Does anyone know if Larkin and Issac P. Baker are brothers. They are on the 1860 Sullivan CO, Mo census next door to each other and are both born in TN.
They were both also in Rockcastle co, Ky at the same time. The following bio for Larkin Baker list his father as Joel Baker. Isaac named a son Joel. I don't have anything more than the census-Locations and birthplace to tie them at this point. The following is a bio for Larkin Baker from the:
