Shellie--Did any of your families leave in the Gold Rush? I have a missing
Isaac BAKER who left Laporte, IN abt 1851-3 in the gold excitement and was
never heard from again.
Isaac BAKER was on the 1850 Berrien Co., MI, 10th District Census. He was b
1820 OH, a blacksmith. He mar Mary Elizabeth HATFIELD in 1846. They bound
out their children to Richard BUNTING of Cass Co., MI who took them to IA and
raised them.
Any clues would be greatly appreciated.
