The Baker Family Tree

This tree represents a very small portion of the Trigg County, Ky Baker family. Just enough for those Bakers searching for their Cunningham roots or vice versa. Will add a link to a more fully documented Baker tree as soon as I find one. If you have a Baker site that includes Thomas Lawrence, please let me know!
