Sgt. Baker was possibly born in 1836 in German Township, Clark Co, OH. About 1858 he married Isabel (LNU) in Clark County, OH, and they had two chidren.
Edwin Hall and his family homesteaded less than a mile south of the intersection of highways 19 and 46 near Centerville, South Dakota. Their 4th child, Thomas Edwin David "Ted" Hall (b.June 1858 in Clerkenwell, Middlesex, England) married Ida Belle Baker,the 4th child of Justice of the Peace "Squire" Andrew Baker (FAG#45151090) and Martha Jane Simpson.
Hall descendent Dennis Johnson (DJ) found evidence that when Sgt. Baker was 38 years old, he “ran off” with the Hall's first child, 18 year old Edith Emily Elizabeth HALL. (When DJ lived across the street from the University of SD library, he saw microfilm of an article in the Vermillion Standard Newspaper that said a "Sheriff" named Baker had been in Vermillion looking for Andrew T. Baker for "consorting with a blind girl." It said the "Sheriff" went to the Baker residence and was greeted by a woman holding a fireplace poker. The story ended saying Andrew T. Baker was being tracked across the prairie.)
Sgt. Baker married Edith Hall in 1874 in Sioux City, Woodbury County, IA. and they had 7 children:
1-Leonard (never married, buried next to his mother in Riverside Cemetery, Sterling,CO);
2-Rosa Baker (Fell from the wagon and was buried out on the prairie somewhere around eastern Colorado. Family story says that they were traveling with cowboys, who picked wildflowers and arranged them in her hair before they buried her. They put rocks on the grave to mark it but many years later the rocks were not found).
The 1880 Census shows "A." and Edith Baker living in Kansas City (Wyandotte County),KS.
3-Edith Mae (b.22-July-1881 in KS, d.6-Jun-1921)
4-Andrew Baker II (b.25-Sep-1893, d.7-Mar-1959)
5,6 and 7: Myrtle Evelyn; Grace; and Maude (order unk - the 3 younger children died and were buried on the prairie, location unknown.)
