Nehemiah Baker and Lydia Regester
Mood:  quizzical
Topic: Baker Lines

Hi!  I have been doing countless research on my Baker line for years and for the longest time I had Lydia Regester Bakers date of death as 1804.  Couldn't source it, just saw that so many other trees had the same date. 
Well, I was thumbing through orphans court records and I came across a Lydia Baker who died it 1778.  Nehemiah was one of  the administrators.  Now, I know Nehemiah also died in 1778.  

Is it possible that Lydia died before her husband, same year?  If not, and she did die in 1804, can someone please source it for me?  LOL

 

This isn't my direct line.  I have direct Direct Baker lines in my tree. 

One starting with Joseph Baker Jr (1673-1735), then Richard, Aaron, Richard, then Mary who married John Smedley.

My other Baker line starts with John Baker (1598-1672) then Joseph, then Sarah who married Thomas Smedley.

 

Thank you for your time!
