Deborah, Are you a subscriber to any of the Rootsweb.com email lists? If not, you might want to join the SCRoots-L and the SCSumter-L groups in particular. There is also a new Coker-L group you might want to check out. I don't know, but I would expect there is also a Baker-L group. Here is some quick info I have readily at hand on a few Bakers in Sumter District, South Carolina. I'll try to remember to let you know if I come across more. I usually post information on the lists mentioned above. If you're on them, you should see my posts from time to time. Jane E. Baker estate papers Bundle 177, package 31 filed May 9, 1885 Thomas F.
