Wife of Charles Baker, Sr.
Daughter of Thomas Alford & Elizabeth Field.
The following is from the History of Randolph & Macon Counties p. 443:
It was away back in 1817 that Charles and Mary Baker, the grandparents of the subject of this sketch, and both of whom were originally from Virginia, came from Kentucky, where their parents, respectively, we're early settlers, and settled three miles south-west of Huntsville, where the grandfather improved a farm. Four years later he removed to a tract of land one mile north-west of this city where he improved another farm on which he lived until his death, which occurred in 1835. All of his family of children, Joseph, Charles, Noah C, Isaac, Elizabeth, and William, each of whom became the head of a family, are now deceased, dying in this county near Huntsville, except Isaac,who now resides near Cairo.
----------
Her grave was noted in an undated newspaper article (thought to be from the late 1800's or early 1900's) as the oldest marked grave in Randolph County, then located on a farm near Randolph Springs. Her present stone is either a replacement stone, or was moved to this cemetery, perhaps by her son, Isaac Baker, also buried here.
From Huntsville Herald Friday, July 7, 1899:
The oldest grave in the county is situated near the Springs, on the farm of Mr. Dunnivent, the inscription is: Mary, wife of Charles Baker, died Feb 22, 1824, aged 60 years. (From Randolph Springs)
