Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hampshire/1330 Surname: Baker, Stockwell, Wall, Grenzeback, Edwards, Foudy, Bonham ------------------------- A number of references to this Taggart family appear in "Hampshire Co. Minute Book Abstracts, Vol. I (1788-1802)," compiled by Vicki Horton (Clearfield Co., 1993). One especially pertinent one is this (p. 78) for 20 Feb. 1797: "Lucy Taggart is appointed guardian of John, Ann, Francis, Daniel and Jonathan Taggart orphans of Francis Taggart, dec'd...Page 327." And on p. 92 (16 April 1798): "Lucy Baker late Lucy Taggart and Edward Dyer who were administrators of Francis Taggart dec'd..Page 35." P. 117, 21 Oct. 1800: "Ordered that Patrick Baker and Lucy, his wife late Lucy Taggart...guardian of John Taggart be permitted to bind their said ward to Michael Cole who is to learn him the trade of a hatter. Page 220." A very useful book! I personally am interested in Bakers as I am still trying to find a family for Peregrine Baker of Hampshire Co. (1779-1847).
