    3. Seeking Mr. Baker 1863 Searching for any information on "Mr. Baker" resident of Jefferson County MS from about 1856 to 1863, and Presbyterian minister in Red Lick to 1863. Can anyone tell me his given name? About 1955 Anabel Power related: "During the summer of 1863, Mr. Baker, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Red Lick, Jefferson County, Mississippi, came to Rodney seeking transportation to the north. He was a Union man at heart and resigned his pastorate to go north." Susan Sillers Darden recorded on 26-May-1856: "It is reported that Charlotte Reed & Mr Baker [the same person?], a young man from the north will be married this morning. Mr Baker has been teaching school at John Collier's for a year; he is very smart, I hope she will do well." [The marriage did not take place. Within a year Charlotte married an 18-yo Mr. Welsh.] Thanks for any assistance Bruce Bruce D. Liddell Birmingham AL BDLiddell@yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
