Source: Mrs. Grace M. Hough of Baton Rough, LA. (Yr. 1991) Some of the information given me by Mrs. Hough was from some stories by Diane Dumas in "Baker, The First 200 Years, 1776-1976".[WHT: Below are some my comments, written to another researcher os this line.]
Your family line that descends from Thomas Christmas and Rebecca Collier has been a long, uncompleted, work in progress. A very nice lady, Grace Meadows Hough, who also descends from this line contacted me in 1990-91. We worked on it for several years, mostly by US Postal, and a few telephone calls. She let me borrow her copy of The Incredible Yanqui to read, but it was so long ago, that I have forgotten most of it. Grace has long since passed away, but I still hope to connect her Thomas Christmas.
