Harlan I would be glad to share this data with you and the rest of our
cousins. I will start with Mary Armentha Rape born Aug 10, 1878, died May
29, 1941; she married in 1893, James Irwin Baker born Mar 15, 1872, died Feb
9, 1946. (I was born three days after his funeral.) Mary was also known as
Minnie; her husband was also known as Jim; they had fourteen children; five
of whom died as small children. Their children were: George Palmer Baker
born Feb 17, 1898, died Sep 14, 1971; Mary Jane Baker born Mar 30, 1900,
died Dec 17, 1989; Pearl Baker born Jul 17, 1902, died Feb 10, 1983; Dola
Baker born Jun 4, 1905, died Dec 1, 1982; Rosa Baker born May 28, 1908, died
Mar 3, 2003; Clarence William Baker born Oct 14, 1910, died Feb 16, 2001;

1921, died Aug 20, 2003; Margie Baker born Apr 2, 1921, died Apr 16, 2004.
Minnie had two sets of twins; Dola had a twin brother who lived only a day,
he was not named as far as I can find out; then Margie and Margaret. That
just began the twins in this line. Margie was a twin and had a boy-girl set
of twins; her son Richard has a set of boy twins; Richard's daughter has a
set of twin boys. Pearl had a boy-girl set of grandchildren; Rosa had a
boy-girl set of great grand's; Harvey had a boy-girl set of twin
grandchildren. Margie and Margaret were the only girl twins in the family,
Margie liked that distinction.

1920, died Dec 13, 1975. They had four children:
