Charles Baker

Read more about Eliza Smith and the woman who adopted her, Polly Bollinger, here: Eliza Smith. This is the best page to start reading about Charles' ancestry.

Major Outstanding Questions on the Baker Side

1. The last we saw of Fielden/Felix Baker was the 1880 census in NC. What happened to him? He was fathering children with Laura Smith up until 1897. We have found Felix. Look on his page.
2. Charles Baker had a wife named Lucille J. , born about 1907, whom he married about 1928. She may have died about 1932/3. They appeared in the 1930 census. Where was she born? Where were the married? When did she die? Where is she buried? Where is her death certificate?  I've found the answers to some of these questions. Look on this web page.  But wait!! Now we have found that Charles had a fourth wife - Nell Olive Frazier who he married on 4 Apr 1926.
3. Eliza Smith appears in the 1900 census (Reedville living with George and Alice Miller) and 1920 census (Aloha living with George and Alice Miller). She does not appear in the 1910 census. Where was she that year? Did she go back to NC?
4. Who was Daniel Smith? Did he even exist? Who was the father of Eliza Smith's three children? Here is a page about Daniel.
