BAKER/TURNER: 20 February 2006. Lois Roensch, my cousin died. I never did hear of her death and would like to have that for my records. We were cousins. Our James Turner born about 1788 in NC married Mary (Polly) Baker, born 1796 and died 1875 here in Douglas Co., MO. I am looking for her parents. In the Turner information that was handed down thru the years it said that her parents were Morris Baker and Rhoda Allen Baker. Since I have been researching the Baker family I was told that her parents were Robert "Julius Bob: Baker and Elizabeth "Liddie" Hammonds. I found in the census of Lynn Co, MO that Rhoda Baker was living with her daughter, Ailey Baker. Are there any of Ailey Baker's descendants still in Lynn County, MO that may help me with this.

CARTER, George M.: 04 April 2008: George Merritt Carter was born in Illinois in 1851.  In 1870, George is with his father, James R. Carter, in Sullivan Co.

My ancestors are buried in the Pleasant Park Cemetery in Carroll County, MO. We are lacking death and burial info on my great-great grandfather's brother Phoecian.

TODD, Maggie Maud:  11 January 2008:  I am looking for birth information on Maggie Maud TODD. Her death cert says she was born on July 2, 1885 in Marceline.  Mother listed as Ellen Riley. Father listed as William Maddox but I think he was a step father as the family says Maggie's last name is TODD. I would appreciate conformation on her parent's names.  1910 census puts her in Colorado, married. Email address: julee.mcconnell@landsend.com
