Mourning Dove was by family folklore at least part Native American. She was said to be as beautiful a woman as ever walked and intelligent. There wasn't anything she didn't know how to do. She could weave a basket so tight as to carry water in and not a drop would leak out. She could prepare the deer meat to eat. She was a slender woman, her black hair hung to her waist. She was always smiling, even in her eyes. She and Solomon loved each other very much.
===
Solomon and Mourning Dove's first child, Johanna Baker, born 1804 married Squire Hurst born 1790, had her first child she named him Marshall Calloway Hurst (born 1826).
===
All of Solomon Baker and Mourning Dove's children moved away from the mountains of Ky. with the exception of Johanna-who married Squire Hurst, and her brother John who taught school.
