Hello
Byron,
It's been a
while since we've talked. I was looking at the four generations added, and
something rang a bell, about Simon Baker
and the city Faversham, Kent, England. I went on a mad search and found it.
You should
load Volume four of WFT and look at Tree # 2428. When you have done this do a
search for "Thomas Baker" born
abt. 1325. I printed the first 10 generations of descendants so I could relax and take a look. Following is what I found.
Thomas Le
Baker born abt. 1325
Thomas
Baker abt. 1384 Faversham
Simon
"The First" Baker 1415
Faversham, Kent died 1484
John Baker
1431-1454; d. 1539, Tenterden, Kent
Christopher
1465 Tenterden, Kent
George
"The Queens Surgeon" 1540 d. 1612
At this
point it really caught my eye for George was married twice to: Anne (Baker)
French, daughter of Paul French, Rev. The second marriage was to Anne (Baker)
Swayne, daughter of William Swayne.
Son of
George and Anne Swayne:
Alexander
"Kings Surgeon" Baker
Alexander
M. P." Baker
The line
goes on with others. Take a look and let me know what you think. There is too
many names the same, and in the same order. Could there be another link before
we get to our Andrew "Andy" or does
the tree fall short on the total children for George "The Queen's
Surgeon" Baker.
Almost wish
I hadn't found this tonight, for I have to work in the morning.HA!

Th e probate file also shows that a
James Hiett held a note o r notes against the estate and also there was a
receipt fo r $20.00 against a note held by Abraham Lincoln. The signa ture looks like "the"
