Hi Cynthia,
My name is Cynthia Sherwood-McKinney and my grandmother was Mabel Jane Baker-Sherwood. I have a fair bit of information on the Ezard line and a little bit on James Howard Baker. I would love to share and maybe swap stories. I remember your grandmother from when we lived in Massena and she visited. I don't know anything about the family being split up. I do know that my grandmother was very close to her brother Clarence and sister Winnie when we lived in New York. There were lots of family get-togethers and card games. Anyway, I would love to connect with you.
Cindy
