Very cool to see you are at the top of the heap on WikiTree, you live 30 minutes from me, and we are 15th cousins (I seem to be around about that with everyone though.) I live in Guthrie if you ever need some research or pics from around this area, just let me know.
I have gobs of new people to add to my 4 sides and look forward to it each day. It's really fun to meet more branches on the tree.

Thank you for the activity on the Baker family. I'm a great-granddaughter of Mike Hunziker and Arrenia Carolina Baker. She went by the nickname Susie. I think Susie Baker's grandfather Samuel Baker was a brother of Basil Caleb Baker Sr. Samuel Baker was born about 1809 in Bedford Co. VA and moved to the area that is now Weakley County, Tennessee by 1840. He was elected to the Tennessee Legislature in 1860 or 61. There is a short biography of him that states he was from Bedford County, VA. Searching in Bedford County, there is a man named Badzel or Basil Baker whose daughters married in Bedford in the 1820's. Anna Baker married Eli Hatcher in Bedford County in 1823. The reason I think Samuel was her brother is that both Eli and Anna were Tennessee in 1830 when they both died in an epidemic. Samuel Baker shows up in Weakley County Tax records as the guardian of the minor heirs of Eli Hatcher. I searched those tax records years over 20 years ago in the Family History Center in Mesa, AZ on microfilm and will have to dig through years of stuff to find the copies and notes. I met Martin Baker and Christina Hunziker's son Newt back in the early 1980's and he was absolutely sure that HIS Baker family and the family of Susie (A.C.) Baker Hunziker were NOT related. Apparently he had not heard good things about that family. However, a Baker cousin (a grandson of Susie's brother John Baker) provided a y-DNA sample before his death and it was a match with another Baker descendant of Basil Caleb Baker. Unfortunately, that was in the early days of y-DNA testing and it's only a 12 marker test.

Mary, granddaughter of Antone Santos Freitas, called Patricio, died 1954, buried with his granddaughter Ramona Freitas in Riverside, CA.
He is in my tree, but his ancestry is unknown. He wasn't Catholic, an interloper when he married Grandma Mary Jacinto in Clarksburg, California.
He may have been Flemmish, but spoke perfect Portuguese. Just a mystery! He may be related to the Alamão family, or da Rosa surnames, or Bettencourt relatives, but it's not clear.
He had a sister in San Diego, but she went by her married name and no one remembers it anymore!
All your work may help me connect Grandpa and his sister to their lineage. Thanks again!
