I am from North Carolina. My father is Carl Gigee from Tioga County PA. His father was James Gigee. Most of his family still lives in PA. I am interested in also finding more family members.

Dear Michael,
I discovered your message about your Gigee family today. It pleases me gratly to discover someone on the Gigee side working with genealogy also.
I am the grandson on Harry L.Gigee and Hazel, son of George H. Gigee and Adeline, son of George D. Gigee and Julia, son of Hiram Gigee and Sally (aka Samantha).
In the census records I have found a James Gigee, son of Loren M. Gigee and Ethel I. Is this your family?
I have information on the Henderson and Gigee sides of my family which I would be glad to share. Paul Henderson, SusanWHenderson@aol.com.

This is a long shot, but here goes:

As I was researching my husband's family, I found his biological grandmother is most likely Hazel Eldred Cone Baker Gigee. I am 99.9 percent sure it is. Sorry, but this is going to be a long one, even condensed.

Anyway, here is the info I have on her:

1915, Stueben County, NY, marriage record no. 5183: Listed as age 19 (dob 1896), born of Eldred George Eldred and Anna Belle Bennett. Birthplace Middlesex, NY and current residence Avoca. Married to Dwight M. Cone, son of Robert Cone and Elizabeth Backer or Backus. Dwight's residence listed as Hornell and he was a junk man (or huckster). Performing the ceremony was Charles Henry Gall. Witnesses were C. H. Gall and Mary Belle Bennett. Marriage in Canisteo.

1928, Angelica, Allegany, NY: Dwight Cone sues Frank C. Baker for alienation of affections of his wife Hazel. It lists that by 1926 Dwight and Hazel had 6 children ranging in age from 3 - 10 years. These children were taken away and most sent west on the orphan train. A daughter, Grace, later returned to live with her father. Hazel and Dwight later divorced.

1935, Frank Baker dies: The Olean Times-Herald 20 Nov 1935 reported that Frank C. Baker was placed under indictment for burglary third degree on 12 Nov 1935 and he was taken ill with pneumonia the next day and died as a result of the illness. Survivors were listed as his wife, Hazel Cone Baker; sons Clarence, Donald and infant; daughter Frances, and brother Harold.

1936, Petition for Administration of Estate: This lists Hazel as being 45 at the time, which would make her dob 1891 or 1892. It also lists 6 more children, born between 1929 - 1936, one boy of which was adopted out. This also states that Hazel and Frank were married 20 Sept 1932. At the time of the petition, the five remaining Baker children were living with Hazel. Frank had been a wealthy farmer and cattle man near Angelica.

Between 1929 and 1931, Frank and Hazel spent some time in jail for adultery (twice) and also were fined for abandoning a week-old baby on a Bolivar doorstep in 1929. There may have been another case of abandonment during this time, also.

1937, Frank Baker Estate: Hazel is listed as Hazel Baker Gigee. All children except Bennie were living with her. Bennie was living with Gar and Irene Cobin. In March of 1937, Hazel had a daughter, Ethel Mae, who was adopted by Gar and Irene Cobin. Ethel Mae is my husband's mother.

2007, Obit for Loren M. Gigee: Son of the late Loren Lindsey Gigee and Hazel Baker Gigee. Born 1940. Retired minister from Two World's Church in Seattle, Wa, and died in Elmira, NY. Survivors listed are brothers Judson Gigee and Donnie Baker.

1988, Obit for Buelah Winnie Gigee lists survivors as son, Judson, stepchildren Betty Kinner, Romaine Gigee, and Loren M. Gigee, Jr. Sometime after 1940, Loren Lindsey Gigee
married Buelah Winnie.

It is my understanding that Romaine, Loren Jr and Betty Gigee Kinner were Hazel's biological children.

What happened to Hazel? Where did she come from and where did she go? I have never found her on a census and I can find no obit for her. Did she and Gigee divorce and she remarried? At Frank C. Baker's gravesite in Angelica, there is a double stone listing "Father" and "Mother" with Hazel M. Baker as Mother, 1892 - 19--, and no information that she is buried there.

Any and all help appreciated on this. Although my mother-in-law is still living, she doesn't make much sense anymore and no one seems to know where her birth certificate is. She also spoke of Grace Demick as being a half-sister to her, but how? I have found where Grace Demick's maiden name was Evens. But, could she be Grace Cone?
