Sounds like Penelope to me. Baker can be found in some Virginia Indian families.

I agree Linda, I’m thinking Penelope also. Remember, the English language was of Old English during this time frame and about to go through the transition into the New English. And alot of times, the people writing the information went phonetically and butchered a many of names.

thanks, and I do think it is probably penelope. There is said to be either cherokee or blackfoot in my family but have not been able to find any related Indian info. So I will keep trying. Thanks again for your replys….Sandy

Hopefully, you’ll be able to find some considered beliefs on the Blackfoot ID here.
