Children of John Bolin Baker and
Catherine Trosper |
Below are two photos of children of John Bolin/Bolen/Bolling Baker and
Catherine Trosper.
John was the son of Andrew Baker (1765-1842) and Hannah Unknown (surname was
possibly Roberts). Born about 1824 in Knox (now Laurel) County, John is thought
to be the youngest of perhaps 20 children Andrew had with at least wives.
Please see the
Baker DNA Study
page for information on helping sort these Bakers out.
Catherine, born about 1827, was the daughter of James Trosper and Eleanor
Mahan, and sister to
James Trosper, Jr.

Shadrach (Shad) Turner and Talitha Baker.
Shad was born 10 Sep 1848 in Breathitt County, KY; he died Jul 13, 1928, in
Laurel County. Talitha was born to J.B. and Catherine Baker on 5 Apr 1848 in
Laurel and died 6 Apr 1928 in Laurel. Both Shad and Talitha are buried in the
Horse Creek Cemetery in Laurel.

William Z. Baker was born to J.B. and Catherine Baker about 1859 in
either Rockcastle or Laurel, and died in 1933. He was married to the Nancy
Baker pictured her and then to Martha B. Renner, daughter of John W. Renner and
Sidney Arnold. He married Martha in 1890 (there is some speculation that
William and Martha didn't actually marry); she married Lysander Ball in 1895
and then, after Ball's death, married Crit Smith.
