Thomas Vester Baker (1831 - 1908)

Ollie Osborn was my g.g.g.grandmother....Ollie, Julina Baker Meade, Victoria Meade Stepp, Willa Marie Nye, V Nye McGlone, then me...G. McGlone Hastings. It's interesting that Ollie is never mentioned as being Native American, my g.grandmother Victoria told me numerous stories about Ollie, we also have a photo of her. She had an interesting sad life. Julina died due to childbirth complications, which left my great grandma to care for the younger siblings. Unfortunate for so many during this time. Thank you JJ for the information!
