   I am a Great-Great Granddaughter of Adolph Baham. Adolph was first married to Sarah Bezou Baham and they had a child named Clara Baham who was my grandfather's mother and then Adolph Baham married Rachel Reid and had Charles Baham who was my great grandmother's half brother and Adolph and Rachel also had Odile Baham, Josephine Baham, Cassimie Baham, John Baham, and Brewster Baham. I have a document that my grandfather wrote in 1955 stating this.
