Descendants of Green Ward Baker

Submitted by Dee Jones in 2005, this is a sub-line within my family (the children of Delora May Baker in generation 3). It has since been proven by y-DNA testing that Robert James “Gunsmith” Baker is not in our lineage, so he is “grayed out” below. Until I get time to check this with the current tree, there may be other names that need to be replaced with the correct ones. –BB
