Ok I think I've got a little of the puzzle figured out. I just received Tirzah's
death certificate in the mail.
It lists her father Andrew J Horner and mother Susan J Kissler. The name kissler was hard
to make out,so I'm not sure it's the actual spelling. The last name threw me off
again as Susan is listed in the Baker Family per 1850 census. Which means Susan could
have married once before, the story written was a note on a piece of paper in the bible
written by my great grandmother, in which she couldn't have known possibly the story
of her mother-in-law and written by mistake that Nancy Baker was Tirzah's mother when
in fact it was Tirzah's grandmother.
