Mary A. Baker was the daughter of Charles Wilson and Abbie D (Tripp) Baker, and the sister of Daniel Albert Baker, Carrie Louisa (Baker) Hicks, Arthur W. Baker, and Isabella T. (Baker) Sisson. This makes Mary A. Baker (and the other kids) my first cousin, 3x removed (her grandfather is my gr-gr-gr-grandfather).
Mary A. Baker never married, but took care of her parents in their elder days. In the 1920 & 1930 Fed Census, she is shown to be living with her "cousin" Ann E. Sisson, in Westport, MA...
(Ann Sisson is listed as "cousin" to Mary A. Baker... I have traced back thru the records, and here's how it goes: Ann Elisabeth WING married William W. Sisson, who was the brother of Charles H. Sisson, who married Mary Baker's sister, Isabella T. Baker. I am assuming that the cousin connection comes down from the WING line (Mary's grandmother was Ann WING). If you have access to them, the 1850 US Fed Census for Westport, MA shows Ann E. Wing, age 4, living with her family right next door to Mary Baker's father and grandfather.
So, Ann is not only Mary's "cousin", but she was a "sister-in-law", too.)
In the 1940 census, Mary is living with Emily F SISSON, who is a distant relation to her (4th cousin, once removed).
May you rest in peace, cousin.
