Pvt. Rollin Baker

quoting his sister

"We lived by the Will Bailey ranch. My brother Bill and I used to go to the Lake District School. My sister Jennie, Rollin and Ernest were away from home working. They would come home once in a while. My Grandpa Baker stayed with us most of the time. My dad bought the land before he passed away. So my sister and Rollin bought lumber and my mother, uncle and Rollin built that house, one up above and one below. Bill McKinney and my father were buried in our place. Only Bill [McKinney] and mother stayed there until Bill [Baker] finished grammar school. Then they moved over to Lake Almanor so he could finish high school in Westwood." ~• from: http://www.honeylakemaidu.org/ethno.html''

This per a close reading of both the 1910 census and the McKinney 1880 census: He is 7/8 "Mydoo" and 1/4 White

profile manager comment

with a given name as unusual as Rollin... and a birthplace in the Indian Valley area of Plumas... we might suspect that he is somehow closely related to Rollin Wilson Hough , a white, or his wife Kate Hough who was Maidu.
My thought is that <Rollin> was chosen to simply honor Rollin Wilson Hough
