Baker genealogies show Nestor Baker was born 2 Oct 1793 Ft. Ann, Washington Co., NY, died 16 March 1856 Aurora, Kane, IL; wife Ann/Anna Spaulding/Spalding born 1797, died 26 July 1878 Knox Co., IL.

Lot owner N. Baker. Only intact gravestone is the one for Nelson Baker; see his memorial.

List of lot sales, which seems to date from late 1850's to mid 1870's, shows owner as N. Baker, with no sales date or price (many "sales" recorded are post dated by decades, so likely this lot was in use very early). Two children of Leonidas Baker (#114246489), another son of Nestor, apparently buried at Spring Lake Cemetery, died before that cemetery opened. (Fayette Baker, age 2, born in Illinois, died in Aurora in October 1849, of dysentery, and is listed in the 1850 mortality schedule.) There are several bases and broken off white marble stones in this lot, and a small stone which might have been a footstone.

1850 Census, Aurora, IL, shows household of Nestor Baker: Nestor, 57, Ann, 53, Samuel B., 28, Emeline, 20, Marian D., 18, Charlotte A., 17, and Nelson G., 13, all born in New York.

Samuel Baker married Mary Ann Ward(e), and their family (2 sons and a daughter, Lizza J., age 0) were living in Aurora in 1860 along with Ann & Charlotte Baker. In 1870 S.B, Mary and 2 sons are still in Aurora. In 1880, Samuel, Mary & son Rollin are in Centerville, Lancaster. Nebraska. Samuel's son Emerit E. married Jennie Halline in Henry Co., IL, in 1900.

Charlotte (#11648909) married Peter Innes (#136009151).

Marian Baker married Jonathan/John Vaill, 2 July 1854, Kane Co., IL, and their family lived in Knox Co. along with Anna in 1870.
