I was searching the census on ancestry for my children's 2nd, 3rd and 4th
great-grandparents (surnames Burns and Tyler). They were in Grant Co. in 1850 and then
moved to Harrison Co. Missouri by 1860. I decided to look for any other people from
Grant Co on the pages before and after that page. I found on the same page a William M.
Baker. He was in Grant Co. in 1850 and evidently moved to Harrison Co. MO with friends,
family or for the land.

I hope this helps someone researching the Baker family. It is interesting to see how our
ancestors travelled together.
