I am currently researching my maternal grandfather's family.
There are many Baker lines in the United States with origins from different countries.
My research began with information from family Bibles.
With the help of internet sources, family members, and other Baker researchers ~ the quest continues.
She passed away September 1, 2001 and I have missed her terribly.
She is buried in Memorial Park Cemetery, Enid, Oklahoma.
August 8, 1948 Loretta Mae Baker married Ivan Dale (Chief) Peckham in Enid, Oklahoma.
Her parents were Beulah Mabel Zimmerman 1901-1993 married in 1919 to
Benjamin Franklin Baker 1901-1974
They are buried in Memorial Park Cemetery, Enid, Oklahoma.
My mother's brothers and sister:
Everett Eugene Baker 1921-1944 married in 1940 to Edna Fuller he was killed in WWII
Arlynn Benton Baker 1923-Living married 1942 Ruby Schoonover
Benelea (Benny) Baker 1934-1987 married 1955 Wayne Schwedland
Everett Baker and Benny and Wayne Schwedland are buried in, Memorial Park Cemetery,
Enid, Oklahoma (Garfield County.)
Benjamin Franklin Baker was the youngest child of John M. Baker and Barbara Wagner.
John M. Baker is buried in Collins Cemetery, Okeene, Oklahoma (Blaine County.)
Two of the family Bibles list my great grandmother's name as Barbara Wagner, a third spells the last name Waggner.
There is a Barbara Baker 1865-1901 buried in Collins Cemetery.
I know that my grandfather's mother died when he was young.
The Barbara Baker buried in Collins Cemetery died in 1901, the year my grandfather was born.
Albert Baker
Allen Baker
John Baker
Hester Baker
Ethel Baker
My grandfather's sister Ethel Baker married my grandmother's brother Charles Bennett Zimmerman.
It is believed John Baker settled in Hutchinson, Kansas and Allen Baker near Tulsa, Oklahoma.
I have been unable to find any information about Albert or Hester.
Allen M. Baker was born in October 1827 in New York and died after 1910 in Blaine County Oklahoma. In 1851, he married Mrs. Elizabeth Yinks in Andrew County Missouri. She had three daughters:

Jeanette Baker born about 1953
William W. Baker born 1856

John M. Baker was born March 9, 1857 in Missouri and died October 31, 1921 in Okeene, Blaine County Oklahoma.
Before 1883 he married Barbara Wagner. I believe both are buried in Collins Cemetery, Okeene.
