COL. JOHN BAKER.
Col. John Baker came from Carolina, and doubtless was related to Rich- ard and William, but how, I am unable to say. The Record speaks of John Baker, Sr., and wife, Sarah, who joined the church in 1763. If this be Col. Baker, then he was married twice, for he afterwards, in 1784, married Mrs. Mary Lapina, who afterwards married Dr. McWhir. Col. John Baker died June 9, 1792.
THE WAY FAMILY.
There were several of these. The church book literally teems with them. Among the original settlers were Samuel, Parmenas, Edward, Nathaniel, Moses, and Andrew. In- deed, so many and so intermarried were they, that at this late day it would be well nigh impossible to trace out the different relationships. The case is very aptly put in the fol- lowing couplet of names, formed, it is said, by Dr. W. P. Mc- Connell in 1843, a year generally known as one of exceeding scarcity and hardness, which I give both as a specimen of Liberty county wit, as well as illustration of the point. Said he :
"We have Hams and Dun-hams, Bacons and Greens,
Manns and Quartermans, Plenty of Ways, but no Means."
The Way family is just as old as numerous. Together with the Sumner's, it is the only one that can be traced di- rectly back to England through the Massachusetts colony.
Henry Way came over from Bristol, England, with Roger Williams, February 8, 1631, and settled in Dorchester, and died in 1667, aged eighty-four years. His wife, Elizabeth, died April 23, 1665, aged eighty-four years. They had three
1. NOTE .- William W. Baker, for many years a Senator from Liberty county and Com- mander of the Liberty Troop, was killed by his horse a few miles from Milledgeville on his way home after the adjournment of the Legislature His remains were taken back to Milledgeville and interred, and the Legislature erected a monument over his grave. He was unmarried.

THE WAY FAMILY.
sons born in England : George, Richard and Aaron, who re- moved with their father. George never left Dorchester, and still has a large number of descendants living in and around Boston. The Carolina and Liberty county Ways descended chiefly from Richard and Aaron, and especially of the latter, of whom we know most.
William Sumner and his wife, Mary, came over from Bur- cester, Oxford county, England, as early as 1637. Among the children born in Dorchester were Increase and Joanna Sumner. Joanna married a Way, who was Aaron, as believed.
In Daniel Axtell's day book, used on the Ashley, we meet with the names of Aaron Way, Sr., Aaron, Jr., Moses, Wil- liam, Sr., and William, Jr. And in the probate court in Charleston we have the will of Moses and William Way. From it all we would make the following genealogical de- scent :
Aaron Way, Sr., married Joanna Sumner.
Children :- Aaron, William, Moses and Samuel.
From William and Perces, his wife, were born William, Jr., and Henry, and daughters Perces, who married a Sumner, and Waitstill, who married an Osgood.
To Moses, who died in Carolina in 1737, and wife, Sarah, were born Par- menas, Stephen, Joseph, Parthena and Sarah.
To Parmenas, among other children, Moses, who was unmarried at the time of the removal to Georgia.
As Moses was an officer in the state troops in the old war, and my own immediate ancestor, I give some of his descend- ants :

THE MCINTOSH FAMILY.
This family was eminently a large and military one, many of them being intimately connected with the Midway people. I give a few of the more prominent members.
John McIntosh Mohr, (or Mhor, as the Highlanders write it, meaning great), was leader of the clan that came over with Oglethorpe from Scotland in
281
THE MCINTOSH FAMILY.
1736. He was taken prisoner by the Spaniards in 1740, and sent to Spain where he remained two years in prison. His wife was Margery Fraser.
FIRST GENERATION.
Children of John Mohr and Margery McIntosh :- 1. William, married Mary McKay. 2. John. 3. Lachlan, the General. 4. George, married daughter of Patrick Houston. 5. Ann, married Robert Baillie, whose granddaughter was the wife of Judge Iverson L. Harris. 6. Barbara.
SECOND GENERATION.
Children of William and Mary McIntosh :- 1. Col. John McIntosh,* of Sunbury fame. 2. Lachlan (Major). 3. Margery, married James Spalding. 4. Hester, married Alexander Baillie.
THIRD GENERATION.
Col. John McIntosh married Sarah Swinton, of South Carolina, and had a son, Major William Jackson McIntosh, who married Maria Hillary, and who was the father of Dr. William H. McIntosh, Baptist minister. Col John McIntosh also had a son, Col. James Simmons McIntosh, who fell mortally wounded in the Mexican war.
Major Lachlan McIntosh, son of Col. William and Mary, was the father of Commodore James McKay Mcintosh, and also the father of Miss Ma- ria McIntosh, the authoress, and also of Mrs. Ann Ward, the mother of llon. John E. Ward.
Hester McIntosh, daughter of William and Mary, married Alexander Baillie. Their only daughter and child, Margery, married John Kell, Jr., son of John Kell, Sr., "planter," and was the mother of Captain John Kell, Adjutant General of the State of Georgia.
FOURTH GENERATION.
Col. James Simmon McIntosh, who fell in Mexico, had two sons, John Baillie McIntosh and James McQueen McIntosh, the former a Federal and the latter a Confederate General. General John Baillie McIntosh lost a leg at the battle of Gettysburg, and General James McQueen McIntosh was killed at Pea Ridge, Arkansas. After his death, his brother sent for his wid- ow and child and had them carried through the lines and kindly cared for them till the close of the war.
There are many other families of whom I would love to give sketches, but both want of time and lack of suitable material within reach would alike debar me from underta- king anything further in this line. Nor yet are the ones given as full as I would like to make them.
* After the close of the Revolutionary war, Col. McIntosh removed to Florida, and was arrested by the Spaniards upon suspicion and sent to Havanna, where he was con- fined as prisoner for one year in Moro Castle.

HISTORY OF MIDWAY. CHURCH.
SOME GENERAL STATEMENTS.
Michael Bacon, of South Carolina, had a son, Thomas, doubtless the father of Samuel and Joseph, who were broth- ers, and from whom the Bacons descended. Rebecca Bacon, who married Thomas Quarterman, Sr., was the daughter of Joseph. Michael Bacon was brother-in-law, both to Wil- liam Way, Jr., and Josiah Osgood I. It was Josiah Osgood II. who removed to Liberty county. Michael Bacon died in 1745.
Benjamin Baker, the son of Thomas, married (1st) Su- sannah Osgood, sister of Rev. John Osgood. Sarah, the first wife of William Baker, Sr., (first deacon) must also have been a sister of Rev. John Osgood, as he speaks in his will about "Sarah and Elizabeth," daughters of Benjamin Baker, as "his neices," i. e., through his wife. So Joanna, wife of John Lupton, must have been another sister, as said Lupton leaves a large share of his estate to his "beloved Su- sanna, daughter of Benjamin Baker."
Samuel Way, early settler, married Rebecca Lupton. Af- ter his death she became the second wife of William Baker, Sr., (1st deacon).
Nathaniel Way married Sarah Dunham, who, after his death, married John Stacy, Sr.
Lydia Saunders was a widow, her maiden name being Andrew. She first married Saunders, and afterwards John Winn, Sr.
William Graves, Moses Way, Thomas Peacock, and John Quarterman, Jr., were unmarried at the time of their remo- val.
There were two Quartermans who died in Carolina, Rob- ert and Thomas, the latter having a son, William, and who, in all probability, were brothers of John Quarterman, Sr. Rebecca Quarterman, of whom William Baker, Sr., was guardian, and who afterwards married William Graves, was doubtless the daughter of one of these.

the only man that went from Liberty county to aid Texas in her struggles with Mexico. People at the time said he "lacked sense," but behold Texas to-day with her three millions of inhabitants!

It is also worthy of special mention that the great state of New York has to day as its chief executive one of the reg- ular descendants of the Midway people, in the person and character of Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, who is the great- grandson of Gen. Daniel Stewart, the writer being also his great grand nephew.
General Daniel Stewart, the brother of Sarah, the writer's great-grandmother, married Susannah Oswald, (all mem- bers of Midway church). Martha Stewart, their daughter, married (1st) United States Senator John Elliott, and (2d) James S. Bullock. Martha Bullock, their daughter, married. Theodore Roosevelt, and the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, their son, is now the Governor of New York.
With the bare mention of this remarkable fact as a befit- ting close to these sketches and this volume, the writer here bids his readers an affectionate adieu !
