Save the Date for the Next Reunion
The next Reunion will be Sunday, July 17, 2016 at the Sabino's home in New Albany.
Baker/Kennedy 2015 Reunion
About 25 people attended the Baker/Kennedy Family Reunion July 19, 2015. Guests came from Colorado, Atlanta, Georgia, Illinois, Athens, Ohio, Ashtabula County, Ohio and Central Ohio. The family met at Charles and Charlotte Sabino’s home in New Albany. Special Kennedy family guests were invited this year also. All enjoyed a wonderful meal on the outside patio. The rain held off until the end of the reunion. Members gathered and told fond memories and stories of past family members.
Some favorite memories were of Vernon Baker and his wife Sadie. They lived in Marion in later life and his grandchildren remembered going to the house and always felling welcome. He would make bacon and large pancakes for breakfast and serve them with orange drink. Vernon worked for the railroad all his life and only came back to Marion occasionally. He would bring boxes of fruit and bananas when he came, a new treat. Sadie and the boys lived and worked on the farm when Vernie was gone. They remembered being on the farm and having reunions when the apple orchard was ready for harvest in the fall.
Descendants of Thomas and Rose Baker shared that Rose Schell Baker was raised by William Kerr and Mary Lance Kennedy. The story passed down was that this is how Thomas and Rose met, when she was being raised by his grandparents. Rose’s parents were divorced and the children were given to others to raise. Documents were found this year that Rose attended the one room school, Maple Grove, the closest school to the Kennedy farm.
Sandra Kalas updated us on genealogy and the efforts of Dwight Kennedy who recently joined the Kennedy/Baker family research. They have found the Kennedy’s came from Scotland and possibly are connected to the Culzean Castle in Ary, Scotland. Several members are the family are still researching this and will be traveling to Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania for more evidence. Sandra shared a story of her research in Crawford County. She has stopped at the document center to request a copy of Lydia Baker’s will. The clerk looked in disbelief because women at that time never were allowed to file a will. Lydia’s actual will was found in the records and this meant that Lydia was an important person to have been able to file a will. Sandra also discussed the quilt that Beulah Baker finished for her and how she cherished the quilt.
Several others members discussed memories of their childhood and of great family memories.
The group decided to meet again next year on the 3rd Sunday of July 2016. This will be July 17, 2016. Charlotte offered to host the gathering at her home next year again and would send invitations in the spring. Sharon is posting the day on the Baker Family website.

William Perry Baker, brother of Samuel Baker
From A Standard History of Jasper and Newton
Found at archive.org
A biographical sketch of Samuel Baker's brother, son of Bennager and Mary Houck Baker. The family used to live in Tully Township, Marion County, Ohio and moved to Jasper, County, Indiana is 1852. Published 1916. This is the complete entry.

William Perry Baker. One of the pioneer personalities who gave the strength of their character and their industry to the up building of Jasper County was the late William Perry Baker and the record of his life runs like a thread of honor and integrity through the greater part of Jasper County's history since the time of early settlement. It was not in the conspicuous and abnormal events of the world that he figured, but in the commonplace routine of duty, in the fulfillment of his obligations as a man and citizen, and he deserves an enduring place in this historical record.

One of the pioneer personalities who gave the strength of their character and their industry to the up building of Jasper County was the late William Perry Baker and the record of his life runs like a thread of honor and integrity through the greater part of Jasper County's history since the time of early settlement. It was not in the conspicuous and abnormal events of the world that he figured, but in the commonplace routine of duty, in the fulfillment of his obligations as a man and citizen, and he deserves an enduring place in this historical record.
It
was on Christmas Day, 1913, that William Perry Baker went to his
final reward. He was born on a farm near Bucyrus in Crawford County,
Ohio, August 14, 1838, and had therefore completed three-quarters of
a century of life. His parents were Benajah and Mary (Houck) Baker,
and of their nine children only one is still left. In 1852 the family
moved from Ohio to Jasper County, Indiana. This county was then
sparsely settled, only a comparatively few farms had been broken out
from the wood and the prairies, and all life and customs were still
on a primitive basis. The Baker family were not rich when they came
to Jasper County and their first location was on the farm now owned
by Grantville Moody. Several years later the father acquired land of
his own, and in the more than sixty years since their advent the name
has always stood for solid attainments.
Since
he was fourteen years of age until his death William Perry Baker was
a resident of Jasper County. On May 2, 1856, he married Maria Rees.
He was an exceptionally hard working and industrious man. Both he and
his wife lived exemplary lives and through their frugality
accumulated considerable property. Mr. Baker was on of the
old-fashioned characters now fast passing away. With only limited
schooling, he possessed an unusual fund of good practical sense. His
marked characteristics were his love of home, his industry and
economy, and his rigid and unswerving honesty and his unblemished
character as a man and citizen.
Mrs.
Baker was born May 29, 1844 in Barkley Township of Jasper County, a
member of one of the first pioneer families. Her parents were Major
John and Eliza G (Hogue) Rees, who found a home in Barkley Township
along with or soon after the coming of the very first settlers. Mrs.
Baker grew to womanhood in Jasper County, became one of the early
teachers, and was her husbands valuable aid in many of his business
transactions. She died October 9, 1914. She was a Presbyterian in
early training, but in later life with her husband joined the
Methodist Church.
The
Rees family was a mingled Scotch and Welsh ancestry, and in the
various generation back as far as record goes there was a minister of
the Presbyterian faith in almost regular succession. Eliza G. Hogue,
the mother of Mrs. Baker, was of a family that settled in Virginia,
probably near Richmond, in colonial days, and she herself was a
native of that state. The Houges became extensive planters and slave
owners. Rev. Mr. Hogue, the grandfather of Mrs. Rees, left to each
of his children, among other property, two slaves. For forty years or
more he had charge of one church in old Virginia.
To
Mr. and Mrs. Baker were born two children. The son, Lawrence W., is
now a resident in the West. Vivian, the daughter married Clement
Taylor Boicourt, and is now living in Rensselear, Indiana. She is the
mother of three children: Loren Edward, Hillman Eugene and Frances
Leona. Mrs. Boicourt is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Clement
T. Boicourt was a native of White County, Indiana, born near Wolcott
July 15, 1874. He grew to manhood there and received a practical
education, having been a graduate of the Wolcott High School. He
later entered a dry goods store and continued as a salesman for some
times, and it was while engaged as a clerk that he became acquainted
with Miss Vivian Baker, to whom he was married on the 3rd
of February, 1903. He then engaged in the dry goods business in
Wolcott, thus continuing from 1903 to 1914, and closing out the
business only on account of ill health. Soon after the death of his
father-in-law, William P. Baker, he moved to Rensselaer with his
family, and resided there until his death, May 4, 1915. Mr. Boicourt
was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which he joined when
but ten years of age, and continued as a faithful member. He was a
gentleman of the strictest integrity and honor, and he was held in
the highest esteem by all who knew him, and his friends and
acquaintances were many. At his death he left a father, E. J.
Boicourt, and a step-mother at Wolcott, also a brother at Beach Wood,
Indiana, and his widow and three children.

Ralph Clarence Kennedy, son of Thomas Shanks Kennedy and nephew of Lydia Kennedy Baker
Message from Dwight Kennedy, who submitted the photos.
Ralph Clarence Kennedy, he was the 7th of 9 sons born to Thomas Shank Kennedy and Hester Frances Monnett. Born August 20, 1888, he married Ethel Vira Ford (12/27/1886-4/10/1981). Ralph moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana for some time before he moved out to California. A photo shows him in front of the Auburn Garage with fellow employees (I suppose). I also attached a photo of him with a college friend (apparently while attending college).
He later left Indiana for San Luis Obispo, CA where he was mayor in 1945. Below are several photos of his family, years after the Baker trip to California.

Photos courtesy of Dwight Kennedy, a family member and reader of the Ohio Baker Family website. These are pictures of the 'Big
House' which Thomas Shank Kennedy (brother of Lydia Kennedy Baker) built and they had a picture taken with
the family out front in 1887(not included). Dwight Kennedy found that one at the Crawford Co.
Historical Society along with a long photo of the 1935 Monnett Reunion.
I took a picture in 1985 of the"'Big House" at 2570 Monnette-New Winchester Road on the NE corner of Route 98 and it is attached, said Dwight Kennedy. It was torn down sometime in the early 1990s, so I'm glad I found it when I did. I also found the farm that my great-grandfather Orange Kennedy lived on.
Thomas Shank Kennedy was born in 1848 to William Kerr and Margaret Shanks Kennedy. He married Francis Monnett and 12 children were born to this union. One son was Orange Kennedy born in 1879 that is referred to above and was Dwight's great-grandfather.

Location of the William Kerr Kennedy Home
Below are two pictures from Google that shows the location of the William Kerr Kennedy home. The home burnt down some time ago and none of the original buildings are there anymore. A new garage stands. This home was located in northern Marion County, Ohio in Tully Township. It is located on the corner of Timpson Road and Crawford-Marion Road. Timpson Road turns into Goldsmith Road after you cross the road and enter Crawford County.
 |
| 1878 Marion County map Published by the Marion County Historical Society It is difficult to read but if you go to this exact location on the map you can see W.K. Kennedy's name It is along the northern border, right under the word Crawford where it says Crawford County. I also verified this with some long time residents of the area and the Tully Township Trustees. |
 |
| The road is actually Crawford - Marion Rd. The both roads changes names since it is Marion county on one side and Crawford county on the other. This makes it even more difficult to find unfortunately. |
