John F. Baker, Jr.

Picture
John F. Baker Jr. has lived his entire life just a few miles from Wessyngton Plantation, a town populated by hundreds of descendants of its slaves. In seventh grade he discovered the story of his ancestors by accident when he saw a photograph of four former slaves in a social studies textbook. Months later he learned that they were his grandmother's paternal grandparents, Emanuel and Henny Washington, who had been enslaved on Wessyngton Plantation. For more than thirty years, he has been using his research to unravel his family history and others.

Whether your family is big or small it is possible to find your roots. We all have a connection to our ancestors. Through extensive historical research John Baker has managed to create groundbreaking research in African American history. He uses historical records to trace ancestry such as Slave bills of sale, Freedmen's Bureau records, church records, death records, birth records, U. S. Census records, Military records, Pension records, Civil War records, Wills, Deeds, Estate records, Plantation records and many others.    Email
