The people in Tennessee are great! I was in Lebanon, Wilson Co, looking for the Old New Hope Cumberland Presbyterian Church Cemetery. I had street directions, but the cemetery cannot be seen from the street and there are no signs. I stopped at the New Hope Cumberland Presbyterian Church and a very kind gentleman gave me detailed directions - the drive is reinforced with railroad ties, you will see a small pond, there is an old rusty pasture gate, close the gate behind you to keep the cows in, hike up the hill and bear to the right, when you see the steeple from the original church, you are there. We never would have found the cemetery without his directions. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "ken keener" <[email protected]> > Aren't the people of Tennessee great?

I can take a picture of the page and send it to you if you think it is your John Baker. That is all it has about John Baker; German Baker was a pastor at the Methodist church in 1827; Earl Baker was City school superintendent 1939-1946; Howard Baker ran for U.S. Senate in 1940; R.H.Baker was a doctor it states" The War between the States took many Wilson countians into the service of the Confederacy, among them Dr's......................R.H. Baker " .........................next page" Dr Baker interred the Confederate army as a lad of 16 and was twice taken prisoner. The Lebanon Democrat of October 4, 1934, in an obituary of this Watertown physician credited him with starting the first newspaper there. He practiced medicine for a period of 59 years. further stating "Since the war between the states, there have been many notable physicians scattered over the country who had prepared for the profession at great personal sacrifice in the total desolation that followed total war in Tennessee. They became typical of the ' family doctor" of the highest tradition, much loved, often little paid for their services. Virtually all operated some type of business or farming experience to supplement their income. " It has more about Dr. Baker as his father in l! aw was W.L. Waters the same Waters that Watertown was named after. Waters had a store and a grist mill He also owned every store in town a blacksmith shop a grist mill and a saw mill. I can take pictures of the page and email them to you but it is too much to keep trying to type it out. they were very prominent people in Wilson TN Robert Baker was appointed as Assistant Commissioner of Highways. Baker later served as Commissioner under governor Henry Horton William Baker was there before the settlements it says" The next year, 1766, came the party composed of Col. James Smith, Joshua Horton, William Baker and Uriah Stone. the first named got a creek-Smith's fork-named for him and the last , a river, Stone's river. The party explored that river amd most of its tributary creeks." it also says the indians called the river Wariota. William Baker and party was there just after Daniel Boone Thats all about the Baker except a page or two more on the doctor and Water family. Delia

They are buried in the Snider cemetery in the Park. I was so excited when I found them and they actually had stone monuments. There are many people buried there, but they had wooden markers, and we know what happens to those. There are a few stone markers, also. I will attach the pictures. I am going to post the pictures to Find A Grave as soon as I can. Thank you so much!! I am looking forward to hearing from you!

I heard about Buddy Ingram from Louise Kirby Knight but when I looked for him he was off duty. I did make contact with him via email and it was a great find. I am so happy I found him because he already had a picture of my grandmother that died in 1917. It turns out his g grandmother was her sister. I have been looking for years for them and thought I was on the right track but until I actually found someone that already had a picture of her that I have one exactly like it I wasn't sure if I was going in the right direction. By the way I got most of my help from this message board. I love all of the people they are soooooooo helpful. I would like to email you directly and send a copy of my grandmothers picture to you. I would actually like to post a link for it so everyone can see it and see if they know of the family. I have some Snider family and Alsup family in my tree also. Thank you so much

Please share this link on the wilson Tn so I can share the Knight family pictures with others looking for the same family and maybe they can identify some of the people. thank you Delia Jones You're invited to view these photos online at KODAK EASYSHARE Gallery!
