Stoddard County, Missouri. They moved around somewhat, living variously in Stoddard County and Clay County, Arkansas. They may also have lived in Dunklin County, Missouri at some point, but have yet to verify this. Their children: Andrew Baker (birth info unknown) John Baker (birth info unknown) Van Baker (birth info unknown, but he lived in Clay County, Arkansas for at least part of his adulthood) Molly Baker (birth info unknown) William Riley Baker b: Jan. 1867 in Arkansas (I believe in Clay County) M: Nov. 11, 1896 in Clay County to Maud Mallard b: Jan. 1875 in TN (no known children for William and Maud) *George Talbert Baker b: Jun. 21, 1869 in Stoddard County, MO d: 1950 in Dunklin Co., MO M: (1st wife) Desdemona Abigail Underwood b: Aug. 2, 1865 d: Dec. 2, 1915 in Clay County, Arkansas M: (2nd wife) Dora Louisa Freeman (nee Baker) b: Dec. 27, 1870 in Greene Co., AR d: Jun. 6, 1944 in Dunklin Co., MO Note on George’s 2nd wife: Dora’s maiden name was Baker, also. This Baker line is related to me, as well, but the two different Baker lines don’t seem to be connected. Her father was John W. Baker and her mother was Frances Pollard. Dora’s first husband was Francis Marion Freeman, whose family lived mostly in Clay County, Arkansas. Their children: Taylor Baker b: Dec. 14, 1890 *Joseph “Jody” Allen Baker b: Mar. 16, 1896 in Missouri and died in 1987 in Campbell, Dunklin Co., Missouri A lot of names, I guess, but hopefully someone can shed some light on the earlier parts of this family. I can’t seem to make any progress on this line. As many as there were in that area, I figure there must be some cousins still around somewhere. Thanks for any help! Randall Baker Nashville, TN
