They had three known children: Charles b. 1874, Louis b. 1878, Ida b. 1880. Some of this information found in the 1880 US census on LDS/FAMILY SEARCH, free site....subject: 1880 US CENSUS. In the HONEY GROVE, TX web site: Aunt Mary Baker came to Honey Grove, TX in 1858 with 5 children. Names: Daniel, Lucy, Billie, Tom, Hattie. The article does not give the name of Mary Baker's husband or anything else about her. It says Daniel Baker married a McCleary (could be McClary) Lucy married John W. Lane...she died in 1888. Billie died in the Confederate Army service in Civil War. Tom married Mattie Dial (his name is Thomas Porter Baker b. 1846 TN-her name Martha Dial) Hattie married James Larrison unable to find out anything about Lucy and Hattie...assume they were born in TN like Thomas Porter Baker (Tom above). Honey Grove is in Fannin County, TX. There is a Calvin Baker in Fannin County, TX in "Honey Grove" in the 1860 Fannin County, TX Census. I don't know of any connection to William Bryant Baker b. MO.
