    3. I received today a copy of the will of Dr.John F. Baker of Batavia who died in 1898. The names he mentioned in his will were: his daughter Cynthia A. Weeks, wife of James A. Weeks His daughter Dolly HEWITT, wife of Henry Hewitt his daughter Fanny HARTLEY, wife of Charles W. Hartley his son Dr. John W. Baker and his wife Jennie C. Baker The information I have on Cynthia is she was born about 1843, and is buried in the Quaker Cemetery in Wheatland, NY. She and James Weeks had a daughter Josephine who died/buried on 5 November 1882 aged 3, and a son Vernie B. (writing looks like Vernie) died/buried on 30 August 1868 aged 2 1/2. Big gap in years of birth! Both also buried in Quaker Cemetery in Wheatland. Fanny Baker was born about 1865. Nothing else known about her. Dr. John W. Baker born about 1863. He graduated from Pulte Homeopathic College in Cincinnati in 1887, and was associated in business with his father. Wfe Jennie C. Baker. Nothing known about her. The 1880 Census says Dr. John F. Baker's wife was Phoebe. In the 1850 Census his wife was named as Ann N. It looks as if he had thre wives! If anybody has any connection or knows anything about these families, I would love to hear from you. Marny in Perth, Western Australia.
