I have no information on either Jane Ayres Baker Philips nor on Geoffrey Baker, her brother, other than their birth dates and the fact they were siblings of my grandfather, Albert Lundy Baker. I have one far-off picture of Albert Lundy Baker and Geoffrey Baker on horses in the Grand Canyon and that's it. I think I may have found Geoffrey's daughter-in-law, Nancy Clowes Baker, but so far, there's been no response to the email I sent her. Many thanks for clearing up some of the William Munford - Daniel Baker confusion. I am still wondering why Daniel Baker Baker's middle name was 'Baker'... Can you give me your lineage so I can add you to what I have? How do we exchange family trees, pictures, documents, and other info on this website? Or does this evolve into an email type of conversation? And yes, you both are right - there's seems to be one 'caretaker' each generation. My problem is the more I know, the more questions I have! Merry Christmas Cuz's! Lundy PS I live in northern Virginia - either of you close by? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

However I do see them connected to the MCROBERT line as well as the LIGON line. The LIGON line connects to the WOODSON line which is well documented. The WOODSON line, of course, connects with the MCROBERT line. I have cousins that are interested in genealogy also. My grandmother shared with us, from the time we were little, and it soon becomes apparent which children are really interested and which ones aren't. Those of us who are become the keepers of the history for the generations that follow. Missouri is definitely in the family tree,though!

Someone in my ancestry of my Grandfather Philips' line must also have been a geneologist, as I have a well-prepared pedigree in ink on vellum, with lines backwards from his generation. I seem to be the only one of my many siblings interested in our history and I very much appreciate your information on my grandmother's McRobert/Baker lines. My father was a Carter. I've traced his line back to the Southeast, with Carters in Alabama and Missouri. Perhaps our lines crossed in Missouri, as well...

The two of you have illuminated many mysteries in my family tree. I had always suspected that Susan John Hartman might be a cousin of Rev. William Munford Baker, as marriage was more common among cousins in that time -- especially among small populations -- but not so close a cousin as she. As you may know, Cordelia Mercy Lundy Baker was the daughter of Jane Susan Ayres Lundy, and cousin to Cordelia Louise Benet and Eleanor Van Vansickle Benet, both childless. Eleanor died in the 1940s and left many family heirlooms of our Derby/Ayres/Lundy line with my grandmother, Jane Ayres Baker Philips. They are now with me. They include belongings of Cordelia Derby Ayres, our 3-greats grandmother. My mother was Cordelia LUNDY Philips! Thank you for this connection and for all the information. I hope we'll continue to share. Katie Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

The use of pronouns can get confusing (not a criticism of the writer; simply of the reading). I believe what was meant was that Rev. Daniel S. BAKER, D.D. (1791-1857) and Rev. Joseph Stevens BAKER (1798-unknown) were half brothers. This relationship is correct. Rev. Daniel S. Baker, D.D. was the son of Second Deacon William BAKER,Jr. and his first wife, Elizabeth (Mary) DUNHAM. Reve. Joseph Stevens BAKER was the son of Second Deacon William BAKER, Jr. and his third wife, Ann STEVENS. Second Deacon William BAKER, Jr. had only one child with his second wife, Mrs. Susanna HORNSBY (I do not have her maiden name). That child was Thomas BAKER. Susanna died 25 Mar 1795; just two months after giving birth to Thomas (30 Jan 1795). Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Rev. Archibald MCROBERT is my 5th great-grandfather. My great-grandmother was a BAKER in this line and I have never heard of a half sibling either. My grandmother (whose mother was the Baker) continued her father's genealogy work (he was a professional genealogist). I have all of the paperwork done of this line and it does not show a half sibling. On a side note, Rev. Archibald MCROBERT is a recognized Patriot with the DAR. The only women who have joined under him, to date, are descendants of William (Will)E. PARHAM (my great-grandfather). The DAR has him erroneously recorded as "McRoberts" To fill in some of the blanks you have: Susan John HARTMAN was born 1834, Virginia, died 1907. Sources include "Bakers in Midway" pg. 13, 14, 18; 1870 U.S. census, Ohio; and records from my grandmother who notes "The record says, 'Wm. Munford Baker, b. 1825 married his cousin, dau. of John Hartman and Susan G. McRobert by name of Susan G. Hartman.' " The Susan G. MCROBERT noted above is the daughter of Theodorick Bland MCROBERT and Agnes Woodson MORTON. I have what I refer to as the "Baker" document written 19 Dec 1936 by Will E. PARHAM. In it he writes, "There were several children born to Wm. Munford Baker and wife, though only one living is Daniel Baker Baker." You have a question mark for th date of death for William Munford Baker, Jr. Based upon Will E. PARHAM's document, he was deceased prior to 19 Dec 1936. Also, you have a birth year of 1862 for William Munford Baker, Jr. According to the book, "Bakers of Midway" (I forgot to note the page) he was born 19 Sep 1864. I have two Joseph BAKER's in my database. One is Joseph Black BAKER b. 4 Apr 1869 who married Mary HARPER. He is the son of William Hartman BAKER. William is the son of Rev. William Munford BAKER, Sr. So this Joseph BAKER is the great-grandson of Rev. Daniel S. BAKER D.D. (1791-1857). The other Joseph BAKER was born in 1762 and is the son of Benjamin BAKER, Sr. (1722-1785) and Elizabeth LAX. Daniel Baker BAKER (1855-1937) who married Elizabeth GOWDY was William Munford BAKER, Jr.'s brother. They were also second cousins via the Theodorick Bland MCROBERT and Agnes Woodson MORTON lineage. Rev. Daniel S. BAKER D.D. and Elizabeth Venable MCROBERT had four sons and three daughters (I have exact dates if you want them): (1)Howard Melancton BAKER, Esq. (1817-1890) (2)Theodora Louis BAKER (1818-1885) m. 1st Mr. SCOTT; m. 2nd, 7 Dec 1856 Henry S. HUGHES (3)Daniel Speece BAKER (10 Dec 1820-19 Aug 1821) (4)Rev. Daniel Sumner BAKER (1823-1900) (5)Rev. William Munford BAKER, Sr. ((1825-1883) (6)Daughter BAKER (Mar 1827-Mar 1827) (7)Agnes Elizabeth BAKER (1829-1840) Daniel Baker BAKER, who married Elizabeth GOWDY, was the son of Rev. William Munford BAKER, SR. not Rev. Daniel Sumner BAKER's son. You are correct that Daniel Baker BAKER and his wife, Elizabeth GOWDY, had a son named William Munford BAKER. He was born in 1890, though, not 1900. Here is the information from his birth certificate: "City of Newton Certificate of Birth Office of the City Clerk, City Hall, Newton Centre. Oct. 2, 1935 I certify that the following is a true copy from the records of births of the City of Newton, County of Middlesex and Commonwealth of Massachusetts: Birth Record No. 495 of 1890, Date of Birth Nov. 20, 1890. Name of Child, William Mumford Baker Color, Sex and Condition (as Twins, ets) White, Male, Single Place of Birth, Centre St. Wd. 7, Newton, Mass. Name of Father and Birthplace, Daniel B. Baker, born Washington, D.C. Maiden Name of Mother and Birthplace, Elizabeth Gowdy, born Zenia, Ohio Residence of Parents, Centre St. Newton, Mass. Occupation of Father, Manufacturer Date of Registry Jan. 1891 Attest: Frank M. Grant (Signed) City Clerk" Note: The copy of the certificate of birth shows William Munford Baker's middle name as Mumford not Munford. Hope this post sorts out some of the issues.

Archibald McRobert is my great x 4 grandfather. His daughter Elizabeth married Rev. Daniel S Baker in 1816. Their son Rev. William Munford Baker (1825 - 1883) married Susan John Hartman, of whom I have no other information. Their son, William Munford Baker, Jr. (1862 - ?) married Cordelia Mercy Lundy (1864 - ?) in 1894. Their son Albert Lundy Baker (1987 - 1955) married Mary Eaton Pray (1898 - 1989). Their son, James Pray Baker (1925 - 1995) married Barbara Reynolds (1926 - 2005). I was born in 1954 - Lundy Baker (Updike). William Munford Baker Jr. and Cordelia Lundy are my great grandparents too, so we are cousins! I am trying to put together a family tree but the several Daniel Bakers are confusing. And now I read that Daniel S. Baker had a half brother, Joseph Baker? Help! I have a few pieces of Cordelia's silver, namely a few teaspoons. I was under the impression that Daniel B Baker (married to Elizabeth Gowdy) was a cousin of William Munford Baker, Jr. I t! hought Rev Daniel S Baker (married to Elizabeth McRobert) had two sons: Rev Daniel Sumner Baker and Rev William Munford Baker. Rev Daniel Sumner Baker had a son Daniel B Baker who married Elizabeth Gowdy (and they had a son William Munford Baker 1900-1935). Rev William Munford Baker had a son William Munford Baker, Jr who married Cordelia Lundy. Any info you have to help clear this up would be wonderful! And does the 'B' in Daniel B.
