Hello Betty, Jane (& Judy), Thanks for looking for the marriage of Jackson SMITH. I see that he did not marry a BAKER. The reason that I asked was because my ancestor, Jacob BAKER, sold Jackson County property to this Jackson SMITH as early as 1843. My hypothesis was that perhaps SMITH's wife, Nancy, who is mentioned in the property deed, was a BAKER... a daughter of Jacob BAKER. No such luck. I am trying to find some mention of either the sons or the daughters of the Jacob BAKER who was present in Mason & Jackson Co. ca. 1820-1846 (per Census records). I am beginning to think that the children of Jacob BAKER removed to other areas, like Ohio or even KY, at about 1830-1840 and therefore no papertrail in either Mason or Jackson Co. BUT, shouldn't there be some marriages recorded? Any body have any ideas along these lines?

Bette, In the first few pages of the marriage records, covering 1831-about 1850, there are the following Bakers: Benjamin Charles Elijah Eliza James Katherine Mary Wesley Philip Sylvanus (1853) I have all except Philip and Sylvanus in my database. I think. I'd be happy to give you any you're interested in. Betty Bette McIntosh wrote: > Hello Betty, Jane (& Judy), > Thanks for looking for the marriage of Jackson SMITH.

THis info sorta helps me too, because Jackson Smiths sister Lydia Smith Donohue, her step son James Donohue adopted a Baker child from a infant, and this is my great grandmother Mary Baker Womer, I have been hunting for Baker connections forever for her, altho she was b. in 1872 here is at least one Baker connection. thanks.
