Re: Parents of Isaac Baber

George, I answered you yesterday via a regular e-mail that will follow this message.

Your information about Delilah seems to be the same as ours about Polly as the mother of several of Isaac's children. Perhaps you are the key to a major change to how we look at Isaac Baber's line. My information comes from many sources that are within Isaac's line. Taken most seriously is information compiled by Mrs. Charles G. Baber of Lynchburg, VA. The papers are filed with the University of Virginia. I don't have the full chart, but she seems to show Polly Staton as you see it on my site. If anyone has a copy of this study, I'd appreciate a copy. The chart does show that Polly Staton was his fourth wife and that he didn't have children by wives two and three and that one of them was a MAXEY.

I have a note that the obit of Isaac Baber appeared in the Richmond Inquirer March 21, 1845. If anyone can find it, it may be very useful as well.

The family tree of Isaac Baber is by far the largest file on my website. Any help in correcting any error is always welcome. Perhaps Polly & Delilah are the same person.

George, I don't have a third wife of Isaac. Could you send me what you
know?

About Mildred Hamner, if I remember the story correctly:

In the book by Earl Hamner that was made into the TV program "The Waltons",
he was portrayed as "John Boy Walton" the main charactor. The grandmother's
part in the show was visited by her sister on several occasions. In real
life this sister was Mildred M. Hamner, wife of Isaac Gideon Baber. I
didn't pay attention at the time to see if Isaac Gideon Baber was ever
portrayed in the show or what last name if any was given to Mildred.
