Baker family of Scituate ,RI and Pittston, Me
moog25
I am searching for a pro bably 4th or 5th great grandfather Baker (no first name unfortunately) who was born aug 7, 1797 in Scituate RI, died aug 16, 1864 in Sommerville Ma. His wife (also no first name) was born june 27, 1798 and
died dec 20, 1885. Their daughters Emma, born nov 6, 1838 in Pittston, Me and Celia, born feb 16, 1841 in Pittston Me. Emma's grandchild, Mrs Prevost McCouch, was a biologist, whose husband was a professor at the University of Pa Medical School in 1947. This information was on a card to my great grandfather's sister Aimee Baker of Appleton, Wi from her cousin Rev B Lyman of Bennington Vt. I have been told that my grandfather Ernest Albert Baker, of Appleton, Wi, was the first lawyer in a long line of Methodist Ministers. Unfortunately my searches using this information have turned up nothing.

noggin on 2013-09-18 09:45:06I find it difficult to believe you have the birth and death dates of of these 4x g/parents but do not know there names. I have tried putting in the dates of birth/deaths deaths you give for a Baker with no luck.
So lets try another angle - Emma, born nov 6, 1838 in Me (Maine ?) who did she marry?

moog25 on 2013-09-20 21:40:54Thank you so much for your research. The 1850 census record gives some credence to an old family story that an ancestor, a minister, discovered a child being abused and took her home. This Clara Roberts could be the child in the story. I'll have to see if I can find any further information.
