- Lois Nolan (Lois
Darleen Baker, daughter of Willie Josiah and Bessie Edith Baker) and
her husband Charles Nolan have spent many hours researching the Baker
family history over the past years. Among other documents and information,
Lois located a copy of Andrew Baker’s family bible that lists his marriage
and children with names and births. We hope soon to be able to scan
some of Lois' collection of letters, legal documents, etc. for inclusion
in this Web site. As Lois and Charles continue to do research, new facts
and data will also be shown here.
- Oddis Jackson
Baker (Lois' older brother) has assembled and written all of the personal
and historical text on this Web site. Using both Lois' research and
his own, as well as his childhood memories of the Middle Fork Area,
Oddis has woven a fascinating narrative of the Baker family history
that can be read and enjoyed by everyone.
- Bill Baker (William
Albert Baker) is the oldest son of Oddis and Vivian Baker. Bill created
this Web site, and will continue to expand and update it as information
becomes available from family members. He also created the maps
in that section--using online sources such as MapQuest and Terraserver
for reference. (Bill and his son, Clint, are Web designers by profession.
This Baker Family site is located on their server in Memphis, TN. Their
own Web sites are: http://www.bakerdesign.com
and http://www.clintbaker.com
)
- Gloria Baker
(wife of Phillip Lee Baker, youngest son of Oddis Baker) has recently
done considerable research on the Baker family history. Her work has
confirmed much of the existing information, and she has also uncovered
material that could extend the known lineage back significantly. Her
findings are currently being cross-referenced and verified against similar
earlier data and new sources such as the DAR Museum in Washington, DC.
This list will continue to expand as other family members contribute to the growing store of information on this Web site.
