Notes |
- Maurice Baker who married Mary Allender 15 Dec 1877, in what may be his second marriage, appears to be living with his wife and child in the home of his mother-in-law on the 1790 census. On the 1810 Census he is shown living five places from the household of Richard Allender (b. 1767) and he is living with 1female (age 26-44) and I female (age 45 +) Tthe younger female must be his wife, Mary, and hth older female could be his mother-in-law, Jane.. There is one slave with them. Mary inherited a slave, Joe, from their Uncle John Day in 1784, so the slave coud be Joe. Living next to Maurice and Mary is their son Alexander Baker (b. 1782) and wife with 2 boys under the age of ten. Maurice is supposedly descended from a Morice Baker who died in the massacre at Jamestown in 1622.
About another Maurice Baker, or could it be the same Maurice?? " Maurice the elder was over 45 in the 1800 census, so he was born in 1754 or before. Maurice the younger, b. 1 Oct 1778, was living at home in 1800, but must have married that year. His bride was Nancy Grimes of Virginia and they were living there in 1801when their son John was born. In 1820 they were in Columbiana Co., Ohio. No census records for 1810 in Ohio, and he does not show up anywhere else, so I can only assume that they were there, and I don't know why that location. Maurice or Morris or Morrice was a family name and there were many of them throughout the family, so it gets tricky." --Jeannette jkwehr@earthlink.net
