Didn't realize I had typed these up for someone else on the list some time back. These are notes from original deeds in my possession and I believe they cover some of the Bakers mentioned. Some of these deeds are repeats of the ones that Betty mentioned and some are later. Half of this land is still in the possession of my family but the other half was sold a couple of years ago. It is not far from Langs Crossroads. THere was an old Baker Cemetery on the property with no stones. Unfortunately the cemetery is no longer in existence. Martha BAKER - PITT Co 1. J. H.
